To call it a genocide is a bit of a stretch. It was just an organized mass killing of people from the same ethnicity.

This desu, it was a deluxe-targeted-mass-ethno-homicide, hold the mayo.

It was not a genocide, it was just the mass-killing of an ethnic group.

>One man gets a rifle, the other gets ammo. When the man with rifle dies, pick it up and fight for the motherland!
Now where in hell did this deliciously tasty meme come from? The Soviets had more than enough rifles to arm everyone.

I think it's anti-soviet drivel that spouted up during the cold war and has since been accepted as fact by the west over time.

Why are modern landscapes so tasteless? We used to have our cities be literal works of art, now they're faceless blocks with logo's.. And our suburbs are literal boxes for people.

Celsus writings record that Jesus was fathered by a Roman soldier called Panthera.
So why do Christians believe that Jesus ben Panthera was fathered in pic related way?

I'm sure there's something else Christians do that demonstrates their total lack of understanding the scripture they supposedly fulfill, but I'm having trouble thinking of it.

Another one which isn't on the website which I can think of is the clear link between the appearance of the dove holding the olive branch in Genesis 8:11 which symbolizes a new beginning for mankind following the subsiding of the waters after the Flood and the dove identified as the Holy Spirit in the Gospels which descended on Jesus Christ following His baptism. But since that's from a "non prophetic part of the Tanakh" I should just ignore it all, huh? All Scripture is breathed out by God (2Tim3:16-17) therefore every single passage is revelant including those which you deem irrelevant.

The reason why promiscuity is bad is this: when a woman is promiscuous she gains a reputation for being such. Men view her as promiscuous and begin to desire her sexually (if she is attractive or known for being good in bed). Thus, she has degraded herself and turned herself into a sexual object because now men primarily view her sexually; she is an object of their sexual desire and primarily a means of fulfilling their lusts. This not the men's fault since they are naturally inclined to have shallow lustful desires. Essentially, promiscuity serves as a marker of a sexual object for men looking for quick or easy gratification.
When a man is promiscuous he degrades himself to a slave to his sexual desires. Rather than pursuing meaningful endeavours, he devotes his time to chasing women and turns himself into a sexual animal. This also applies for women.
This is not to say that all sex is bad but sex outside of meaningful relationships is by nature self-degrading and animalistic. Some people might retort by saying that there is nothing wrong with giving in to our animalistic desires but this is not true because a hallmark of humanity and human civilisation is rising above animal desires, showing self-restraint and preferring more meaningful pursuits instead. For more "practical" minded people, promiscuity is bad because it is a waste of time and energy; all that effort and time could have been spent working, enjoying art, or doing something meaningful and useful.
Thoughts? Critiques of this argument?

Women get pregnant when they have sex.
>>
>>1280875
Also this. You get teenage mothers, fatherless children, shotgun weddings, and abortions as a result of sex but contraception is eliminating this threat, although not everyone uses it.
>>
>>1280874
tl;dr: promiscuity is a degrading waste of time and sex should be reserved for meaningful relationships

I just realized
That sentience is a death sentence
i mean,
reality is configured by how we percieve
and since we're aware and ect we're devolving getting almost dumber
our brains smaller
and we process less
autism used to not exist
until society developed
we're becoming a species of that to our own doing is "Evolving" and having less kids, Sentience
is almost a deathbed and since we have
self recognition
we're doomed we devolve because lower birth rates are tied to evolution
or atleast
human evolution so, becoming dumber if you can understand
is evolution
the smarter you are the less likely you are to reproduce.
because you ahve society
and want to function in it
and less concerned wiht reproducing
so,
not only that
but the way we're doing life
is making our brains smaller
so more people with mental disabilites + smart people
= doomed species i mean
after 1960
growht rate % fell through the clouds
and plummeted
in usa
most peoplea re white
but most children
arn't
the poorer
and less socially high
the more likely you are to have kids
whites used to be 25% now we are 10% japan
is also smart
with no immigrants
and pop %
is going down
they have lowest pop growth % and sex rates

Why do people say Socrates was the first philosopher when there were plenty of pre-socratic philosophers. Both in Greece and abroad.

Because I have never heard anyone call Socrates the first philosopher.

>>1280471
Pre-Socratic philosophers weren't really philosophers because they didn't think about things in a systematic and cohesive way that we would recognise as philosophy. They were 'thinkers'.
Socrates was the first philosopher because he established the foundations of the discipline by pointing out how flimsy the intellectual foundations of the pre-Socratics were, and in doing so asked the fundamental questions that form the basis of philosophy.

Sup /his/
I'm from /fit/ and was wondering about ancient Greeks and their's training methods.
What was their's training methods, how did they prepare for warfare and the Olympic games?
Did they trained mainly with their own bodyweight?
Also general history and fitness/sports thread.

The Pope is an elected official, famalam. You don't have to like it, it's just how it is.
But as someone who is Christ on Earth, don't you think it'd be a little odd if Christ wasn't a "Muslim sympathizer?" (i.e. has empathy for displaced people)

Mussolini's quote in pic related was made years after he'd made disparaging remarks about Slovenes and publicly endorsed the idea of an Aryan race.
Did Mussolini ever relax/change any of Italy's repressive policies toward minorities after making the statement in pic related?

>You can find men who have gone so far as to profess wisdom and yet maintain that one should not offer violence to one’s own life, and hold it accursed for a man to be the means of his own destruction; we should wait, say they, for the end decreed by nature.
