This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's almost like modern United States were built on an ancient Indian burial ground...

Oof.

And from the ashes of Roman imperialism, no less. And, by the way, that is the only thing imperialism brings - ashes...

Some of the ruins are pretty neat too. But back then their architecture had style. The ruins of todays concrete and steal cubes are going to be lame.

Idk, subways would be pretty cool to explore, especially the fancy stations in places like Seoul where there are tons of shops and stuff.

Literally. The Mayflower settlers moved into a town that had recently been wiped out by disease. People were still mourning in nearby communities when they just walzed in.
