Why isn't life/universe perfect?
Why do we experience the imperfect universe, the imperfect life? Why not a perfect life?
Because we're a jumbled mass of atoms and chemical reactions trying to live in a universe full of things that could kill everything on our planet with the cosmic equivalent of a fart.

no idea, but you better post prophecies. This one from the 1600s
The Fifth Church Age started in 1520 and will end in 2038
"The fifth (Church age) period is one of affliction, desolation, humiliation and poverty for the (Catholic) Church. Jesus Christ will purify His people through cruel wars, famines, plagues, epidemics, and other horrible calamities. He will also afflict the Latin Church with many heresies. It is a period of defections, calamities, and exterminations. Those Christians who survive...

The Sixth Church Age will start in 2038; ending in about 345 years
Of the sixth Church age: "The Powerful Monarch, who will be sent by God, will uproot every republic. He will submit everything to his authority, and he will show great zeal for the true Church of Christ. The empire of the Mohammedans will be broken up, and this Monarch will reign in the East as well as in the West. All nations will come to worship God in the true Catholic and Roman faith. There will be many Saints and Doctors of the Church on...

Europe owes its success to the ancient Greeks and Romans. The Rennaissance would not happened without the intellectual and architectural foundations left by these two civilizations. They would still be in a much worse dark ages were it not for the Greeks and Romans. Christianity is inherently anti-intellectual ism and set technological progress 1000 years back. Mars would have been colonized by now had the Roman Empire had not perished to these barbarians.

What if there was a true technocracy that developed in Europe similar to Belka in Strangereal? They would need a current day population of at least 100 million to have an effective space industry though.
How was shit like this ever considered acceptable by even a minority of people in the 20th century? Who looked at that and said it was "okay?" I can understand wanting a "subhuman" punished for a crime, even beaten severely. But this? What was going on in the minds (or culture) of some groups to where they didn't vomit at the mere thought of doing something this extreme. This is 13th century Mongol tier shit. I know /pol/ talks a mean game, but I have a hard time thinking that even they would actually go through with something like this to the full extent, if given the opportunity.
>but I have a hard time thinking that even they would actually go through with something like this to the full extent, if given the opportunity.
I'll bet you they gladly would.
OP here. Just to clarify mine is a confusion on the mindset of the people at this time and not the human capacity for violence or cruelty. I am under the impression that this was in Era in which these people unapologetically considered themselves not only the masterace, but the peak of human achievement. Ideologies like the White Man's Burden would have been prevalent, so my confusion stems from how some people could be proponents of such a thought process while at the same time finding no fault in acts of barbarism of this magnitude. You'd think they'd consider...

You just have to look at hollywood, they are basically the biggest incidentally bisexual community out there:
http://web.archive.org/web/20050819063131/http://www.geocities.com/mnussitch/gossip.html
So how come people are doubting me when I mention how Ceasar was a bisexual for example? Or how Hephaestion was the lover of Alexander the Great and best friend from his childhood?
I mean do they somehow think it's an insult or demeaning and for various reasons see these figures as more myth than actual real persons?

Satisfying your sexual pleasures by using another man isn't necessarily gay (still degenerate though).
>>815256
Homosexuality and bisexuality didn't exist as identities in the ancient world. No-one considered themselves 'heterosexual' either.
Why did USA entered WWI ?
>>815157
because the germans were being obnoxious pricks.
Krauts wouldn't stop killing American sailors, krauts tried getting spics to invade us (lel), krauts wouldn't buy our shit, in that order
Jews forced the Japanese navy to attack the civilian liner Lusitania, thus propelling America to seal Germany's fate to set the stage for the second war in which the Jew was finally able to achieve the genocide that would allow them to fully control the West.

Is absence of evidence, evidence of absence?
No.

what do you like or dislike about hamilton?
general discussion
>inb4 dislike niggers hiphop etc
Interesting concept, good music. Not sure how historically accurate it is.
>>814659
its mostly historically accurate.
Alex and Eliza actually had 8 children. And the three men who first confronted hamilton about the sex scandal were not Jefferson, Burr, and Madison.
God is what we call the infinite imaterial order of the immutable eternity, the necessary being and the only source of reality, totally present for everything, without being limited by anything. Therefore, He is the source of all power, knowledge and life.
Can you disagree with it?
>>814517
No because christian idiots refuse to call their deity by its actual name instead of god so everytime you say God those morons think you mean their sky jew.
God is my wiener for all life emanates from it.
Nope. Sounds right to me.
What would Spain be like today had the Communist/Anarchist/Republican side won the Spanish Civil War?
What would China be like today had the Nationalists won the Chinese Civil War?
>>814406
Franco industrialize Cataluña and fomented Spanish nationalism
The ones who want Independence are leftist paid by Jews
I would imagine it would had ended like the USSR, there would be no Spain, instead there would be Cataluña, Vasconia, Galicia and Castilla
>What would Spain be like today had the Communist/Anarchist/Republican side won the Spanish Civil War?
Poor as Romania.
>What would China be like today had the Nationalists won the Chinese Civil War?
Rich as Taiwan.
>>814406
I don't really know much about Spain, but for China:
The KMT never really managed to develop a solid base of support even when they were on top in the early to mid 30s, they were more this semi-feudal conglomeration of warlords than a modern state. Chiang himself only directly controlled a corridor that ran roughly from Chungking to Shanghai, all of the rest were adminsitered by various warlords who would offer support to the central KMT, but often in a time, place, or manner of their choosing.
With that unstable of a grip on power, you'll probably see widespread repression and revolt, and if the Communists are knocked out, you still have a bunch of regionalist and other competing "nationalist" elements who would like to see the KMT go down.
You'd probably have intermittant civil war until someone either replaces the KMT or they get their act together, but I'm not entirely sure why they were never able to really assert power in the first place, so I'm not sure what they'd need to do to fix things.
Hi /his/
since int would not help me i thought about posting here and see if i can get some answers
i am looking for some Danish people to answer me if the "Jewerly" law that passed says anything about the refuges getting a refund of their confiscated valuables...i have the laws but i dont know danish and i can never trust a googlish translate in matters of law cause every word matters

Dane here.
As I understand it, if someone seeks asylum in Denmark has a large capital, be it money, non-affectional jewelry or other valuables the state can confiscate them to help pay for the asylum seeker's residence. These exact same rules apply to any Dane who wants to recieve aid from the government as far as I know.
>>814250
i know that but my questions is if there is mentioned anything about a refund to the refugees in any case
and thanks for the time you took to reply
