Civilization is the west history. Documentary by Harward professor.

I thought this sub-forum is in dire need of some semi-intelligent discussion.

Has anyone seen this perl?

It's based on Niall Ferguson's work. I think I'll probably give it a miss.

Let's not get carried away.

If anyone wanted to make a point regarding the decliine of Western civilisation this would be very compelling.

^No doubt. But if you look into the "What are you reading" thread, you'll see a couple people who read serious stuff on the forum.

But on the whole you should remember that this is a forum for clothes enthusiasts, which if we're honest, is not a very noble hobby for one to take up. I don't think the person who puts on fancy clothes is all that superior to someone who plays video games or watches sports.
