There's a reason Nomadshits stopped being a problem by the late 16th Century.
Hi guys, i've been trying to find this for a couple of hours but it was in vain. Maybe you could help me.
This old decanter globe has been in my family even before my grandfather was born (He was born here in Argentina in 1922 from Italian fathers)
His fathers were from Italy and came to Argentina in 1882 from the port of Havre in france, they where (I think) from Turin or someplace in the north of Italy.
I've found that the decanter is very similar to what you could find in Google as "French old globe Limoges decanter" Limoges is a place in France...

Part Two: Argentina is divided in two Argentina and the Patagonia, were indigenous use to live, so this say that the globe must be from before the Conquest of the Desert (The Conquest of the Desert was a military campaign directed mainly by General Julio Argentino Roca in the 1870s with the intent to establish Argentine dominance over Patagonia, which was inhabited by indigenous peoples. So we killed al the indigenous from the Patagonia during the campaign).

What is the greatest human virtue? Is is faith? Is it courage? Is it hope? Is it wisdom? Or... maybe something else? What is your opinion?
Greatest as in its most useful from a biological perspective? I would argue that it is persistence.

Definitely a good choice. Other alternative is being an intelligent, but without both it's a very dead end.

>Finland is the only part of the former Russian Empire that didn't reunite with Russia as part of the Soviet Union
How did they do it?
>>1330533
Are you retarded
>>1330533
because Finland has balls
Lenin promised Finland its independance before the revolution started. Of course he did it with the expectation that Finland would turn communist and come back to the communist fold eventually.

Why there is so much population density in the Benelux area? Was it always like that? Was there another regions in Europe that had a very large population densities like this regions, but now have decreased values? If so, why?
>>1330488
>food
>yes
>what values?
>>1330488
It lays on the Rhine delta making it superb farmland. The Netherlands ecspecially is a major producer of food and Dutch are the tallest ethnicity in Europe because historically speaking they've suffered very few famines. Places like the Saxony that touch the Elbe might rival it with Hamburg and Bremen being examples of this. It's also a major hub for seafaring trade due to its location in conjunction with the English Channel and the North Sea.

Pretty much this
>>1330525
These lands are incredibly fertile, to the point where we're in the top 10 agricultural producers on the planet to this very day despite our size.
Also, if you want regions that match us in population density, try this: London, Paris and Mexico City have a total population comparable to that of the Netherlands or Belgium. And they're CITIES.
Has anything replaced God? Some people say money, some people say sex. Of course, science is always a possibility--on that subject, should "science" and "technology' be used interchangeably? When people put science on pedestal, are they really just putting technology on a pedestal? Or this is distinction itself of no importance?

Something something Oswald Spenglar quote about people putting more faith into technology and science
bump
Possibly secular humanism.
>Putting science on a pedestal
The teenagers and redditors who put ""science"" on a pedestal typically just like looking at pictures of an andromeda or a random fact shared by a "WE LOVE SCIENCE" type page on FB or Twitter.

There is ONLY one English monarch that is known as "great."
Henry V

That's only becase Athelstan, his grandson, is not more known.
