In daycare. It's funny, I never learned about 9/11 until the next year once I started school.

One of the more shaky alternate claimants, telling he is the Brazilian one.

It was an incremental invention that can't be attributed to a single inventor, but to several who each made a breakthrough. Those inventors are:

- Félix du Temple
- Jean-Marie Le Bris
- Alphonse Pénaud
- Clément Ader
- Alberto Santos-Dumont
- Gabriel Voisin

It means that they don't want to return ancient Egyptian artifacts, despite being asked and harangued by Egypt (or more accurately, Zahi Hawass).

Kowloon Walled City

Here is a cutaway... it's an interesting piece of Hong Kong's history. Being neglected by the governments of both Britain and China, the slum grew into a horribly packed and self-governed place.

Look into it more online or at your local library. I am far from an expert on it

It means absolutely nothing. This guy just says stuff that's kind of convoluted and people eat it up as deep and philosophical. Nothing he says is worth the pixels it's written in.

Do you want Finno-Korean hyper war threads? This is how you get them.

Because until about 10.000 years ago the climate unsuitable for us to start investing in anything like agriculture. When the climate began to change too more stable seasons we began to settle down and become able to build larger monuments of stone.

If only Stalin lived to expose the NWO, he was one of the last leaders of the Greatest Generation.

Sad that they poisoned him before he could make light of it...

Yes. It wasn't his job but he(personally) shot some German rocket scientist working for Egyptians and all of this was arranged by mossad.

Killing 11 million of his workers.

Not advancing to Msocow as quickly as possible.
Not liberating the Ukranians and genocidi get them later.
Not coordinating attacks with the japs
Not killing all of the Brits at Dunkirk
Bombing London instead of keeping pressure on the R.A.F

Also I wouldn't say he was doomed at the start of the war, it was winnable but there was no margin for error there.

His war goals were quite insane.
He was basically just a bitchy art-student with a whole lot of silly ideas and little care for practicality.

> In my opinion, Hitler was doomed since day 1 of invading Poland.
Nah. That was still cool.

The problem was dealing with the Allies. Soviets would've never attacked first (USSR expected Germans and Allies to ally against them).

I'd say, declaring Poland non-existent was a bad move.


>>968854
> Not advancing to Msocow as quickly as possible.
If Germans would've concentrated attack on Moscow, they would've forced to leave Ukraine unconquered in 1941-42.

> Not liberating the Ukranians and genocidi get them later.
Not an option. Nazism, remember?

The Wiki article on that statue seems to suggest that it was of a slave, who fought for the amusement of his masters

>Who do you think changed the sport of boxing the most?
Daniel Mendoza for sure.

>Before Mendoza, boxers generally stood still and merely swapped punches. Mendoza's style consisted of more than simply battering opponents; his "scientific style" included much defensive movement. He developed an entirely new style of boxing, incorporating defensive strategies, such as what he called "side-stepping", moving around, ducking, blocking, and, all in all, avoiding punches. At the time, this was revolutionary, and Mendoza was able to overcome much heavier opponents as a result of this new style. Though he stood only 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm) and weighed only 160 pounds (73 kg), Mendoza was England's sixteenth Heavyweight Champion from 1792 to 1795, and is the first middleweight to ever win the Heavyweight Championship of the World. In 1789 he opened his own boxing academy and published the book The Art of Boxing[3] on modern "scientific" style boxing which every subsequent boxer learned from.

Boxing went from "punch the other guy in the head until he gives up" to the very athletic and footwork oriented sport we know today. Mendoza (quite literally) wrote the book on bobbing and weaving. Muhammad Ali was famous for utilizing this sort of boxing in the modern era but he owes a lot to Mendoza.

>who
The British, they really codified the rules and guidelines of pugilism.

>greatest
Pound for pound, probably sugar Ray Robinson. "Ali/Tyson was the GOAT" is a meme.

>my favorite
Max Baer

>how to keep ahead of MMA

The biggest thing mma has over boxing (I'm a huge fan of MMA admittedly) is that there are more "brutal" ways to win (knees to the face, body slams, no standing 8, certain submissions etc) and carnage is what sells. There is no shortage of talent in boxing today, just in my opinion there's simply too many meaningless belts and undeserving champs. It needs to keep being more exciting,

it's inevitable UFC becomes more popular. It simply appeals to a casual audience much more than boxing does.

"Dogs of War" by James Reston Jr...though its written in the style of a fictional story it uses actual sources. More of an entertaining read though

The idea that God could express anything is suspect.

Who among us can claim to know God's motivations?

>>963711
Why would God have motivations?
