Most overrated Prime Minister?
25 years rule, so no Major, Blair, Brown, or Cameron
British PM? Then it's got to be Lloyd George. Loved because he "fought for underpriviledged." I think this fact alone is why no one can ever say anything bad about the guy. If his method to achieve the goal was the right one.
Besides he wanted the Bolsheviks to conquer half of Europe because he hated every other country there especially if it didn't exist before 1918. He probably believed it's still the same old Russia.

Well /his/, does anybody here know anything about who ruled japan around 1550-1599, how it was ruled (i've seen that it was split up in smaller "states" but who controlled what?), and what characterized japan at that time?
thanks in advance.

It was a shogun named Omae Okama.

>Eastern
When it first spawned, it was the eastern half of the now split Roman Empire.
>Roman
The capital of the Roman Empire had been moved to Constantinople, and the ERE was ruled by a Roman Emperor.
>Empire
It was a group of peoples ruled over by an emperor, so it was by definition an empire.
Which is it, /his/?

Did he ruin 3000 years of history?
>>948812
Nah. Industrialized Western Intrusion meeting Stagnant Qing China did.
Chinks became critical of their traditional culture. Mao & the Reds just took it a step further.
Remember: Communism is Eurocentric.
>>948812
We Wuz Qingz empire did. He ruined any chance of a restoration (however unlikely..) under a Nationalist govt tho.
Yes.

Probably the most advanced indigenous American society, many of their technologies baffled the Spanish. They were a huge, centrally planned economy that somehow produced huge surplusses of everything, and had civil engineering projects on a scale Europe hasn't seen since the Roman Empire. They were also a brutal authoritarian regime with a pants on head retarded leadership structure where there were no clear rules of succession, and dead emperors were treated like they were still alive and their mummies "gave orders" through priest "interpreters." Naturally there was massive civil war fairly often.

First time poster; inquiry:
Do you guys think world peace and political altruism are attainable goals? What do you think would be required for humanity as a whole to care for each other as much as an individual does itself?
Is it even attainable with human nature being the way that it is?
>>948009
>human nature
Ah, you spooked me
No, Liberalism and Idealism are great modern delusions.
Keep trying though!
>>948026
Ok, lets say that years in the future humanity and robots begin to blue the lines what can be called "Human."
For example, humans begin to use technology to augment themselves, eventually leading to something like a computer chip being "installed" into their brains to damped violent tendencies in criminals and mentally unstable people.
Lets hypothesize that the trend catches on and humanity begins to implant these chips into their young. Eventually leading to cybernetic enhancements and artificial behavior modification becoming common-place.
If humanity rids itself of their "human-like" tendencies, would it be possible then?
What are some of the biggest broken promises that leaders have made in history?
(remember to keep it before 1991)
That something could be holy, roman, and an empire.

How do we end the dumb meme of ancient/Achaemenid Persians being seen and categorized as "weak" as warriors?
>>947861
Are they seen as such? They claimed a lot of clay.
>>947864
In the West? Yes. Pretty sure if you try to take the Persians side in the Persian Wars, people will just keep bringing up Thermopylae and Alexander the Great. At least that's my antecedent experience when it comes to them.

I'm sure i'm not the first to suggest this, but what if the true answer to the universe is the life of every individual. Let us consider it this way, if you're not alive, you're (obviously) not able to perceive the universe, and thus, the universe does not exist.
>>947494
The universe doesn't have an answer; it's not a question
Clearly this is a conjecture, there isn't enough information for a meaningful answer.
But it's the same thing as the "if a tree falls in the woods"
I personally believe that something unobserved exists but if it is unable to make an effect then it is equivalent to being nonexistent.
>>947548
Really, when it comes to philosophical answers to the universe, everything is a conjecture. Really, i doubt humans will ever have enough knowledge for a final answer to be brought to light.

Are there still American POW's in Laos and Vietnam?

A top American intelligence official said today that two sets of large symbols etched into the ground in Laos in 1973 and 1988 were almost certainly human-made signs intended to send a message. But the official said experts had not been able to prove or disprove that they were distress signals from stranded American prisoners of war.
In the first case, the figures "1973" or "1573" with a "TH" or "TA" were spotted, apparently by satellite, gouged into a field in the Plain of Jars in May and June 1973, after all American prisoners were reported returned. In January 1988, Central Intelligence Agency surveillance picked up a "USA" dug into a rice field near Sam Neua, along with what was possibly a "K" made of rice stalks.
Experts said the could not rule out that these were attempts to display coded symbols that American pilots had been taught to use to attract attention if they were captured.
"These symbols were clearly intended to send a signal to someone above, and we cannot explain them today," said the official, Duane Andrews, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence. He was testifying before the Senate Select Committee on P.O.W.-M.I.A. Affairs at the start of two days of hearings, some in closed session, on intelligence-gathering and covert operations involving missing Americans.
Most overrated president?
