Standing as europes shield against islamic invasions for close to 800 years was probably one of the main indirect influences on the rise of western europe. Show some respect you heathen cuck.

The last thing those people needed was to be given money
Also, weirdly, for such an important figure you don't hear much about him
Benito Juarez.
Miguel Hidalgo.
Venustiano Carranza.
Leona Vicario.
Josefa OrtÃz.
José MarÃa Morelos Y Pavón.
Why do conservatives love him?
Why do liberals hate him?
What were his domestic and foreign policies?
Literally know nothing other than

Seriously, I was raised in a conservative household with parents who love Reagan, but I always here libs bashing him. What's the truth, /his/?
Just debt my shit up

Did Mark's Gospel affirm Jesus's divinity?
>>1055530
Yes although not as explicitly as John. Mark shows Jesus doing things that only God can do such as forgiving sins (Mk 2:5), commanding the natural world (Mk 4:39) and rising from the dead (Mk 16:6-8). Mark also includes Jesus affirming that he is indeed the messiah who will be seated at the right hand of the Father (Mk 14:60-62).
All of these actions can only be understood and believed if Jesus is indeed God incarnate.
>>1055530
The last 12 verses are not original, it's added waaaaay later.
>>1055530
Mark's Gospel doesn't even make sense. It doesn't "affirm" anything, except that a Greco-Roman guy wrote about Jesus some decades after all the events supposedly happened.
I mean for God's sake, his second verse is a misquote of older scripture, and it pretty much sets the tone for how accurate he is about Judean laws, customs, geography, important personages, etc. are.
It's like asking if Romance of the Three Kingdoms affirms Guan Yu's divinity.

Why was this allowed to happen? Did public/mass transit deserve to die because the free market fixed it or did the auto corporations murder an otherwise healthy system?
Also, corporate conspiracies general, I guess.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_streetcar_conspiracy
The real issue is that Americans think using tax-dollars to fund public transit is deadly socialism, and with a few exceptions, most major U.S. cities lacked the necessary legal power to fund and operate rail service until the oil crises of the 1970s made people reevaluate it.
Many electric railways died off without ever having been purchased by GM or National City Lines. That's not to say the auto industry and their lobbyists are innocent, but the issue is more complicated than what "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" would have you believe.
>>1037064
>Why was this allowed to happen?
Because rich people did it with money.
>>1038375
sure the monopoly interests of GM, Ford etc and their marketing propaganda of GM and Ford would say that cars were popular... popular in media and advertisements, yes.
the majority of the population could not afford cars.
>In the early 1900s, General Motors' long-time president, Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., began implementing a plan to expand auto sales and maximize profits by eliminating streetcars.
>In 1922, Sloan established a special unit within GM that was charged with, among other things, the task of replacing the United States' electric railways with cars, trucks, and buses. Consumers who no longer had the option of taking the streetcar turned first to the bus lines and, eventually, to owning and driving their own automobiles.
no public transport because car companies bribed government officials in the 40s and 50s to plan cities without public transport.
public transport was sabotaged to steer the flock towards car/oil

The Holocaust was not the systematic extermination of 6,000,000 Jews.
The Holocaust was the systematic extermination of 11,000,000 people, of which 6m were Jews.
Don't you mean 5.1-5.6 million?
It depends on who you count as a victim.
For example, if a German officer gets killed, and the Wehrmacht kills 100 civilians as a collective punishment, that's certainly an unlawful killing, but it wasn't racially motivated, and it wasn't in any kind of coordinated system.
>>1057842
I mean the extermination in the concentration camps.

FRANKLIN DINDU NUFFIN HE WAS A GOOD HE WAS A GOOD BOY
Fucking please, sure he did some good things but he also royally fucked up at times as well. The only reason he is revered is because he led us through the depression (and did a marginal job at that) and into one of the largest wars we have ever seen.
Besides he was a shadow compared to his brother.
