I've reading about the Troubles recently but what makes me curious is what were the opinions of the people of the Republic of Ireland on the Troubles, and why did the Irish government oppose the IRA so strongly?

>why did the Irish government oppose the IRA so strongly?
because most civilised governments are against blowing up civilians
>>1906944
"civilians"
>>1906944
Britain and America must not be civilised governments then.
How do you feel about this quote, /his/?
Is history for smallminded?
But all three feed into each other?
But don't historians generally discuss all three?
What kind of mind discusses quotes?
Does education actually help building a democracy, or its just a meme and good education doesnt really help the people into becoming good citizens? Whats the state of democracy in countries with supposed excellent public education systems, like Finland?
Yes. Democracy is voting by the people. When people are more educated, their vote becomes more meaningful. Instead of just playing lottery/random chance.
>>1914576
Of course better education makes for better democracy. See the Nordics or the Switz for good examples. You couldn't really transplant their political systems to other countries, because their citizens are much more skilled and civic-minded than most people in the world, including a lot of the West.
Imagine what elections look like in countries where the majority is illiterate.

How did heroin market arrive in america (and in the western world)? Why was it everywhere in the 90's?
How did huge drug markets were created in general (cocaine, opium, crack etc)?
90% of all herion comes from afghanistan. And we all know who that has occupied that land for many years
>>1914362
You couldn't possibly mean...? No! It can't be right!
>>1914369
That's right, anon. Take the red pill. The Irish have been behind everything this entire time.

May as well put Cromwell's invasion of Ireland up as well.
>9. Battle of Warsaw
Because the army that had crumbled and was basically was immobilised by the time it reached Warsar would of been able to march to Paris.

It's impossible to empirically demonstrate a negative.
Prove Me Wrong.
you can't sort in less than omega(nlgn) in the comparison model
it's a lower bound and a lower bound is as close as you get to proving a negative imo

So, if I live a good life but die a virgin, do I get to bang qts in heaven?
I don't see why anyone wouldn't go to heaven. Every religion speaks about the power of interceding. I'm sure there's at least one person in the history of humanity that would want all people in paradise.

So I'm reading through Skepticism and Animal Faith and am struck by how much better it is then any modern non-religious philosophy. Are there any other really solid atheist philosophers like Santayana who are not Russell or philosophers in the Russell fanboy camp?
>>1913889
>who are not russell
Why do you hate Russel so much? Have you even read Principia Mathematica or do you just not understand him?
>>1913889
Classic marxists.
>>1913893
He's fine as far as he goes, but I'm looking for more of a classical world view and works on ethics, aesthetics, etc.
