Coolidge because he was like me and he believed in personal liberties

LEAST FAVORITE

the actions against Hereros and Namas in Namibia 1904 were actually quite justified because the indigenous behaved like savage animals

This is entirely your fault for not taking proper care of valuable artifacts. You are a moron and should be ashamed

Why didn't you keep it in a safe?

It was literally framed, with an engraving underneath the leaf stating "ILLUMINATION FROM BOOK OF HOURS, 14th CENTURY GERMANY OR ITALY"

It was probably very rare if it happened ever. Medieval warfare and before was much slower than the rapid warfare of WW1 and on. There also weren't any weapons which could cause a spontaneous change in the senses like artillery could, which is the cause of shellshock.

Shakespeare's Hotspur clearly has it, so the idea was not unknown to a 16th century audience.

You'd just get branded as a coward and get ridiculed or just die when they send you to front lines

>The Gospels were written by Jesus.

I'm not trying to start an atheist vs Christian debate shitfling here, but I had a HS teacher in all seriousness tell the class that all 4 gospels were attributed to Jesus of Nazareth, and looked confused when someone asked why they had 4 different names then.

I am not religious so I am assuming some definitions here. "Faith with works," I am assuming means belief in God through faith with the addition of prayer, following the commandments, going to church, etc. That is, someone who believes works are necessary for salvation would believe that faith is not sufficient for salvation. "Faith without works," I am going to assume means belief in God through faith without the addition of prayer, following the commandments, going to church, etc. That is, someone who believes works are not necessary for salvation would believe that faith is sufficient for salvation.

So to take up the defense of "faith without works" I will propose that faith itself is works. In this way, I would be supporting "faith with works" but in a way very much different than my definition for "faith with works."

Demons believe in God, but they do so for very different reasons than people do. Demons do not need faith as they themselves are proof of God. That is, demons only exist if God exists. I am also assuming that demons have most likely seen God, or the Devil, or have otherwise been involved in things that prove to them that God exists. A person, on the other hand, does not have proof of God. He must tackle his inability to prove God's existence through rationale and empirical evidence. This, I say, is itself a work and worthy of salvation.

Thanks mate, but I doubt my thread is gonna get much replies. As far as I know, the peasantry of the middle ages, who were often ruled by people of a completely different ethnicity, are poorly documented. I wonder if the reason is solely because of Romans documenting the early peoples well, but the documentation falls apart afterwards

Ayy you're right. My bad

Still a funny pic though.

"Progress" is a lie, this is nothing new.

I like Dinosaur Comics

>>1068871

It's a pretty good argument. Progress is a very dubious notion.

The officers were in fact conservative, but lower-rank soldiers were not.

why were socialist ideas welcomed by the lower classes? i don't know it's a mystery

>>1066077
Socialism is a system where upper middle class intellectuals exploit the lower class into bloody revolution to put then in power, then massacre and oppress said lower class. Happened every time. Wish I could say there was an exception. I really do.

A teapot.

>>1062769
Interesring query. Is it a teapot? Or merely an image of a teapot? Moreover, what decides whether something is a teapot? We do? Wouldn't that mean we humans have some mystical power to give something its essence? We say something is and it is.

I'm hungry.
