Why were the Northern Europeans historically taller than Southern Europeans?

If diet is the answer, what type of diet would contribute to the increased height?

As a Southern European I always thought Northern European food was generally bad for you, since they just eat what they have available while we have a wide variety.

Animal protein consumption explains 95% of cross national variance in height. Tru fact

Cheese and Milk. Calcium is vital for proper growth.

>since they just eat what they have available while we have a wide variety.
no, that's exactly why northern diet had MORE variety. you had to know lots of things you could eat while southerners could take almost all of their energy consumption from plain wheat.

Catholic church.jpg

Hi /his/, I want to make this thread because it is something I have been dealing with for a while now, and it is Sunday again and I don't know if I should go to Church. About 2 years ago I reverted to Catholicism(was an atheist). I loved Church history, loved the traditions, the architecture, essentially I reverted for all the wrong reasons. As time went on, I read the gospels, some of the epistles, and looked back on the Pentateuch a bit(I read the Pentateuch up to Leviticus in Catholic School when I was kiddo as well), and got more into theology. I eventually saw that a lot of Catholicism didn't seem biblical, and I got into reformed theology and biblical Christianity. I still had many doubts about Christianity, and couldn't force myself to believe a lot of it, especially creation. I tried to repent, I tried to give myself to Jesus, but I always fell back into sin, I always fell back into doubt. I started smoking weed and drinking again, I fapped more, I even looked into the occult and /fringe/ stuff for a short week. I didn't get fulfillment from these things either, and after a few months stopped the smoking and drinking(still working on the fapping though). I got into more philosophy, I read more, and tried hard to find solid meaning, but ultimately I went back into nihilism, and apathy. Now I am doing better, and have been trying read more of the greeks, specifically Plato, but yesterday I got into a theological argument with a lukewarm "Christian"(she is essentially a universalist) and found myself getting really into my old ways. I was quoting scripture, explaining why I have faith, talking about CS Lewis, etc. I felt like my faith was reignited last night, albeit for a short while, but I even read the bible once again for the first time in a while(I used to read it every night before bed). Now, I woke up today and was thinking about going to my local baptist Church, and I turned on the TV to watch a sermon on a Christian Channel.

Stop being a baby Christianity is about a personal relationship not rituals.
>>
cont.

I was quickly reminded of the reasons I grew away from Christianity in the first place. The sermon was about why the end times are near, and the pastor kept talking about Israel and why Russia's future is foretold in Ezekiel, shit like that. This reminded me about creationism, and how basically every good protestant denomination, especially Baptists, are creationists. I have looked into creation "science" with a pretty open mind, but it is bullshit, true bullshit. Then I thought about all the virtuous pagans, people like Socrates, Plato, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, Aristotle, where do they all fit in? Marcus Aurelius was definitely aware of Christianity and did not accept it, that must mean he is in hell. An extremely good man by most accounts would be in hell. This example works for many other Latin philosophers and writers. So, I guess my question is /his/, Is Christianity true, and if it is how? How can it possibly be true? Which denomination is true? If I pick wrong I could end up in hell, it is like russian fucking roulette. Why can't I just focus on living a moral life here on Earth?

>>1897952

I'm currently on your situation right now, But I was born catholic but Am now a christian, and now a backslider... I'm so deep with my sins and addiction that I don't know what to do now, I left out my church(Baptist) and here I am reading on /b/ and /gif/ fapping forevermore.


and then I remembered the parables that jesus taught to the people of galilea, about the seed that is thrown on the thorn, it grows but it doesn't end well. or maybe that house built upon a sand, and when the waves crashes down, it falls. just like me... and I'm thinking maybe God doesn't wanted me anymore, that's why he can't hear me

No. Let it fade into the abyss

Apologies for the basic question but I need to understand this. Were there ANY redeeming features (victories, notable wins in battles etc) in WW2-era Italy or were they absolutely 100% retards of the highest level? I hear about them being an absolute joke but surely they must have done some things right.

They held Ethiopia for a while

They took sidi baranni

They never did a french-tier instantly surrender and heavily collaborate thing.

>>1897748

The italian army wasnt motorized, it's generals had learnt nothing from the successes of the germans, it had contracted FIAT to produce tanks and those tanks were awful, it did not have any resources of its own but relied on it's colonies, the british controlled both chokepoints into the mediteranean, the italian artillery and arms were all from the great war, it's ammunition was outdated and weak, it had roughly 150 modern airplanes when it entered the war, it had a highly conservative grand marshall who said of the german reports on mechanized warfare "we'll read it after the war", it had no aircraft carriers, it did not impose a war economy like the other nations, it did not sieze Malta straight away and their only real power was in their surface fleet which the british caught napping at Taranto pretty much straight away.

Of the seven members of the first Soviet politburo, five members were Jewish. Only one was Russian.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politburo_of_the_Communist_Party_of_the_Soviet_Union#Background

Similar ratios were seen in the leadership of Communist organizations in Hungary and Germany, for example.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Revolution_of_1918%E2%80%9319


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_Soviet_Republic

Why are Jews so historically prevalent in communist movements? Is there some aspect of their culture or religion that lends to these kinds of sentiments?

So how big a deal is government debt?

I know very little about how it works i.e. Government Bonds and treasury bills etc but are there any examples throughout history of government debt literally destroying a nation, i suspect there is.

And how much of a big deal is this in an age where we can just print money through quantitative easing?

I suspect quantitative easing would raise inflation and so on, shouldn't this be a bigger factor as inflation can clearly destroy a nation?

Also, can a government just literally refuse to pay back debt? I suspect it is MUCH harder nowadays when we have markets, for example, if the US just denied to pay back the debt China owns, the Chinese could literally just sell them off at a cheap price tanking the US economy, right? Or am I just being stupid?

the notion that the US will never default on its debts is a foundation of the global economy, US treasury bonds are considered to be a risk-free investment.

That's one of the big reasons why so many economists hate Trump, he suggested America should negotiate with its creditors to pay back its debts for pennies on the dollar. This is something that is often done with debts in business when declaring bankruptcy, but doing so on US bonds would mean a default on loans and would absolutely destroy the global economy. It was very worrying to many economists because it showed a lack of understanding beyond his narrow experience in the business world.
>>
>>1897123
I still don't understand why so many Americans believe success in business can be transferred to success in government. But it's pretty clear at this point Trump will just be a puppet for Pence the same way Dubya was for Cheney.

National debt is only bad when other people think you can't pay it back and stop giving you more loans.
