If god is real, why are carnivores a thing?
Why should an innocent have to give it's life to further the life of another?
Because God isn't a pussy
> it's
Pretty f*cked up when you think about it, the basis of all life is consuming other life

Should they have left the UK?
What where their motivations? Were there any benefits or upsides to it other than "muh independence?"
How big an achievement is there independence?
Lastly
Collins or De Valera, who's better?
>>1689653
>Should they have left the UK?
and gone where?
>>1689663
What?
Maybe you mean British Isles, in which case yes, they're still there.
>>1689653
>Should they have left the UK?
Yes.
>What where their motivations? Were there any benefits or upsides to it other than "muh independence?"
A complete lack of rights, education and freedom, used as cannon fodder and stripped of all wealth and resources.
How big an achievement is there independence?
Considerable given the enormity of the Empire and their presence across the island. It's also important to remember the remoteness of the island to the mainland, sabotaging many attempts of relief from allies.
>Lastly
Collins or De Valera, who's better?
Both were extraordinary individuals which were crucial figures in securing Independence. Personally I feel Dev has been unfairly vilified while Collins gets away with the atrocities he and his men committed during the Civil War because of his assassination.
Who would win in an all out conventional war between NATO and Warsaw Pact? Both sides are aware about MAD so no nukes.
>>1689639

>>1689639
In any case the moment Russia realizes it's going to lose its gonna release its nukes in spite of everything, MAD or no MAD
>>1689639
Depends on how long the war lasts and when it starts.
For most of the Cold War, the Soviets had a massive conventional superiority in the main theater of conflict which would be Europe. They would likely advance quickly and relatively easily. They would almost certainly overrun Germany, Denmark, the Low Countries, France, Spain, and Portugal. They might have trouble in Italy (narrow terrain and lots of mountains makes advancing difficult), they would very likely be unable to advance into Britain. They might or might not be able to overrun the Scandinavian countries (it's hard to move a lot of troops around up there)
However, the U.S. alone can outbuild the Soviet Union pretty badly. The UK is likely to survive, which adds another decent economy to the mix, you also have Canada, possibly Italy, and whatever "third world" countries are taking sides (although some will inevitably side with Moscow, but given the NATO control of the commons, they will likely do much better in these brush wars). If they build long enough, and are willing to accept the inevitable cost in blood and treasure, they will win, eventually. The question becomes whether the will to fight gives out before the Western material advantage becomes insurmountable.
However, the question is a bit absurd. NATO's policy was to counter Soviet conventional advantages in the short term with a nuclear deterrent. If Soviet tanks start moving into Germany, I can't see them not letting the nukes fly.
How can I increase my creativity?

creativity flourishes in free from duress environments
more choice bigger boundaries more energies more creation/destruction
>>1689609
What is creativity first to all?
It's a known fact that grass increases creativity
From eight, to eleven times. In fact, everyone finds that they're more creative stoned, than straight.

is pepe a form of internet-age religious expression?
Why did people talk like this? Did they just talk differently or where only smart people in the public spotlight?
I have also speculated that as you go back in time intelligence becomes more and more associated with literary attributes rather than problem solving / mathematical / numerate (along with a huge number of other non academic endeavours as outlets for intelligence and creativity). In other words people had almost nothing to do other than become more literary.
>>1689116
It just uses a couple of less "common" words, which makes sense as in a letter you have more time to think about what you want to write, as oposed to a faster mean of comunication.

No, germans are germans.

Does the average adult male height increase or decrease as time passes? All Ottoman padishahs were like 7 feet tall, right? And now that kids are growing up with iPhones, you could say height decreases, right? R-Right?

Height on average has been increasing its something women are blatantly conscious off in selective breeding. It's mostly due to dietary reasons though.
There's so much pseudoscience in that post I don't even know where to begin
