great man. probably the humblest and most noble of all the business tycoons.

The financiers of invention deserve credit too.

I actually think Edison is underrated in most circumstances. He's responsible for driving a lot of the experimentation that happened in Menlo Park. The pioneering of the organized research lab, arguably the sole catalyst for the huge leap in technology of the 20th century, allowed people like Tesla who would otherwise go unnoticed to thrive in an organized enviornment.

He made science profitable. Inventions that were used as parlor tricks in the past became the backbone of the modern day economy.

The people who demonize Edison often underestimate the impact, as well as the innovation, of his achievements. Was he wrong about AC? Absolutely. But his accomplishments extend beyond that.

That's only speculation.

You could look at the Holstein-Stadel and say that they were all furries.

The KGB funded both white supremacist grounps and civil rights groups in an effort to create a race war.

Other than that, it was the continuation of a historical process that had been going on since reconstruction.

No, they were detrimental to civil rights by inflaming extremist elements among the black community.

green and blue can be quite problematic colours. People often mix them up and many cultures don't distinguish between them, we obviously don't know much about the picts but in Irish, green and blue usually weren't distinguished until medieval times. Also the same word "glas" means green in Irish and blue in welsh

The construction of Stonehenge has been attributed to giants who sailed from Africa bringing their skills with them. The presence of giants may not necessarily be a figment of the imagination. Giants have been mentioned in the Bible. They was a Black Canaanite race called Anakim.

The Roman historian, Tacitus, mentioned "the dark complexion and unusually curly hair" of the Silures, or Black Celts who he believed migrated there from Spain. When Julius Caesar invaded Britain he met these Blacks. Julius Caesar's army was itself composed of prominent Blacks. In fact Blacks have served as Roman emperors on a number of occasions.

The Scots are themselves of Black origin. Ireland was once known as Scotia Magna and Scotland was called Caledonia until about the third century A.D. when a tribe invaded Caledonia and the name was changed to Scotia. The Irish are said to have derived the name Scotia from the daughter of an Egyptian Pharaoh named Scota.

Prussia vs Austria, France, Russia and Sweden in Europe

Plus Britain cowardly outnumbering the French in North America to steal their colonies while they were busy in Europe instead of helping its ally Prussia

Ally Britain, feel the pain

How did Brits and specially Prussians manage to win this? In the previous conflicts of the century France managed to defeat most European powers alone.

The Bible says you shouldnt loan money with interest, so Im pretty sure thats why Jews were the moneylenders in Europe

"They (the Jews) work more effectively against us than the enemy's armies. They are a hundred times more dangerous to our liberties and the great cause we are engaged in. It is much to be lamented that each state, long ago, has not hunted them down as pests to society and the greatest enemies we have to the happiness of America."

Source: Maxims of George Washington by A.A. Appleton & Co.

As the American colonies rose in revolt against political oppression occasioned by the attempt of Jewish banking houses in Europe to consolidate their economic foothold in the New World, no man among the Founding Fathers was more alert to the designs of international Jewry than that shrewd elder statesman of the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin. Perhaps Ben Franklin's most damning indictment of Jewry was contained in his famous prophecy at the Constitutional Convention of 1787 in Philadelphia. In one of the most anti-Jewish utterances of all time, he declared:

"I fully agree with General Washington, that we must protect this young nation from an insidious influence and impenetration. That menace, gentlemen, is the Jews. In whatever country Jews have settled in any great number, they have lowered its moral tone; depreciated its commercial integrity; have segregated themselves and have not been assimilated; have sneered at and tried to undermine the Christian religion upon which that nation was founded by objecting to its restrictions; have built up a state within a state; and when opposed have tried to strangle that country to death financially, as in the case of Spain and Portugal.

Analysing a source for quality depends on the purpose for which you're going to use the source.

Opinions should be judged by the opinion itself, not where the person is from. The intelligence of a person usually draws them to certain places. That's why you generally get more intelligent posts from certain boards over other ones.

Hating on Vatican II is an easy way to prove you're "more catholic" without actually trying to live the life Jesus wants for you, which is hard.

Humor can be used to feel out how some members of the society felt about how things were without having to read long critical essays or criticisms of the government or some other institution. It can also be used to as a form of escapism or in some cases a defense mechanism from highly stressful environments.

It wasn't. The Crash of 2008 was way worse. What prolonged was FDR's retarded policies.

>>422143
An economy way more dependent an credit and international trade that moved faster than policy makers knew had to deal with. Bank runs and panics were no longer local but national and increasing tariffs did nothing to stimulate domestic business but shut down global trade. Governments really had no idea what policies could effectively mitigate these things

I may be wrong, but it seems to be the first major crash, so there was an element of expectation in the 2008 crash that there wasn't in the Great Depression. Without the element of expectation, it's harder to rally together solutions, assure the public, and fix the problem.

Shit someone post the /lit/ copypasta

>claims to love it
>can't be bothered to do it

Yeah, you're just pretending to like it because it makes you seem smarter/better to yourself. You're actually just lying to yourself and don't really want to do it, afterall. If you loved it, you'd be doing it.

Fraud.
