How would America be today if they had won Vietnam somehow? No Fall of Saigon but Fall of Hanoi.
Would it be appreciated and respected like WWII and Korea? Or would people still regret going over there because of the protests by hippies. Would the Veterans feel better if they had won? Instead of being robbed of whatever victory they could get?
>Would it be appreciated and respected like WWII and Korea?
Doubtfully as much as WWII, probably on similar lines to Korea (though you couldn't really call Korea a victory considering the country was partitioned).
>Or would people still regret going over there because of the protests by hippies.
Hippies would probably still not approve, but more people would chalk it up as "we saved those Vietnamese from some brutal communist regime."
>Would the Veterans...

Just buy a globe.
Whichever makes Greenland and Antarctica not look like the 1st and 2nd largest continent after Africa respectively.

Religion is an easy setting, anon.
Explore some of the mendicant and and monastic groups in christianity which aim to join a lifestyle of self denial along with authentic love. Many Muslims live lives of stilted legalism; no religion which boasts simply of formal rites and ethics can fill man's deepest needs.

But why?
Every fucking space agency needs to fucking get together and fucking transform into a massive space agency and then we can finally conquer the fucking Galaxy. First we need a world language, preferably English because the scientists need to speak to each other and I speak English and Chinese people are fucking annoying. We exclude every single country in Africa because well it's Africa. South America can also fuck off. Imagine what these space agencies could do if they worked together and not separately. Obviously we would need a massive space elevator first to not use...

Can anyone help me with a question on Leibniz?
I don't really understand the reference to Theodicy on paragraphs 67 - 69 from Monadology.
I have searched several editions and the reference usually appears as something along the lines of (T. preface 40; 44) or yet
(Theod. Pref. [E. 475 b; 477 b; G. vi. 40, 44].), even though the preface only appears to have 37 unnumbered paragraphs.
I imagine it's not a reference to the "Preliminary Dissertation On The Conformity Of Faith With Reason", considering that, when it is the case, the reference...

Which was the best caliphate?
>>1337982
ISIS
>>1337982
Rashidun's acquisitions seem the most impressive, though Ummayad was pretty good too.

Yes. That is why it's fiction.
You are the captain of a sinking cruise ship. You make it to the lifeboat and take charge, as you have the only pistol and the key to the rations chest. The lifeboat holds 10 people, but there are 20 survivors, including yourself. As it was a cruise ship, there is a mixture of young and old, men, women, and children. The nearest island is 5 days away by rowing. You have enough water for 10 days, for 10 people. Its highly unlikely that you will be rescued from the island for a long time. 10 people have to leave the boat. While they can hold onto ropes in the water, if they try...

Also God is the prime mover who set all action into being.
Monks were very important in the Middle Ages, but what do they do nowadays?
>>1337702
They're like church-sponsored NEETs. Truly a blessed existence.
>>1337702
Doing meditation and "self-help" courses for rich white people lost in the world.
No, seriously, all the monasteries in my state I know of are very heavilly in all that crap. Okaaayyy, maybe monks did that stuff all the time in the Middle Ages, too. But it´s always so New Wave-y.
I don´t like the way things went, honestly.

Pray and work.
As an Eastern Orthodox Christian, I don't quite like my before meal prayer. May I use my own?
I just use the Our Father
>>1337764
thats part of it, but i would like to add
"just like the hunger of our bodies, my spirit is hungry for thee, our lord and saviour
>>1337700

Is this worth watching?
Will it make me sperg out over inaccuracies?
I think it's a brilliant show, I've never actually come across someone saying something bad about it. I love James Purefoy in anything but Titus is the real reason to watch.
Spartacus is better for the husbandos of course.
>>1337658
I'm tired of the Spartacus story
