Anyone who bitches about Hiroshima and Nagasaki but not strategic bombing in general is an idiot.

They're Justified, and they're Ancient,
And they drive an ice cream van.
(just roll it from the top)
They're Justified and they're Ancient,
With still no master plan.

You can invent a justification for anything. That doesn't mean it will ever be right.

Was being the leader of a country always a shitty job? It is said that POTUS is one of the most unpleasant jobs imaginable: you get basically no free time, have to have a very tight schedule, multitask 24/7 and it's extremely stressful due to smartasses criticizing your every move and others asking for stupid favors. It's a wonder there are even people who want to take it.
Did historical leaders have it easier? Maybe this has to do with the fact that the president is an elected official, so maybe dictators can actually do what they want and enjoy their power. But dictators also have to worry about their underlings assassinating them, so probably even they have to work their asses of to please them.
Post whatever info or thought you have about historical leaders and whether they had an easy life on top or not.

You're comparing a picture from 2007 to a picture from 2016. He's getting older and that's why he's graying out.
Not saying his job isn't stressful as fuck but his current appearance is most likely simply due to aging

/mostly this.
It's he entered the dreaded period in a mans life called his 40s and just shows it harder due to stress.

Beautiful people will never be able to experience true love. At best, they will get lusted by.
To achieve true love, one must be ugly.

I've never been into history but recently I've started listening to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History and I've been enjoying it.
What are some other history podcasts like it?

This is probably the best modern telling of the entire history of Rome available.
Its rough though the early episodes, but it gets much better.

Agreed. He takes some getting used to as he has a bit of a dry sense of humor about him, but you'll learn to love him

We have loads of them in Northern Ireland too. The DUP make the Republican party look like champions of progress and enlightenment.

What prompted Josephine to say this and do you agree? Are all great men of history less than their female counterparts?

Can you name Adolf HItler's wife? Maybe. Can half of the world? No. No I do not agree as a lot of great men did not have wifes, practically the same as advisors

These days in christianity and many other modern forms of belief or spirituality, we emphasise personal relationships with god and emotional connections/spiritual experiences.
have religions always been like this? If not, when did it change? What was medieval christianity like for the average person?
I wonder if or how the idea of faith has changed over time.

No. Personal religion makes religion in itself completely fucking worthless when it's no longer capable of being effectively used as a societal control system.

Let's be honest, you put anyone in Florida and they become a degenerate.
Glorious German stock still rule the plains though. Hitler was pretty myopic, to say the least, if only he could see the beauty of North Platte he might have reconsidered.
