Here's a serious question /his/
Is it wrong to have sex with a minor, IF the minor has shown consent?
I'm well aware that it's illegal, but is there anything wrong with it?
It's a crime with no victim.
I would personally never have sex with minor, but I just simply don't see what's wrong with it.
Yes because children are stupid, naive and often unaware of their own decisions
>>848509
It can fuck a child up psychologically. Even if they give "consent", they may not realize what they're getting into.
Are there kids who had sex and ended up fine? I'm sure there are, but I'd consider them the exception not the rule.
>>848509
I had a friend who was 14 that wanted more than anything to be a professional wrestler.
If a professional wrestler heard that and offered to go 1 on 1 with them and the kid agreed, would that be right? Of course not, because kids can not comprehend what they are choosing to do.
Why did Victor Hugo and Leo Tolstoy both believe that Napoleon was such an invincible badass that only God's will could have caused him to lose the war?
>>848508
it was the truth
>>848508
Because Napoleon was such an invincible badass that only God's will could have caused him to lose the war.
Tolstoy hated Napoleon
How did XVIIIth century armies decide the color of their uniforms?
>Hey, the Brits are red, and Prussians are dark blue, so umm, we should go with white
>>848443
Through subjectivity.
>>848443
Nah, the Bourbons made white their official color because they felt it was God's color or something
They even made France's national flag a plain white flag
>>848443
Visibility was one - Bretty important in the smoke and dust of battle. Brits ran away with red because it was the cheapest bright dye.
State/Dynastic Colors- Swedes went with blue and yellow coz..their flag & king.
Unit markers- Cavalry often had different uniforms than infantry.
I am curious about how the Muslims viewed the Crusaders. Are there any books on the subject from the Muslim viewpoint?
>>848022
>Are there any books on the subject from the Muslim viewpoint?
Hopefully not. Theologically driven history went out with Ranke. But there should be books ABOUT the Muslim viewpoint.
>>848022
The crusades hardly had any lasting impact on the muslim world. Muslims did not even have a distinct word for crusades, as they saw it as the continuation of the standard war between them and european powers.
>>848022
There wasn't any unified opinion in Syria during the First Crusade (as there was none for actual military action).
Beyond obvious war atrocities, actual Lordship over Muslims in Latin colonies was pleasant, and thus a local surge in Jihadic sentiment was very slow to crystallize.
Why is Nap known as a warmonger when he only started 2 wars?
Anglos
>>848020
And Germans.
Because he annexed a tonne of city states, does no one here seriously play civ 5
You know what to do.
Obligatory.

>Americans will defend this
One was enough, but why two?
Who would win in a battle?
The Mongols under Genghis Khan and Subutai versus the Roman Republic under Scopio.
Both have 100,000 men and both at peak strength
>>846791
Mongols
>>846791
What's the terrain/location?
>>846791
The Mongol cavalry would have been unlike anything from Roman times. They would get savaged.
I've noticed people often go on about how we today, in the Western World, have it better than kings of old ever did. At least in my experience. How true is that though?
Pic probably unrelated
Sorta. We dont get free glory, we shit in toilets and use refrigerators, we have slightly less liability.
Yes, at least in the sense of material conditions and safety. Obviously, we don't have knights or peasants at our command or any sort of major political power.
>>846041
Did you shit in a toilet and wipe with something today?

Hey /his/, you guys know a lot, can you help me out?
Is there any female legendary hero, along the lines of Gilgamesh and Cú Chulainn?
Seems like there gotta be at least a couple from some obscure mythology or epic, but I don't know any.
Fate/stay
>>>/a/
"Heroines" did exist, but the exploits of these so-called "heroines" have very little to do with ye olden hero myth of monster slaying, invincibility and wanton massacres.
There used to be "heroine" cults, for example there were the Menelaion dedicated to both Menelaus and Helen at Therapne near Sparta, a shrine at Mycenae dedicated to Agamemnon and Cassandra, another at Amyklai dedicated to Alexandra (another name for Cassandra).
>>843850
You know who taught CuChulainn right.
I was looking through the screenshots folder on my phone and saw this and remembered an old thread I had posted here a while ago (pic related)
ITT: weird history related obsessions and/or autistic tendencies you have
Old thread that I managed to find:
https://desustorage.org/his/thread/422764/
>>843787
Why did they send him to a psychiatric? It's not like he's going to hurt anyone...
>>844125
He has autism of sorts.
Autistic people can have great, interesting, constructive hobbies and they know them pretty well.
Except most of the time they'll get into collecting spoons or learning 1000001 facts about grates. Which will ultimately turn them into depressed neets, while they could've been somewhat productive(or very productive) members of society with happy families and the like.

Does THE DEMIURGE really not want us to masturbate?
Also he might kill you just to teach someone else a lesson.
Onan (Gen 38:8-10) pls go
also stop looking at porn (Mat 5:28)
t. the Demiurge (John 1:1-5)
>>850641
No, but masturbation will only hinder your spiritual progress if you care about that.
I have approximate knowledge on every historical topic.
>>849717
That's nice
>>849717
History doesn't real, faggot.
>an absolute monarch is benevolent and grants his people many rights and privileges
vs
>in a democracy 60% of people decide the remaining 40% should be beheaded
Which is better?
