It was heavily defended, due to the narrow space they could set up lots of machine gun points
Arguing with a Nietzsche fan is infuriating. Any time you make a point against him, they tell you you've misinterpreted him. Any time you cite an incompleteness in his thinking, they tell you you haven't read enough of him. If you REALLY start to critique him properly, they'll pull the ultimate weasel move and claim he wasn't even a philosopher at all.
It's almost not worth it. Just put them all in the zoo where they can enjoy themselves.
Sounds like arguing with Marxists.
It's because every white boy has an intimate sentimental relationship with neetskeet and doesn't like to see their favourite aphorist go.
>Why is the French Revolution considered more influential/groundbreaking than the American Revolution?
Without the American Revolution it is doubtable there would have been a french revolution, and even if there was it would have been delayed by a great deal. While the French Revolution shattered the concept of a infallible Monarchy, it didnt really change the political world outside of france.

why did modern greece claimed alexander? isnt he macedonians?
I thought he is macedonians, of sure
Ancient Greece was not a political entity, it was roughly defined group of city states with a common culture. Macedonia was a kingdom in ancient Greece. Neither it nor ancient Greece exist anymore, obviously, so really nobody can "claim" him. The modern nations of Greece and Macedonia just happen to occupy roughly the same land.

>Macedonia was a kingdom in ancient Greece
Macedonia was not in Greece, it is its own kingdom. And Macedonia still exists.
>tfw there are no great non-European philosophers, or even half-decent ones
Why is this? What the hell is wrong with the rest of the world?

>Westerners are best at Western philosophy
Gee I wonder why.
But even so there are plenty of notable non-European philosophers, like the Kyoto School's Nishitani Keiji, Nishida Kitaro and Tanabe Hajime. You just don't hear about them.
>>983549
Completely untrue, unless you restrict philosophy down to the analytic & continental. There's many other forms of philosophy.
>>983549
because philosophy, as in a specific systemaic, disciplined and logic bound approach to 'thinking things', in of themselves, and in of itself, beyond religious context, is a tipicaly european thing
theres examples of it in other cultures but they are usualy one off things
taoism or texts developing buddhist thought or vedic texts etc... and teachers, arent realy philosophy in the strict sense, you could say they 'reflect a philosophy' simply in the sense of a particular paradigm of thought

I've never seen this, but are the group on the right the good guys? They all seem happy and fresh faced while all of the left group are sullen and condescending looking
Killing Hitler isn't morally justifiable
The categorical imperative says that the way to test the morality of an action is to think about what would happen is if everybody did it
Kill Hitler because he's a murderer - killing murderers is right
Everybody kills murderers, everybody becomes a murderer and gets killed
World is fucked
Prove me wrong
It doesn't matter because he killed himself like a pussy. Pathetic.
>>985685
The categorical imperative is flawed because it assumes that everyone doing the same thing is somehow ideal. But it's not - specialization is one of the defining characteristics of civilization.
Killing Hitler isn't morally justifiable*

Who was the richest person of all time?
I'm told it was that roman charioteer guy
Crassus probably. Or Octavian
>>982633
Probably not.

Who contributed most to defeating Napoleon?
Who benefited most?
Who was the greatest general?
Well Nelson fucked their entire Navy.

OP I think you are still giving easy fodder for /int/ shitposting in how you've worded the OP. Topics around the Napoleonic Wars are particularly at risk of /int/-tier nationalistic and anti-nationalist oversimplification and fabrication of details around events.

The playing fields of Eton
There's a breathless hush in the Close to-night --
Ten to make and the match to win --
A bumping pitch and a blinding light,
An hour to play and the last man in.
And it's not for the sake of a ribboned coat,
Or the selfish hope of a season's fame,
But his Captain's hand on his shoulder smote --
'Play up! play up! and play the game!'
The sand of the desert...

Give us one good reason why gladiatorial sport should not come back in some way shape or form.
>>981433
Wrestling and boxing exist
>>981439
>Implying we didn't have that back then too
>>981439
eh, those have been around since before gladiator fights. the only reason Gladiator fights were a thing, iirc, that they fights were originally a part of the ceremony when during a funeral or something. then they lost that significance and became the entertainment spectacles of the Roman world.
To answer the question, it'd probably end up being some kind of human rights violations to force two people to hack and slash at each other.
Post the most meme politician you can find.
>In opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957, he conducted the longest filibuster ever by a lone senator, at 24 hours and 18 minutes in length, nonstop.

How does one filibuster?
>>974034
Does it involve an invasion of a south American country?
he was also banging the young black maid in the house he grew up in - she had a kid by him
I guess he "fillied her buster" more than a few times if you know what I mean.

Why does the Old Testament have laws for divorce but not for marriage?
I tried asking my pastor, but all he said was
>God, in His mercy, creates the cure before the disease
Which just confused me more. Help pls
>>988111
Marriage traditions were already established in Eden, it was already hammered out, divorce was still a messy process for us then, so God had to clear it up, that or it was an issue then so he decided to create clear cut laws,
>>988111
Jesus addressed this when He spoke of divorce.
Matthew 19
“Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
That's marriage.
Leave, then cleave.

Thanks for explaining it better but OP was talking about OT
