While you're technically right, Gaddafi also kinda brought that on himself. He wasn't just some low level peasant being sodomized with a pike for shits and giggles. He really really pissed some people off.
Dying from an infected cut must have been so romantical.
The origin of BBQ!
[Old French, barbe à cul (beard to ass) meaning impaled on a turnspit.]
So where does "roasted on a spit" come from?
"Amateur."

Thy defense hath more holes than my mother's swiss cheese!
I bet that guy didn't even have to pay to get pegged with that dildo on a pool cue though
You may as well have shown a picture of people enjoying dating and music in the 60s.
I think some decades were much better than today for sure, at least in terms of enjoying life.
I would go to the 60s rather than go to the future if given the choice. I used to be the other way, looking forward to the future because cool tech etc. But not now.
As a woman who was a teenager in the 1960s, yeah no thanks. Once was enough. Good music but everything else was shite.
In what way? I would love to hear more about it, honestly. From my perspective it seems super relaxed and people were friendly and loving... But that's just from watching TV shows about it. I'm born 1975...
I sure wouldn't want to be black or a woman in the 1960s.

Civil rights has entered the chat.
For starters, ever heard of the Vietnam War?
I'm assuming you are from US, so I don't think any woman or black person from there will agree with you. These ppl had no rights or these were ignored in the majority of your country. In 1959 the last baseball team starts to accept Negros in their teams. I don´t believe that one year after everything were fine. And if you talk about any other place out of US, well, it is worse, Europe has families divided by cold war, IIrc UK we're having an economic crisis... I really believe that were bobbles during this time, but it was for a minority
In what way?
Idk something tells me being black or gay or a woman or an American or Vietnamese man from the ages 18-24 wouldn't be too hot in the 60s but what do I know, we only have entirely unfettered access to historical documents from the time.
Vietnamese ppl: I'm a joking to you?
I don't think this would be as good as you think, because we can't "unknow" what we know today. The obvious one is giving up all the social progress we've made since then. Also, imagine knowing about climate change and being surrounded by people who either don't know or are worried about it but don't have the science we have today to understand the issue. All the nightmares we have today will still happen, but you're trapped in the past knowing it all and not being able to do anything about it.
60s...? With the stinky self-righteous hippies and overblown music? I have it on good authority that the 70s were actually where it was at.
Overblown music? What in tarnation are you talking about? Some of the greatest songs ever written were recorded in that decade.
