ITT: Post a picture of your local Cathedral. Yes, denomination matters.
Luckily, living near Jerusalem, I have the Holy Sepulcher as mine. It's got 6 different denominations - Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Armenian Orthodox, Coptic, Ethiopian Orthodox, and Syriacs. They've brought all their unique art, chanting and architecture to their various parts of the Church.

What do you know about Baltic states and their history(Latvia, Lithuania aka brother states ^^). The things you like about them, things you hate. Historical bits etc.

Basically they were Romuva for ages, then the Polish king asked some Christian orders to crusade them and Prussia was invented, as was the Livonian order which as far as I know was the genesis of Latvia - which is also like half protestant because of Sweden.
Lithuania came to be ruled by the king of Poland as the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth. But at that point the Lithuanians conquered so many Slavs that the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was basically a proto-Belarus.
Then the Russians ruined everything.
>>
>>268780
To add to that, Lithuania rose mainly due to its good army and ability to incorporate Ruthenian lands. It wasn't even conquest per se since most people happily accepted pagan Lithuanians over Mongol cunts, plus being pagan and less advanced culturally, a lot of them quickly assimilated into Ruthenian framework.
However, it still wasn't just Ruthenian country because Lithuanians also brought a good state centralization framework with themselves. In other words, it was basically symbiosis.

What do you class as an "imaginary reconstruction"? Isn't that performance of Gilgamesh an imaginary reconstruction without the sheet music?

Edgelord and a hilarious failure.

There is no consensus on him. Academically he was an important revolutionary figure and became a folk hero among the underprivileged groups of South America.

>he was an important revolutionary figure
Nah, he was shit. Piggybacked Fidel in the Cuban revolution, did fuck all in Africa and failed even harder in Bolivia.
>became a folk hero
The folk hero status was actually created by Fidel and turned him into a martyr, then American leftists turned him into a pop icon.
Generally speaking though he did basically nothing worth noting and only seemed to be permanently asspained about everything.

As far as I know, the idea of agency originally came from sociology. Other fields have done more interesting things with it, but I guess it's originally theirs.

Max Webers sociology of religion.
The theory of Agency thought up as early as Descartes, but only fully realized by Pierre Bordieu.

So this is a bit of a weird subject that's very, very difficult to discussion rationally on almost any part of the Internet, but I think /his/ should be a little less triggered by it.
It's been said that child prostitution was pretty prevalent in Western Europe even up to the 18th Century. Even England didn't take steps to end child prostitution until 1885. But what fueled this and maintained this economy of child sex workers? Were people just more accepting of pedophilia back then or was it just like Internet piracy, impossible to stamp out entirely?
Historically, how have most civilzations tried to handle pedophilia? The Greeks are often brought up as exemplars of "tolerance" in regards to sexual deviancy; was this something that they had few problems with? The Romans have a reputation, perhaps unearned, for being little boy fanciers. Is /his/tory just being rewritten by pedophiles, or is modern puritanism an aberration?
I'm just genuinely curious about what ancient and medieval cultures thought about pedophilia.

Well for once if you have children working in factories (or on the fields for that matter) why no make them use all parts of their body to make money?
One has to understand that the clear line of child-adult wasn't always as clearly defined, children have been helping their parents where they could since before time, labour laws are a incredebly modern thing.
