My favorite janny handiwork... you have been banned. for this post. I read it? Not even my post. not even at fault for the claim. One time I just said "I don't think so" and I was banned on that post for "racism outside of some other faggy board". Not sure how jannies think.

Was is the key word. I spent the last few years working a public service position in Alaska and met most of our big political leaders. Palin is a blown out crack head looking old lady now who’s had a ton of plastic surgery. She’s also mildly retarded. Interestingly enough, Murkowski has aged very gracefully, she’s also very easy to talk to but her political viewpoints are all over the place and she essentially told me in one conversation she doesn’t care that Alaskans are getting raped by outside “investment” as long as it makes her friends more money.

>they have no grammar and declinations and conjugation
They have no declination or conjugation (might be starting to re-evolve it, the writing system makes it unclear where the word boundaries are, but if it is it's only in the beginning stages), but it certainly has grammar, enough to fill a whole wiki:
https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/
We English-speakers think of "grammar" as meaning declension and conjugation because the main languages we formally studied the grammar of historically were Latin and Greek, and they have a lot of it (while the other aspects of their grammar come pretty naturally to us because of the Indo-European family resemblance), but "grammar" is just any set of rules for how linguistic elements are combined to form meaning.

>>24631922
It's the other way around: shonen anime are like that because they're inspired by the great Chinese novels.

>>24632054
all european languages have a lot of morphology, english perhapse not so much
that s why we tend to call it simple and also why it s harder to articulate if you have a lot to say, but that isn t a concern for the average english simpleton
still chinese grammar is much simpler i dont understand how such an old and widely spoken language is so robotic

First one is a one on one fighting game and the second one is closer to what the series would become, but imperfect. 3 really solidifies the formula and greatly expands the roster, but they'll still let you choose a general and present you a scenario in which he leads his faction to total victory over China, something none of the characters in 3 really came close to doing, not even Sima Yi. The last one I played was 8 or 9, and it adds the Jin faction where Sima Zhao ultimately pacifies the whole country. Most of the games are decent, mindless fun with a little of the novel's story peppered in, but a handful of them are lazy shit where the characters share movesets

>>24617719
Its a real dry read moat of the time, yes, but every now and again there are cool passages like Zhang Fei yelling so loud it kills a guy, or Guan Yu's ghost possessing Lu Meng and killing him by making him bleed from every orifice in his body

>In addition, these people don't really share our values at all. They don't believe in truth or justice like we do. They bombard their people with pointless propaganda that makes them feel like eternal victims.
I think it's totally reasonable to want the U.S. to cut off Israel, but honestly I do not get that impression from Israelis at all. I do get it from American Jews all the time. But the Israeli stuff I see (in Hebrew) is mostly about how they're not victims, but are strong and back each other up and give zero fucks (as I said) about what others think (which also makes them very bad at P.R. and have horrible reputations as tourists), and if you want to get rid of them, then go try it. I'm not saying this to sound tough on the internet, that's actually what they say and the impression I get from them. They're a very brutal, direct, blunt people. I think it's also partly the Hebrew language. More this:

>These people really don't share our values.
I think that have some different values.

>They are entirely ungrateful about this sacrifice and simply kvetch about being persecuted even when they are being helped at great personal cost.
I don't think that's really true. The Tel Aviv Pride festival (of all things) had giant images of Donald Trump up after he bombed Iran. I don't know what Trump's supporters here would think about that, but only in Israel. I do think American Jews do a lot of the self-victimization stuff which is counterproductive to put it mildly, but that's also how everybody in the U.S. talks.

>Their propaganda claims to be all these great things; they claim to be so much nobler and better than their neighbors. They're not.
That's true. They do have a superiority complex.

Why do you specify anti-Catholic, in particular? Catholicism is far from the only belief system to postulate an afterlife.

That’s up to you but you will never have actually read Dante if you don’t. Poetry isn’t like prose, it’s much more dependent on sonic effect (especially in Dante’s case), word placement, rhyme. Anytime you read a poem in translation, you are reading essentially a gussied up summary. For arguably the greatest poem in the Western Canon, and with the one life you have, one would think you would want to actually read it. But that just depends on your commitment to literature. If you’re just a casual looking to familiarize yourself with the content, you do you. It isn’t Dante though.

Dante rips off Ibn Arabi. Ibn Arabi did the whole "a young girl inspires me to divine heights" and has an eerily similar structure of hell purgatory and heaven.

St Bernard and St Bonaventure are probably more important than St Aquinas.

No, what you really mean is that jews have murdered more people under the guise of atheism than any of their other schemes, but even that isn't true.

>>24631445
I don't think morality is emotional. It's very pragmatic in a way. I don't want to live in a society where I or anyone I know could be randomly murdered at any time. You can't even really have much of a society like that.
