Iran was always 'Iran'. Just these stupid Europeans called them Persia
>>581424
the endonym for Iran IS Iran. Stemming from the word Aryan (not the nazi bullshit Aryan, true Aryans as in a specific tribe of Proto-Indo Europeans). Persia comes from what the Greeks called them, land of the Persians (or Parsa as they would have been called then). You should learn history before posting on /his/, newfriend.

Why were the colonial powers so shit at creating nice, stable borders along ethno-cultural-linguistic, economical and religious lines EDITION.

Who /nationalist-decolonization/ here?

>>581287
In most places creating neat little nation states is impossible, as ethnic boundaries are not clear lines. There's usually a border zone where villages of two or more different ethnicities/cultures can be found. There'd always be people on the 'wrong' side of the line.
That said, there's plenty of nations with a plurality of ethnic/cultural groups who haven't failed - borders aren't nearly as much of a determining factor in stability as you might think.
Can someone tell me what are the club designs next to morningstar? And holy shit all of them look painful I would be more scared of them than swords.
the source book lists them simply as "czech morgensterns", czech being their origin, not a particular type

According to Perkins, he began writing Confessions of an Economic Hit Man in the 1980s, but "threats or bribes always convinced [him] to stop."

He also passed it off as truth for years before he revealed it to be fiction.
So fuck your shitty book and fuck your entire, parasitic hippy existance, you miserable, motherless fuck.

Why the need for insults?
>>581223
He never claimed it was all fake, the book is semi-autobiographical, of course things were played up for dramatic tension and such.
Honestly his claims are pretty on the money for what actually did historically happen.
Idealists, say something nice about Materialism.
Materialists, say something nice about Idealism.
Idealism is true in the sense that we do only interact with mental objects in the sense that "I" thr ego is contained within the whole of the mind and informed by perceptions,which is nontrivial and interesting. But materialism simply has the causitive and explanatory power that idealism lacksh
Materialism is a good way to understand concrete principles of how the world works, but it lacks the idealism that needs to be present in a human being in order for them to be happy i.e. Being an idealist tickles youre brain in a certain way that it was meant to be tickled, on a very primal instinctual level

Thank goodness I'm neither of youse and use historical materialist praxes.

Why do the Vulgate and the Septuagint have "your breasts are better than wine" in Song of Songs 1:2, while Hebrew manuscripts and modern translations have "your love is better than wine"?
>>581122
Because the divine inspiration loves titties.
>>581122
Because you stuck your fist in my arsehole and my womb was opened for you.
Song of Songs is 100% anal hardcore.

Is Islam responsible for "Islamic terrorism" or are those terrorists just people with political grievances that happen to be Muslim?
>Note to mods, this thread is on-topic. It is about religion, and "Islamic terrorism" on western soil has been occurring since at least a century ago, to say nothing of on non-western soil.
About as responsible as Christianity is for catholic pedophiles, or shinto for the war crimes of japanese soldiers in world war 2.
>>580861
i don't think catholic priests are a good example since pedophilia is probably a natural inclination
but anyway, what your saying is that a bunch of murderers who gunned down some cartoonists that made fun of their beliefs weren't motivated by religion and that their actions are comparable to the actions of professional soldiers in a time of war
i'm not convinced
>>580893
M8 look at Buddhists in Sri Lanka and Burma
Look at Hindus killing people they suspect of having beef in their fridge
Look at the various Marxist terror groups
Look at what Mexican drug cartels do to innocents just to show the govt to leave them alone - hint Mexicans are almost all Catholics

Just what the fuck would've happened if England won the War of the Roses?
>>580793
...but England did win the War of the Roses. It had to: all the participants were English nobles of one description or another.
>>580793
You mean the 100 years war.
Well England would have ceased to Exist as France would have become the primary title, then at some point in the future France would probably lose a war in which the peace stipulations required the establishment of some random English pretender to a restored independent England. So ultimately it would probably just wind up with England being less powerful.
I keep seeing people mistake the 100 Years War and the War of the Roses. Is it just one retard?
Just finished reading pic related and he makes passing mention of the Marine's fear of merging with the Army;
>Our training picked up in intensity, and rumors began to fly regarding the next “blitz” (a term commonly used for a campaign). We heard that the 1st Marine Division was to be put into an army to invade the China coast or Formosa (Taiwan). Many of my buddies feared that we would lose our identity as Marines and that the Marine Corps would finally be absorbed into the U.S. Army (a fate that has caused anxiety to U.S. Marines of many...

One is trained as a main bulk ground force, the other as a rapid deploying amphibious expeiditionary force under the department of the Navy.
The President can deploy Marines anywhere in the world without congressional approval, just as he can fleets.

>One is trained as a main bulk ground force, the other as a rapid deploying amphibious expeiditionary force under the department of the Navy.
The problem is that modern USAF protocol makes them literally redundant. And in addition, every war since '45 (with the exception of both Iraq wars) have either been supplementary wars (Korea) or anti-guerilla warfare (every war since Korea) which renders the Marines relatively useless.
