Watch me go for a drive with my people in Tripoli! NATO should be ashamed for supporting the terrorists in overthrowing our glorious nation.
Evidence of my hero status in the capital of Tripoli, shortly before my brutal murder by NATO (Nazi Alliance Total Obfuscation):

Agree, Muhammad. They should've bombed your terrorist sand niggers with nuclear bomb instead of overthrew Gaddafi.

I doubt a horse can charge at 50kph with a heavily armed knight on its back from the moment it's just a dot to the peasant, until the contact.

they were charging for over 2km to reach full speed on impact
So who was more BA, the Wehrmacht, or Soviet Army? I remember hearing stories of soviets signing up for airbourne missions with no jump experience. Then they would hang onto a plane's wing and then let go. When they landed the axis would get btfo.
So who wins the bad ass award?

> When Plato sat down and wrote of the wise teacher Socrates in his work "The Apology" this statement, in which Socrates was purported to have said is one of the gems that have withstood time and place.
> To know we know nothing is to remain humble and heart centred, not ego driven. Since it appears that most issues in society are centered on having power, retaining power, empowering oneself or others, or dis empowering another for perceived one-up-manship, this wonderfully inspired sentiment gets lots on...

> Knowledge is something we hope to acquire over a lifetime, and by both knowledge and experience we come to the real goal: to attain wisdom. But wisdom and knowledge are fluid. No one, even someone as brilliant as Socrates stops learning, growing and assimilating information. When we come to think ourselves better than another, smarter, or ingrained in a solid belief system, we limit the lives we live. For what is better than knowing each person and new experience, even those that are seemingly...

> Not wanting to change who he was, Socrates remained true to his beliefs and willingly drank the hemlock that killed him at the end. His death makes him a martyr for his beliefs and opens the door for his student, Plato to write of his thoughts and philosophical discussions that were compilations of possible discussions in his lifetime. When he was on trial for corrupting the minds of the youth of Athens, he used his insights to demonstrate to the jurors that their moral values are not aligned....

He was sent by Apollo to serve as a gadfly to the state and rid Athens of democratic corruption. The demagogues thought they had won, but their victory was short-lived. Democracy only appeared again in the degenerate modern age, and so help God it will disappear again.
How is national history being taught in Japanese schools curriculum? I'm interested particularly in how 19th century onward is being taught.

What are the pros and cons of Democracy?
Should Democracy be permitted if a leading candidate for leader declared he would drop and Atom Bomb on it's enemy? Even if the overwhelming majority of the citizens agreed with it? Even if it meant a nuclear holocaust would arise?

What the alternative?

One of the pros of democracy is that it brought us those udders, one con is we haven't seen em properly yet
>tfw 6 years ago in highschool told my Advanced Placement European history teacher I wanted to make history my major in college.

He's right, but also it depends what you want out of life. Sure, you'll never get to live the patrician lifestyle, but if you work hard and smart you can live a comfy history life (be it as an archeologist, historian, whatever).

He knew me better than I knew me at the time. I thought back in those days I could live a comfy life without luxury, but i cant describe the euphoria I feel every time I buy Ralph Lauren sweat pants and shirts and pay $300 to get my dick sucked at the strip club.

Hahaha, you pay for sex and consider it a mark of honor? Any fucking schmuck can throw money around for a blowjob, and on top of that you think Ralph Lauren is the height of fashion? You really must be a spic, Indian or Nigger
People like Napoleon spent almost all day studying and learning new information. Was it just because there was less distractions back then?
>>1175670
Most people fucked around. The famous people are famous because they didn't.

>That existential crisis right at the end.
>>1175670
Yep, nowadays Napoleon would most likely be a typical btard. Dwarf, ugly, his wife cucked him all the time also he slept only 5 hours a day and there was no internet back then so he had time focused on his studies.

Absolutely nothing.
But I had a question though: Why couldn't Israel just completely annex the territories occupied after invaded by neighboring Arab countries? That used to happen all the time, if you attack another nation and lose, the occupied lands are ceded. Has there been some international convention prohibiting this since the formation of Israel?
>>1175036
Ever since WW2 annexing conquered land has been looked down upon, to put it lightly.
Apart from the border shifts immediately following the end of the war, the closest thing there's been to a full-on annexation in the postwar period has been the establishment of puppet states.
Take the big bad Soviets, for example. For all the shit they got for literally holding half of Europe hostage for half a century, they *only* went as far as creating puppet states in Eastern Europe rather than completely annexing...

Well, the Crimea thing's kinda died down now.
>Christianity destroyed for us the whole harvest of ancient civilization, and later it also destroyed for us the whole harvest of Mohammedan civilization. The wonderful culture of the Moors in Spain, which was fundamentally nearer to us and appealed more to our senses and tastes than that of Rome and Greece, was trampled down (—I do not say by what sort of feet—) Why? Because it had to thank noble and manly instincts for its origin—because it said yes to life, even to the rare and refined luxuriousness of Moorish life!… The crusaders later made...
