I assume Macedonius of Thessalonica is well represented in the book. He was a contemporary of Justinian, and would be a good poet to start with.

I think that any species that is advanced enough to achieve interstellar travel has probably advanced beyond violence as well. Which means that we just have to wait for them to teach us all the secrets of the universe, and then we can murder them and use their own space ships to launch a counter...

If I were Estonian, I would regard the Third Reich as a lesser evil than the USSR. After all, the Soviets were the ones who snuffed out their independence. The Soviets kept them down for almost half a century. And to this day, the Soviet successor state in Moscow continues to harass and degrade...

Concrete isn't necessary for shelter. Billions of people live without concrete. Food is necessary for survival. Nobody lives without food. I have no idea what the Palestinians hope to accomplish by firing rockets at Israeli towns, but those Qassams are a big part of why I don't sympathize...

But they can't eat it right? And since they're starving, maybe they'd be better off with food than concrete.

Are the Palestinians able to eat concrete?

Formaldehyde you soundly kicked my ass with that wall of text. :b: Of course, let's go back and reread what you wrote down. Have you systematically gone through every major military leader, and proven that none of them thought we should nuke Japan? How about George C. Marshall, the Army...

Lucky for us, they don't. :)

Name one major military leader or civilian leader who said anything to that effect. Just one, so I know you're not completely full of it in everything you say. I've personally never heard anything of the sort, and I'm interested in where you get your information from. Do you have some sort of...

Absolutely. As I said, "Terrorism isn't a side, it's a strategy." America practiced terrorism when we bombed Germany and Japan during WWII. We practiced terrorism when we used the Christmas Bombing to bring Hanoi to the negotiating table. Sometimes terrorism is what you need to do to bring an...

You agree with everything he says?

Terrorism isn't a side, it's a strategy. I'm not shocked that someone can justify terrorism when he supports the cause, and condemn it when it's used by his enemies.

I'm no Communist, but I am a Democrat. ;)

Yeah, we got sidetracked. I agree. Chavez isn't responsible for the specific case, but he is responsible for much of the tone of Venezuelan politics, and for his own actions in undermining the independence of the judiciary. You're wrong. I showed statistics that prove that executive...

It's not false. I supported it with evidence. Check my links. It's not a strawman. Line cook (What Cheezy does) was the original profession we were discussing. You're the one who changed it to chef. Show me some evidence. I don't trust you because you've done nothing but make crap up...
