Is Free Market Capitalism and secular democracy appropriate for a Christian society?
I grew up Protestant, so was obviously taught Jesus loves Capitalism and America, but converting to Catholicism later in life, I've grown skeptical of both.
>>Note: I'm not a leftist
I wonder though, can a Christian, in good conscience, accept a society that's turned pornography into a multi-billion dollar industry?
I've also grown skeptical of separation of Church and state. I think a better scenario would see...

Trying to analyze how the the narrative and moral basis of the christian religion (and its proselitysm) is entwined with western culture and policies is an appropriate historical thread.
Asking how society should change to accomodate your world view is a political one.

If you had to choose one decade of the 20th century to live in... which one would you choose and why?
The 90s.
Well, I already lived in it, and it was pretty nice. 9/10 would live through again.
80s in loop mode.
The 50s and 20s seem interesting too, but I actually experienced the spectacle of the 80s.

One thing about me is I cringe hard whenever my professor is wrong. I'm just that assburger.

HOW DID HE GET HIS MASTERS???

Most of a Master's degree program in a liberal arts field is buddy system bullshit.
Academics, and I say this as nonpolitically as I can, are some of the most conniving, backstabbing people out there.
As far as why he's a teacher, I'm assuming you go to an American public school, so you're lucky he isn't a community college drop out with a degree in "general education" and a teaching certification.

Thered be a massive interior desert. Like, truly massive, makes the Sahara look like a kid's sandbox. Using that map, basically all of Brazil, Uruguay, Venezuela, the USA east of the Rockies, Canada east of their Rockies, everything in south Greenland, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Egypt, most of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Ethiopia, Somalia, most of Pakistan, most of India, Ceylon, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and a good portion of Argentina, and everything in between, would all be desert.

What does /his/ think of Osprey Books? Are they good entry read for all those subjects that they represent?
They are definitely good entry points. People were compiling a huge list of books in a documentary in a thread the other day.
>>66401
They are more often than not quite good and the illustrations and pictures are great.
Expensive if you were to actually buy physical copies, I just torrent the ebooks.
Very good, they cover a broad area of armys ranging from the Warlord armys of civil war china to the East German Army.

And I want to kill myself on a daily basis because of my career choices.

Pick up a programming language and apply french medieval history to it.

Do you consider Neanderthals human?
No. I would've considered them people though.
We could breed with them brah. One race the human race
>>65890
Neanderthal hybrids in Europe didn't pass on their genes though. East Asians have more Neanderthal admixture.
What would have happened if both horses and smallpox were introduced to the New World ~1000-1200AD by the Norse? (which seems entirely plausible)
That's ~500 years to build up immunity to smallpox, and to master horse warfare (and probably build some large empires in the process).
Is it likely that North America in particular would ever have been conquered by Europeans?
>>65800
Well the Plains indians had 200 years with horsies and all they did was to become American Steppe Nomads.
Aztec were kekolds and tought spanish conquerors were gods, so probably yes
>>65800
Either slower genocide due to some attila the hun tier resistance. or complete ejection of immigrants back to europe. who knows ?
Who was before the Indo-Europeans?

Proto-Indo-Europeans.
