So I had a history exam today and one of the questions was:
Which one of these is not Greek?
a) Athens
b) Democracy
c) Alexander the Great
d) Sparta
What does /his/ think of this question?
>>903462
Alex most likely.
Makedon was considered Barbaroi by Greeks
But Alex had a Greek Mum tho.
>>903462
Do you live in FYROM?
>>903463
"Barbaroi" also means "people I don't like" to Ancient Greeks. For example, the Spartans called the Athenians that during the Peloponnisian War
What can you tell me about this ring, historically?
>>901310
its the cock ring I wore when i fucked your mom. i guess it fell off after i came inside her and came out when she gave birth to you
>>901345
You must have a small cock, it's about size 5 1/2
>>901310
Must be a ring that was sold to German soldiers if they acquired an iron cross.

Beautiful historical uniforms thread.
Pic related- a British military musicians coatee.

I like elegant uniforms. I've seen some uniforms that can be camo and look okay, but there's something about older uniforms. I guess I just don't like green.
Looks like a poorly researched reproduction. Seems to be trying to be a Napoleonic era jacket but with a later Crimean cut and collar.
Can we talk about Charlemagne?
I would love some book recommendations, in German or English if you know any good ones.
>mfw Saxons near me
>Holy
>Roman
>Empire
But yeah, Charlegmane does seem like a pretty cool guy, would also really like to have a good biography recommendation.

Pretty based guy, one of the greatest black men who ever lived.

If two man dies without faith, one after murdering several people and one after spending his life helping others, do they both go to hell according to Christianity?
And if they both go to hell, do they go to the same hell?
If anyone got anything about the Islamic view on it I am all ears.

>If two man dies without faith, one after murdering several people and one after spending his life helping others, do they both go to hell according to Christianity?
Because maybe it isn't so much about a old man in the sky passing judgement on you personally, maybe it's a fact that both souls go to the same place by virtue of some sort of natural law.
Maybe, while their "crimes" are completely different, they both result in the same ending. In the case of the murderer the stain of taking lives tends make entry to bliss impossible while for the atheist entering a place you believe doesn't exist is equally impossible. The result is being as far away from that "heaven" as can be, i.e. hell.

This new Pope supposedly caused a petty big uproar because he claimed that you just have to be decent human bean to avoid damnation.
I am debating with a friend of mine about Religion Vs. Science (yawn).
She asserts that because Science can be empirically measured, objectively observed, that it is infallible and true. Religion is subjective and, as she puts it, "non-objectively-observable", and separated from the measurements of physicality.
My friend argues that the philosophy, likewise, deals with the "ephemeral" qualities under mysticism, spirituality, and qualitative writings - as opposed to the quantitative and tangible playthings of science.
How may I better equip my side of the debate? I try and reason with her that Religion has been proven to be very helpful for a lot of people, especially families. Her arguments against it are immature (citing an "undead sky-zombie" or "because the Bible doesn't explicitly state 'do not rape kids', priests may subconsciously accept this as an ommission of law").
It's an exhaustive debate that has lasted weeks now and while I love debating her, I try hard to use reason, logic, and evidence on my side. The only problem is that she only accepts quantitative data manifesting in physically tangible evidence. She discounts the realm of philosophy as wank and superfluous when science offers the truth of existence.
It has never been "religion vs science".
This is a myth perpetuated by atheists.
It has always been a religious conflict.
Darwinism is a satanic cult that seeks to depose God. The conflict is religious in nature and this is what the Freemasons/occult societies know.

Don't bother
tell me about Haile Selassie, the king of Rastafarianism.
He was Coptic Orthodox
>>892844
Ethiopian Orthodox is way too distinct in its own rite to be labeled as Coptic. Not to mention the Ethiopian church was granted autocephaly during his reign.

Has a proper response to this ever been formulated?

Only a bunch of arguments by necessity which really don't address how creation by an infinity complex creator solves the problem of complexity
>>884975
>problem of complexity
What's that?
>structuralism
>post-structuralism
What's the deal with people's sudden obsession with this? In the last two years I keep seeing it all the time on 4chan. And I heard it in real life a few times too, used by "hipsters" (it's a meaningless buzzword, but I don't know what to call them) and nerdy suburban white teenagers. Seems like ever since this Derrida guy got more popular and acknowledged, all the kids have been talking about this and name-dropping this "le epic structuralism" and "post-structuralism". Is (post-)structuralism an epic new meme?
Why do people keep using this so much? Is it to show that they know a new word or something? To seem cultured? Can someone explain this to me? And what exactly are these terms? Why are they being mentioned so often? And is it somehow related to "deconstruction" (and what is that?, I read that no one knows, not even the guy who coined the term)? And what do people usually refer to when they mention structuralism or post-structuralism? What areas/activities or studies? Is it related to philosophy? Is it a movement in philosophy? Is it related to arts? Literature? Sociology? Psychology? What is it? Is it somehow related to modernism and metamodernism?
What books should I read to learn more about it?
Am I first supposed to start with the Greeks, all le ancient philosophers, then all the relevant philosophers in the last 1000 years, you know, Kant, Heidegger Foucault, Saussure, Descartes, Locke, Marx, Hegel, Sartre and everyone else? If that's the case then forget about it. But I doubt any of you actually read works from all of them and are still capable of understanding (post-)structuralism.
currently doing an essay on poststructural feminism and rape in the united states military

Thuy Johnston (a name that (like Phuc Stevenson (named (by me, not his parents (government attorneys (I know what you(Katrina?)’re thinking, how did lawyers raise a postman and under what kind of class system does this novel operate?))) after the 2011 NBA champion Deshawn Stevenson)) implies (to assumption-prone readers) that Mrs. Johnston was pro-trad enough to take her husband’s (we’re being implicitly socially conservative (by not acknowledging the likelihood that she’s gay (or adopted or a pop star with a stage name)) for the sake of space (yes le parentheses man is economical as fuck with space)) last name but still asserted enough cultural dominance to give her child a decidedly ethnic (to Americans (UT didn’t stand for U of Tel Aviv or what have you)) first name. Marv “Yellow Fever” Johnston’s dainty Asian bride has the cultural steering wheel (or maybe they’re sticks for her (that’s too absurd to be earnestly racist (also I’m Asian (half (I mean Obama can make black jokes (is that the same thing?

Structuralism and post-structuralism are opposites. Structuralism tends to be obsessed with tradition and duality while Post-structuralism seeks to deconstruct everything.
For instance, structuralists will say the male/female conflict is an important theme of human society, while a post-structuralist will say gender doesn't exist.
I recently (a few months ago) read Albion's Seed by David Hackett Fischer. In it he talks about the settlement of what became the U.S., broken into four regions: New England, the Midlands (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware), Tidewater (Virginia, Maryland, and the Carolinas), and Appalachia. He talks about what sort of people generally settled there from the British Isles, and how all four regions can trace their cultural lineage to a region of Britain.
New England was settled primarily by Puritans from Anglia/Eastern England, Appalachia by northern English and Lowland Scots (who also made up most of the people who went from Britain to Ulster, and then from there to America too), the Midlands by Quakers and merchants (a lot of Dutch there too, but he was focused on Britons mostly) from central England, and Tidewater by the very rich and the very poor of southwest England, coming to establish plantations or work as indentured servants, respectively.
I was wondering what sort of Britons settled in Canada? Was there a real "type" of people who came? I would guess merchants maybe, because of the resources and it doesn't seem like the type of place you could make vast plantation estates in like the South. You don't really hear much about any sort of Puritan heritage in Canada either like in New England, but then I don't know much about Canadian culture or history so maybe there is. Did you not get many people from Britain until after the Seven Years War?
Not many people came here until after the Seven Years War. Before then it was mostly French.
We've got mostly descendants of Highland Scots and Northern English in the Maritime Provinces while United Empire Loyalists settled in Ontario and New Brunswick after 1812. Not sure about Newfoundland but they were a British colony until 1949 so I'd assume they're all descended from more recent English and Irish immigration.

Interesting, so did all of your French people outside Quebec get deported to Louisiana? I also heard of a few Acadians going to New England too. But like was the whole population almost transplanted? And why did Quebec stay French?
>>903051
No there are lots of French people in other provinces. Basically Quebec is the epicentre and the fewer it gets the further away from it you go, with BC and the territories being the least amount of francophones and the maritimes/parts of Ontario being the most.
