The Lions contacted me about 3 years ago on Facebook, asking if I'd be willing to come and train them on demolitions usage
>how much are you paying?
>we feed and shelter you, provide equipment as needed
>so, nothing?
>we are a small orginization, this is a volunteer position
>look man, last time I volunteered for anything I got blown up 3 times and had to have a rod placed in my chest, I think I'm good
>it would not be combat postion, only training
>yeah well I helped train Iraqi Army before and look how well that worked out

I guess he got the hint after that because he quit replying

I immediately took down all my pictures of myself in uniform though.

What's going on in Vladivostok? Was it a massive front?

>>3251869
Thats where the USA and Britain invaded.

If nothing else I have to hand it to the Soviets for keeping their retarded meme country in one piece for so long

Louisiana, or at least the southern part of the state, was very franco oriented up until like the 1930s. My whole grandparents generations first language was French. Their parents and everyone before that never even learned english. And we are only here in the first place because of ethnic cleansing by the eternal anglo from Canada. I guess most of the French colonist didnt really go there because it was the wildest of the wild west at the time, and only people in the southern port of new orleans or french fur trappers way up in like Montana ever ventured there.

>>3251739
Can you explain this image to an anglo? What makes Central Louisiana and Acadiana better than the other three areas? I've heard New Orleans is nice in parts but has been ruined by gang violence

>>3251749

Central Louisiana-This is where Huey Long and the Long dynasty is from

Acadiana-this is the heart of Cajun population and culture in Louisiana. Everything that makes Louisiana Louisiana,food, culture, ect is from here

Baton Rogue-our capital and where LSU is. Its full of shitty fratbros and blacks. This is sort of an inside joke for anyone who lives there.

New Orleans-pretty self explanitory. full of black gangs and crime. Its LITERALLY a grimy, sleazy gross city that has an auroma thats something of a mix between cheap cigar smoke, stale beer, piss, and vomit. While the culture here is also great and a bit different from Acadiana, it is being "Disneyfied" for lack of a better word if that makes sense.

North Louisiana-The people here dont even seem like they are from Lousiana. They have typical anglo names and speak like they are from Mississippi or Arkansas. while cajuns are a distinct sort of redneck, these are just your generic kind of redneck

all are the chidlren of God. That said, if one were to die, it would be just.

What is "Christianity".
What the pope says? What the bible says? What your parents tell you? What you want to believe? What Christ or God tell you in your dreams?

Most would argue that the Bible is the authority, but it's 2 books which are in essence opposites. Wrathful god and loving god.
You can justify anything with religion. Example: Some say gays are evil because it quite literally says so in the bible, others say the bible teaches us to love so we should also love gays.
In the end people mostly say "you have interpret the Bible and it's metaphors", which means you can make it mean anything you want.

There is no such thing as a "Christian", there's only your specific kind of Christianity.

In the west, we tend to think of modern perspective painting as a Renaissance phenomenon. I'm unclear on non-western art.

That isn't 3D, that's just a hexagon with 3 lines pointing to the center

>>3251535
The illusion of 3D is what OP is talking about. Old art looks notoriously flat, so I understand the source of the question.

If he could establish a sustained regime, it would have fundamental consequences:
-administrative language changed to French, possibly leading to situations like Belgians (Dutch capital Brussels slowly turning Francophone due to French administrators and rulers)
-Possibly no American entry in WWI as the Zimmermann telegram would never be sent to the Mexican government
-possible additional French expansion in Central America
-possible English / other colonial expansion and recolonization of South America (e.g. Chile and the UK)
-increased European migration and investment in Mexico

>>3251457
Most of these sound like good things, particularly increased investment in Mexico.

Shit just got real

Based Iran supporting its Armenian kinsmen against the vile T*rks and Azerbaijani serfs. And the Russians supporting both sides.

>>3251428
Russians provided weapons to armenia but recently have been trying to warm relations with both of them go get them into their Eurasian Union project.

>>3251428
NK is autonomous oblast within Azeri SSR, with Armenian population, within a traditionally Armenian region (70% at the beginning of the conflict). They vote to declare independence from Azeri SSR, Azerbaijan responds with ethnic cleansing and so the Armenians revolt. Soviet Union collapses and Azerbaijan and Armenia become independent. NKR continues war with support from Armenian diaspora (material and personnel). Turkey amasses troops on Armenia's border and prepares invasion, tying up most of Armenia's military to border defense and making it impossible for them to support NKR. Russia does not want a NATO state to invade one of its former republics and so sends troops to secure Armenian border, allowing Armenia to send troops to NKR. Fighting ends with liberation of Artsakh (NKR and surrounding Armenian populated lands) and a ceasefire still in effect, with a major violation occuring during the 4 Day War in April 2016, initiated by Azerbaijan most likely to stress test their military, play with new toys, and reduce political unrest at home (AZ is a weak dictatorship propped up by oil money, oil prices decline, etc.).

Armenia entered the war with significant material and economic disadvantages as well as an economy in the gutter (an earthquake in 1988 destroyed Armenia's industrial center). Almost no planes, almost no tanks and a few APCs. Azerbaijan on the other hand had more troops, much more armor and an actual air force, as well as a shitload of oil to prop up their economy.

Because they're jaded thirty, or even forty year olds that have stopped giving a fuck about the site a long time ago. There's also like, 12 of them in total.

Of course they had merchants, do you think they sustained themselves by raiding? Trading would have been preferred by most people instead of raiding, why kill trading partners when you can just return the next year and have a steady source of income? They traded with everyone from the Natives of Canada to the Buddhists of the Silk Road.

From reading the few sagas I have, the general impression I'm left with is that generosity and hospitality were pretty big deals.

Norse culture encouraged the art of poetry, and it's because of all of these poems that were remembered across the centuries that we know a lot about Norse mythology (at least in comparison to other European pagan religions).

Hygiene was also something they were really autistic about and it reminds me of what this English scribe wrote: It is reported in the chronicle attributed to John of Wallingford that the Danes, thanks to their habit of combing their hair every day, of bathing every Saturday and regularly changing their clothes, were able to undermine the virtue of married women and even seduce the daughters of nobles to be their mistresses.

no evidence of commerce exists

If youre a retarded atheist and not even agnostic maybe.

Without religion there would be no civilization you understand that?

How does this refute my hypothesis? It's an unrelated topic Some viruses can be accidentally helpful

>>3250967
False. We'd have more existential crises and use of escapism to get away from said crises though.

>>3250911

yes

and then it will end, but it will be nice for a while

>"barbarians"

yes, it is naive to think they could live in peace forever, even if you had 2 benevolent leaders who hammered out a peace, their successors couldn't be counted on to maintain it

the true heroes of this age were people like Hannibal who decided it is time for a showdown to settle the matter

Maybe it was done because it's just human nature to always want more, more land, gold, slaves, people, cities, etc. Without these conquests, rome wouldn't have lasted as much as it did.

It's just human nature to conquer. And thanks to this we are where we are.
