Pic 2 is a language map of Scotland in the 21th century

So what do you propose, that we rename it to northern England you fucking idiot?

They save face by calling the local variety Scots and claiming it's a different language.

Christians shitpost better.

but anon, atheists don't do the right thing

They taught the same in my schoolbooks and I'm Dutch. Before the civil war the states were referred independently, you'd often find letters which said: we the states of New York, Massachussets, New Jersey etc. After the war it was referred as a single entity that was the federal goverment of the USA.

Idunno about that, but these two always trigger me:

I don't know about the whole political thing (could be, for all I know), but yeah, in antebellum writing, you normally see "these united States", " the various united States", and other such structures where the states in United States were understood in the plural.

Well they certainly didn't win it

Answer me, "What was the Vietnam war" and you answer your own question.

Since the aim was to keep the South Vietnamese nation around, then yes.

Their leadership had good french doctorates.

They gave your average semi-educated Westerner something to know about Cambodia aside from Angkor Wat.

They had a good approach to preventing overpopulation. If the same policies were applied to the most population and highest polluting nations, climate change would no longer be an issue!

I'm certainly no protestant, being buddhist, but I just read James 2 in KJV (yeah I know, but I'm used to it as a literary text), and the protestant argument that works are a handmaiden of faith but not necessary for salvation looks pretty stable. One who has faith will necessarily have works, and the works will be the praxis of the faith, but it is by faith alone blah blah.

Was Luther really that incompetent?

>>515632
So atheists can't do good works?

Luther wanted to remove a lot of books from the NT.

>Luther made an attempt to remove the books of Hebrews, James, Jude and Revelation from the canon (notably, he perceived them to go against certain Protestant doctrines such as sola gratia and sola fide), but this was not generally accepted among his followers. However, these books are ordered last in the German-language Luther Bible to this day.[5]

>So atheists can't do good works?
Neither can heathens or heretics IIRC. Or people you think are outside communion (depending).

bad economic policies
very strict hierarchical social castes based on race (european, mestizo, native...)
And in the case of Brazil: slavery and the fact that they ended up ruled by very unstable governments after they god rid of their emperor, which was actually quite an outstanding individual.

Complete reliance on agriculture and mining as only pillars of the economy.

Having a US backed coup every time you start doing things right

No. We have this thread a zillion times. Please look in the archives or something.

Yes, if the British joined them. Obviously they didn't though.

>Nazis not being/acting like Nazis

Orthodox church in Russia is pretty much owned by Putin, and by agreeing with them you agree with Russian policies then why not learn Russian and travel there?
Catholic popes are shills too, most of time.

You think long and hard about it, and stop yourself before you become another Orthodox tripfag

The Orthodox are culturally minor and xenophobic. Think carefully if you really want to get in on that stuff.

I'd say that most people don't care,

I personally don't give two shits about any wars or casualties (as long as I can't see them to be fair).

I'd also say most people probably feel that the ends justify the means, and that is all the justification they need.

We all have a great deal of empathy, but some are better at ignoring it then others.

Its not and everybody knows it not so they have to invent justifications when needed

>Is it ever appropriate to kill someone outside of self defense?


Sure, if it benefits a stupid woman who got knocked up. And most western society agrees with me.

Nazis in most, if not all alternate history fiction are cartoonesque, comic book villains devoid of any human qualities who talk about gassing Jews and Hitler saluting every 5 minutes. There's even a trope describing this shit: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThoseWackyNazis

And note, this is NOT a nazi apologist post. I feel very little sympathy towards them, but they weren't all Lex Luthors on steroids.

I mean, the things the FBI were doing under Hoover, Patton wanting to join up with the remnants of the SS to wipe out the USSR, widespread acceptance of the superiority of the white race, McCarthy.

>>512658
No, I understand. There's a tendency to "other" Hitler and the Nazis as just being "crazy" or "monsters", and I think that's a very dangerous thing to do since it denies the possibility that a human, just like you and I could be capable of what they did.

That said, really whacky Nazis can be fun when they obviously bear no relation to reality, like Iron Sky or Hellsing Ultimate or Wolfenstien.

This one is a favorite of Reddit. Its like the Ottoman empire and Mughals never existed

Are you a shitposter or are you just devout and insistent on discussing Orthodoxy exclusively?

Why wouldn't they? It's still slave morality.

>>510547
Nietzsche saw slave morality as stemming from resentment, and master morality as stemming from love of life. So no.
