Anything more specific? What kind of geography?
Land that's easily defendable and able to sustain it's population.
Seems kind of like an oxymoron if you ask me. But I think I know what you're getting at. In light of what Ski said, a legal code which preserves certain moral absolutes while being open to adaptation in more regulatory matters.
and you nned inteeligent people to do that. ;D
I'm saying deaths of innocent people is not just. War is hell.The decision to remove the Nazis by force is a just decision. Bombing a large German city and killing the majority of civilians in the process may have been a necessary tactic for victory, but it is not just.
If it was done correctly and Bush was truthful about it (not that I blame him for saying alternative reasons), it would have been worth it. But to me 80,000+ wounded mostly from IED's is unacceptable.As for the JWT - I think the reasons for some wars can be just, but the wars themselves never are. And that goes for all wars, IMO. I can no longer reconcile civilian casualties with Christianity.
This was more about the second period of imperialism during the European abolishment of slavery and just prior to WWI. I'm just surprised at how long it took them to explore the interior regions of Africa. Still, the amount of bravery required to do this is remarkable considering the natives, Muslims, and known diseases and hazards involved plus the number of explorers before them who just disappeared without a trace.
Still not convinced. I get fuming angry whenever I read Wikipedia entries involving European colonialism.
I don't think the growth of Third World nations has anything to do with Obama's policies. Much of the reason appears to be better nutrition and more food. The only “conspiracy” theories are those who criticize Monsanto and other corporations for supplying genetically modified food. I never understood that argument (that they are controlling or poisoning the food supply or something) because all they do is make more food available and it's less susceptible to drought and disease. If this was the United States, Obama's EPA policies would put a stop to this or do something stupid like force farmers to grow their corn for ethanol production, which raises prices, rather than food…ooops, he's already done that.
This will probably throw off the Nostradamus followers. I don't think Francis is mentioned in any prophecy. Been reading a little about him, he's very pro-life. Good.
And the reason I haven't posted much lately is because I'm training to be an elite, world-class rower.
He was one that was thinking about, although I he's probably not as bad as some.
I respectfully disagree.(love the twitter response from Amash!)
