Pretty sure the theory was to make debts during crisis, and repay those debts when the economy is doing well.

Western goverments started misusing this policy tho by bribing the people to win elections and making debts even during economically good times

Because you didn't leave descendants.

Passing shit along to your descendants was a big deal back then. No family, no kids.

Also, a lot of homosexuality that was "punished" back then was older men preying on younger boys.

The West has a level of comfort and prosperity unrivaled in the word. I can understand radical left ideologies having some impact in third world countries or in former communist ones where you can have some old nostalgic people, like where I live.
But why on Earth would people living in the security and comfort of the West unironically consider themselves to be "Real" Marxist/Socialist... and the like?

What does /his/ think of extra history?

I find that they do a good job of givng basic information on events in an interestinf way. I try not to base my knowledge on them too much though. I also like how they revisit some mistakes they make for each series.

Mystic vs Reason Anonymous 2016-12-04 06:21:02 Post No. 2040208 [Report] [View this topic]

Regarding the Eastern Christian tradition of the Orthodox Church in Russia, Greece, the Middle East; and the Western Church esp. Roman Catholicism... Which is the "best" or rather, "most pleasing to God" way of approaching Christianity?

The Eastern tradition puts more of an emphasis on mysticism, asceticism, and sometimes an almost Gnostic view of the world. Where the spiritual goods are regarded as wholly important and one ought to, at least to some degree, deny oneself the apparent physical world in order to achieve Godliness.

On the other hand the Western Roman tradition emphasizes logic, reasoning, classical philosophy, and other scholastic pursuits in approaching Christianity. They are much less "world denying" and for the most part reject mysticism in favor of the idea that creation is good and life is good and we ought to reasonably analyze things.

So which do you think is the better way of approaching Christianity?

"Protestantism" is very vague, and many protestant traditions draw heavy influence from the Catholic Church and Catholic theology i.e. Lutheranism and Anglicanism.
