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.

Was there ever any fighters that were such a pure strenght badass motherfuckers as knights?
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.
>>1176199
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 a narcissistic society.
> It would appear that narcissism is alive and spreading in the 21st century. All one need do is look at someones Facebook page to see the multitude of pictures of the self strewn in the albums, and the focus on the life of the self from the ridiculous to the sublime. It is not enough that we think of the effects of something from our own gain or loss, but now we focus on the minutiae of our bodily functions twittering them to all those willing to read those 140 or less updates. There are several articles that examine the idea that because they were often told they were "special" and could "do anything they wanted to do" many of our twenty and thirty something offspring believe they are in fact "entitled" to any and all things by virtue of being alive. This undermines the point mom and dad were trying to make. Told they had limitations during their youth, mom and dad wanted to be sure their offspring knew they had lots of choices in life, but there was nothing in the pep talk that told them to be egotistically self centred in the process!

> 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 perceived as negative can help us to grow? Each term I start a new class I make sure to tell my students they are there to teach me too, and I am open to learn and grow from each of them. The relationship is based on equality, more than an insufferable sense of superiority. I may have studied longer than they, and have loved longer than them, but what makes me wiser? The only thing that makes me wise is knowing I know nothing, and can continue to learn from each new day.
> Socrates was considered a dissident in Greece in his time. He was condemned as a heretic for that which he taught his students and sentenced to die by ingesting hemlock. It was the answer that the Oracle at Delphi gave when asked who was the wisest man in Athens at the time. The Oracle replied it was Socrates, although he believed this to be a paradox. Those in Athens who believed themselves to be wise were actually not wise, but Socrates who knew he was not wise was the wisest of all for his admission of his ignorance.
>>1176085
> 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 reminds them that the material concerns of life should be balanced with concern for ones soul.And it is this soul that is sorely missing from the way people interact in society today as well.
> There is nothing wrong with ego if it is in balance with all other areas of ones life. It is when the ego overtakes our lives completely that we can become arrogant, judgmental and self centered. As in all things we must seek to balance our lives with beauty, humbleness and generosity, compassion and love for our fellow man, and remember that there is much to learn, and even if we lived another 200 years, there is no way we could learn it all.

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?

>tfw 6 years ago in highschool told my Advanced Placement European history teacher I wanted to make history my major in college.
>tfw he said nigga don't do that shit you'll starve to death theres no jobs in history.
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).

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.

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.

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 them.
And then look at dedicated wars of conquest. Somalia in 1978 invaded Ethiopia with the intention of taking and annexing the Somali-majority region of Ogaden. The Soviets not only withdrew support for Somalia, but completely flipped sides, executed the largest strategic airlift effort in Soviet history, and supported Ethiopia as they completely slapped Somalia's shit.
Iraq was even worse. Saddam invades Kuwait and fully annexes the country, and then six months later the entire country is wrecked and the Iraqi army is annihilated.
Annexation is no longer tolerated by the international community, especially in cases where the people living in the occupied area are a distinctly different population than the occupying power.

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 war on something before which it would have been more fitting for them to have grovelled in the dust—a civilization beside which even that of our nineteenth century seems very poor and very “senile.”—What they wanted, of course, was booty: the orient was rich…. Let us put aside our prejudices! The crusades were a higher form of piracy, nothing more! The German nobility, which is fundamentally a Viking nobility, was in its element there: the church knew only too well how the German nobility was to be won…. The German noble, always the “Swiss guard” of the church, always in the service of every bad instinct of the church—but well paid…. Consider the fact that it is precisely the aid of German swords and German blood and valour that has enabled the church to carry through its war to the death upon everything noble on earth! At this point a host of painful questions suggest themselves. The German nobility stands outside the history of the higher civilization: the reason is obvious…. Christianity, alcohol—the two great means of corruption.
