Where can I learn about the history of Pirates?
I'm particularly interested in whether or not David Jones' locker was a real person?
Let's discuss it?

Why was China content to just maintain the usually fairly meaningless "tributary system" instead of trying to conquer the rest of Asia?
When the Roman Empire created a client state it was almost always a step on the path to full annexation. Why was it different with China?

Because China was already something of an ethnic identity by the Qing.
Also, because China is fucking huge.

>The formal surrender occurred on September 2, 1945 around 9 a.m. Tokyo time, when representatives from the Empire of Japan signed the Japanese Instrument of Surrender in Tokyo Bay aboard the USS Missouri. Japanese Foreign Minister Shigemitsu signed for the Japanese government, while Gen. Umezu signed for the Japanese armed forces.
>On the Missouri that day was the American flag flown in 1853 on the USS Powhatan by Commodore Matthew C. Perry on the first of his two expeditions to Japan. Perry's expeditions had resulted in the Convention of Kanagawa, which forced the Japanese to open the country to American trade.

It's just a bit of a stupid thread, anon.
Technically swords probably are a lightening hazard, however, being hit by lightening has never, in the whole of human history, been a particularly significant cause of human mortality.
That is why lightening strikes are literally used as a metaphor for something unusual.

As a result, Buddhism is not introduced into Japan and the nation stays stanchly Shinto. Zen Buddhism and attendant arts such as Zen archery and the Samurai ethic never develop.
Thoughts?

Romantic love includes sexual love but sexual love does not necessarily include romantic love.

>sexual love
Are you referring to lust? If not post your definition.
>>
>>1510562
Sex is part of a relationship, you don't marry your friends, but that doesn't mean your attraction to the boy in 1456968534495.jpg is as sacred as romantic love or mentally healthy if that is what you are asking.

When you think about Christian philosophy, you usually think about Augustine and Aquinas.
What are some prominent Protestant philosophers, specially from the Lutheran and Reformed traditions? (I know pic related is neither.)

Since you mention Augustine and Aquinas, I assume you're interested in historical theologians. Here's a list:
John Calvin
Theodore Beza
Blaise Pascal
Jacobus Arminius
John Knox
John Wesley
Jonathan Edwards
If you're interested in contemporary philosophers, Alvin Platinga is probably the biggest.

>>1510146
also George Whitefield

>>1510146
Pascal was Roman Catholic.
