yes but definitely not any time soon, most South Koreans probably dont even want to reunify anymore

>>1914205
I don't think it will unless by China's terms, since it's in China's backyard as opposed to capitalist Europe's in the case of Germany. Because of this, I think the North could absorb the South, but not vice-versa. FOR South to take North, the US and China would need to fight something dangerously close to direct war between wold powers.The U.S. and South Korea would need to creep up to China's borders, which I cannot imagine unless China suffers a catastrophe on the level of the dissolution of the USSR.

It would be a complete disaster for South Korea and is not comparable to German reunification.

The differences between the DPRK and RoK are massive. If they were to reunite, South Korea would have to reeducate the entire population of North Korea, this includes educating them to disavow the Juche ideology and their commitment to the state. This would include reeducating to function in urban and services environments unlike the agricultural and industrial environments which dominate North Korea. This would include reeducating them away from the militaristic attitudes which dominate North Korean society.

North Koreans are living in a society where their technology level is back in the 1980s. They have extremely low wages and lack professional education required in a first world country. The RoK would suffer an economic collapse if they had to carry the weight of 25 million, highly militarized, highly indoctrinated, poorly educated, and impoverished people.

As for German reunification, East Germany was by far the best place to live in the Eastern Block, it had by far the highest standard of living, and they weren't nearly as impoverished as North Koreans are. In Germany, there was a 3:1 GDP per capita gap between West and East respectively, while between South and North Korea there is a 20:1 GDP per capita gap.

In Germany, East Germans wanted to reunite with West Germany because East Germans knew that life was better in West Germany. This created some enthusiasm for the reunification to work. North Koreans would lack such enthusiasm because they do not know of any benefits of living under RoK rule. North Koreans know nothing about the outside world aside from propaganda, East Germans were a lot more connected.

Darwnin just noticed fact about nature, he do not propose course of action for human civilization.

Lol if you'd've read anything by Darwin you'd know how false that is

I meant Paul Bunyan, not Appleseed.

Out of all the terrible things they do and do not teach in the American public education system, your biggest concerns are those?

Isn't every monarchy "artificial" since they are all created by humans?

They don't have divine right? I don't know

Agnostic here.

The Holy Bible has been translated and interpreted differently so many times it's unbelievable in my opinion.

Can a Christian explain the Old vs New Testament to me? Do you believe in 2 different universes or what? How can you have 2 testaments? How come the Bible is always translated differently? How come your own pastors don't even know the Bible from heart in it's original Hebrew or Greek language?

It's a delusional mess.

At least Islam has scientific passages that were written before they were even scientifically discovered, like the reproductive system and stages of pregnancy. And they all follow 1 bible in 1 language, and don't rewrite and innovate the "word of God" every 50 years to fit in with the ever changing moralities of society.

>>1913932
When the whole bible is a metaphor you can reconcile it with anything, even atheism.

>>1913940
Islam also has it's own Evolution theory. Pretty much the same as Darwin's, except that it's God's will, not survival of the fittest. Even accurately estimates the age of humans to what we scientifically know.

No, his work is devoid of spirituality, it's all Islamic-style theology. Although it inspired Dante, whose work is quite beautiful and spiritual.

no, I'm still upset about the christposting guy at /lit/ who constantly poisoned threads with his bullshit, was happy to see that he didn't migrate to /his/.

No, it's the highest expression of everything wrong with Scholasticism.
All of his deductions are utterly detached from reality, and are ultimately completely useless

Just because they were retarded about some things doesn't mean they were retarded about all things. Most people are retarded about some things. Newton believed in magic and alchemy, but we still use his physics most of the time today.

>>1912661
This, and it's really not that unreasonable to assume what Aristotle did at that time period. If someone had no idea what air resistance was and they dropped a phone book and a piece of paper at the same time, they would make the same conclusion.

fuck off

How is that different from a club to the back of the head? The actual suffocation and cerebral anoxia can take minutes, while decapitation is instantaneous.

Poland bullied Russia and Germany for centuries. Serves them right.

Persia/Iran. That region has been constantly steamrolled/invaded by everyone from the scythians to the mongols (twice if we include Tamerlane) for most of recorded history.
