The movie isn't even accurate to the Iliad, let alone anything resembling objective history.

The Trojan War happened. The Iliad's depiction is unlikely to have happened. The movie's depiction was nothing like the Iliad unfortunately and so is even further removed from it.

I've actually been to Troy so AMA.

>Did this happen?
Probably in some way
>How accurate is the movie
Regarding the source material: Not very accurate.
Regarding historical accuracy: Difficult to say, since our knowledge of the portrayed events is rudimentary at best.

Actually debates aren't supposed to prove things, they only try to convince an audience.
Some people are not convinced by reason, which is why sophistry exists.
Sometimes even, the audience we want to convince is ourselves.

>>2465269
so it's not about discovering truth but about making people believe stuff you made up? like 50% of the threads right now?

>>2465328
If a debate was only between two people with the express interest to act detachedly consider positions, and they were free from all ideology and social judgement, then perhaps they might both agree with a conclusion and between the two of them, they may be satisfied that they found a "Truth".

But most of the time, the debate is between ideologies that have different mutually exclusive axioms, neither side is willing to consider the other as legitimate, so instead is a series of sophistical jabs, for instance by pointing out how your opponent is a bad person (because of their ideology?).
In this case even if one side were to accidentally speak a Truth by coincidence, it would go unnoticed.

They're not even in the same racial group

Because they're Polynesian, Aborigines are not even Homo sapiens.

Prepare to have your mind blown by the fact that age of consent is a fluid social construct.

This guy garroted them and raped them in their anus as to not use the natural vessle, he had 80 + children according to reports this wasnt a wife husband scenario

Was that so hard to realize for you?

It's actually closer to the Sudan and the Horn before anyone else. These groups make their own race apart from other Africans, Middle Easterners or Meds

>>2464501
They were like any other med nations before islam, te culture, way of live etc was very romanized or hellenic plus native. Those influences are strong enough today,but islam ando árab culture dominate.

Acceptance.

Ecclesiastes 3

3 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

I don't see why it would be illegal. While it may have been frowned upon or uncommon, I doubt there was any institution that wives would go to and report any alleged beatings.

In other words, you don't know.

If you want specific yes no answer you need to be specific on the location. Laws vary rather wildly from place to place. In general this >>2464206 anon is correct, beating your wife as a corrective measure was accepted but frowned upon by the community if you were thought to be too harsh.

It didn't COLLAPSE in 1989 like the rest of the commie states.

I mean, they're doing pretty well. Are you asking how they (mostly) lost the war?

>>2464075
besides losing the war? not much, Taiwan is doing pretty well for itself, comparable to South Korea and Singapore in development and living standards.

only thing holding it back is its claim to Mainland China, instead of declaring independence as a Republic of Taiwan.

of course mainland china would never recognize an independent taiwan, but it's the most reasonable of the outcomes to this political showdown.
