hello /his/torians, i put together this game. Hopefully you understand how it works. Post and debate who is fucked and who is good to go. for the modifier, use the 1's place in the seconds of the post.
Scenario: you are behind enemy lines and have 3 days to make your way back to friendly german lines before they retreat farther back, leaving you to die. Can you make it?
modifiers:
broken arm- you can only use one arm (this means you are drastically less effective with two handed weapons)
heavy rain- makes you much harder to hear and see, but also...

I pick Finland, a p-38, a mantel and scarf, an attack doggo, a (1) russian sharpshooter, and Brawler

looks like you got d-day, armed with an STG-44, with a full assault kit, your companion is Hans and his motorcycle, you are fighting a russian sharpshooter, and your modifier is heavy rain. You like your chances?

I pick Finland since I lived there a year, Kar98 because I've held an original, mantel and scarf because Finnish winters are cold, attack doggo, resistance panzies, and multilingual.
Suppose I transfer to WTAMU to study polisci and my GPA resets. I went to community college first. Will law schools hold it against me that I went to a shitty state school?
Even if I get a high GPA. Is there still potential to get into a top 50?
Also when I transfer in my GPA will reset. I've done well previously in CC in the last year my lowest grade has been B.

I don't think you fully grasp how easy it is to get into a law school... Many law programs let you squeak in from a party school with a 2.0 GPA. You're fine for getting into a school no matter where your undergrad is. Don't expect employment after graduation by any means though. It's an extremely oversaturated market because any dumbfuck can get into it.
>>1396095
I went to CC then to a 4 year state school to finish my bachelors and am gonna be a 2L this year at a provisionally accredited school, but they gave me a full ride cuz they need students who can pass the bar.
Also don't study polisci, law school admissions know people use shitty liberal arts majors to boost an otherwise unimpressive GPA. They look favorably on students taking hard classes bc that means they will pass the bar. I did premed at CC then business at 4 year and it definitely preps you for law...

Just graduated from a top 50 and GPA of like 2.6 from a shitty state school but a 99th percentile LSAT. You also need to know how to sell yourself during the application process.
Is there any example of terrorist group, being able to influence the historical outcome to archive their goals? Basically did terrorism worked in the past? Was it important from historical point of view or is it just people died basically for nothing? What the best example of terrorism success?
What constitutes a terrorist depends on your point of view. Most of the independent countries in the world today are the direct result of the actions of terrorists.
Ho Chi Min got it to work.

French revolution sure, but a few tar featherings and the occasional asset destruction doesnt even touch todays terrorism. It was just a generic rebellion.
What did various cultures think about eating a girl out? I read somewhere that in ancient rome and greece, pussylicking was gayer than being fucked by another man, but what about other cultures?

The 2nd amendment permits the right to bear arms, however, back then it was all flint-lock muskets and pistols. Today we have semi automatic weapons, and its led to situations where police are shooting armed citizens who aren't breaking the law. The 2nd amendment is out-of-date for the times, yet, nobody wants to repeal it because nobody wants to give up their guns. And of course everybody appeals back to the "founding fathers" argument regarding the 2nd amendment and the idea of repealing it.
I think I have a solution that would work. They should have...

You see anon about 1% of people are classified as sociopaths. They're usually very bad people but tend to find themselves in high positions of power due to their skill of manipulation and cunning. The world is not full of fundamentally good people like your Taiwanese cartoons and upper middle class white upbringing would have you believe.

Looking for proof of the bear cult.
Would walk around naked, or in white robes. Seemed very peaceful and offer gifts of seeds to many people. Seemed naive and stupid, yet the most fierce warriors. Prized a glorious death above all, and would only fight with their bare hands.
They would be overly naive to lure in the ruthless folk who would take advantage of the lesser. Once a bear cult member was killed, it was all out war. They would dress in white robes, to symbolize the more blood the better at the end. The would literally tear their enemies into shreds, bite their...

>A woman was near death from a special kind of cancer. There was one drug that the doctors thought might save her. It was a form of radium that a druggist in the same town had recently discovered. The drug was expensive to make, but the druggist was charging ten times what the drug cost him to produce. He paid $200 for the radium and charged $2,000 for a small dose of the drug. The sick woman's husband, Heinz, went to everyone he knew to borrow the money,...

No
He should have prayed harder
>>1394875
I would say, yes, he was correct. Human life is worth more than laws against theft and the individual act of one man to steal a drug would not have prevented the druggist successfully making money from his invention.
However it strikes me as being something of a simplistic and false dilemma as there are other ways to make money.
>>1394875
Depends on your views, there is no single right or wrong answer. It also does not state the repercussions of the theft. But to me, he did the wrong thing for the right reasons, the druggist is a shitty person for wanting to turn ten times profit on a life saving drug, but he is free to do so so long as laws are not in place to prevent it. And if there are laws to do so then there should have been legal channels to go through.
Is the worship of the USA and its constitution and the Founding Fathers a religion?
More or less yes. At least from what i see, Americans are more hang up on repeating forefather quotes, clichés and dogmas than on listening to reason (muh commandment, muh freedoms, muh Jesus etc.) which is basically the definition of religion.
>>1394771
It's actually a shame it came to this. I'm pretty sure their Founding Fathers would be horrified with the people that worship them the most.

I'm reading about the life of Emperor Constantine I, and I am surprised as to why he is hailed as a great Emperor when his entire life story sounds like that of the typical upstart and rebel warlord, of the same type that plagued the late Roman Empire and caused the Tetrarchy to be implemented in the first place.
He is indistinguishable from Maxentius or Licinius: he was just another power-hungry man who wanted to obtain more power than the other Caesars or Augustii, intriguing against his co-rulers and disregarding orders because he thought he had a better claim...

You are entirely correct. It should have been Diocletian the Great, or Aurelian the Great, but instead the Romans get saddled with Constantine. It's why Julian is labelled the Apostate, not because o f who he was or his exemplary qualities, but because christians couldn't handle Julian the Martyr, or Julian the Scholar.
I dislike Constantine merely for his part in helping Christianity develop into such a strong force.
>>1393931
Constantine was a questionable christian at best though. Even his deathbed conversion was done under a heretic.

That qoute has the ordering of events backwards. Galileo had support by the establishment until he attacked the Pope, then they started branding him with "heresy". It was a clear example of misuse of institutional power, but what it was not was a case of Religion vs Science, since Galileo lacked sufficient evidence in the first place, and that was the reason why he got into conflict with the church in the first place.
>>1392678
>was the reason why he got into conflict with the church in the first place.
he got into conflict because he wanted the Church to support his heliocentric interpretation of several Bible verses, when heliocentrism was pretty much a fringe theory slowly getting serious attention. Had he actually focused on getting evidence and not trying to impose his Biblical interpretations on the Church the transition to heliocentrism wouldve been much earlier and Galileo would be overshadowed by...
