Rome fell because lead was used for water pipes. The natives became brain-damaged.

The lead pipe bit is quite over-stated. Perversion and immorality are likewise not viable causes.

Bad immigration policies, disease, and bloated, corrupt government are far better candidates for why the Empire ended.

Because they allowed foreigners to become their leaders. No, not a joke. They fell apart as a unit when they allowed that.
