The date when the world rediscovered that reading is a joy.
Tewaz has a good one with The Enlightenment. That is where our modern societal values come from. Here's Scotsman David Hume:
Sometimes I wonder when I read some of the discussions on here.
the viking expansion
"We have had enough of your unfair taxes, and we are not going to take it anymore!"
The second was the advent of handwashing becoming the norm in medicine.
The third was when they gave up murdering women and cats over jealousy and superstition (aka the witch hunts/trials).
Hopefully it was hate filled...
Hopefully it was hate filled jihadis and nothing else. Because if that was a thought out military manouver of some kind, evil truly has no bounds. In my opinion, to be a conspiracy nut for a minute, maybe mossad knew about it but said nothing, not to give away one of their top moles'. I thought that aswell because i remeber reading in time magazine, that 'the situation' as it's called in israel is far less strenuous then once was. So in a more mobile anti israeli wolrd, israel is safer than it ever was. There are 17 million declared jews on the planet, god love them. If a natural disater hit the world, a minority like jewish would would be eaten up. Maybe muslims should take it on the chin, maybe muhammad fell in love with the jewish woman who supposedly poisend him. The Quran is poetic - radically poetic! One way to a mans heart is through his stomach, and maybe he was done in by a 'friend' for 'fraternising'. Every religion needs a judas! I was thinking why a war weathered man would trust a supposedly 'sneaky' jewess (after taking her town, I think) to cook him food. It's food for thought, you could say! Plus was the food pasted in poison, or steeped in it for a period, because if it was pasted, a whole piece of it would surely be equal to a small peice of it.
However if I had to narrow it down to only one......
But I do worry about the world they are joining...
dont yell at me but i was just on youtube and i cant belive some1didnt say 9/11
Besides...remember the hapless Chamberlain?...he practically lay britain at hitler's feet...so don't thump ur chest too hard about how the U.S. didn't particularly feel too keen on sacrificing their young men and women to a "european war" by entering the fray ONLY after Germany made a declaration of war against the U.S. Besides the U.S. stood by the brits from the start with support in the form of arms, supplies etc.
Certainly the implications post-war, and for the Cold War, could have been much worse without US involvement, I'll grant you that. And for British finances. But the Nazis would have lost the war without American involvement. Everyone always seems to forget that the USSR did the most to defeat them (now watch, someone will call me a commie).
Oh, yes Chamberlain was a doozy all right. But all of Europe was so drained from WWI that there were people like him everywhere, who thought war was worse than anything. Of course, some things are worse than war. Churchill's was a VERY lonely voice. The British were lucky to have the great moat around their island. It saved them from the Spanish, the French and the Germans, over the centuries.
"after Germany made a declaration of war against the U.S"
Yes, that was one of the stupidest things Hitler did! Cheers.
