"Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's"
What did he mean by this?
Christs may come and Christs may go, but Caesar is forever.

Play the game.
He's reponding to people trying to trick him into taking a side in the Roman/Judean conflict.
He's pretty much saying he doesn't give a fuck about politics.
>"Why should it be "moral" for a man to have sexual access to many females (many wives) but "immoral" for a woman to have sexual access to many males (many husbands)?
>This basic sexual inequality between men and women where women have been considered the "property" of the male has, in fact, been a curse on humanity. It is one of the single most important factors that has contributed to sexual exploitation and violence against women and children. Why is it that sexual exploitation...

>Specifically, in my study of primitive cultures, I found the following statistically significant social-behavioral characteristics of cultures that punished pre-marital and/or extra-marital sex: 1) slavery is present; 2) low female income; 3) personal crime is high; 4) kin group is patrilineal; 5) wives are "purchased"; 6) sex disability is present; 7) intensity of sex anxiety is high; 8) castration anxiety is high; 9) bellicosity is extreme; 10) military glory is strongly emphasized; 11) killing, torturing and mutilation of enemy captured in...

>Before answering these questions it is important to note that some of the above relationships in the human primate have also been observed, in part, in certain non-human primate species. For example, in those non-human primate troops where the female freely mates with most or all of the males in the troop it has been found that the males are typically protective of the female and her offspring.

>>"Why should it be "moral" for a man to have sexual access to many females
Its not. The retarded idea that it was is what lead to women aping men and becoming equally promiscuous.
Any Nihilists here? I am a Nihilist. I am currently attempting to formulate a notion of 'heroic nihilism'.
You may not post in my thread if you are steeped in ideology.
Describe what you believe.
>>301003
It is extremely crude at the moment and is likely to be derivative and better expressed by somebody who I have yet to read. I accept the basic nihilist premise, that ascribing any form of meaning to life is a distraction from life itself. Life is merely the passing of time, which, when we are aware of it, transfers from boredom to horror to dread. Now, I believe that rather than creating some kind of ideal to strive to, we must accept the world for what it is, be confidant in our understanding that there is no meaning...

You realize that the real Hamilton wasn't black, right?
Still like him now?

who cares, race is a social construct
Hamilton did help found the New York Manumission Society which one of the first anti-slavery organizations in the United States, so yes, even by today's standards: Hamilton would be able to run for office.
>nationalism didn't exist until after Napoleon
When will this meme die? Nationalism has existed since ancient Greece, they viewed the Persians and other tribes in Europe as inferior to their Hellenistic superiority
>>300858
That's not nationalism, desu. Nationalism is connected with the system of the nation-state, which began in the 19th century.
It wasn't political nationalism though, they didn't try to unite Greek people under one flag, and they had no problems with allying "barbarians" against each other from Peloponnese War onward.
Nationalism =/= "ethnicities exist". It's more about the concept of a nation state which really didn't exist until the late 18th / early 19th century.
Has an Arab army / fighting force ever made a good account of itself anywhere anytime in the modern era?
>>300739
The Jordan Legion made a good account of itself in the original 1948 war.
Have you read this fampai?

Arab rebels working with Lawrence?
Then again, depends on what you mean by modern.
When did the American accent start to develop, and when did the American people generally stop sounding British?
Is the depiction of the founding fathers and characters in movies and shows about early America speaking with British accents historically correct, or were there already differences by that time?
>>300569
>When did the American accent start to develop, and when did the American people generally stop sounding British?
It didnt
Americans speak the way Brits spoke in 18th century
Meanwhile, British accent degenerated from 1783 to nowdays into the faggy thing it's now
The British accent that you, for example, hear on BBC is fairly new.
During the founding of America both the Americans and the British would of had an accent that sounded somewhat like a modern Scottish accent.
The HBO miniseries John Adams does the best job of demonstrating that accent.
>>300728
Wow, so britain and japan were culturally destroyed by losing wars? That's scary.

Was there an Arab leader more based than Nasser?
Utterly useless leader. Lead Egypt right down into the toilet.
Objectively, it's hard to argue with the House of Saud being the best managers in the Arab world.
>>300573
Get out wahhabi scum
>>300577
You seem to forget Nasser was the next thing to a communist, and utterly destroyed the Egyptian economy, in addition to leading it into multiple disastrous wars.
>Hey anons we finally made a history board!
>However lets also add a humanities to it so that the board gets taken over by armchair philosophers and their inane opinions and misquotes.
this kills the history board
>>300490
>waahhh I want to waste my time circlejerking over the Romans or Nazis wahhh
>>300490
Have you seen the (abject lack of) quality of the historical discussion on this board?
Also nice meta-thread faggot.
>>300526
Only reason it lacks quality is because the humanities side keeps wanting to circlejerk in those threads.
without them it would be more about historical facts and events rather than "Was eugenics a good thing?"
Why are Italians shit at fighting? Didn't Napoleon use them in his wars? What happened?

I'm interested in Archimedes heat ray.
They think it was some giant mirror used to set ships on fire.

We don't really know, and none of the experimental archaeology projects worked.
I wonder, how many got sick and died in the internment camps in America during WWII? Their living conditions were terrible.
>>300299
1862 Japanese Americans died in internment. Most of them from sicknesses related to old age.
Funnily enough, 5981 people were born in internment.
>>300318
Their living conditions were terrible compared to how most people get to live and what they were used to, but not as bad as the living conditions of those in concentration camps in Europe, or Soviet gulags. It doesn't surprise me that some of them got sick and died. Thanks for telling me the answer to that, I'm somewhat surprised someone here knew.
Was the black plague actually just a cheeky ebola-like hemorrhagic virus?
>implying there weren't OCD types/clean freaks back then who kept rats and fleas out of their ouse and still caught that shit anyway.
>>300297
>Was the Black Death not Yersinia pestis as is the most commonly held hypothesis and one which is supported by genetic evidence; but instead an ebola-like virus, not for any sensible reason founded in research but because of some retarded brain fart >implication?
>>300321
/thread
Probbably was a different strain from the one the was discoverred in china. The main difference is the propagation, the Black death discover in china was really slow in comparison whit the one that fuck up Europe. Also they have sustancial genetic difference. Finally the symtons don't match whit ebola at all. Ebola is an hemorragic infection, the balck dead was not .
