'Unforgiven'

Could you imagine living in the western part of the United States from the Civil War until the late 1800s? What a miserable experience.

First, guys can go around and do whatever they want with little or no repercussion. However, if you're a victim, you just haphazardly put out a bounty on the offending party to be killed and suddenly you've got a bunch of hillbilly's riding into town shooting or getting shot themselves.

If you shoot the guys trying to instill some kind of justice, that's OK because you're defending yourself.

Plus, no one wants to be sheriff because they get shot all the time.

It's miserable. Then you've got to shit in a box, drink crappy water, eat beans and then have to share crappy bedding with a bunch of other dudes who eat beans.

Furthermore, the whores in "Unforgiven" weren't good looking or anything, but there's no way whores in the 1880s in no-man's land Montana even look that good.

What a disaster the wild west was!
