Why is that priest near the kid.

Shouldn't the psychiatrist do something about that?

sometimes u gotta teleogically suspend the ethical

>doesnt not a thing about the things that made him attack rome

if that holy bastard backstabbed the empire by allying with France a nation so treacherous that even made alliance with the muslim evil (see unholy alliance), of course Karl V was gonna fuck him in the ass

Sometimes the pope is a shithead and deserves it.

Sometimes that other major catholic country is allying with the fricking t*rks against you.

What would you have done in his place?

Let's just talk about the early stages then.

I'd say that the only way for South Africa to survive would be genocide of the immigrant blacks.

>>1806990
>*have survived
Domestically? Almost indefinitely.
The security situation in South Africa was almost always secured and even in the worst of the dissent the homelands were maintained.
Umkhonto We Sizwe couldn't even scratch the SADF, it barely hurt much national/civilian infrastructure.

Internationally however the powers that be determined that it could not continue and lathered on the economic and political sanctions to force such.

No.

James Garfield was.

I mean how can you be the greatest president ever and not have this stance? Garfield was based, bro.

>Artem autem illam mortiferam et deo odibilem ballistariorum et sagittariorum adversus christianos et catholicos exerceri de cetero sub anathemate prohibemus.
>Comment. The reference seems to be to a sort of tournament, the nature of which was the shooting of arrows and other projectiles on a wager. The practice had already been condemned by Urban II in canon 7 of the Lateran Synod of 1097, no doubt because of the it involved. [[41]]

They could certainly pierce mail since mail is quite weak to piercing attacks in general since breaking a ring is not that tough. From the fact that plate continued to be used very frequently and with great success untill the gunpowder age and to some extent beyond and the fact that normal arrows don't do much against plate we can assume they weren't that effective against plate. Of course most soldiers weren't wearing full plate, it's likely that were rather effective in general since despite what modern media tells you about the effectivenes of armour it actually does work very well combined with a weapon that can just deal with the common soldiers armour would be pretty deadly. The 420 no scoping nobles all day is probably just a meme though.

then why is it still used today to protect against stabbing attacks and for shark protection?

Princess Olga was the wife of Igor of Kiev, who was killed by the Drevlians. At the time of her husband's death, their son Svyatoslav was three years old, making Olga the official ruler of Kievan Rus until he reached adulthood. The Drevlians wanted Olga to marry their Prince Mal, making him the ruler of Kievan Rus, but Olga was determined to remain in power and preserve it for her son.
The Drevlians sent twenty of their best men to persuade Olga to marry their Prince Mal and give up her rule of Kievan Rus. She had them buried alive. Then she sent word to Prince Mal that she accepted the proposal, but required their most distinguished men to accompany her on the journey in order for her people to accept the offer of marriage. The Drevlians sent their best men who governed their land. Upon their arrival, she offered them a warm welcome and an invitation to clean up after their long journey in a bathhouse. After they entered, she locked the doors and set fire to the building, burning them alive.

With the best and wisest men out of the way, she planned to destroy the remaining Drevlians. She invited them to a funeral feast so she could mourn over her husband's grave, where her servants waited on them. After the Drevlians were drunk, Olga's soldiers killed over 5,000 of them. She returned to Kiev and prepared an army to attack the survivors. The Drevlians begged for mercy and offered to pay for their freedom with honey and furs.

She asked for three pigeons and three sparrows from each house, since she did not want to burden the villagers any further after the siege. They were happy to comply with such a reasonable request.
Now Olga gave to each soldier in her army a pigeon or a sparrow, and ordered them to attach by thread to each pigeon and sparrow a piece of sulfur bound with small pieces of cloth. When night fell, Olga bade her soldiers release the pigeons and the sparrows. So the birds flew to their nests, the pigeons to the cotes, and the sparrows under the eaves. The dove-cotes, the coops, the porches, and the haymows were set on fire. There was not a house that was not consumed, and it was impossible to extinguish the flames, because all the houses caught on fire at once. The people fled from the city, and Olga ordered her soldiers to catch them. Thus she took the city and burned it, and captured the elders of the city. Some of the other captives she killed, while some she gave to others as slaves to her followers.
Now princess Olga is St. Olga of Kiev in Orthodox Church.


Such is life in the Rus

I can't speak to the morality of the act itself, because that is dependent on the meta-ethical view we're talking about.

But I WILL say that identifying with distant (geographic and historical) peoples is what ended the dark ages and created the Renaissance. So the act definitely has the potential to revolutionize a populace. Furthermore, the case acts a precedent for the idea that other cultures and times would be better or at the least can be learned from.

Pic related.

I think that Americans should be imitating Austrians & Central Europeans. Before Nazism, that culture was the greatest on earth.

To be fair, it took them 30 years and they got 50% of the land they wanted.

I only edit small things while going about my normal usage of the site, so I'm not really a wikipedian, but I have to say that my favorite thing about the site is going to the talk pages of hot topics and scrolling through the butthurt of people who take themselves and the site extremely seriously

it's simply tradition that has gone on for so long it's become "religion"

you don't really think about it, you just *do it* because it's muh tradition

nobody really knows what it all means

So is it just a way of saying: "we're really atheists but as we have been doing these two things separately for a long time now we do them together just for tradition"?
