Castration shouldn't be necessary if you're able to develop enough self control.

>>1319263
why the fuck would I do that? not going to do that just to avoid thought crimes. I have enough self-control to not fuck kids

>>1319263
I think of beating the shit out of people constantly and while I have self control to count to 10 and not swing on them, I don't think to cut my arms off.

You know, victimizers are victimizers, and I'm not entirely sure every rapist is even sexually interested specifically in the person they victimize. I don't think "all child rapists are pedophiles", I think many are people who want to hurt something inside themselves or something inside someone else, or just to hurt people. I think we will never know to what prevalence exists sexual feelings toward young people because the stigma is so strong, someone would be committing literal social suicide to own up to it.

no. Amen is from the Hebrew, literally "Amen". It's not an emotionally charged issue.

Literally Zeitgeist-tier rumors. >>1319266 has it right.

Its literally in all Abrahamic shit prayers. It simply means "so be it.

What do you mean, like, drugs and M16s, or what?

There are better films than Forrest Gump that depict the American soldiers' perspective of Vietnam. Platoon is good, Hamburger Hill, Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket, Jacob's Ladder.

>>1319209
yes

The Germans were allied to Japan...

>>1319171
>Why did Germany declare war on the United States after Pearl Harbor?
Because unlike the rest of Europe, Germany actually respects their alliances?

>>1319171
I know that Germanotard mind has troubles with comprehending basic things like "not stabbing everybody in the back on every possible occasion" but this was one rare occasion where Hitler kept his promise. He was allied with Japan, so he had to do it.

Well if you didn't knew phyrric victory comes from Pyrrhus of Epirus in the first Punic war who always won the battle but could not reinforce in the way Rome could, so his casualties meant more to him than e Roman casualties Medano to the Romans

Pyrrhus' invasion of Italy

pick one

No, because it demonstrates that your universal truths aren't universal at all.

By picking and choosing you're essentially debunking your own claim to absolute truth

>>1318834
What if one didn't have a problem with that and thought like many others that no major world religion has it completely right?

But that's just a bunch of snowflake nonsense, innit? After all, theres such a variety of 5 religions to choose from!

I have no respect for anyone who "chooses" a religion like they're a catalog

Great response, thanks anon, you sure did save me

No idea what it is, but it makes me want to replay shadow of the colossus.
Its probably just random kitschy pottery bit or something a random incense company made. Good luck finding out anything

Good night, sweet prince.

Isnt it still alife as a church language for the christian egyptians?

>>1319049
Yes
They're ~10% of the Egyptian population

This was actually a Danish Government philosophy for a while.

Religious freedom is atheism.

I don't speak enough danish though to find the names and texts you want.

From the looks of it those people were spot on about religious freedom .

No. If you believe that only God can pass judgement than you have no power to tell others to believe in things they don't want to. That's a part of Christianity and Islam from what I've read. People obviously just ignore things they don't like.

>>1318299
From a Christian perspective there isn't anything wrong with freedom of religion, there is no political mandate to enforce Christianity as the state religion anywhere in the New Testament. I think a Christian theocracy would be the ideal for a true Christian, but a state which allows freedom of religion is committing no sin, nor is a politician who believes all people ought to at least have the right to associate with whatever religion they wish to associate with. Christianity is almost entirely apolitical sans a few things that have to do with usury. A Christian can, by political persuasion, disallow freedom of religion, but does not have to.

This is in stark contrast to Islam which demands that all believers seek to instate Shariah. Not obeying Shariah is a sin to a Muslim, as is failing to enforce it, so they can not and will never tolerate freedom of religion in their nations because that is not a part of Shariah. At the very least non-Muslims must pay a special tax and are afforded fewer rights than Muslims.

Freedom of religion is a secular ideal, but is perfectly compatible with Christianity, and not compatible at all with Islam.

The first order of business was deciphering the text. Since it was hidden in a mirror, an anon had the brilliant idea that the numbers were actually supposed to be mirrored. Once this was done, the little arrow shown going over 6 spaces was guessed to be indicative of a simple Caesar cipher. Shortly afterwards, this message was posted.

I've got a summary of some other facts which I'll post at the end of this dump, but for the most part this message seems correct, considering the other clues on the note which I'll post next.

>>1318173
It's a formulaic fugue, dumbass. Of course /x/ can't figure it out, because fucking aliens, and /sci/ probably completely overlooked the simplicity of the answer.

Next up, the letters and numbers underneath the arrow. These were solved in a similar manner, although they were not mirrored. So just a simple Caesar cipher and we got Latitude and Longitude coordinates. I'm not exactly sure why they aren't mirrored, but that's the only way they line up reasonably close with any sort of landmass.

Is this a real question? Not sure if trolling.

Egypt was notoriously easy to conquer after it had already been going for about 2500 years.

China was also notoriously humiliated by Western powers at about that age.

Western civilization has been going for about that time too (depending on when you start counting) and is proving to be notoriously weak nowadays, with the only real reason it hasn't been invaded being that one of its out-shoots is merely about 300 years old.

Maybe it's just the lifespan of civilizations. Keep in mind that, for all intents and purposes, Egypt was Greece's Greece. Look at Greece nowadays.

>>1319469
>western civilization is notoriously weak these days

If you live in the real world and not /pol/ you'd notice that the West is more powerful than any other civilisation in the world, economically, militarily, culturally, politically, and so on. In absolutely no way comparable to Egypt or China in the decades you talk about. And Chinese civ had been going for 5,000 years in the late 19th century so take your teleological 2,500 mysticism and eat shit with it :/

wow fucking racist pay reparations

Pretty sure it was tributary or something similar to Charlemagne.

Also it was christian and relatively irrelevant so not really a prioritary target.

Other anons may know more about the subject.

So Brittany = French Wales?

>>1317749
Pretty much.

When you're outbuilt about 8:1 on most relevant classes of ships, against an opponent who tends to build better ships and planes than you've got, it almost always ends badly.

inferior technology, inferior industrial output, inferior leadership, inferior spirit

>>1317724
Outnumbered, outgunned, fighting on multiple fronts, inferior industrial base, inferior material base, inferior technology, outdated tactics, extreme distance from allies
