How was the bombing of Nagasaki not a war crime?
Hiroshima can be justified sort of, but Nagasaki wasn't a major part of the war effort.
>200 soldiers killed
>~90,000 civilians killed
>yay we did it guise we got the bad guys :DDD
And we probably saved millions of lives by forcing surrender so in the end justifiable but still unpleasant to say the least
>>1528001
yeah but russia was going to join the war effort. truman knew this but he ordered the bomb to be dropped anyway.
the shit even missed its fucking target by a mile

The victors of war are immune to prosecution.
So do they want you to believe in God because they think He is mean or because they want you to believe He is not real?

Chose to just keep on trucking straight ahead in every situation and still somehow ended up with pretty reasonable results

You really think the companies making those cars would write the car to kill the passenger that *bought* from them? even if 5 babies are at risk? what sort of business choice is that?
Refer to Zuckerberg not cooperating with federal police to give out information of his clients.
stick to the trolley dilemma kid
I always picked the option in which the car goes straight regardless of how many die.
Should Nabta Playa be included in an introductory history text? Nabta Playa is the African Stonehenge. A truly remarkable feat, considering it's 80 miles west of the Nile. Note, desert begins one mile west of the Nile.
When I was in school, I was taught very little about the ancient wonders of Africa. Although, recently there have been some efforts for a more inclusive historical approach. Yet, a truly fair curriculum has yet to become mainstream.
>>1525002
Is that Stonehenge for ants?
strange how the alliums made a much larger and more impressive stonehendge in britain than they did in africa. i wonder why they made that choice.
>>1525015
Yet, it was the most advanced of its time.
Has catholic dogma changed since its founding?
Hardline Catholics say not at all but I'm not so sure-im catholic but it seems like they do a lot of "redefining" or goal post shifting. I'm not really even sure where they find the biblical authority for tradition.
>>1524666
Absolutely, and papist trips confirm.
>>1524666
>666
If you care about dogma you'd leave the Catholic church asap.
>>1524674
or God
or Jesus
or Mary (the real one, not the catholic one)
or salvation
or heaven
or hell
the list is endless

Samuel Phillips Huntington (April 18, 1927 – December 24, 2008) was an American political scientist, adviser and academic. He spent more than half a century at Harvard University, where he was director of Harvard's Center for International Affairs and the Albert J. Weatherhead III University Professor. During the Carter administration, Huntington was the White House Coordinator of Security Planning for the National Security Council. He is most well known by his 1993 theory, "The Clash of Civilizations", of a post-Cold War new world order. He argued that future wars would be fought not between countries, but between cultures, and that Islamic extremism would become the biggest threat to Western world domination. Huntington is credited with helping to shape U.S. views on civilian-military relations, political development, and comparative government.[1]
Do people born or grow to be evil?
"evil" is an abstraction, it has no inherent existence in reality.

Oh.
How do you, as a white male, study Japanese history without the apprearence of being a weeb? I find it interesting, have no interest in manga or anime, but find kendo kinda cool, but I don't want to be perceived as a weeb. Is there no hope?
Most people don't even know what a weeaboo is.
>>1519643
Oh I doubt that. Maybe they don't know the name, but they know the type.
It's impossible. I showed off some basic knowledge of Chinese and Japanese history and people went:
"Wow Anon, you love everything East Asian, don't you?"
I hate China and Japan, for fuck's sake.
I'm in a red state and I'm surrounded by people who insist that Hitler was a leftist, and that leftism of any form leads to mass genocide.
Dear God please help
So move.

I know literally nothing about gypsies. What is their past? Who are they? Where did they come from?
>>1515895
They got like.. distant heritage in India or some shit.. I think.
India has a shitload of nomads.
Like a hundred million or something.
Some of them wandered off and eventually found their way to Europe, where they survived as craftsman/thieves
They come from India and became nomadic, settling all over Europe.

Hmmmm.....

I'm guessing you've never been hit with a blunt weapon, might not cut an arm off but it'll render it useless. What if these guys are wearing chainmail? Your sword bounces off meanwhile my mace still fucks shit up.
Let's talk about Ukrainian insurgents before and after WWII /his/.
I was talking with a Russian coworker the other day, and she claimed that most Ukrainian partisans were pro-Soviet and only a few were "traitors". I wanna know if she's right or if she was being a vatnik.
So /his/, what percentage of Ukrainian partisans were completely pro-Soviet? What percentage were nationalist and revolted against the USSR following WWII? And what percentage of anti-Soviet Ukrainian insurgents collaborated with the Nazis?
>>1518912
The word "partisan", in the context of the Eastern front in WW2, means something different than it normally would. They were military formations on occupied territory organized by local remnants of the Red Army or political officers, and they were centrally controlled by Moscow. It is true though that these partisans comprised most of the resistance in Ukraine, Belarus and Bryansk. The Banderites fought against both the Nazis and Soviets.
>>1518912
it's something that evolved pretty quickly over time.
at the start of Barbarossa, Stepan Bandera's men were probably the majority of partisans and were anti-soviet, but after getting shafted by the Nazis, they fell into obscurity.
later on, there were a large number of pro-German soviet defectors who wanted to see a Russian/Ukrainian state free from Stalin, but they too were massacred by the Nazis after a while when it became clear that there would be no Russian state.
From late 1942 onward, the overwhelming majority of partisans were pro-soviet, after German atrocities against the occupied population mounted further and further.
You could say the Germans racial policy really did waste a valuable ally in the anti-communist civilians of the occupied USSR, but the decision to massacre them for living space turned the population against Germany very quickly.

They collaborated with Nazis tho
Why do religious people try to muddle every argument against faith and make it as complex as possible? Is it to drag it down into the mud and make themselves seem right?
