Just recently an Englander told me he was a "Welsh piece of shit" on /int/.
And yes, I'm a crossboarder.
>>1885487
That was probably more due to his political reforms and that individuals dislike of the welfare state than his nationality.
>>1885487
Fuck off back to your shit board and tell your fellow shitposters to stay there. You faggots are ruining this board.
> Why do English people hate him?
They don't. He was one of the better PMs.
The poster was just bantering about the Welsh.
How did the nations of the Congress of Vienna react to the election and accession of Napoleon III to the Imperial throne of France? I can't imagine they were too happy about the nephew of the contemporary Hitler being in power.
Why doesn't nephew of Hitler ruling Germany now?

Not too good and not too bad I wouldguess.

Didn't they come up with the concept of 0 before everyone else?
>>1885420
Even Ancient Egyptians used zero.
Why aren't you a Mormon yet, /his/?
Magic underwear ain't for me. Also Smith is a known liar and con man.
>>1885384
My family actually sent my brother to Mormon school because he was a fuck up and needed direction. They actually legitimately help retards find a place in the world and don't expect them to figure it out by themselves. It's structured so people with weak willpower have a community to help drive them.

wait is there an Ice Age in the bible?
Why was usury historically considered a sin? When and why did it become acceptable?
It was sinful because it was main activity of Jews.
>>1885241
>why
Since the debt was on a person, rather than an item of property. A person who was unable to repay their debt was forever enslaved to the debtor.
>when
The Reformation, perhaps not immediately, for Protestant countries. To my understanding the Catholic Church just stopped talking about it in the 19th century. In most other societies I think the stigma was lost with Westernization.
>>1885249
No, it was the activity of Jews since Jews were, by their laws, allowed to loan to gentiles.
Obviously the association with a mortal sin didn't do much to advance the Jews' regard in the eyes of their Christian neighbors.
>The Nazino affair was the mass deportation of 6,000 people, 4,000 of whom died, on Nazino Island (Russian: Ocтpoв Haзинo) in the Soviet Union in 1933. The small, isolated Western Siberian island is located about 800 km north of Tomsk, in Alexandrovsky District, Tomsk Oblast near the confluence of the Ob and Nazina Rivers.
>It is called "Death Island" (Russian: Ocтpoв Cмepти, Ostrov Smerti) or "Cannibal Island" because about 4,000 out of 6,000 Soviet "special settlers" died there during the summer of 1933, after being abandoned with only flour for food, few tools and little clothing or shelter.[1][2]
>A report on the events was sent to Joseph Stalin by Vassilii Arsenievich Velichko. The report was distributed by Lazar Kaganovich to members of the Politburo, and was preserved in an archive in Novosibirsk.[3] It states that 6,114 "outdated elements" (also known as "déclassé and socially harmful elements" or classless people) arrived on the island in late May 1933. They had been transported from Moscow and Leningrad, first by train to Tomsk, then by river barge to Nazino. At least 27 people died during the river transport. There was no shelter on the island, it snowed the first night, and no food was distributed for four days. On the first day 295 people were buried.[4]
Are... are commies even human? Jesus.
What were they trying to accomplish?
>>1885230
communism hasn't been tried yet
>They were trying to escape. They asked us "Where's the railway?" We'd never seen a railway. They asked "Where's Moscow? Leningrad?" They were asking the wrong people: we'd never heard of those places. We're Ostyaks. People were running away starving. They were given a handful of flour. They mixed it with water and drank it and then they immediately got diarrhea. The things we saw! People were dying everywhere; they were killing each other.... On the island there was a guard named Kostia Venikov, a young fellow. He was courting a pretty girl who had been sent there. He protected her. One day he had to be away for a while, and he told one of his comrades, "Take care of her," but with all the people there the comrade couldn't do much.... People caught the girl, tied her to a poplar tree, cut off her breasts, her muscles, everything they could eat, everything, everything.... They were hungry, they had to eat. When Kostia came back, she was still alive. He tried to save her, but she had lost too much blood.
Sounds like a made up atrocity story 2bh.
Why didn't Belgium just let Germans to walk threw their land and battle France? Did they really need to take United Kingdom into war so much over scrap of paper? Absolutely retarded.
Every European power guaranteed Belgian neutrality in 1838, it wasn't just Britain.
>>1885218
Germans seldom leave if they manage to get inside your country, and no sovereign nation can allow a war to be fought on it's territory, can you imagine how angry the Belgian voters be with their govt if they tried such a thing?
>>1885218

How did this little desert, this tiny sandy jewel, go so far and give so much to the world? Were the Arabs destined to conquer by the Gods?
Maybe, but then God ditched them.
>>1885173
They mostly stole science from ancient Greeks.
>>1885173
You mean take so much from the world
I have never seen through all of history a people who's entire list of achievements were things done by other people that they claimed as theirs
Why?
>>1885156
Why not?
>>1885156
Really makes you think
because hierarchy is inherently oppressive
Why is russia so poor?
>inb4 communism
How could the conditions for such a situation arise?
>>1885143
Corruption and poor rule of law are detrimental to growth.
Russia was always corrupt as fuck and its courts and administration were always completely arbitrary.
>>1885167
This. I blame Stalin, mostly
They spent their money on cold war instead of the economic development.
Why did Hitler call it operation barbarossa (named after Frederick Barbarossa, a crusader) implying a modern crusade against bolsheviks, when he wasn't even christian himself? Lots of top nazist wherent christian.
Did regular soldiers really believe they were preserving western christian values?
Was it just a trick to use religion?
>>1885067
More so a trick using German nationalism
Ended up failing harder than Barbarossa himself :^)
>>1885077
:^)
>>1885067
The Nazis were obsessed with the crusades, surprisingly.
That's why you have a lot of alt-right wing LARPERS calling for "crusades now" etc
Posted this on /g/ the other day and nothing fruitful came out. What are some good areas where philosophy and computer science overlap? I'm a 2nd year CS/Philo major and I'm trying to find something to start working on that could eventually become my senior project.
AI, FOSS
Logic
>>1884984
I don't know about philosophy, but as a CS/History major I've been interested in simulation and agent-based modeling.
>ywn see Richard the Lionheart himself running down Saladin's lines daring him to attack him and making the Turkroaches so scared that they wouldn't attack
Why was Richard so based?
>>1884903
>Why was Richard so based?
Because he was French
It's not Hardold Godloseson who'd have done that
>>1884903
>Based
Richard didn't give a shit about his home country, and was a warmonger.
>>1885081
His home country was France and he cared about it
It's England he didnt give a shit about
