Yes, absolutely.
If you read that and this masterpiece, you'll fully understand the reason Flips are so fucking pathetic lazy selfish subhumans who need to be wiped from the Earth and god willing we will, death to Homo islander and long live Homo Asiana

When did you realize that the simple, permissive and egalitarian way of life of many African tribes is really what's best for Humankind?

Are we talking based Khoisan or eternal (((Bantus)))?

I don't particularly like the Khoisan, sorry. I prefer true blacks (Nilo-Saharan, Bantu...). >_<

When my girlfriend wouldn't do anal sex.
Seriously... I was sad, I thought we had reached a point in our relationship where we could trust eachother and let our emotions come together in an intimate manner. I pushed anal for a year giving her hints little jesters.
But still nothing. I gave up and realized that love was just a superficial unpresidented insecurity of emotions we have towards significant other beings of idealistic extraction. I had been programmed to believe that her style and choice of attire as well as her hobbies and interests infered that she in fact did anal. I never would have thought differently and when it came to be the opposite of my concluding thought process. I ascended into a deep depression.
This of course was nearly after taking my own life that I realized the simplistic and permissive, egalitarian way of life as accustomed and practiced by African Tribes was the proper way to live.
I have since signed up for the peacecorp and requested to be sent to these places where the tribes reside.

Many people slander other countries.
However I think that praising others is better than slandering.
What do you think about it?

No offense, but this is an /int/ topic.

I think it's mostly just banter. I mean, yeah it's probably better to talk about the positives, but there's nothing wrong with a little joke here and there.

I'm reading about the development of Me-262 and something caught my eye. Early protoypes flew as early as in 1941, and the definite version was first flown in summer 1942, but for some reason Hitler authorised the production only in November 1943, and the aircraft officially entered service in summer 1944.
Too much precious time was wasted when the type could easily be introduced earlier, and it was too late to do anything with it.
My question is, do you think Me-262 would''ve made a major impact on the air war if introduced somewhere around 1942-43? It was the most modern design of its time and basically forged a path for all future aircraft.

>My question is, do you think Me-262 would''ve made a major impact on the air war if introduced somewhere around 1942-43?
No.
The only effect it would have would be to galvanize the American and British efforts to field their own jet fighters sooner, like the P-80 and Gloster Meteor.
As I recall, the big bottleneck was engines.
They were expensive, and they were first generation and wore out after like 8 hours.

" When the Spaniards under Pizarro came to South America in 1532, the natives called them "vicarochas" (white lords). According to their legends there was a master race of very tall white people who centuries before had descended in "flying disks" from heaven. They had long ruled in some of the towns and when they disappeared had promised to return. When the fair skinned Spaniards arrived, the natives thought them to be the vicarochas coming back and therefore in the beginning willingly gave them their gold. Similar occurrences took place when the first white travellers arrived in Tibet and other Himalayan regions. They were scrutinized (gransket) in astonishment by the Tibetans and asked why they came from below (the foot of the mountains) rather than from above as they usually did."
Are all Gods of every mythology based on Nordic/Aryan aesthetics?

Don't know about the Inca but the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl who many claim was associated with Cortez is also the god of light and when they said he was white they meant like white as a sheet. Just like Tezcatlipoca was considered black as in pitch black.

but the aztecs saw the Spaniards as gods though....if it was what you said, they wouldn't of reacted to them like that

Would the Mongol empire *at its peak* be able to conquer Nazi Germany?
>>2333030
no.
>>2333030
Not really an easy question to answer.
Would it be Mongols being able to conquer a theoretical Nazi Germany that existed at that time with the technology of that time? Or would it be a modern Mongol empire that had modern technology? Would the Mongols have adapted to the technology or would it be giving a bunch of barbarians guns? Are they equivalent to modern populations or 13th century populations?

>build the (at the time) worlds most advanced and impregnable fortifications

What did they mean by this
>>2332796
They meant that should an invasion from Germany happen, they'd defend at Belgium's line of fortifications, as well as rivers like the Dyle instead of going through the expense and effort of fortifying the entire way to the sea.

was there a more pathetic excuse for a government/military command in WW2 than the French from 1930-1940?
They didn't have much of a choice due to diplomatic requirements. Continuing along the Belgian border would have basically been saying to Belgium "fuck you guys, you're on your own."
