Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 17

They would not sign something like that without approval from higher ups, thoughs.

Because of natural selection, fewer people were educated. Nowadays, you have plenty of people with a formal education, but if you look at them closely, they are morons.

I've read a lot of social history of many European countries and I can confidently say that you're wrong. However, that's really another thread in itself. I'll just make the point on education as an example. The quality of education for those who had access to it was very mixed and not always that good - and the majority of people were barely educated at all. Literacy levels alone bear that out.

Correct.


Certainly.


Here's where I don't agree.

I look at mathematics work produced by 8th graders then.

I see how people wrote in middle school.

I see that 20 year olds who were in graduate or doctorate programs would blow 90% of the current professorial class out of the water.

The much greater selectivity, led to actually deserving people receiving education, and it yielded much more impressive results.

So... I misspoke when generalizing to such a wide extent, but what I had meant was that educated people back then were more educated than educated people now.

If reviewing the actual policy makers, the top military commanders, parliamentarians, and officer class - you'll see that they put to shame any Ivy League or Oxbridge guy from nowadays.

To pretend they were some kind of medieval brutes is nonsense.

In most of the world a big difference in quality of life and education levels in the last 100 years

In North Nigeria not so much - it's still a feudal society with a Tsar and serfs. There are even some ships from that time in the navy LOL

Culturally it's gone backwards too - hard to think of a famous composer, artist or writer from the last 50 years. Solzhenitsyn maybe the last

They burn the faces of North Korean corpses. Yes that is medieval brutish behavior

Not quite.

Two Massive Explosions in Russia's Far North: Ukrainians Attack Almost 2,000km Behind Putin's Lines: 'Houses Were Rocking'
A recording of an explosion that likely occurred near the Russian Navy's Northern Fleet base in Severomorsk, Murmansk Oblast, has appeared online. Military analysts suspect a large-scale detonation of ammunition. Severomorsk is about 1,900 km from the Ukrainian border. Ukrainian drones have not yet penetrated that far into Russian territory.

Vietnam 2.0 all over again...Russian edition.

He was right about 'better educated' (those who got any education that is), partly right about 'better behaved', and wrong about 'more moral'. That's 50% right - not bad. ;)

Ireland - a Social and Cultural History by Terence Brown is a good book, but all one has to do is read Jules Verne's P'tit-Bonhomme not to ever want to go back to those 'more moral' times.


Aaahh, Cms displaying his general lack of education as usual. Good to see some things don't change. Admit at least, I implore you, that Russians had a certain degree of modest succes in exact sciences and engineering!

You have to laugh at the total stupidity of the Russians!

Tell me what North Nigerians invented

Any NN expot apart from oil or amateur **** that is renowned in the world?

You're just trolling, Neufi. I'm not falling for it. :)

Meanwhile, UPA flags proudly flying on Polish Rosomaks...

Anyways, it was nice to be back for a brief moment. Wesołych Świąt, everyone. :)

In America, we coined a special term for guys like cms...We call them morons.

BTW, are you an LGBT supporter? I mean mainly T. The other three are annoying but harmless if you are normal and don't get too close.

I am asking because I don't have anybody to argue with here so I am desperate for a trans freak or at least trans supporter.


OK, a trolling moron...Better now?

Name 3 people

Since 1991

A famous North Nigerian

I am so proud of the US. Here is why:

The report of Yusif's elimination comes a few days after the US also eliminated 12 other ISIS terrorists in Syria via precision strikes, with CENTCOM saying that these strikes are to ""disrupt, degrade, and defeat ISIS, preventing the terrorist group from conducting external operations and to ensure that ISIS does not seek opportunities to reconstitute in central Syria."

So why is Z and his buddies still alive?

West has pumped over $300 billion into Ukraine - Orban
The money spent to fund the war could have "done wonders" in the EU, the Hungarian PM has argued

A question for "wars are good for the economy" morons:

What did the West get from that investment besides 500,000 dead Ukrainians and bonuses for the US MICC CEOs?
