Could anything possibly bore more then this conflict? There was never, and is never, a fair solution possible as long as too many people involved are convinced that it is a fully reasonable principle of ethical arguing to defend one right with the act of violating another.

Hitlers secret private life (mainly in the 1920ies) and the simple fact that we know so little about how he spent his free time, ahs in late years cause much specualtion about his eventual homo sexuality. Of course it is possible that he was. I haven't taken part of all theories, but the one I...

For the first statement of yours, I certainly do not agree. The separation is often not made in interpersonal communication, but as Monia von Wright explains it in the books on the philosophical backgrounds of pedagogics; this shortcoming stems mainly from that the reciever of the arguementation...

I know. And I don't think so either. My point was just to be a little humourous in the last section. Therefore I violated - in Ancient manner - the truth to set an effect. Mats Norrman mats.norrman@home.se

It doesn't have any sulphur and phosphoros in its physical constitutoin and therefore it cannot be destroyed through oxidation. How the Ancient Indians made this pillar is a mystery still. The spectacular Erich von Däniken claims in his book "Unsolved Mysteries of the Human past" (or...

Nero, Caligula and Commodus were victims of very much claumnity due to that their politics were impopular in certain ways (though that dosn't mean that their politics was necessarily downright bad). It is not always the leaders who give candy to the people who are the most useful eladers either...

I would certainly vote "Don't know". And I think I have good reasons for doing so as I have investigated in Hitlers own writings and he has been a target of my interest in may years. This I can conclude after my to date studies: * Hitler is one of the 'great' men since Leonard da Vinci...

I am not going to engage in why you need the biographies of these specific presidents, but I wanted to say that in general I enjoyed reading the biographies of the U.S. persidents as there are so many oddbirds among them. I guess you have read the essentials about Father Abraham, but another...

As I understand had it not been for the Watergate Scandal Nixon would have had good chances as being remembered as a very good president. But how should one else expect that the soft fascist phalanx in USA will treat a president that put their war (Vietnam) to an end? Mats Norrman...

I think it could be a good thing to distinguish if "Great Battle" means an battle of importance and influence of being great in other respect. I have already questioned the meaning and justification in judging long past battles in a previous post. The same however often applies to modern battles...

Actually I question the meaning of telling at all the importance of battles so long back. Say that Darius or Xerxes had won their battles and conquered Greece; it is not necessarily so that the Western world hadn't developed after lines very similar to the Alexandrine conquest of Asia Minor...

Brietenfeld 1632 was not the first battle in which the Sweds manifested the supremacy of their light, high speed-projectile cannons (which was the main advance the swedish had). At the time for this battle Europe was well aware what a dangerous opponent Sweden was, so it would be inaccurate to...

Several have remarked that the Ancient historians frequently exaggerated the size of armies. I would like to point out that they did not necessarily do so, but because they counted different than how we count today, for several reasons, many of which will seem so obvious so we miss them today...

Re, Force sizes: Actually it is mentioned in the annals that the force Ceasar commanded when he conquered Gaul was about 30'000 soldiers, and likely he commanded forces of similar size also elleswhere. This is a somewhat larger force then Alexanders army, and yes, the infrastructure and...

I would be interested to know if anyone would be able to support me with a complete list of commands that can be used as Triggers (with sub-chains) in the Event-file upon creating scenarios. Cordialement, Mats Norrman
