The emperor had to maintain a strong army, but was having a difficult time getting soldiers to join his military leagues. Claudius believed that Roman men were unwilling to join the army because of their strong attachment to their wives and families.

One definition of middle-class is anyone whose life opportunities are optimistic, predictable, or upwardly mobile. Some others would say it's about watching our children succeed and do a heck of a lot better than we've done.

Please, think before you open your mouth. You may also wish to consider practicing a better method of communicating with others, besides trash talking.
Also, utilizing the only 27 words you know, interspersed with what I prefer to identify as crutches, such as "I'm like, he's like, she's like." or "you know", "ah", "um" and so many other noises, which are unacceptable and totally inefficient form of communication. Advertising invented terms like super-size and other made up monstrosities are just not proper uses of our language.
