Why did America have such a problem with organised crime syndicates and armed gangsters in its largest cities? Couldn't they just send the army in to the streets and brutally crush all the gangsters?
72 posts and 9 images submitted.

Gangsters didn't hang around in a clubhouse labeled "gang hideout." They did their best to pay off or threaten people into silence so they could operate in relative secrecy. Despite being criminals, they still had rights. Any law enforcer who wanted to lock them up needed proof that they were doing something illegal. This is difficult for the above mentioned reasons.

favorite roman emperor.
My favorite was Augustus, I found it amazing that someone can build an empire that lasted about 600 years. (correct me if i'm wrong.)

Any other opinions?

Augustus built nothing. The Roman empire was weak and pathetic compared to the republic, and the republic was built with foresight and intelligence of the Senate. Rome would never have fallen if the damned Cesareans hadn't ruined everything.

Because of the world war number 2 and the fact that it only ever produced dictators, making it a system where in which it is impossible to easily transition from leader to leader, perhaps if an elective system was set up in a fascist system maybe it would have survived.

Brodie wasn't nearly as bad as you think. It was great at protecting the British soldiers from bullets and other projectiles while the troops were in the trenches.

Why do these brave atheists who proudly criticise Christianity and Islam never criticise the religiously-motivated settlement of the West Bank by Jewish religious zealots?

Maher is pure, bought and paid for shill. He's ethnically Jewish, not religiously. This is why.

Harris makes mention of Jews repeatedly, and thinks that Israel should not exist.

Dawkins, I got no idea about. Is he even a Jew?

I know that Hitchens was half-Jewish, and he was by far the most vitriolic about Israel needing to be destroyed so that nobody could claim it.

I think Sam Harris does.

Let's talk about colonialism.

>Colonialism is the establishment of a colony in one territory by a political power from another territory, and the subsequent maintenance, expansion, and exploitation of that colony.

Were the Portuguese the best explorers out there? Even better than the English? You could argue that the Portuguese had the advantage in ship building and ship knowledge due too one Prince Henry and his famous school. But still They discovered the coast of Africa, came to India, Brasil, they even discovered Greenland and Newfoundland.After a while, after they had a few colonies, they stopped. Was that due to the fact that they came under Spain? That didn't stop Holland. But sure they had money for an army and for exploration, but so did Portugal or am I wrong? One would assume that even though they were under Philip II and his appointed advisers they would still have the opportunity to start new colonies.

Also I found it funny that Holland after the 2nd war with England, had to swap New Amsterdam for the space that is today Suriname. And then the Dutch couldn't expand there because of Spain and Portugal. Talk about being cucked. Take that you Calvinistic pigs

What? There's no Christians in Arabian peninsula today except for Filipino workers. Muhammad and Omar commanded all Arabian Christians in the peninsula to convert or leave.

I would wager anger over hatred. The two often coincide, but not necessarily, I think.
