Well, he's about as much of a philosopher as he is a prophet, I guess. Or a lion tamer.

Sade. When you get down to it, him and Mohammed were in the same ballpark on certain things.

Here's one.

Wanted to destroy non-German nations living in his country by taking away their land, forcing them to become like them. Especially catholics.

Isn't she in California somewhere?

But seriously, this is one fucked up story. She has one chance at life and this happens to her.

>>986849

Supposedly she's in a home for the mentally retarded. That must be an awesome life, going through all that crap for thirteen years only to discover that you'll be spending the rest of your life in the company if literal mental retardation.

>>986863
I guess it is better than what she had previously

Yes.

History teachers have been on both here and /lit/ and said that any discovered history of 4chan use usually results in either a warning or being sacked on the spot.

>>985577

Wouldn't that just apply to using at school?

Start with the Greeks.

No, really. He said himself any student of philosophy should study Aristotle for ten years before taking up modern philosophy.

What >>984696 said.
Once you've sufficiently studied the Greeks (I do think 10 years of Aristotle is an excessive requirement), you can begin with Heidegger's Introduction to Metaphysics.

If you have to ask in English, it's already too late.

>How wealthy precisely did one have to be to become an officer in the Napoleonic Era?
As far as the British Army's concerned not that wealthy, anyone middle-class could get commissioned as a subaltern.
>an estimated 1/20 officers in Wellington's armies was raised from the ranks - so 5% is indeed very small
It's not that much higher than that today. raising officers from the ranks is a rare practice in the vast majority of armies around the world.

>>983311
Really? Why in movies and Sharpe series and whatnot are all the officers super rich douchebags?

Also I know, but today's military schools don't have tuition, and the class-based prestige is not there.

>>983295
In France it was mostly based on merit
Shittons of their greatest generals in that era came from lower class (Murat was a son of inkeeper, Lannes a son of farmer and Ney a son of barrel-cooper)

In Britain, Austria, Prussia, Russia...etc, it was based on wealth and nobility, for they were backward feudal monarchies

Where are the proofs?

Define evil.

(as in, the selfish gene)

I think we need some "Essential reading/watching" stuff on the sticky

The question is, what?

>>990124
Honestly, you should spend your time on something that you can make money with. Being knowledgeable about history is like being good at video games, except more nerdy than geeky.

>but the white trash and hood rats never do
What are wiggers? I think it's more to do with how separate their societies are in this case. The poor minorities and whites of my area seem to be in "the struggle" together. These cross racial conflicts are probably secondary to economic splits.

>>987695

That picture is strange. Why would Muslims be in the IRA?

>>987702
Also, racism and labeling has survived because the ones who got to reproduce were the ones that kicked out the other minorities or people whom were liked by the society. Not trying to go /pol/mode here, but white people wouldn't survive at all if everyone was your average liberal arts professor. As a matter of fact, the only ethnicities that survive are those that stay with their own or absorb minorities into their group.

Pre-industrialization Europeans were black, though.

this

>>986956

No they became black after industrialisation, it was the coal

There's not a lot of informations about such weapons and almost no ryu-ha teach them (and those who pretend to do are a bit obscure). It seems to have been some thing of an exotic weapon, it's talked about because it's weird and all, but overall, nobody used them regularly.
Kanabo and others typically weight 10 pounds or so, it's really much more than needed, even for a large two-hander, practical long swords never weight that much.

Besides, the use of a blunt pole weapon in Japan isn't as big as in Europe, where there is a big tradition of poleaxes. The japanese armor typically was still open enough for sword and glaive cuts or spears thrusts, so the reliance on big blunt weapons didn't really catch on. If needed, you just had a bigger rokushakubo and that's it.

Mallet and the likes were used sometimes, just like in Europe, when you had to make brief fortifications or during sieges, since a big two-handed hammer, as unwieldy as it is, will still fuck you up big time if it connects.

muh rights was already a thing before human rights. catholics just tried to make it into something decent to read, instead of some dumb shit like the us constitution

>>973916
>Isn't it obscenely ironic that after post-war Catholics almost single-handedly brought human rights into fruition the secular world uses 'muh rights' to legalize a bunch of shit Catholics hate? How did this happen?

>This is what catholic actually believe

In the 19th century the church constantly railed against classical liberalism. Even now the church does not accept the classical liberal definition of human rights and as substituted their own

>>973916
>Isn't it obscenely ironic that after post-war Catholics almost single-handedly brought human rights into fruition

America is not the whole world. Also, most Catholics don't mind contraception and evolution, abortion is a big no-no for them but aside from that they're much more in harmony with civilisation than Proddycucks are.

ITT: People on a Japanese cartoon board think they're much more important than they actually are.

>Aquinas and the Cosmological Arguments: Crash Course Philosophy #10
In the same video he includes counterarguments to the arguments, and also, the guy himself is an atheist. But you just wanted another fighting thread, right

He was so fat that he had to be cut out of his room when he died.
