I've got a paper due on "Ethical Dilemmas", and the case I've been haned is:
"John is married to a wife named Clarice, and has two daughters and one son, at the ages of 3, 6 and 12. He has killed two people, and has now been given the death penalty. Is it acceptable to kill him?".
I have a few argumentsat hand, both pro and con such as:

CON:
Theirfather figure will be gone, and the kids might grow up with hatred againt the justice system.
The psychological strain might be too much to handle for the kids and their mother.
How can we dictate who lives and who dies?
It is not acceptable to kill a person, knowing their crimes before, before the death penaly, why should is be allowsed afterwards?

PRO:
People who kill people should be killed.
There is no way that he can be a good influence on anyone in society now that he has killed someone, especially his kids.
Why should a man who has possible taken away everything that mattered for someone else get to live; that is immoral in itself.

I would greatly appreciate it if some of you gave your thoughts on the subject, and hopefully we'll get a discussion going. I'll try to be a part of it as much as possible, but like I said, I've got a paper to write.

If you are specifically wondering if it is "acceptable", then just accept a policy and stick to it, its as easy as that.

>>2576891
I havent really decided yet; I wish to value the pros and cons. We're also debating this topic next week, so I would like to prepare myself as much as I can, and a lot of people on this board have a very reflected view on multiple subjects.

These arguments are not against death penalty, but against any kind of severe penalty.
Twenty years in prison will also have dire side effects.

The question of whether punishment is legitimate in principle is valid, though.
Instead of putting so much importance on the penal system, we could very well start to treat killings and other hurtful actions not as crimes but as risks, and work on their causes to reduce their frequency, and on their consequences to alleviate the damages done.
Like we do with disease and accidents.


But that's not the question you've been asked.

What is the exact colour of the old flag used during and pre-WW2?
The modern naval flag is much brighter compared to this one that Wikipedia showed as pre-WW2.

I ordered the exact picture to be made into a flag and they turned to me all in bright, shiny red... The customer support guy told me that the picture was troublesome, could that be possible?

Why was the Roman Senate unable to reestablish their ancient constitutional power after the initial fall of the Republic?

Like say after Caligula's assassination what made the senate impotent to fill the void in power?

The bodyguards went 'fuck we're out of a job', then found Cali's uncle, made him Emperor, continued to get loads of dosh.

it wasnt a republic anymore, and to make one would be a regression, which God did not allow until quite recently in formerly roman lands to a degree

>>2576772
Because they didn't want it. The Civil War and Augustus made it obvious that kowtowing to the Julio-Claudians was a lot easier, not to mention safer, then attempting to run the government. Tiberius offered power to the Senate but they wouldn't take it, he lost all hope in the Senatorial class and spent the rest of his reign degrading them by prostituting their children and raising Sejanus to power unprecedented for a equestrian. By the time Caligulia came to power, the Senate's will was broken and wouldn't be a force to be reckoned with until the Flavian Emperors.

Tell me about the people the Egyptians called Libyans. Were they just desert raiders, or was their relationship with the kingdom more complicated? Also, why are they drawn here looking much more impressive than the others, even the Egyptian?

>>2576683

they were originally from central or northern europe. Later waves of similar migration would be the visigoths
>>
>>2576683
Libya was just the land that was East of the Nile and started in Siwa. The phenotypical variation of Libyans was broad and these archetypal visuals of regional people was just meant to reinforce "us" vs "them".

They included Tehenu, the Ribu, the Nasamons, the Garamantes, etc. From Siwa to Fezzan but they were a complicated and complex category.

"Berber" is a useless word because that does not encapsulate a people along racial or ethnic boundaries. Especially given the fact that the very name is a statement of Nubian origin still used by Egyptians and also historically to Somalia

praetorians were glorified bodyguards that got cut to pieces when facing experienced legionaries

and varangians were decent infantry whose main merit was being personally responsible to the emperor paying them as opposed to being from a landed aristocratic family with loyalties that often put them at odds with their commander/emperor

In monarchies, does the kingdom live on after the passing of the founder's sons, or do they pass the thrones into the sons' sons?

>There’s a lot of snobbery in academia,” he says, imagining a faculty drinks and some brogue-wearing professor discovering his background. “That one cutting remark.”

This article is full of gold. Imagine being one of these academics surrounded by prime Chads and Staceys (Jacks and Olivias) who are on the private school to university fuckfest to investment banking path.

Everyone always says that, almost noone ever follows up.
Even if you can find out who the guy was, are you really going to bother going through with a prosecution? Nah mate, you ain't. Besides, it's most likely just your word against his. Short of the can having injured you, he'll just say you tripped on some trash and now you're trying to get a paycheck with a bullshit suit.

Lel id change some of the wording and put something in between the last 2, but it's basically correct. A well planned and responsibly executed entheogenic experience combined with reading is probably the best way to accelerate this process. I have a handful of experiences that helped propel me past some of those traps (ie: reddit atheism) in a matter of days or weeks.

I've certainly tasted the last "tier" but have since regressed. It's also kind of a paradox because claiming "dude I'm so enlightened lmao" is itself a common ego-trap many fall into.

I just realized that every successive nation in history only survived because they deleted regional differences and supressed local cultures, and formed one big unified nation.


Is this true or false?

Clearly there wouldn't be sucessive nations if that were the case, dimwit, there would be no new nations left to succeed to first one.

And there aren't any. When you read medieval travel journals, you read about huge cultural differences within France, Italy, Germany, Spain etc., but just try and imagine France getting split up in different nations. Its impossible, because now, France is only one nation.
>>
>>2576080
I think its more that regional cultures were integrated and tolerated making it a patchwork of co-operating sub cultures.

They invaded Sicily the middle of the thirty years peace. It was stupid as fuck because invading Scily, even to help "muh Ionians" immediately broke the peace and forced them to fight the Spartans on two fronts while trying to control their own empire.
