do you ever feel like this government (usa) was imposed on you and as grown so powerful we cannot rid ourselves of it, (in such a large population) and the IRS is racketeering you? How do you feel about the saying "Taxation is Theft".
Like you must make sure these Senators are getting their triple digit salaries or else you will be hunted down. And who has a say in it?
>>918191
I agree with your opinion but what do.
Have fun with the shitposters.
>>918232
that is such a carter thing to say
Having such a a large government apparatus has its pros and its cons but generally the benefits outweigh the risks.
"Taxation is theft" is childish and naive. Grow the fuck up.
I have the theory that people of all ages believed that
a) world is going to end soon
b) world is gonign to end because of human wrongdoing (disrespecting gods/nuclear war/global warming etc.)
Do you think this theory is accurate?
Well considering that it's not rely a theory and more just an an opinion and statement, it's kinda pointless to judge it terms of "accuracy."
>>918148
You don't find this idea until Christianity.
Nuclear war, environmental disaster, etc.are just secular versions of thinking about how we are being punished for our sin.
>>918148
yes, but they were also often right.
We just live in one of all the possible timelines, were we just didn't anihilate ourselves yet. Seriously, we were so fucking "lucky" several times now in regard to the nuclear holocaust, that the many worlds theory becomes more likely every day

Your saying constitution should have been changed a lot more
>>917405
not the same guy.
but to me governance needs to be fluid over time. As societies evolve so must the laws and governing bodies.

Hey /his/,
I am working on a project regarding the manuscript tradition of Einhard's Life of Charlemagne. Both Paul Dutton and Thomas Noble cite Oswald Holder-Egger's version of the manuscript as the critical edition, but the digital Monumenta Germaniae Historica is giving me a dns error every time I attempt to access it. Does anyone know where I can access an alternative copy of Holder-Egger's manuscript?
Thank y'all

Are you looking for the original Latin? If not, any translation is going to have problems. It's free on Project Gutenberg
So how common and accepted was homosexuality in greek times?
pic unrelated.
>>916965
"there was no word for it" meme
Common enough. Accepted depends on time and place. In some cases encouraged, in others highly contentious.
I imagine there was some amount of split on this.
People never change, the world around them changes. I'm sure if 4chan existed in those times you'd have people calling out degeneracy and faggotry.
Is political science an actual science?
Yes. It's of the same sort of science as economics or astronomy in that you can't run experiments.
>>916910
>can't run experiments
>science
pick one.
Also, you most certainly can run astronomy experiments.
Economics, poly sci, not sciences.
Would you ask here if it was?

>so autistic he thought monism meant one thing and only one thing exists
Is Bertrand Russell the broodfather of autism?
>>916637
Where does he say that? Are you sure he wasn't talking specifically about Parmenides?
>>916672
He says he thinks monism is bunk because common sense always told him that there are a plurality of things, not just one thing. I wish I was making this shit up lol
>>916680
He's wrong, you know. It's actually both.
What does he mean by this ?
People become soulless shells of their former selves by age 25. Crushed and defeated by this hellish joke we call life.
I have always dreamed that i will become something great like Caesar or Napoleon when i was a kid... until i went past 24 and facing with cruelty reality.
Same thing Uncle Ed had to say.
>I am certainly of opinion that genius can be acquired, or, in the alternative, that it is an almost universal possession. Its rarity may be attributed to the crushing influence of a corrupted society. It is rare to meet a youth without high ideals, generous thoughts, a sense of holiness, of his own importance, which, being interpreted, is, of his own identity with God. Three years in the world, and he is a bank clerk or even a government official. Only those who intuitively understand from early boyhood that they must stand out, and who have the incredible courage and endurance to do so in the face of all that tyranny, callousness, and the scorn of inferiors can do; only these arrive at manhood uncontaminated.
Which is worse to be unsatisfied or to be disappointed? Would you rather live an unsatisfying life or a life full of disappointments?
I live in both.
I am a disappointment living an unsatisfying life.
