Children have a right to work for pay if they want.
Laws that kept children out of factories then keep teenagers out of air conditions offices today.
>>1482549
What would they do in air-conditioned offices? They can't even reach the top shelves in the archive room or press the coffee button.
Teenagers are already allowed to work.
When did you begin to realise that China is the most illustrious, most brilliant and most beautiful civilization of all times?
>>1482335
When I was reading the Discourses on Salt and Iron and I realized they had reached Early Modern-levels of civilization 2000 years ago, and again when I read it had reached an harmonious economic equilibrium 500 years ago.
To be fair it went to the dogs soon afterwards.

Were the Prophets Sunnis, or Shiites?
>>1482108
What memery is this? Sunni and Shia schism occurred after Muhammad's death
It's like asking if the apostles were catholic or orthodox
>>1482117
They would have to be one or the other, since the schism was on doctrinal grounds.
Can logic be used to prove any belief?
>>1481915
Depends on what logic you are using desu.
No.
I mean, you could use the principle of explosion to prove any statement, but as you're presupposing the consistency of two contradictory statements for your proof you've kind of cut the branch of common sense out from under yourself.
>>1481915
No. There is no conceivable way past the problem of induction, logic is only valid if you accept it as valid a-priori.
There's a lot about history I don't know about can someone spare the time to teach me something interesting about the past i would truly be grateful if someone would take the time :)

When will human civilization end?
Nobody knows.
Never.
>>1481530
Hopefully this. We will figure out how to prolong life, even that of the universe. Long enough for us to create another space for us to exist which caters to our every need to exist for a literal eternity in bliss.
I have a simple question.
Is there any descendents of any byzantine royals left in the world, and who has the best claim to the throne?
>>1481513
Conceivably a few of the Romanov pretenders, by marriage. I forget how, though.
>>1481513
My ancestors were minor Byzantine nobility. I have a few friends who hail from the "bigger" families too.
Me.
My claim is as valid as Justinian's. Show some god damn respect.

Welsh stories, characteristics of Native American tribes, and accounts of early American settlers all point to the idea that the Welsh sailed to and settled in the New World in the 12th century, via modern day Mobile Bay in Alabama.
T/his/ is my question: Did the Welsh sail to the new world and settle, leaving behind artifacts and changing native tribes through their interaction? If not, how can we explain the seemingly Welsh artifacts, and characteristics of tribes like the Mandans?
Genetics. Do. Not. Lie.
No they did not.
>>1481212
Have you considered Native Americans crossed the ocean and settled Wales, which is why the Welsh are so retarded?
>>1481225
Is it possible that the small number of Welsh descended Natives died out with the Mandans after a small pox epidemic, and that there are none surviving today, so we don't have genetic information from them? Or that they were so small in number that most Welsh genetic traits were lost through breeding with pure-blooded Natives?
How will future historians interpret the Brony phenomenon?
A 2011 cultural phenomenon

Was he based?
>>1480875
No.
He was honestly an unimpressive man. He was merely just another entitled military general who initiated a civil war solely because he believed - as all usurpers and warlords do - that he somehow had a more legitimate claim to the title of Augustus than others. In the end, he was a man who was exactly like his opponents such as Maxenius or Licinius, and even like the very people who caused the Crisis of the Third Century, remembered only because as history would have it, he emerged the victor of the civil war.
There are much better Emperors: Octavius, Hadrian, Marcus Aurelius, Julian, Basil the Second...
