In 9th grade my history teacher tried to convince me that Rome was the biggest empire ever by land area.

Never heard of Mongolia huh

That was the first thing I mentioned, but she said it technically didn't count because it was "actually four seperate khanates." I thought that was bull shit but whatever
Estimate from all known conflicts involving Britain and Ireland historically.
>50.000 British men dead and for what? what a waste.
Cromwell absolutely fucked Ireland for the rest of history. I think job well done.
Your own fault, you invaded a country filled with angry violent Celts, what did you expect would happen?
What historical changes led to feminism and the emancipation of women?
>inb4 the Jews
I'm not sure if I understand the question. The idea of women being treated equally to men existed since long before the first-wave feminism movement and I'm not sure if any historical event caused any sort of spark.

>the idea of women being treated equally to men
I should probably reword this as
>the idea of women having equal rights to men
Has there ever been a man in history that had traits of a god?
i.e Unworldy strength, incredible feats, has done things that you personally think would qualify as inhuman?

>Everyone has to suffer because someone choose to eat the wrong apple
>Sometimes people are born with physical or mental defects not because of the wrong choices of their parents or ancestors, but because it fulfills the will of God
For what purpose?
God works in mysterious ways :)
Agnostic disbelieverfag here.
The way I've heard it explained is that God created man so that man could experience love - but you can only have love if there's free will involved. So when Adam and Eve chose to eat the apple, it wasn't god "predestining" it will happen, it was an act that Adam and Eve made for themselves because of the freedom granted to them afforded by God.
What was his problem?
His mother beat him too hard
The Bourgeoisie.
Probably narcissism, like most if not all dictators
Why is logical positivism frowned upon?
>>917448
because scientists are not good philosophers and philosophers are not good scientists
>>917448
On the contrary, it is praiseworthy.
>>917448
Because it dismissed the role of qualia in philosophy of mind. We all know qualia exists because we all experience it and can talk about it. Yet it's not observable and therefore logical positivism would dismiss it. That's how you end up with behaviorism/functuanalism/physicalism. Some epiphenomenalists will argue that qualia are just a shadow of the mind and have no causal role. Yet when you see your wife cheating you experience anger, a qualitative state, and may act on impulse.

Intuition is the basis.
The New Testament was originally written almost exclusively in Greek. That means that the most authentic teachings of Christ the Redeemer were preserved in the Greek world.
What kind of Christianity is predominant in Greece today? Orthodox Christianity.
Checkmate Catholicfags.
And by extension: Checkmate Protestantfags, wasting their time talking shit about the Catholicfags instead of being True Orthodox Christians. Shame.

What are the stats on the Analovos?
What kind of retarded logic is this?
Orthodox Christians have sicker robes than anybody else.
Chinese culture is rock solid.
There are no leaps of faith. A reasonable and balanced approach to life and the universe is already encoded into the language.
Yin and yang, feminine and masculine, passive and active, child and parent, wife and husband, woman and man, younger brother and elder brother, elder sister and younger sister, kohai and senpai (in the Japanese pronunciation of those Chinese characters,) servant and master, worker and boss, beast and person.
No bizarre one-sided conflict between good and evil, where an all powerful god somehow allows the...

i wonder who's behind this post?

I'm actually white, and a Hellenist. Just playing devil's advocate.
If Chinese culture was so great, it would've withstood Western ideologies. Unfortunately, most of China's traditional culture is gone and replaced with consumer capitalism, just like their neighbors.

Why was Germany always so bad in foreign policy?
>>916970
Because they only want to have serious discussions.
Because 'Germany' never existed. You had Bavarians, Prussians, Hessians, and Saxons, but no Germans. No one cares about German identity except ivory tower elites who saw in a unified nation an opportunity to benefit themselves.
They didn't want to bend the knee to Jewish bankers.

It's been dead for 50 fucking years.
Can we say there is inferior cultures? That someone from some place, with certain traditions and manners is 'uncivilized'?
Could we say there's a standard for being 'civilized', without being biased?
>>916873
>Can we say there is inferior cultures?
Yes, and it's called American culture.
>>916873
Nope since every culture has its own measurements to determine whuch culture is superior and which not. And, suprise suprise, their own culture is always the one who fits all criteria.
>>916873
Without being biased? No.
