>Rejects alliance from Germany in favor of maintaining one with France and Britain
>Only for Poland to be invaded by Germany and the USSR while the allies do nothing, and not even getting its independence back when the war is finally won
Is there any bigger diplomatic fuck up in history?
>>292630
France had always saved Poland (1807, 1918) while Germany always annexed it (1795, 1815).
Also, trusting Germany was dumb as proven by Hitler betraying the USSR
>>292630
Yes, allying Germany and get fucked anyway.
is this the most influential man of the 20th century to bless the humanities and rhetoric on the human condition?
What is hey trying to convey with his trenchcoat collar popped, and the cigarette?
History will remember Peter, not Chris
>>293396
Bullshit, Christopher has proven far more popular and influential than his brother. Not that Peter is an idiot or anything.
Is it morally wrong for an adult to chat on the internet with a minor (a person under the age of consent) about sex and/or sexual fantasies?
>>292418
>God created sex
stopped reading there
>>292407
It certainly is illegal in many countries and thus generally a bad idea.
>>292488
I did not ask if it was legal or a good idea.
Lets try to determine if it is immoral or not to do this.
>>292418
Prefferably, I'd like to see non-religous moral arguments. Pointing at religous laws or texts is an easy way out of making a philosophical argument.

I'm confused. So who's the young girl with the peony lantern and what role does she play in this whole scenario?
What's the significance of it being 'Obon'?
>>292426
Obon is a Japanese Buddhist custom to honor the spirits of one's ancestors.
As for the girl with the lantern, it's not made clear.

What is everyones opinion on determinism?
I've been thinking a lot lately and I just can't see how free will could exist.
Humans are just chemical processes, and chemical processes have to follow the laws of physics. All human interaction is just a series of cause and effect.
Also consciousness defies logical explanation for how can neurochemistry produce self awareness?
Determinism is ultimately a product of our understanding of causality. There are problems with our current understanding of causality, Hume showed it and so did the Buddhists like Nagarjuana.
Still that won't prove the existence of some soul/external agent entity that has power to defy the universal laws.
>>292259
>Determinism states that people cannot choose their actions and are determined to act in whatever way they do
>Free Will states that people choose their actions and will freely act in whatever way they do
>In either case people do what they do
The will dichotomy is literally nonsense.

Who /Kantianism/ here?
Utilitarians need not apply.

Thanks for "Art" bruh, but Imma go look at some Kitsch now.
That ain't even a lie.

Was any chance for a lasting peace killed with him?
I know it's only been 20 years, but his assassination had a profound effect on the conflict in the Near East
Btw, is this film any good?

>>292131
Wasn't he the Isreali diplomat that tried to create peace but was killed by some Israeli radical? That was some bullshit that I will never understand. Is he remembered well in Israel? I heard he was actually hated, and the guy that killed him got married for his troubles.
>>292186
So you are saying saying there will only be a perpetual war and trying to negotiate is meaningless?
Is a sin strictly an action, or can it be a thought?
>>292112
It can be a thought, it can be the state of living, it can be emotion, it can be action.
Imagination is a sin for example.
>>292112
But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
- Matthew 5:28
>>292112
Sin is a rebellion against God
it's a way of living, not a single action or thought

Let's talk about women in ancient and medieval warfare
How common was it? Surprisingly more, less, or not at all?
How many women were famous in combat not just because "hur dur epic chick with sword" but women that actually had a historical impact
>pic related, Ubisoft's "For Honor" has female characters
>How common was it?
Probably happened at some points since there were no regular armies and professionnal soldiers during most of the medieval times (aside from the nobility, which wasn't profesionnal) and the population would go fight at the cll of the local noble. They probably didn't check what was in the pants of the volunteers as long as they were ready to go wave a sword.

So basically there's a good chance women joined in the more fodder like sections of the army, but more controlled sections was a for sure no?
>>291863
Pretty much. As lng as the feudal and chivalry systems were used to structure the military, there is little to no way for a woman to get to a position of military importance.
The Roman Empire ended in 1453
Deal with it
>>291601
The Roman Empire didn't end until 1806 you idiot.
The Roman Empire never ended.

I like to think about it as passing the torch. Firat Romr, then russia, then Usa
why didn't they just pretend not to be jewish?
e.g.
>"Entschuldigung sie sind jewish?"
>"No sir, I am German like you"
>>291306
Kind of hard to un-circumcise yourself.
>>291306
Probably because the nazis checked all your relatives and shit, which let them determine if you were jewish or not
>>291306
Germans and Dutch (like modern day Americans) recorded religion in the civil registry.
So has the USA ever had an empire?
Define 'empire', rigorously please.
>>291236
If by empire you mean having 50 contiguous states including some larger than the largest European empires than yes we did and still do
>>291320
*48 contiguous states sorry
Did the Chinese ever establish any colonies? What were they like?
>>291211
How are you defining a "Colony"?
I mean, for instance, a lot of what's now Southest China, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong provinces, had waves of Han settlers coming in in the 3rd-6th centuries, and either eliminating or displacing the natives.
Does that count as colonization, or is that an extension of "China"?
Not really unless you count the first Han settlers in Taiwan
Slavoj Zizek smells like cheese
*sniff*
He looks so untidy and snelly

He will die. Alone. Unloved. A political and social failure. I, for one, will not miss him.
