If it's just counting words, then you have all the legal and scientific words from latin that literally have their own dictionaries there's so many.

>>1335902
English is basically:

>Germanic grammar system
>Latin/French Vocab and expressions

>he doesn't recognize all the latin prefixes and suffixes

I don't know but I know there's something important about coal mines, steel manufacturing and party politics involved.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I expected.

good football player

did the US library of congress really think this map was a good idea?

>>1334950

>Look at map
>Assume colours are based on allegiances
>Read Wiki article
>Each colour is its own country

Haha, who thought this shit was a good idea?

>All of North America one country

That's... Feasible, I guess. Most Canadians wouldn't be too happy about that, though.

>All of Western Europe one country

Eh, it's happened before with past empires, so it's not too far out of the question.

>British Commonwealth

Australia would freak out and use guerilla warfare to become independent.


>Union of African Republics

HAHAHAHAHA YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS. This must have invented the trope of alt-history maps having Africa bunched together.

Ameritards not wanting their heads getting hurt by an all too diverse geography where you have to remember that devious states like usbekistan exist?

like a wall of overlapping shields

>>1334829
So no fancy roof like formation above each shield ?
How would they withstand arrows then ?

>>1334837
You don't have to point your shield forward all the time. You can point it up too if that's what's needed.

Battle of Tours should have been won by the armies of Islam.

when will the memes of vikings end? Im fucking sick of them on tv, in the movies, and in video games. NO they were not epic warriors that could destroy any enemy they came across, NO they were not a group feared around the world, they were a band of savages that got BTFO by stone age native americans

But Vikings are like irl Dwarfs and Dwarfs use axes.

>>1334452
Idiot, the movie I saw about them and I think a guy had an axe. Idiot

>>1333525
What a fucking nut job. He had made a pledge to God that he would make a river of blood from the Persian army if he overran it. When he could not find enough people to make a river out of their blood after he defeated them, he killed the captives and opened a dam into their bleeding bodies.

Mental illness isn't contagious. Religion is.

Underrated general

Never lost a single battle or duel, even with the odds stacked against him

Honestly, a lot of the reason Islam spread as it did. Guy was a menace.

Objectivist deism

I like Camus' philosophy, even though I can't really see much difference between it and just plain old existential nihilism. I think existentialism itself proposes engaging in a wilful act of self-delusion that will ultimately leave the individual worse off than if they had just come to terms with, rather than trying to overcome existential nihilism.
I'm not rightly sure I have one. At the moment, Stirnerian egoism seems the most consistent to me, and seems as though it could present a useful framework upon which to build further beliefs.

Decolonisation is a false term. After the countries only gained independence nominally and entered the sphere of influence of either the U.S. or the U.S.S.R. and entered into a long period of proxy wars between the two. The Cold War was cold for Europe, it was hot as fuck for the rest of the world.

>>1333120
Ok, substitute formal decolonisation as the term in that case. Have any good books on the phenomenon?

>no Oman

Oh, man...

>>1332911
Wow this certainly isn't a loaded question anon!

>>1333035

Ironic that you use irony whilst failing to detect the obvious irony in the OP's question.

Gtfo, no one gives a shit.
Do you know what the japs did to many captured POWs?

Read and then tell me you pity the japs

A cheetah can run for twenty seconds before it tires and has to rest. Despite this it's the apex predator of its' enviroment. Because of power

>>1332885
>Because of power

No, because of how it exerts its power; i.e. because of the energy of its force.

Power by itself is useless if it is not converted into energy, and energy by itself is ineffectual if it is not modulated into required force.

He's an ISTP.

give an example of a text by a classical stoic thinker that you have read

Spinozism-Darwinism

>Might is right

>God doesn't care about you or anyone/anything else for that matter

>If you can commit an action and have the capabilities to avoid the subsequent consequences, than you are free to do so

>Morality is but a human concept

>The most important goal for any living being (including humans) is to reproduce and eat

Tequila, sooo not that much. It is underated as hell though.

Tea.
Yes, basically, it shaped the world.

>Non-alcoholic
Dr Pepper. For a soda yes
>Alcoholic
Whisky. Yes. As for mixed drink, if you haven't had an AK47 you aren't living. No. Not talking about the meme bydlo Kalashnikov thing you find on Google images.
