Because apparently we have yet another end of the world date to look forward to and laugh about come early next year

http://www.conspiracyanddemocracy.org/about/ So it's a study of the mechanisms of conspiracy theories, not a study of individual theories themselves, such as the Zeitgeist and 9/11 denial crap which has been addressed and debunked on these forums many times over. It looks interesting and i...

Hi Dragan Glas As i have yet to read the cited work, is it possible to give a summation of what the work says about the dictatorial regimes that i have briefly touched upon in this thread, also secularity in relation to a nations constitution (which i have also touched upon), if it says...

Re: Step by step the construction of a propellant with the h I haven't laughed so hard at a single thread for a very long time :lol: :lol:

*sigh* And i still observe that my point has still been missed. But i'm sure everyone else can see where i'm getting at. Yes we've gathered. Yea, a totally unrealistic utopian scenario. Well i happen to have this little thing called knowledge of History, also Political Science. Two things...

Whilst i was typing that quick post this song popped into my head. Doesn't make me feel any better.

*sigh* And i observe that my point has still been missed. Because we're aware that "Atheist countries" so-called have actually been put into practice, with diabolical results. Yea and what you seem to be advocating is either an unrealistic utopia, or another totalitarianism. Either way...

What Frenger said. When you start reading the constitutions of the various states that once made up what was behind the Iron curtain, both in the Baltics and interestingly in the Balkans (and especially since the bloody dissolution of Yugoslavia), it should strike you as interesting the number...

+1. As all the countries thus far that have practiced "State Atheism" have been dictatorships. Not a style of govt any of us here on this thread believe in i suspect.

Ideally, a country whose inhabitants are wholly Atheist should develop by it's own will rather than Atheism being oppressively forced onto a pre-existing religious population by the State above. Nonetheless if i were to draw up a constitution reflecting that my country is a democratic, liberal...

And i pick this article because to me it has all the denialist nonsense in one go. As Prole would say, "Feel free to use it as target practice" :)

Addendum: I should probably make clear the difference between the Kitchener Poster being derided as a "myth" in the Telegraph article, which depicts Kitchener, his pointing finger and "Your Country needs you" as pretty much a stand-alone poster, as opposed to the very same image and text being...

"The Sleepwalkers: How Europe went to War in 1914" by Christopher Clark.

Re: Re: Thank you Vivre. I am glad to say that the issue has been sorted now :). And i would also like to offer my deepest apologies if the above post asking to "sort this out" came across as being rude, but it wasn't intended to be. James

Re: Why is there two different threads to the same post? Someone sort this out

Hi James I digested Stevenson a few years ago. But as the centenary of the Great War comes ever closer now is the time i think for a re-read of all the ww1 literature i have. So after i have finished what i have displayed in the post above, i shall be focusing on that. Also, as the 100th...

A few of the books that have come into my collection as of late. "The Storm of Steel" - Ernst Jünger (English translation published 1929) "Eastern Approaches" - Fitzroy Maclean. "Vanished Kingdoms. The History of Half-forgotten Europe" - Norman Davies "History of ww1" - Sir Basil...

Sometimes, the weird discussions that i can get involved in amaze even myself. Like i did with my latest blogpost i also made a mention of the 1913 Treaty of London on Twitter and the expansion of the Serbian state as a result of it, incorporating Kosovo (which is mostly ethnic Albanian) and the...

Odd. Because i can :|

Re: Here we go again! It's been well documented that Lenin appreciated Stalin rather deeply and that he nurtured him and overall favoured him over all his main rivals in his party. And that After the 1920s Stalin justified what he did by using what Lenin had said previously. There is no...
