Because it is reality, the only thing that exists, superretard

Why is reality good?

Because its your friend trust it and you will be better off

In my opinion it's a good thing. If an entire jury, rigorously selected, agrees that a "crime" isn't worth being punished for, then it shouldn't be.

Leaving the task of making a balanced and well thought out legal decision up to a bunch of random assholes is usually not ideal in the first place. Add a dash of having lawyers who actually research how best to manipulate juries and you've got a jolly old time.

There's a place for juries, but you can't assume they'll be rational.

It will get you rejected from jury duty quicker than a rock in compton

Don't be a jerk because you succumb to base desires like the lust for power.

You should want to do good, not see good and evil as a means to an end.
Good is an end in itself.

Poland would be free

As i recall Czechoslovakia was in a better position to defend itself than Poland ever was due to the terrain and already in place fortefications.

This is true, and as an added effect, Germany wasn't nearly as strong in 1938 as they would be in 1939.

However, I'm pretty sure that Britain and France were also considerably weaker, although I haven't done a lot of reading on how much, but I know Britain for instance almost doubled her defense spending post-Munich.

How that new equation would turn out is something I don't feel qualified to make claims about.

Underrated in what sense? What did that incestuous, spoiled brat ever accomplish other than a failed military career and being son of a corrupt pope?

Being the source of modern jesus portraits?

How was he underrated? Machiavelli wrote a book about him. A book that's part of the canon in most countries.

>>1340265
Little is known about him because little was written down in his time. His reign was so peaceful and comfy that historians couldn't think of anything to write about.

>>1340265
Hadrian intended him to be a stop gap between himself and Marcus Aurelius. Unfortunately he just kept living. Antoninus benefited from the success of Hadrian and was an able administrator. However he lacked the vision and initiative that defined the reigns of his predecessors. This would lead to a difficult reign for Marcus Aurelius where many of the problems ignored by Antoninus exploded with disastrous results.

>>1340629
Basically everything that could be said about him.

He does deserve props though for not letting the Senate and patricians drag Hadrian's name through the mud and stood up for him, even though he knew he was just a stop gap for Aurelius.

Yeah sure why not.

Yes. In ritual battles and war. Also some glory in raiding. As soon as combat was switched from ritual warfare to massed engagements, most of the honor was lost. With the advent modern (total) warfare, there-s little glory to be gained either.

Also, ww2 sniper duels were among (if not THE) the last forms of semi-ritual warfare left.

I believe that is Tojo.

You're right. They all look the same to

Your scare-greentext doesn't really work if it's the man who discovered how to cure pellagra

I suppose it depends on what you view as wrong and whether or not the benefits of such horrible experiments were good for humanity.

As far as I am aware of, they tested Smallpox vaccines on orphaned children and prisoners before providing it to the aristocracy, and they used orphans to carry cowpox across the pond to the USA to start treatments there. Obviously the benefits of smallpox vaccines are apparent.

As a scientist and someone who loves to engage in philosophy, I kinda have a weird perspective into both worlds, considering I have seen people who'd...

Back in the late 70's they used to run this late at night. Never during the early evening though.

Lost a lot of sleep watching this whenever it came on.

Damn good film.

Weirdest thing is that the movie was made by the Soviets and used actual soviet soldiers as extras.

But if you know nothing, how do you know you truly understand the quote?

>>1339367
No you don't. I do on the other hand. Trust me. I'm a genius.

>>1339369
the quote is more about being aware that eventually you know nothing and that you should always seek knowledge with an innocent manner, as if you don't know anything and always wish to learn more, it's a manner of approach to knowledge so you won't get too self-confident and make ethical mistakes, not to reject all knowledge as unattainable.

No. I belong to organization against mass immigration to Europe. Basically what I've read that christian/muslim population changed during 2nd part of 20th century. But I can't find any statistics more or less about Lebanon population in 1910s, 1920s. And I have a bacherol degree in history as history teacher

I sincerely hope the article is not in English.

Not doing your homework for you.

Basically in Ancient Greece is was seen as strange to walk in public with a women but a young male was a status symbol, whist may believe the relationship was homosexual in truth it was more a business arrangement with the young male mingling with the upper classes and the older male being seen as strong and rich

I think Waterloo is the most important battle of the Napoleonic wars, France lost and he was sent to St. Helena to rot and Europe was at peace for the first time for hundreds of years.

>>1338856


Not that big of a deal. Napoleonic France was nowhere near as strong as it used to be. If he had somehow won, another coalition would have formed, more troops would have been mobilized, and he'd have been stomped.
