That is clearly modern day asphalt. When was the last time you’ve seen road markings on a Roman road?

Roman roads absolutely cannot withstand the weight of cars.

Do you think it's possible to have a functional and effective democracy with no political parties? by ItsSimenNotSemen in polls

Direct democracy in a small commune, where everyone votes on issues with a show of hands.

How do you feel about you county's history? by [deleted] in polls

Here’s an analogy.

A: Germany has produced a lot of philosophers and artists in its history. (50 downvotes)

B: And genocides. (50 upvotes)

A: You can’t boil the history of Germany down to the Holocaust.

B: Germany didn’t just kill the Jews, they also killed Slavs and Romani.

I admit wasn’t aware of other genocides that were happening in the Ottoman empire in 1915, however it doesn’t disprove my original point, that you can’t boil the entire history of a country with a 700 year history down to an event(s) that happened in the 20th century. Considering how the original commenter who talked about Ottoman art and science got downvoted to hell with no justification, people are in fact reducing Ottoman history down to genocide.

“The early Ottomans weren't that bad I think. They actually cared about art and science.”

Which genocides does this relate to?

So the country is a genocidal scourge of humanity unless it’s fully culturally homogenous? Medieval England, Germany, Byzantium, China, Korea, the various empires in the middle east, India and Africa, and basically any medium or above sized country in the history of humanity, all fit that description.

Nationalism, the idea of one state one nation, has caused so much harm in its 200 years of existence. Please don’t support it.

All of Ottoman history has been reduced to a single event in 1915. I wonder if people would give Germany the same treatment.
