    I also only recently heard this, though I may have heard it before I didn't remember it at all. It does put the missionary acts of Ramon Llull into a different perspective though. Also, the Gnostics and several other heresies were less aligned with traditional Christianity than Islam is, so...

    Most likely, China is getting desperate. Manufacturing was the only thing keeping their economy afloat, without that they are nothing. It's easy to bribe reporters though.

    Legality has little meaning if the laws can be changed. In the past the fundamental laws were an extension of god's will, and so were burned into the psyche of every man, woman and child. In the present, laws are changed and adjusted multiple times per decade. There can be no moral...

    Cancel the cancel cultists? Easier to make people bored with them, lose interest/respect for them, then their opinion will become irrelevant.

    You also have to realize that he's in the military. It's fuckin easy to get married in the military. The benefits do a lot of heavy lifting.

    Jokes aside, you are absolutely correct. It's the classic 'blank page' problem, creativity can only exist within constraints, just as total freedom leads to depression more than anything else.

    Well, there are two interpretations of that. The first, what most would think, is that the Pope viewed such accusations as fallacious. The second, that "it's only adultery if it's vaginal", was quite a common notion until industrial times. The faster spread of information caused by newspaper...

    You can't really use the behavior of monarchs as a metric for culture. Monarchs, like celebrities, push the boundaries of polite society to the breaking point in whatever area they find themselves ensnared. Using Henry IIX as a core example is like saying that any random merchant or blacksmith...

    Especially in harsher, more rural, areas, where people did whatever they had to do in order to get by. If you are starving you aren't going to tell your wife she can't get a job. Hard times make people pragmatic. You look at the classified ads of the time, women on the frontier were...

    Kind of a shitty-brown color actually. Conveniently, get's the point across better.

    You know for a fact that it's about the agenda in this case because of the one disabled actress in the wheelchair.

    I had assumed that it was a joke, but nope. https://www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/richard-iii-about/14430/ Fortunately it's just a play and not a Netflix special... for now.

    So, since this is a crime, what happens when they do it to a car with a camera on it, and the owner sends the video to the police?

    My worry is that negligible senescence comes through and suddenly we are stuck with these assholes for the next few centuries. My guess is that successive waves of social change would see most of them dying off, but it would be an utter slog.

    After people caught on to the Restrict Act things seemed to have settled down. Birds were chirping, wind was blowing, everything was at peace. There was even a bi-partisan bill put forward to get children off social media, who could be against that? Wait one minute! :unsure: A sensible...

    What's the saying? "Men care about a woman's past, women care about a man's future", not a lot of future with a guy who has terminal cancer. Probably was like the good count said, she pulled out her investment. Even if that isn't the case, she's very much not interested in anyone other than...

    Based on the "Blame Canada" thread, I am not particularly convinced of their longevity either. Canada seems a very artificial nation, they are colonial by nature, either to Europe or to the US. Their current administration seems to want to be neither, and that won't work because they can't...

    Trudeau's continued reign is the single greatest advocacy for the annexation of Canada. A human fleshlight. As in: fuck this tool.
