They aren't executing the woman. They are executing the blindfolded guy. The woman is in a picture of the fire-brigade. I doubt that samurai themselves were involved much in citizen law enforcement.

Augustus and Aurelius of course, deserve honorable mentioning. With Vespian, Claudius, and of course Diocletian has credit for their work in 'cleaning up' so to speak. My favorite remains Lucius...

Yes, but thats his view, not mine. I was simply saying that oblivion wouldn't be some sense of darkness. Rather, the end of existence within itself.



Well I'm using Occam's Razor to believe...

I am a rather strong believer in physicalism (some part of it at least). I consider all things to be physical objects with physical properties. I equate consciousness of humans with the presence of a...

I would like to interject for no. 2

2. the Gauls did.

Cleopatra was average in looks and Helen exists only the mind of a certain blind Greek hermit. Which am I to pick?

For a rather under-rated 'loser' admiral (of course, his wins were far more important than his losses) I suggest Kuki Yoshitaka. He was the Pirate Warlord of the Kuki clan (navies in the Japanese...

The battle was decided in 7 hours. It was won after days and weeks of Nobunaga's strategical moves, making the Imagawa move further and further into his territory while the command center became...

It means 'Quoted for Truth'. Just a little applause for your reasonable and well-said comment. I personally think that people are too boxed in by the walls of 'Catholism' and 'Shitte Islam' and other...

And so the ever-victorious 'Imb' struck a deal with the opposing Empire and reunited TWC under the true Roman banner once again. He was granted the title 'Restitutor Orbis' by the Curia and he lived...

To be reasonable, everything depends on one's interpretation of words



This depends on the interpretation of the word 'is' (does it count if he was fat a few days ago), 'my' (what if I have...

Early Christianity took pacifism quite to heart. Christian soldiers opposed being drafted by the Roman Army because of it violated their religion and took punishment for it.

Of course, when...

Considering the soul a non-physical matter would be invalid. If the body is physical and the soul is not, how can they interact with each other? The only possibilities are to

1. Invoke the...

Superb! A fabulous idea worthy of TWC! I support it full-heartedly :smile:

Then I would know what I should preserve in my harddrive.

All must worship their true god, the Archivist :worship:...

The address is, but the site itself isn't.

Because the only states that actually puts Communism (well, Socialism really) are Stalinists or Maoists. They aren't Communists at all really.

I wouldn't say Communism is against democracy. If we consider democracy to be a system in which the people hold power, it would seem synonymous with a political system in which the workers (the...

GAHGASDFHPDF!!

PHILISTINE! ITS NAPOLEON!

Napoleon Bonaparte I!

Why must people keep saying 'Napolean'!

Many of them were very good really. I'm a bit confused by this one though.



Although I would agree that fascist regimes seem to make an appeal to tradition (the name itself is a call back to...

Indeed. Individual nations seems to fluctuate between nationalistic fever and 'progressive' liberal self-loathing.

I'm guessing that such a fluctuation would stop only after the pendulum swings so...

In a word...

So?

I'm here mostly because I like the reasonable majority of most of the members here and finds it a good place to do some chatting in. I havent played a Total War game in 6 months.

Oh come now. You can hardly critisize someone for asking that H&G apologize simply because he has only been here for half a year or so. (Of course, you of all people would know why I shouldn't be the...

Ah Eternal Tenjin (and Katrina)! I grovel at your feet for mercy! IT was not I who befouled with the sacred documents great one! It must have been that pawn of the Oni, Honor&Glory! He has tampered...

Ah Eternal Tenjin! Lord of Scholarship and Keeper of knowledge! I beg of your mercy! It was not my fault I could not find the missing 'third thread' of Aristocrat! I grovel at your figurative feet as...

Ah yes. It remains a degenerate (but usually friendly) community devoted to the practice of whining with obscene profanity.

LOL dude, you should check up on the moderator list right about now...

H&G unbanned everyone for now.

Besides, Siblesz hasn't even posted anything other than stuff on politics or philosophy for a good long while now (although his posts on the recent issue may just...

Ah, but there weren't Goths running through the city throughout the years. ;)

Irunintospears has been suspended. By himself?

I ask the current 'staff' to take away my batch (stars are so 'bleh'), but I doubt satyagraha would work in this case. They have totalitarian powers over this site (it is after all, simply a matter...

I'm afraid I have to contest your use of 'secular' mate;

I was taking up the use of 'secular' as in completely seperated from religion in general (which I thought of as the standard meaning; the...

They prefer to call it public consensus.



I would hardly say so, there've been a few 'crisis' before. In the end, things will get back to a workable enviroment. And this site is too large to...

Honor&Glory (now known as Richard the Lionhearted [excuse me if the name doesn't have the -ed in it]) was a former mod who aroused a bit of controversy after being a bit hasty in his posting. OgreNet...

Ooh! Ooh! I know what we can do! Give Besim negative rep! Yah, show him whos boss by taking off some of those stars of his...

You first.

Unfortunately no. We continue to harbor a few exiles, but our attention is focused on whining and obscene profanity as always. Good times



I'm sure people are arguing over this in MSN. But...

Oi! This kind of 'Stand together, we can get through this' attitude severely detriments a certain 'Exiles' forum. Come on 'Old Guard'; get back to where you once belong...

These "crisis'" are the...

:confused: How can a religion teach people to be secular?

Anywhos, I thought the Pope stayed in Rome because of his office's political connotations. After all, he is the Pontifex Maximus; High...

Secular Humanism is the closest thing I believe in. I didn't vote athieist since I'm not hardlined against the existence of God, the Gods, or Goddesses. I simply think that anything supernatural that...

Reminds me of RTW. :P

Moderation is key to everything.

1. Repulse any riots against official buildings. Meanwhile lessen taxes and repair damages.

2. Adopt a child (suitably capable), whom...
