The British were the only people to really embrace transportation because of the Irish. Its the only way to control them.

The British began transportation as a result of possibly two changes crime in Britain. Firstly increased urbanisation brought extra poverty and that led an increase in petty crimes such as stealing and forgery.

Secondly, perceptions to punishment had changed drastically. Public humiliation as a punishment was no longer seen as effective and thus incarceration was seen as the preferred method of keeping criminals out of society and as a way of deterring crime. As we know it wasn't that effect.

So, because of these two factors, gaols were overflowing with petty criminals and thus transportation was seen as a two fold solution. To firstly punish the criminals and to provide much needed labour in colonial endeavours. Australia was chosen after the loss of America because it was feared that the Dutch or the French could claim parts of the continent and the British were afraid of losing it.

The common misconception was that murderers and rapists were sent to Australia but this was rarely the case. Those men who committed these crimes were mostly execute by hanging in Britain and the majority sent to Australia were thieves and forgers.

>Why was transportation so prevalent?
Why not?

- Gets rid of criminals
- Costs less than keeping them locked up
- Provides you with cheap labor

Tbh I'd be all for it today. Shipping crooks to some inhospitable wasteland is a good way to make sure they won't be committing crimes inside of your country any more.

>If Germany didn't sign the Armistice in WW1 and the war kept on going and there weren't all the strikes and everything, what would have happened? Would the Britain, France, and the US have been able to conquer all the way to Berlin,


Easily. By the close of the hundred days offensive, the German army couldn't even retreat ahead of the advancing Entente forces.

You would have gotten mass pocketing and swallowing up of what was left of the German army, and then a rolling up of the countryside. If there's no truce on November, I give the Germans 5 months, tops.

Starting this armchair general thread wrong mate, what if the central powers enhanced their defensive positions on the western front instead of taking some retarded charge that cost them 1 million men and all of A-H?

>>2193963
They were fucked. Remember Austria-Hungary was already crushed when they signed the Armistice.

You are probably reading about their universal conscription system

Ottoman worked like that also, kids would learn craftmanship etc

>>2193908
Instead of having wagecucking people learned a craft in a personalized relationship between master and apprentice. Most of the West used apprenticeship before the industrial revolution and in parts of the west it hung on a long time.

Europeans/Americans, no. But I could totally see Sub-Sarahan Africans going on a crusade, probably not to the Middle East but against Muslim nations in Africa.

no
Catholic Church has literally no power
by 2100 the entire planet will be atheist (even the sand niggers) and we will be Star trek n shiet

why do you think everyone will be atheist?

It's common practice to name at least one child, usually the first born, after Mohammad to show one's piety and to honor the prophet.

>>2193725
>feel no obligation to at least try and think about what they want to call their child?
What? They obviously do it to honor Mohammad. And every culture has a common name, literally how the phrase "GI Joe" came about. Are you going to pick out a name book and try to find the most obscure thing in it to name your kid, or are you going to go for something that is accepted in your culture?

Cmon dude, this is the stupidest anti-islam thread ive ever seen.

The original commandment was not to lie in court. The whole "never lie in any circumstance" was appropriated by the Jews from Zoroastrianism during and after their diaspora in Persia.

>>2193664

Because the Decalogue's purpose is to provide a theological foundation, so to speak, for the rest of the commandments and theology. That's why, for instance, the first "commandment" isn't even a command, rather a statement of "I am the Lord your God".

Lying in and of itself isn't necessarily sinful. Going up to you and spouting nonsense, that the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, or that coal is white, isn't evil. Deceit is (almost always) sinful. Trying to lie to get your neighbor's money isn't inherently more or less sinful than trying to get your neighbor's money by other means.

As it is, you already have foundational commands against people's person (don't murder) and against their possessions (Don't steal). The one about false witness is a societal command, to uphold the strictures of civilization, not a personal one. Quite frankly, it's extraneous for the purpose.

As opposed to today where pest control is a multi billion dollar industry, with entire local government departments set up specifically to tackle it?

Some people say that I am friends with Jews...

I personally want to know about "storefront" architecture at the moment. Was this grocery store built in the International style? I think it's from the late '50s.

Idk but im curious about your pic
What is it?

Pompeii. An entire city preserved for 2000 years, granting untold information about the glory Roman Empire, containing tons and tons of dicks, lewd images, eroge, shitposting etc

They like Trump but hate what the country has become. They wonder how America sled so hard into tyranny of the grotesque.

why should it matter?
