If this Emu War joke gets run into the ground any further it will pop up in China.

Hey? The Emu War is still on going mate. Zoo's with Emus in them are actually POW camps mate.

Economically it could be debated that he was a good leader.

Who is spamming these shit WWII threads? I'm not against the discussion of WWII, just against this garbage that's been repeated on /pol/ and /int/ a million times.

No, Hitler would have still lost. The UK had a superior navy and won the Battle of Britain before Hitler even invaded the USSR. The British could have embargoed and blockaded Germany and Italy and just waited until the two countries collapsed or agreed to return to pre-war borders. There was nothing Hitler and Mussolini could have done to defeat the UK.

what month?

yeah no that's too late the wheels are already in motion for the inevitable

Last I heard the only one that might not have been real was the hanging gardens. The temple of Artemis was for sure real: it was burned down by herostratus because he wanted attention.

real? they were all real. theres a saying that goes if the pyramids weren't still around nobody would believe that such structures could have been built.

One of my history teachers didn't believe in the Statue of Zeus or the Lighthouse of Alexandria.

I think we all know the answer, by the way.

Too many wars, too few allies.

Best option is to ignore both situations, taking any action is immoral.

Holy fuck thats awesome

We already know that consciousness can affect physical reality. We also know that we dream and essentially create our own realities within our minds. There is no reason to doubt that this can be taken to a further level. There is no evidence, philosophical or empirical, that physical reality can create something as complex and perfect as consciousness, but we already know that consciousness can create anything it wants within its own thoughts. This suggests that this physical reality is subjective to consciousness and is essentially a collective dream of all consciousness experiencing it. Consider also how perfect, how complex yet simple, consciousness is. If it was simply neurons, we would be artificial intelligence no different than an advanced computer, not truly conscious. Consider how perfect physical reality is. It cannot have occured by chance. Everything fits together far too well. It has to originate from consciousness. This leads to only one conclusion: Conscious creates physical reality. We do not exist within the Universe; rather, the Universe exists within us.

That realization answers what, to many people, are the biggest and most important two questions that can be asked: What is the purpose of the Universe? What is the purpose of life? The Universe is what consciousness creates for itself as an environment for experience. Life is what consciousness creates for itself as a means for experience.

This realization, however, leaves another, arguably more important question unanswered: What happens when we die? This question relies in large part on whether or not we, as conscious beings, exist forever. To answer these questions, one must consider what reality really is. Of course reality conists of physical reality and consciousness, but physical reality is subjective to consciousness. Objective reality, then, is essentially two things: Consciousness and time. However, time is not really a thing, so it might be more correct to say that objective reality is only consciousness. Time is simply something that passes. It is objective. That leaves consciousness. Each conscious entity is objective and can be seen as a quantum of consciousness.

Time is infinite. Your life is finite. It is only approximately one century out of eternity. One century out of eternity is a finite number out of infinity, or one out of infinity. One out of infinity is infinitesimally small--so small that most mathematicians would say that it is exactly equal to zero. Although that is not technically correct, the difference between a finite number out of infinity and zero is infinitely small. If your existence is finite, if you die when your body dies, then the chance that this moment in time happens to occur during your finite existence out of infinite time is one out of infinity. That is, if your existence is temporary, then the chance that you currently exist is zero. Yet you exist.

It could, of course, be argued that the above argument is invalid because there will always be someone who exists, and out of infinite possibilities, some extremely unlikely or even infinitely unlikely possibility will always exist. This is true. The current state of the Universe, down to every detail, is one out of an incomprehensibly large number of possibilities, yet here the Universe is, in its current state, despite the unliklihood. This moment in time is one out of infinite. However, it is guaranteed that the Universe exists in some state. It is guaranteed that we are currently in a finite moment in infinite time. Although the chance that the Universe exists in its current state is extremely low, and although the chance that we are currently in this exact moment out of infinite time is infinitely small, the current moment and the current state of the Universe were not chosen at random for this thought experiment; rather, they were chosen because we currently exist in this moment in time and the Universe currently exists in its current state.

did someone say "Black Death"?

>>57003
Plague hit European several different occasions, but I believe The Black Death of the 1300's was the most devastating and that's why it is called such.

Rats, dude.

>>57003
>also were the jews mainly at fault for it
Jews likely didn't go to public baths (which fell out of use after the plague due to their nature as vectors of the disease) and stayed relatively healthy, so they were viewed as spreading the disease.

At least that's what I've heard.

The Royal Domain of the French King is held by the King himself.
The Kingdom of France is all the land that's supposed to owe fealty to the King of France

Regards, Crusader kings pro.

lrn2 vassals

domain of the king is the land the king owns
the realm the king rules is shit ruled by dukes and counts, who serve the king and pledge themselves to him but they rule the land

The kingdom of france is the territory for the frankish lands. The king is the leader of the kingdom. The king was ordained (loose definition) long ago by royal families. A familial dynasty was attached to the kingship. These royal families thst were not part of the kingly dynasty held lands in return for being loyal to the king. Tldr: the kingdom was under the watch of tge king but he chopped it up and gave it to other royals as appeasement. The king has his own personal lands which is the roya domain or demesne. He exacts tribute for his demesne as well as from his local nobles' lands as well.

That is a poor attempt at explaining a very complex structure, particularly in the situation of france. But i hope it helped.

Martin Luther plagiarized his doctoral thesis at Boston University school of divinity, it's a fact.

If you actually read the 95 Theses, it's all about practices that the Catholic Church doesn't perform anymore. Luther got the Church to fix it's problems, but it took them like 30 years to get around to fixing it.

Are nasheeds historical?
All the ones I seem to find are modern ones that sound enhanced by computers or something

When did Islamic chants come into practice?
I'd heard Mohammed banned music, though I don't know too much about that

>>56681
out of curiosity, are there any historical accounts of the prophet mohammed outside of islam? or is it like the controversy about the existence of jesus? islam's affect on the history of the world has been undeniable, regardless of whether you support it or not, I just wonder what is fact and what is legend regarding it's origins
