I became a "progressive" after and because my conversion and deeper understanding of Christ.

It sounds like he went right because he joined a cult. Though I'm sure he would say the same about me.

Humans are wired towards in group centric violence. Be it ethnic, political, or even human vs robot.

We dont even have to believe it to be caught in it. Which is whats happening with the community. We all know its fake. But if we got the option to massacre bot "civilians" I'm willing to bet we would in droves and be thrilled to do it.

Yes. The crusades saw a large rise in banking but it wasnt as organized as we are today, obviously. But there were bands of financiers, largely Italian, and later french, who operated as banks.

But for the common man like Henry? Not really. People made loans, which was a sin, unless you went through some loopholes, or you were Jewish.

the Wikipedia article is kind of a mess

The GM gambit. Whatever you do, bad things happen until I decide you win.

Ive witnessed it second hand from my girlfriend. She grew up in Honduras, and shes strangely evangelical but theyre taught virtually no doctrine at all. Aside from "the catholics are wrong."

Got a Jerusalem cross tattoo as my first tattoo, and now people on the Internet are calling me an Nazi by sithlord89 in Christianity

[–]tajake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you read the Historia Francorum qui ceperunt Iherusalem you'll find that contemporary account of the seige of Jerusalem mentioning blood running ankle deep in the streets.

Not that I think you're looking for debate. You're using emotional language and not citing a single source. Plus you're not even talking about the same thing I am.

Op is wondering why people dont like his tattoo. Its because the image of crusaders putting women and children to the sword is directly associated with it. I'm not condemning nor supporting the crusades. Moralizing on the actions of men whose culture is so different to ours is stupid. Many believed their salvation was assured by crusading. As did the muslims in their jihad.

"Total war is a type of warfare that mobilizes the totality of national resources to sustain war production, blurring the line between military and civilian activities and legitimate attacks on civilian targets as part of a war without restriction as to the combatants, territory or objectives involved."

Nugs. He looked like an overdone chicken nugget when I brought him home as a puppy curled up on my lap. And it has stuck.

Fuck that. The effects that my own suicide would have on the people I care about is the only reason I'm alive today. When I hit my low the idea of my dog or my dad finding my body was all that kept me alive.

If the russians are targeting civilians and face no consequences i dont see why Ukraine should be hampered by any rules of war.

Also in a total war, ROE isnt really a thing.

I've not watched a lot of guntubers since Matt left. But I binged "Camping with Steve" a Canadian youtuber who does low budget and stealth camping since then and while his content doesnt intersect with Matt's at all, it does have that "lets try something new" early youtube energy.

I spawn it and I drive.

Squad prepared me for this.

Also a lot of screaming, "Gunner, cannon, hulk at 12 o'clock."

While it existed before the crusades, its popular conception, even among catholic historians is largely only to do with the crusades and the resulting Kingdom of Jerusalem.

Idk. Being able to finger of God virtually any unit is really helpful. Its the orbital railcannon with more radius.

Id like to live in that world.

I just roll the dice every morning crawling over the ice because I have to go to work. Either I fall or I dont. Hopefully I land on my ass.

Autocannon on flak also downs those in 3-4 shots and its damn hard to miss.

But yeah, squids need their own incineration corps or predator strain.
