cus the colors are pretty anon

>>3225163

Because colors mean things. If you see read stuff coming out of somebody's body (or possibly even your own), that's an important message that your brain needs to be able to comprehend quickly.

Why red green and blue?
Why not just red and green, wouldn't we be fine?
Or why not much more colors?

A Saint of our age.
Blessed may he be and peace be upon him.

I tried reading The Seven Storey Mountain but I couldn't finish it because it was too boring.

His thoughts on eastern mysticism would probably not be acceptable under recent rulings by the Vatican and various bishops, but he can hardly be held responsible for things written after his death.

Of course many throughout church history have been interested in the Prisca theologia and other concepts, and have of course faced accusations of heresy based on this interest and their published work.

I do wonder if his interest in such things stems from an unfamiliarity of various Christian forms of mysticism which are often viewed with suspicion themselves.

Immigration and Liberal Taboos

by Edward Abbey

>In the American Southwest, where I happen to live, only sixty miles north of the Mexican border, the subject of illegal aliens is a touchy one. Even the terminology is dangerous: the old word wetback is now considered a racist insult by all good liberals; and the perfectly correct terms illegal alien and illegal immigrant can set off charges of xenophobia, elitism, fascism, and the ever-popular genocide against anyone careless enough to use them.

>The only acceptable euphemism, it now appears, is something called 'undocumented worker.' Thus the pregnant Mexican woman who appears, in the final stages of labor, at the doors of the emergency ward of an El Paso or San Diego hospital, demanding care for herself and the child she's about to deliver, becomes an "undocumented worker." The child becomes an automatic American citizen by virtue of its place of birth, eligible at once for all of the usual public welfare benefits. And with the child comes not only the mother but the child's family. And the mother's family. And the father's family. Can't break up families can we? They come to stay and they stay to multiply.

>What of it? say the documented liberals; ours is a rich and generous nation, we have room for all, let them come. And let them stay, say the conservatives; a large, cheap, frightened, docile, surplus labor force is exactly what the economy needs. Put some fear into the unions: tighten discipline, spur productivity, whip up the competition for jobs.

>The conservatives love their cheap labor; the liberals love their cheap cause. (Neither group, you will notice, ever invites the immigrants to move into their homes. Not into their homes!)

>Both factions are supported by the cornucopia economists of the ever-expanding economy, who actually continue to believe that our basic resource is not land, air, water, but human bodies, more and more of them, the more the better in hive upon hive, world without end-ignoring the clear fact that those nations which most avidly practice this belief, such as Haiti, Puerto Rico, Mexico, to name only three, don't seem to be doing well. They look more like explosive slow-motion disasters, in fact, volcanic anthills, than functioning human societies. But that which our academic economists will not see and will not acknowledge is painfully obvious to los latinos: they stream north in ever-growing numbers.

>Meanwhile, here at home in the land of endless plenty, we seem still unable to solve our traditional and nagging difficulties. After forty years of the most fantastic economic growth in the history of mankind, the United States remains burdened with mass unemployment, permanent poverty, an overloaded welfare system, violent crime, clogged courts, jam-packed prisons, commercial ("white-collar") crime, rotting cities and a poisoned environment, eroding farmlands and the disappearing family farm all of the usual forms of racial ethnic and sexual conflict (which immigration further intensifies), plus the ongoing destruction of what remains of our forests, fields, mountains, lakes, rivers, and seashores, accompanied by the extermination of whole specie's of plants and animals. To name but a few of our little nagging difficulties.

>This being so, it occurs to some of us that perhaps ever-continuing industrial and population growth is not the true road to human happiness, that simple gross quantitative increase of this kind creates only more pain, dislocation, confusion, and misery. In which case it might be wise for us as American citizens to consider calling a halt to the mass influx of even more millions of hungry, ignorant, unskilled, and culturallymorally-generically impoverished people.

>At least until we have brought our own affairs into order. Especially when these uninvited millions bring with them an alien mode of life which - let us be honest about this - is not appealing to the majority of Americans. Why not? Because we prefer democratic government, for one thing; because we still hope for an open, spacious, uncrowded, and beautiful-yes, beautiful!-society, for another. The alternative, in the squalor, cruelty, and corruption of Latin America, is plain for all to see.

>Yes, I know, if the American Indians had enforced such a policy none of us pale-faced honkies would be here. But the Indians were foolish, and divided, and failed to keep our WASP ancestors out. They've regretted it ever since.

>To everything there is a season, to every wave a limit, to every range an optimum capacity. The United States has been fully settled, and more than full, for at least a century. We have nothing to gain, and everything to lose, by allowing the old boat to be swamped. How many of us, truthfully, would prefer to be submerged in the Caribbean-Latin version of civilization? (Howls of "Racism! Elitism! Xenophobia!" from the Marx brothers and the documented liberals.) Harsh words: but somebody has to say them. We cannot play "let's pretend" much longer, not in the present world.

England would be a Norwegian province if we hadn't lost in 1066

the Pope licks immigrant feet
he is a traitor to European blood and soil
every Catholic is a traitor

the 4 Crusade ended with knights sacking Constantinople
destroying the Byzantine empire so that the Turks could take it later

Jesus was a filthy Jew

Svalbard was never colonized by vikings. There is no real evidence they even discovered it.

isn´t Guanahani one of the outer Bahamas?

What happened to the Roanoke Colony
CROATOAN

>>3225194
They left and joined a native tribe on a nearby island. This actually was not an uncommon thing to happen in early colonial America, as natives generally had better food and hygene (not to mention were better at survival in general). The only reason Roanoke stands out is because it was so shocking to leave a functional colony and return after a few months to find a complete ghost town.

> kings charging head first into battle
mostly a meme, ok they did it once in a while for morale

>>3224933
Because that's retarded

>>3224933

Because snipers currently exist.

>>3224902
I ask that you rethink your question logistically, and militarily.

>>3224902
Check out the level of opposition displayed in Norway and compare that to what the British could field.

>>3224902
Question, did the Germans ever think to use captured French or polish airplanes??

Butt fucking is unhealthy and messy. Gay men who constantly get butt fucked ended up with fucked up assholes.

>>3224433
OP says not gays.
But, what about it is unhealthier than regular unprotected sex? (Assuming your butt fucking someone unprotected also)

>>3224448
If the person doesn't clean themselves regularly you run the risk of an infection, there is possible pink eye from a person going a2m.

Look it's great (really it is, imagine the tightest pussy you've ever felt, besides there's almost a primal aspect to it imo) if you know the person keeps themselves really clean down there, but if you're not sure then I would advise against it.

>>3224420

Profitable how? Does that mean they charge high prices for getting to see it?

It guards the Oeresund in Denmark, every ship entering or leaving the Baltic sea had to stop and pay 1-2% toll on the cargo value. This payed Denmark national budged for the 16th and 17th centuries. If you didn't stop and pay, they'd sink you. Denmark was a pirate state.

Just a tangential rant, and no judgement on you OP, but Asimov is my favorite author of all time, and I hate it when people quote him as if they're his intellectual peer. The man could get a request from his editor, have the final draft of a full novel on said editor's desk 48 hours later, and it would be fucking amazing. He's got hundreds of books in all but one section of the Dewey Decimal System. He made an informational book about fucking carbon gripping and entertaining. The man was a true genius; you are not. Stop looking down your noses at others from behind a pithy quote of his posted on your facebook wall.

any state worth his salt gives complete academic and illectual freedom, then reap the harvest

>>3224257
Huh? I just needed a picture for the opening post and thought this would be a good one. I wasn't trying to imply that I was an intellectual peer to him at all.

>>3223705
Thankfully no.

>>3223705
there would be no reason to, the people there aren't German any more the soviets made sure of that.

Nah, it's where Russians keep their nukes now
