didn't you read that part in the koran where it describes mohammed beheading a christian and raping his wife, then disembowling the wife, and being rewarded by allah for it?

I'm pretty sure only divine inspiration could have made that so similar to the buddhist koans that describe peace as the highest virtue

Hitler's nephew was such a conniving cuntish coward.
>>
>>1708776
In 1933, William Patrick Hitler returned to Germany in an attempt to benefit from his uncle's rise to power. His uncle found him a job at the Reich Credit Bank in Berlin. Later, William worked at an Opel automobile factory, and later still as a car salesman. Dissatisfied with these jobs, William persisted in asking his uncle for a better job, writing to him with blackmail threats that he would sell embarrassing stories about the family to the newspapers unless his "personal circumstances" improved.

In 1938, Adolf asked William to relinquish his British citizenship in exchange for a high-ranking job. Expecting a trap, William fled Nazi Germany; he again tried to blackmail his uncle with threats. This time, William threatened to tell the press that Hitler's alleged paternal grandfather was actually a Jewish merchant. Returning to London he wrote an article for Look magazine titled "Why I Hate my Uncle.

There are tons of explanations or solutions to this problem

Does a single one of them actually make you feel good or content in its answer?

Nope, all the consistent ones turn god into a mindless zombie that barely deserves the title "god"

I am nt sure why you would expect any answer to "the problem of evil" that would necessarily make you feel good or content.
>>
>>1707981
Because if you don't truly feel content in the answer, it puts your faith into question. Will God actual accept your belief if you have misgiving and doubts about things like this? It means that on some subconscious level, you resent God

Was Vietnam the most boring major war of the 20th century? When I think about Vietnam, everything that comes to my mind is American soldiers walking through the jungle for days, playing a cat and mouse game against the Viet Cong and its allies. After weeks of looking for the enemy, they would eventually find them and raid their villages with helicopters, burn everything down and that's it. Until some new VC cell appeared, and this would have to repeat.

Only some important offensives like Tet did have conventional warfare. but most of this war was guerrilla warfare. Well, there was conventional warfare against the NVA, but even those engagements were very slow and tedious, because of the terrain. Most of the combat was between infantry because tanks and wheeled vehicles were useless there. Only in the low lands we actually had something that looked like conventional warfare.

The 1974 Spring offensive was probably the most exciting moment of the war. The rest of the war didn't have a lot of remarkable battles, except for some of the most important offensives. Compare this with World War II, where you had huge armored columns clashing against each other. It was far more impressive than the war in Vietnam. WW1 was a very slow and tedious war too, but I think even that war was more interesting than Vietnam

What do you think about this?

Why do you think medieval pike formations died?
>>
>>1706984
there is no effective difference in cannons between the Thirty Years War and the American Civil War.

the only difference is the amount of cannons an economy could produce and the army could field.
>>
>>1706994
Because of bayonets becoming common but even then tight infantry formations were a thing for centuries to come.

I suspect they pushed inland after a hurricane wiped out the colony, trying to find undevastated place to live and. Their are intriguing hints of European penetration into inland Carolinas and possibly Georgia that show that some of them MAY have gotten a fair ways inland, presumably merging with or being killed by local tribes along the way somewhere.

But where they were sitting was basically wearing a really a big "Hey hurricanes, kick our asses!" sign around their necks.

How popular and widespread was coffee consumption in Europe prior to the New World and the large coffee plantations established therein?
6 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>The earliest substantiated evidence of either coffee drinking or knowledge of the coffee tree is from the 15th century, in the Sufi monasteries of Yemen. By the 16th century, it had reached the rest of the Middle East, Persia, Turkey, Horn of Africa, and northern Africa. Coffee then spread to the Balkans, Italy and to the rest of Europe, to Indonesia and then to America.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_coffee#Europe
>>
>>1706652
When were plantations established there? All I remember about coffee history in Europe is that in central Europe coffee got popular after lifting the Ottoman siege of Vienna when christian coalition captured Turkish supplies which were unsurprisingly full of the beans.
>>
>>1706652
Coffee became popular in the 16th century.
