'LOL' means 'laughing out loud'. 'ROTFL' means 'rolling on the floor laughing'. Does that help?

Tolkien did not, I believe, write Middle-earth as a mirror of our world. A lot of the factors in it were of our old world, yes, but it wasn't made like our world exactly. I think the main difference is that, while both the inhabitants of Earth and of Middle-earth know what they ought to do, the Middle-earthean people have less trouble doing it.

I think that the morals are the same, as far as that goes. But it depends on the individuals rather than the civilization.
