I'm Czech and I know a guy who used to live in Canada in 80's and thought he would stay there, but returned right after the gommie regime fell.

Ukrainian immigration to Canada happened back in Austria-Hungary days since Eastern Galicia was extremely overpopulated and life there was pretty shitty. Ukrainians from the Russian controlled territory migrated Eastwards to Siberia and Far East generally, there was a lot of them back in the day there. Canada was chosen because they could live the same farming life there in exchange for development of Western provinces, and USA was essentially taken by people who had arrived there earlier, like Irish or whatever. Then they managed to settle well enough to form a decent tight-knit community, especially since Galician Ukrainians were very into self-organization back in the day. Then people moved there in waves after Ukrainian People's Republic fell, after WW2 and after the collapse of USSR because there has already been a well-organized helpful community there.

Don't know about Polish emigration but I assume it was something similar. Also which part of Canada are you from, OP?

Ukranians by being white niggers. Polish, no idea.

The bombings on german civilians was pretty horrible. Hamburg, dresded and berlin being the largest I think. children, babies, mothers, burned alive in a blazing inferno.. And after that Bolsheviks came in raping an estimated 2million woman and children.

Stalin is prob the most known evil but Churchill is the lesser known evil

Napoleon, easily.

> Knowledge is something we hope to acquire over a lifetime, and by both knowledge and experience we come to the real goal: to attain wisdom. But wisdom and knowledge are fluid. No one, even someone as brilliant as Socrates stops learning, growing and assimilating information. When we come to think ourselves better than another, smarter, or ingrained in a solid belief system, we limit the lives we live. For what is better than knowing each person and new experience, even those that are seemingly perceived as negative can help us to grow? Each term I start a new class I make sure to tell my students they are there to teach me too, and I am open to learn and grow from each of them. The relationship is based on equality, more than an insufferable sense of superiority. I may have studied longer than they, and have loved longer than them, but what makes me wiser? The only thing that makes me wise is knowing I know nothing, and can continue to learn from each new day.

> Socrates was considered a dissident in Greece in his time. He was condemned as a heretic for that which he taught his students and sentenced to die by ingesting hemlock. It was the answer that the Oracle at Delphi gave when asked who was the wisest man in Athens at the time. The Oracle replied it was Socrates, although he believed this to be a paradox. Those in Athens who believed themselves to be wise were actually not wise, but Socrates who knew he was not wise was the wisest of all for his admission of his ignorance.

> Not wanting to change who he was, Socrates remained true to his beliefs and willingly drank the hemlock that killed him at the end. His death makes him a martyr for his beliefs and opens the door for his student, Plato to write of his thoughts and philosophical discussions that were compilations of possible discussions in his lifetime. When he was on trial for corrupting the minds of the youth of Athens, he used his insights to demonstrate to the jurors that their moral values are not aligned. He reminds them that the material concerns of life should be balanced with concern for ones soul.And it is this soul that is sorely missing from the way people interact in society today as well.

> There is nothing wrong with ego if it is in balance with all other areas of ones life. It is when the ego overtakes our lives completely that we can become arrogant, judgmental and self centered. As in all things we must seek to balance our lives with beauty, humbleness and generosity, compassion and love for our fellow man, and remember that there is much to learn, and even if we lived another 200 years, there is no way we could learn it all.

He was sent by Apollo to serve as a gadfly to the state and rid Athens of democratic corruption. The demagogues thought they had won, but their victory was short-lived. Democracy only appeared again in the degenerate modern age, and so help God it will disappear again.

He's right, but also it depends what you want out of life. Sure, you'll never get to live the patrician lifestyle, but if you work hard and smart you can live a comfy history life (be it as an archeologist, historian, whatever).

Hahaha, you pay for sex and consider it a mark of honor? Any fucking schmuck can throw money around for a blowjob, and on top of that you think Ralph Lauren is the height of fashion? You really must be a spic, Indian or Nigger

Yep, nowadays Napoleon would most likely be a typical btard. Dwarf, ugly, his wife cucked him all the time also he slept only 5 hours a day and there was no internet back then so he had time focused on his studies.
