Who is the greatest statesman of all time in your opinion... Mine would be Trajan or Augustus
>>1377347
Bump

>Mine would be Trajan or Augustus
Why? Just because you saw a History Channel ® documentary about le ebin roman empire at its fullest extent under trajan? Or le ebin pax augustus? Well lemme tell you something, kid, thats a load of pop history bullshit memery that means nothing. The best roman emperors are ones you've probably never heard of. I'm not even going to tell you. You're gonna have to go out and actually READ the history for yourself to find out. Good luck
>>1377420
I know roman history extremely well(Majorian is my favorite emperor)..Trajan and Augustus are the most politically successfull saying they aren't is absurd

Suck my dick, schismatic. If you were the one true Church then it would be YOU that baptized the Asians and the South Americans and the Africans. We're the ones that fulfilled the Great Commission while you fagged around in Russia.

That's a triggered Catholic
I forgot to put in the trigger warning
My apologies
Catholics are the cucks of Christianity. The Orthodox Patriarchs are fighting against the degeneracy of humanity while the pope is washing refugees' feet. What a joke.

The point of tautologies.
Why didn't America nationalize its rail system like the rest of the world? Conrail and Amtrak are the closest the US ever got (aside from the US Railway Administration during WWI), but even those were limited attempts at propping up certain segments and routes of the nation's rail system. And on a similar topic, why no massive electrified rail systems like they have elsewhere?
because it's a commercial freight system
>>1377178
Railroads are public services/utilities like highways and canals and should be regulated as such.
>>1377186
but it's cheaper and faster to just drive or fly, why spend trillions upgrading the rail network in a country larger than almost every other country when different infrastructure that provides the same service is already in place.
Why did Hitler rebuild synagogues? I thought he was le antisemitic?

Has there ever been a foricibly peaceful dictatorship?
Dictatorships and democracies are alike in that leaders create foreign enemies and wars to garner support for themselves.
Has there ever been a dictatorship that didn't engage in warmongering/hatemongering while still ruling with an iron fist?
>>1376920
Many. This is my favorite.
Not exactly 'peaceful'. But is a great dictator.
Tito
>>1376920
Vargas.
So yeah... Which philosophy do you want your automated car to adhere to?

Pic related comes up to you and says DISREGARD THAT, IT'S THE CURRENT YEAR
How does this make you feel? Serious answers only please. I'm not sure what I feel about the 140-character generation.
It pisses me off, it's basically a new religion.
Some people have some rational such as "We need to bring religion into the 21st Century."
I would see that as a crummy way of saying "We believe in Human Rights over religious privilege."
But by saying you can do anything because it's current year is asinine.
If Trump loses and they're is no rebellion, I'll convert to Islam and start a Caucasoid/Mongoloid supremacist organization.
BECAUSE IT'S CURRENT YEAR!
Muhammad called niggers raisin-heads, and only liked Bilal because he wasn't sub-Saharan black.
I'm going to Germany in spring, and I'll lay the groundwork for an Aryan Caliphate, that will finish what Hitler started.
BECAUSE IT'S CURRENT YEAR

>an Aryan Caliphate, that will finish what Hitler started
Yes Please
Pic is the ceiling of "Hitler's Mosque" in Germania(Berlin) 2050.

When did relations between Native Americans and white settler/travellers turn from friendly trade to violent outbursts?
>>1376449
rape, disease, alcoholism, enslavement and forced conversion/denigration of indigenous culture
>>1376449
Both things always coexisted from pretty much the first second.
reading the early settler accounts and diaries (george catlin and columbus' documentations), they seemed to have a pretty chill relationship with each other to start. i was wondering if there was a specific 'flash point' where the violence kicked off, or whether it was an evolving toxic relationship for decades
Being selfless, (unfairly giving of yourself), and causing others pleasure is a universal, objective morality.
Being selfish, (unfairly taking for yourself), and causing others displeasure is a universal, objective immorality.
Different cultures all revolve around those two dipoles and simply play tricks with what's pleasurable & the expectations of fairness.
Also, I posit they can be measured, compared, and ranked by their total pleasure-displeasure ratio.
Prove me wrong.

>>1376447
Wrong.
Pleasure and pain are complex survival mechanism which are constantly changing as you do.
How can they be the judge of what is objectively right and wrong? When those feelings are entirley subjective. This is where you are going wrong, you cannot make everyone happy. Everyone is so extremley different making one person happy makes another just as unhappy.
In order to live an objectivley good life (in my opinion) is to do what ever you will without willingly causing malicious intent to others.
Pre simple.
Universal is not the same as objective, and "universal" meaning common to all cultures is not the same as actually universal.
