Name a more feelsy song.
What I love about these sorts of songs is that they imply the United States will move on and be fine, which is sad because it accepts the anonymouse soldiers will eventually be forgotten. Nothing beats those sorts of feels.

This theme is not as feelsy because it does not convey that the world will continue, indifferent to their deaths. It in fact fetishizes the dying soldier.

For me the last post is less feelsy when its played very well for this same reason.

You can make a big budget film or TV show surrounding any historical person, event or time period.
Required information for the picture which is unknown-scales of battles, appearances, motives and whatnot, all become known to you.
The only limitation you have is that the film needs to be relatively entertaining to the sort of people who would usually watch historical films.
What to do you make?

Let's play a game /his/.
You post two historical figures of mostly equal value, and then have to erase one from all any and all historical records while the other gets to stay intact.
I'll start us off:
>Julius Caesar or Jesus Christ.

I'd go with Caesar. There were plenty who would also do conquest, but the basis for Western morality? That's not something I want to do with out.
>Newton or Einstein
>>
>>2208319
Newton.
Other people figured out Algebra and there were plenty of just as smart mathematicians around the same time/came soon after.
>Beethoven or Mozart
>>
>>2208326
Mozart. Beethoven was a Romantic pioneer.
>Elisabeth I or Catherine The Great.

>After extensive, and sometimes difficult, discussions, the churches in Germany agreed that the way to commemorate ecumenically this Reformation event should be with a Christusfest – a Celebration of Christ. If the emphasis were to be placed on Jesus Christ and his work of reconciliation as the center of Christian faith, then all the ecumenical partners of the EKD (Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Baptist, Methodist, Mennonite and others) could participate in the anniversary festivities.
Sounds a bit sensitive for my tastes but sect relation repairs/consolidation isn't a bad thi-
>Separating that which is polemical from the theological insights of the Reformation, Catholics are now able to hear Luther’s challenge for the Church of today, recognising him as a “witness to the gospel” (From Conflict to Communion 29). And so after centuries of mutual condemnations and vilification, in 2017 Lutheran and Catholic Christians will for the first time commemorate together the beginning of the Reformation.
I…uh…what?!?

How can one be sure that one knows anything? All knowledge or all supposed truths seem dependent, in the end, in some sort of assumption that is difficult to trace back or explain. One can put axioms out there and seem to get pretty far, but that's a kind of assumption as well.
Following up on this, how would you decide which initial truths or assumptions to accept? It seems like your selection of which fundamental beliefs to accept- whether or not the mind can really understand its surroundings as they are and not as they perceive it could be one, maybe- would probably be decided on based on even more arbitrary factors that would rely on assumptions.
How is this explained in philosophy? Who are some notable 'philosophers of knowing' or even thinking, and how might they answer these questions? Or if these questions are incorrect or say things incorrectly, why would that be?

try hard to keep your memories accurate.
> Following up on this, how would you decide which initial truths or assumptions to accept?
Do what seems logical to you. This will manifest to people throughout the world in different ways because we are raised differently but its the best we got to knowing truth.
For example, I was raised Christian and accept a form of the Christian doctrine as being true. I know of arguments for and against the religion, but the way I understand the religion seems logical enough to me for to be an accurate estimation of truth. This acceptance brings order to a chaotic universe, purpose to an disorderly existence and meaning to our lives as humans. If I was raised in Saudi Arabia, I'd probably be Muslim. If I was raised in Japan I might be Buddhist. But because I've been raised Christian and understand Christianity better than all those religions I've accepted in a form that appears logical to me.

lol. Isn't this called rough trade? except instead of both trying to rape each other, there's an aggressor and a guy who tries to fight him off, but only to delay the inevitable. I think its normally gay for pay type situations

That's just called consensual gay sex.
