Speaking of Nazi's that exactly what the Nazi regime did once they were in power. They made their opponents (anyone who expressed opinions other than their own) illegal. They shut down anyone who didn't agree with them. Now I am not defending Supremacists ideas but the moment you silence someone because you don't like what they're saying or don't agree with it you've become a Nazi. The solution is to be just as loud if not louder than them. That way people hear your voice instead of the bigots and you get to not be a bigot yourself.

Besides the fact that it's a just a story I think people forget or don't know the age of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo's age is stated but he was older than Juliet many depictions put him around 16. Juliet was 13 going on 14. They were idiot teenagers that acted like idiot teenagers. All emotional response and little logical forethought.

It's not the kindness of others that paves the way to hell but instead our own misguided kindness. It can be a kindness to do what is best for others even to our own detriment. However, not everything we think is a kindness actually is one and it in fact could be a detriment to the ones we seek to be kind to instead. That is why I call that saying naive.
Theodore set the sole condition to obtaining wisdom as being through kindness. Wisdom, is simply the application of knowledge. Now you can learn wisdom from kindness but it is far far from the only source and most wisdom is actually learned from failure.
What you have described is actually the use of wisdom for the application of kindness. The wisdom was not derived from the kindness. That same wisdom can be applied to the application of hate as well. Vladimir Lenin was a wise man, evil yes, but also a wise man. Many conquerors, tyrants, and murderers were wise. I like and applaud your mindset but it is, in my opinion, naive.

The path to hell is paved with good intentions. The fact that this saying even exists is proof that Theodore is wrong. To say that kindness is more important is naive at best. And to condition wisdom as acceptance of some idiot's ideology is pure foolishness.

Interesting article but were they convicted? I can accuse anyone of anything. Doesn't make it true.

I only used most likely because I didn't know what inspiration the artist had in making the piece. The production could have been important but in most art the process of making the color has little if nothing to do with why the piece exists. Instead it's the painters preference or needed to achieve a specific outcome.

Okay, but 12k words? No way. Most of what you just listed could be described in a paragraph per item. If I was a teacher and you did a paper on this and went into detail about how the color is produced I'd fail you. How the color is produced mostly likely has very little to nothing to do with the picture itself. Now, I can see if the paper was titled something along the lines of "(title of the piece): the methodology, production, and inspiration used". Again that's pretty superfluous but I can see that being a much longer paper. Not one I'd want to read, and again just justifying the degree, but I'll grant you it could be long enough.

That's a nope. You walk into the office and see the pillar. You look away. Wait a minute. You look back. This time it registers that the pillar is bent. Nope, you collect your things and leave the office.

12k words on a solid color rectangle with a borderline. Yeah, he put snow in there. There is not a infinite way to describe something. And you can re-describe something a multitude of times, but eventually you're just repeating yourself but using different words. That being said the simpler the item the faster you end up repeating yourself. Now there may be a bit about the artist and the history of the style or what influences might have attributed to the piece but it's still just a solid rectangle with a border. This is type of thing you see in academics when someone has to justify what they're learning or teaching to others solely because it has no other real purpose so they make one up.

Hmm, no the anime didn't come until I was in high school. When I was 10 there were only shows like Animaniacs, Bonkers, Rocko's Modern Life, and Captain Planet.

However, by the time they had sufficiently regained their strength it was apparent that the tech advantage of the Europeans was practically insurmountable.
If there hadn't been such a huge reduction of the natives prior to this and there wasn't the fear of the newcomers gods chances are things would have gone drastically different. If the settlers had shown up before the epidemic it's generally agreed that the natives would have just constantly attacked the settlers, who would have been seen as an encroaching tribe. The lament in the second part reflects not just the final outcome but also the loss incurred by the diseases that killed most of those that died.

A bit misleading. The second part dates this to the settlers in the now New England area that showed up just after a major epidemic. The natives which were living in many areas suddenly found their population reduced, drastically. So there were literally large swaths of land that were "traditional" lands for tribes that now didn't exist or now had no use for. They agreed to let the new settlers live there for a couple of reasons. First they were afraid of the newcomers gods which they believed to be stronger than their own since the settlers weren't killed off in the sicknesses spreading through the populations. Second, they didn't have the same concept of land that Europeans did. If a tribe needed more land and it wasn't available they just went to war with a neighboring tribe and eliminated them man, woman, and child. They routinely practiced genocide, it was a fact of life for them. They most likely expected the same thing to continue when they regained their numbers

You may dislike Steven Crowder, or you may not, but he visited a Museum and they covered many of these topics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_KlDf-Wgoc&ab_channel=StevenCrowder

He was one of the most racist presidents we've ever had. He's responsible for the rewriting of history books to remove all prominent black persons. He replaced them with a extremely racist caricature depicting them as little better than apes. He was president of Princeton at the time and his history books were widely distributed based off the reputation of Princeton. Which is truly a shame because there were several books written by his contemporaries that highlighted prominent blacks and their influence in the country. Instead those got buried and are only found in a few museums today. When he became President of the US he fired every person of color that worked in the white house except one to act as the token black person.

It's not so much that they're horrifying monstrosities as beyond our ability to truly comprehend what we're looking at. In several incidents they appear as just men so they do possess the ability to appear normal if it's warranted of them. They just don't or it isn't in many depictions of them in the bible. The best description of the idea I've seen in modern literature is in C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy.

Lilith as you've described didn't make an appearance until at least 600AD. It also seems to be an amalgamation of a night creatures, night monster.... etc. Since then there's been alot of mythology created about her. Probably to make the story more interesting. The idea was romanticized, in the classical sense, extensively through the middle ages leading to the current form of Lilith.

There were many in the past that held similar values we do today. Some of them spoke out but many just didn't get slaves. Just like today there are those that completely abstain from using fossil fuels and speak out against it. Problem is the culture needs to change in order for massive reforms to not only get headway but also become more popular. The industrial revolution was one of the leading forces changing the culture back then which made slavery less important. A single man could suddenly do the work of 10 reducing the need for for such a large single purpose labor force. President Washington even covers many of these concerns in his letters speaking about his will. He didn't really like slavery but couldn't see how to eliminate it with causing massive problems. That's the problem with any system which relies almost solely on one method to function.

If you're caught it's the misdemeanor offense of improper disposal of a body and can carry a hefty fine and possible jail time. So don't get caught.

Nothing like trying to compare today's cultural standards and morals to ones hundreds of years ago. It was also a time when most of the world held slaves including most of Europe. Not that it's in the same category but let me give you an accurate example. To all most anyone currently living using a car, bus, or plane is completely acceptable and even desired. If in 250 years they have moved beyond fossil fuels and find the very idea revolting and immoral because of the damage it does to the environment there will be people who can't understand why we didn't just all give up using fossil fuels completely simply on principle. Those people would find all of us immoral, horrible people. The fact that people can't understand cultural standards change is just idiotic. And if anyone thinks they would still hold the current day's values if they were raised and lived in a past era they are moronic in the extreme.
