How much more violent could the breakup of the Soviet Union be? Say that the 1991 coup attempt succeeded and the hardliners take control of the Soviet Union, while the pro-Gorbachev republics (Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, etc.) attempt to secede, leading to civil war. What's a plausible course of events from this?

I DO NOT THINK THAT YOU KNOW WHAT "STEALING" MEANS, NOR WHAT CULTURAL DIFFUSION IS.
And the west post 1850's

This is what weebs claim, while no Japanese do.
Hi /his/, recently I've been getting more in to religion and I want to know what the key aspects, rules, end goals and talking points of the three big ones are.
I never grew up with some enforced religion so all the values and teaching I've learned are through reading and researching
So far this is what I have established:
In Christianity God can be represented in The Holy Trinity. There are different interpretations of THT but the main idea is that Jesus is the true son of God and he died for the sins of all people. Jesus must be the son of God because if not, Jesus' death was in vain as the death of a God is the only adequate penalty for sins judged by God. Jews believe that Jesus was not the son of God but the son of Pandere (Pantera) and that the true son of God has not yet arrived. I'm not completely filled in on Islam, but they recognize that the Talmud and Christian Bible are legitimate, but they also believe that the current texts have been changed from that of antiquity, and that Islam is the answer to both other religions.
It seems the the other religions' main issue is the recognition of Jesus as The Son of God, and I know there is a dispute between Islam and Judaism about rights to Israel.
What else should I know as entry level knowledge? And is the information I have correct? Thanks guys

Most of the stuff after "Son of God" sounds distinctively Protestant to me.

That paragraph was meant to be a quotation.
If you want serious discussion you'll have to talk to educated memembers of a given religion, all you'll find here is Fedorafags, WEWUZing catholics, and those alt-right "mudslimes are outbreeding is" types
Fair warning
Is it true that the Poles tried to fight tanks with cavalry?
No, the Polish cavalry units used the horses to maneuver and then got on foot to fight the Germans. They're not savages.
So apart from Danzig, the "Corridor" consisted of Polish-majority regions that had risen up in 1918-1919, correct?
fucking poles lmao

If the US government didn't tolerate the 1960s or the left gone wild Universities of now this drivel wouldn't exist.

the funny thing is that this comic completely misses the point of the argument by 180 degrees and all of these retards would hate Karl Popper if they actually knew anything about his work
The secret is to actually enforce the law.
If the Germans had hung Hitler after the Munich beer hall putsch, none of this homofaggotry would have happened.
Would Hitler win if he didn't declare war on the us?

Can somebody colorize this photograph for me? I'd also like it to be enhanced, you know, clear up some of the grain and increase the resolution.
>>3321561
Here you go OP
>>3321561
Colorization is a very complicated and time consuming process, no one here can do it for you.

Okay, that's exactly what I wanted. Here's another one.
Leviticus 19:13, 18
>You shall not oppress your neighbour...but you shall love your neighbour as yourself: I am the Lord.
Deuteronomy 24:19–22
>When you reap in your harvest in the field, and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it...When you beat your olive trees, you shall not go over the boughs again...When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not glean it afterward; it shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless and the widow. You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I command you to do this.
Psalms 82 (81): 3, 4
>Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
Isaiah 1:15–17
>Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood...cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; defend the fatherless, plead for the widow.
Ecclesiastes 3:13
>It is God's gift to humankind that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all their toil.
James 5:1 -6
>Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up for treasure for the last days. Behold, the wages of the labourers who mowed your fields, which you have kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

Be guwd nn shiiet. Wow, thanks.
Even the Pope agrees

If we ever got to the point where we could create robots with cognitive faculties comparable to human beings, would it be immoral to use them as slaves?
>>3321531
Slavery is only bad because of the emotional and physical pain that it inflicts on the victim. Machines cannot feel emotional or physical pain, so there is nothing wrong with "enslaving" a machine.
Wait, are we starting with the assumption that slavery is immoral?
>>3321540
>Machines cannot feel emotional or physical pain
the machines we are capable of producing currently certainly cannot, but that doesn't mean that we won't be able to in the future

Ah yes....

Lets have a thread dedicated to this meme and the creation of new ones.
Are the Muslims in Myanmar doing what the American colonists did?
>come to someones land
>try to make country
>kill the natives
>the natives fight back
>cry victim and get supported by other countries' private interests
>>3317875
They are only doing what Muslims always do.
>>3317875
No.
More like Myanmar is a fucking mess. It's barely even a unified country. It's government is prone to apeshit massacres to keep rebelling minorities down.
>>3317875
No. What's happening in Myanmar is basically what happens when a multiethnic kingdom loses its monarchy and goes "M-M-MUH NATION" and alienates all its component ethnicities.
the saddest story of history is the conquest of americas, the most beautifull story of history is the conquest of america, the only unprecedented and unparalelled story, terrible and wonderfull, hernan cortés and moctezuma, fransisco pizarro and atahualpa, there is no script in human history that can compete
The saddest part, is how it was mostly due to no fault of the natives. Just evolutionary biology fucked em hard and now a full 2 continents worth of culture technology religion has been wiped out because of lack of immunity to disease. Shit's depressing mang.
