We are the wildest of animals, prone to killing each other and other animals.
However we are the only animal we really know of other than angels which can end suffering an death.
Jesus proclaimed accoring to many many historians over 2000 years ago "Eternal life for all, the disloyal will go to hell." We are still working on eternal life.
I think if we genetically engineer some viruses and bacteria to go live in our brains and hearts, we might be able to copy our consciousness fuse it with something else, and then transfer it to a secure storage place where it can live in a simulated heaven.
We have to devote 10% of our resources, most of what we currently spend enriching the very wealthy to live outrageous lifestyles, and financing military operations, we need to put that money into ending suffering and death.
Anyone not doing it is possibly guilty of treason.

Question: How does carbon-14 dating work?
Answer: Cosmic rays in the upper atmosphere are constantly converting the isotope nitrogen-14 (N-14) into carbon-14 (C-14 or radiocarbon). Living organisms are constantly incorporating this C-14 into their bodies along with other carbon isotopes. When the organisms die, they stop incorporating new C-14, and the old C-14 starts to decay back into N-14 by emitting beta particles. The older an organism's remains are, the less beta radiation it emits because its C-14 is steadily dwindling at a predictable rate. So, if we measure the rate of beta decay in an organic sample, we can calculate how old the sample is. C-14 decays with a half-life of 5,730 years.
There are two problems I see with the answer so far, and I could find more I think. We don't know two things - we don't really know the rate of beta decay is steady, since we haven't observed it properly for a long time. We also don't really know if the half life of C-14 is always 5,730 or that time is based on current conditions. What if the expansion of the universe is recent and the rates of decay have substantially changed? It's reasonable that expansion and contraction of the universe would alter a lot of measured values for things at least possibly. There could be other things affecting rate of decay and half life that we don't understand or I don't anyway. I feel there are significant problems with our fixation with carbon dating.
I feel like moving on next to the question of how old the universe is and why people are trying to insult our intelligence by insisting they know it is 13.8 billion years old. Science reporting and instruction of young students is an insult to the intelligence. I have to study this question carefully though, perhaps we are confused by scientists in error and transgression and teaching methods that are inneffective. Perhaps it is the work of rich enemies or concealers.
"Perhaps sometimes the concealers have a disease in their soul, perhaps sometimes they are even ever going to hell forever. " An interpreation I made of what the Qur'an really said. It came to me in my morning meditations after prayers and my afternoon reflection. It is ordinarily translated as "The unbelievers have a disease in their heart, they are going to hell forever and ever." I just seem to recall that it was not in the normal present tense but something like the subjunctive, and that there were additional words the Arab translators left out. I think those Arab translators might be suffering from a disease in their soul. The soul is a living organizism that leaves your body when you die that exists in your mind, heart, liver, and some other tissues. Part of it is moleculor and part of it is nanoscopic I believe or suspect. I believe the aliens benefactors remove this from your when you die and bring your life (because the soul contains your life) to their King of Kings, who does with you as he desires. It is said you are brought to another universe, or dimension of the universe, where you can be subjected to far reaching fates ranging from eternal paradise and the personal companionship with the Lord, Angels and Prophets, as a Friend of God and Ally of God and even yes, a Son of God (though the Muslim to compete with the Christians were instructed something like "say God has not taken a son" oy I seek refuge with God from the enemy, the insane and the retarded angry people!")... I think people are very unwise to defy the Alien's King of Kings. It is said that be asking God about Jesus, we can come to know about reality. I have found this path has led me to much knowledge and experience that is fascinating, making me a better person, more courageous, and even bestowing on me special powers at times.
God's gifts are generous, and he grants the wishes we desire when we are righteous and clean, or if you would like to use similar words, goodly and holy.
I don't know whether the Qur'an is from God, or really do I know the answer or not, I know what I learned, is that knowledge proceeded from the Qur'an but more knowledge came in asking God for Jesus's help. I think you have to be righteous - as good as you can manage or can be, and maybe stretch it a little so that you might face persecution, it's up to you how much you want to get payed for being good in the face of evil and suffering, but I believe they pay you for it in the end and sometimes during your life.
The aliens will suck your soul out of your body when you die and their God King will judge you. I really believe it. If the universe is really way older, then it's for sure. Maybe the Bible meant 6 billion years and not 6 days. I'm pretty sure it's technologically possible for the people whose Government created this dimension of the universe. I've asked God about things, and seen things, including UFOs doing human impossible maneuvers. The enemies may never be forgiven, the concealers may suffer even hell forever. Be neither an enemy nor a concealer. The concealers try to hide God and hide God from the world, they deny and work crime sometimes to make this so, the enemies are enemies of God who are basically like terrorists, it is said that God will destroy the world because of the enemy's actions. Beware, don't be a fool, ask people about what they've seen. Believe in credible reports of miracles - put faith and them and seek. Your reward could be great, your punishment could leave you damned forever. Amen. They will never let us develop the soul sucking technology while the concealers, criminals and enemies run free, forget it. Abandon all acts of evil, cause harm only to those who harm themselves and others, help one another, save the world. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, be blessed for your righteousness, blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness's sake, theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Enter by the narrow gate, take a stand against evil, increase your faith and gain knowledge and wisdom from God, ask and you shall receive, but unto whom much is given much is asked. I seek refuge from the enemy with God the King of the Worlds. Blessed be his name, and kept holy (clean). Clean your soul with acts of righteousness, see that your body and mind are strengthened by it. Turn away from sin and repent, that your sin might be destroyed and you could earn the reward of eternal paradise, that you could escape from second death and damnation eternal. Don't be a fool, ask God and seek him humbly and with steadfastness, find steadfast men to cling to and help each other, you can be weak, you need the strength of God to defeat the enemy perhaps, you will be comforted for your righteounness and faith. May God help you.

You have more to do with children, woman.
He had gone to an Ivy League college.
He was sick and tired of feminist theory. Women this, and women that.
He had an idea for his woman, how about she get the kids dressed, and teach them how to clean their room.
"You have a uterus, you're the one who carries the babies." He said.
"Well fuck you honey, I am a free woman." She said, with that California pride.
"Well fuck you missus," he said with a uplifting tilt "you breastfeed them! My job is to go make twice as much money as you!" Then he chuckled.
"Well my job is to make as much money as you."
He practically wanted to kill her or something. Then he thought about it, no it was just to slap her. He thought about that.
"Well go and get the kids dressed." He said. "I'll spank you though if you don't show them how to clean their room..." It was sexy.
"Oh you naughty man..." She replied, with a slight huff in her voice.

Manners
I don't have any, but correcting this problem has highlighted some of the issues in manners
A rule for manners
1. Don't like to stop what is pleasant, as long as it's pleasing to the participants.
2. Don't get angry about interrupting pleasantness or about how pervasive law #1 is.
3. If it's not pleasing enough, you might be a good drug dealer if you mention how to make it better.
Lol it's all about being a good nature dealer, it's about all we can hope for biologically. You want to keep the dose at just enough to feel alright and or even good , when it comes good you don't want to interrupt man you know what I mena? Some people are only coming good in their head or their chest like once or twice a day -- if you don't come good in your head like once or twice a week at least you are clinically ill...... Drugs can actually kind of help man........ Try some of the new anti-psychotics or get some - really good liquor and a few codeine might just - Well as a nationalist drug intellectual, I say you can gain a lot from taking drugs just once or twice or month, it would be better if everyone took drugs once or twice a month and sorted out their issues a little bit more, rather than a few people really hogging the drugs supply and some of them really kind of fucking up the reputation of the drugs.
A-If you're fucking someone up with drugs, it's probably the guy who is more into world peace and mutual respect. He's the guy we've got programmed to be a complete fuck up with our "recommended for kids" Hollywood movies. Yea.
B- In Seattle they tried to outlaw the use of the term citizen and instead legislate that people say resident - but only at city hall, for now.
[the relationship is things that are going badly][it takes a minute to figure out]
A-That's not all that's going badly man, even though I had to take a minute to figure out what you meant. That is one of the reasons Caesar don't like us to watch to many of those poorly directed movies up here in the thinking class man. They teach the wrong example. Lately thinking on high is no one be a screw up at all dude. We've got enough that we don't really need anyone to be a screw up here anymore. In the old days there was so little you HAD to have some screw ups just so you could go to the Theatre. A lot of people don't understand that.
B- That's really deep dude, I am glad I met you. You seem a lot more informed than most people.
A-Yea and I pay a price for knowing things, it's stress and I need to drink sometimes just to forget.
B- It's always been like that, I guess.
A- come on man, it's not always always like that, sometimes you can be the guy who knows who has peace- me I don't have that peace man... whatever, my ex girlfriend wanted peace so we broke up.
B-Ha ha ha, she wasn't a dumb bitch though was she?
A- Of course not, but not even principled enough to be a devil I think. She was like a one of those fashion girls.
B- oh yea a fashion girl - what did she dress you up all dainty and stuff and suck your dick?
A- Ha ha ha of course not! Well a little bit.
B- yea so you had it good! Stop complaining dude other people miserable...
A- [it takes a second to reply] that's a bit invasive dude... I wish they would at least complain to their friend man.
Good manners.

World at sports
History through Sports Broadcast
"The Muslims rolled up on the Persians and Romans, wow it was a stunning Goal! The capture of Palestine led quickly to a sudden collapse of Egypt, Syria fell and then it was Mesopotamia, then it was the Persian tPlate, Muslim rampaged with a hat trick and wound up at the head of an Empire so large only the Empire of Alexander could be said to rival it!"
Goal!
"Suddenly Islam can't do it anymore, the conquered people are upset, this religious state is not what they were dreaming of at all!"
"In India, in Europe, in Central Asia, they're fighting back, Crusades 1-4 the pressure's on, Egypt falls, Jerusalem falls, Christians back in Syria, hat trick but it's still a close game... India reclaims the Indus valley, there's another Muslim offensive... India fights back against Muslim pressure, it's a tied game in the 1100s, Muslims still leading the series though 2-1..."
Our father who art in heaven! Hare Krishna Hare Rama!
Goal! Europe replaces slavery with serfdom for the most part, giving the most impoverished limited freedom. Goal!
"Genghis Khan! Wow first the Arabs and now the Mongols, the runaway conquest - Genghis is smashing the Muslim Empire, he's occupied China, he's in Russia - hat trick to the Mongols!"
I think the Great Sky God is pleased with the Mongol's ability to capture territory!
GOAL!!!!
Wow Gods of War - that's 150 million dead bodies in war in 600 years! You must be pleased or really upset with the quality of the generalship! Great party for the Gods of Blood!

Tearing the Mead Bench, We waxed poetic about our fallen enemies! GOAL!!!!!
The age of mass murder is temporarily put no hold - time for the better days of the high middle ages!
Cathedrals built, universities are opened - it's starting to get good again! War is once more fought by generals and knights for the most part. The blood coagulates in the Earth's crust, forming a scab. The Earth is ready for another one though - here it comes - can you guess from where???
He comes up on the left flank, waxing about the women and children, he strikes ---- GOALLLL!! GOAL!!!!!!!! GOAL!!!!! To the Trubadors man!
Oh my God it's raining blood in Spain! The Muslims and the Spanish are fighting an epic struggle, hordes of knights and footsoldiers from around the world, the infidels are put the torture on both sides - heaven sighs and the people cry out in their misery... Will there be a new liberator from Heaven?
Oh my GOD, the series is tied up at the half!
Oh no, not another Central Asian tribe! OMG It's the TURKS!!!! Mass murder ensues, millions are put to the sword as Central Asia, Persia, and then finally Asia Minor come under Turkish control! Hat trick for the Turks! Turks become the new leaders of the Islamic Caliphate in the East, the Arabs in decline! Turkey promotes some tolerance leading to a reduction in demand for liberation from Christian in Middle East.
GULE!
Byzantium is gone! God rest her soul. May her school children be freed on day again!
Pater Noster NOT Voster
The Mythical Great Bantu invasion of Central and Southern Africa occurs, attested to only by Linguistic mapping and some vague legends- it didn't even happen. That's how sneaky the Africans want to be. Lo! Bantus become great world power in the future. Yes you know they are naturally stealthy those Africans! Bantus ahead in the Series against other African Tribes- 4-1 - Ethiopia still stands!
AMANDLA! GOAL!!!!
China in epic civil strife, splits in two, war to reunite China - China back together sucessfully - the Chinese still hanging on the biggest most potentially prosperous and long lasting Empire!
Europe under pressure from Muslims and Turks
The Arabs in Spain and the Turks in the Balkans maintain their pressure. Christians are changing now, it's kind of a mutation, the Renaissance is bringing back the light of the Old World to Europe, people are rising up in education and arts... The Spainish finally kick the Muslims out, the Poles help the Austrians and now the Balkans are being reconquered, brave Venice and Genoa are capturing the Islands of the Eastern Mediterrenean!
Europeans tie the series up 2-2.
Portuguese sail down the African Coast! Chinese sail into the Indian ocean! A new day of trade and commerce is dawning - the Global Economy is born! 1400-1600 is upon us , the Age of Discovery in Europe! America is found and the great Kingdoms of the Aztecs, Mayas and Incas fall to the Spanish! Hat trick for Spain!
Turks invade India! Capture Dehli! India falling to the Muslims - Turks ahead 3-2 in the series- Raj calls in European backup, trade and commerce, cannons and soldiers pour in from Spain and Portugal first, now France! France conquers up to the Rhineland, makes huge treaties with India, in the Americas it's New France founded mostly as a peace treaty with the First Nations. Hat trick for France!
It's a new sort of diplomatic style of hat trick -this could be good for all those weeping fathers and mothers.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!
Britain on the Rise, Ireland and Scotland integrated into the Crown, territories in the Caribbean and Africa, the Dutch sail to India, capture Ceylon and the Cape Territory in Africa, Dutch a powerhouse for such a tiny country! Netherlands get's special mention! Britain on the rise, now rivalling France with it's German Allies...
The rest of the world goes into the Dark Ages while Europe forges ahead!
Europe leading the series, 3-2... GOAL!!!!!
Now Christian led by a cabal of Philosophers and probably rich with Polytheism, Europe ascends to a new level of human existence. The courts are opened as never before, law and medicine begin their progress towards modernity, the power of the Church begins to recede just as an explosion of new religious thought takes place. The great poets and play writes and novelists appear - science explodes - Europe awash in Great People, sons of Gods and Devils all!
13 colonies, Britain buys up land from the Dutch and wins treaty rights in India- begins to displace the French and Spanish from India. More treaties with Africans - slaves start coming to the New World in droves. Brazil begins to grow, the Spanish Empire in the Americas becomes the richest part of the world. Spain's court is rivalled by none and yet all Europeans strive to match the Spanish court in their excellence.
Japan begins to solidify after a long period of civil war. Proud of their heritage as warriors who've resisted the Chinese and the Mongols, believing they have Divine Favor the Japanese will play a pivotal role in world history in a couple of centuries.
The French grow rich off the trade in Rum, Tabacoo and Furs, the British too gain wealth from their overseas Empire- now Spain is slowing down, it has internal economic troubles, goes into debt - the Rise o the German Banking Princes. the Protestant civil wars end, religious freedom in most of Northern Europe is beginning to be a dream. Catholic societies accused of being repressive. Turkey begins it's long slide into decadence and ruin, France conveniently make a treaty with Turkey so She can visit Turkey while He's being decadent.
Beginnings of the cease fire with Islam well underway - Islam is no longer as deranged and militant as it used to be. The Indians with their collection of European partners have stabilized their military and political situation in the Sub Continent, soon the Europeans and Hindus will march on the Muslim with the British playing Emperor, - smart move by the Hindus - back up plan - blame the British!
Lol they blame the British! GOAL!!! Lol. India ties the series with the Muslims up 3-3 - will they remember Mr Smith?
Now the Europeans are really something, they seem to still remember a bit what life is like with a free press and democracy, and how it is better to value at least the middle class rather than just oppressing the shit out of everyone. Something is going on in Europe - all this science, law theory, philosophy, history - Athens and Rome are praised, Democracy and Republic are mentioned in the Kingdoms, causing a strange shudder to be felt in the beams which held the palace walls. In Scandinavia the old theygns are going on, there are lots of local councils - the independence of a number of small city states and provinces has led to the recognition that smaller bodies are more effective in governing themselves, the success of places like Burgundy and Venice and Prussia leads to the idea of the renovation of politics, while a military junta briefly overthrows the British Monarchy.
Oh no - oh no - not this - oh not - not revolution.... It explodes, first in the 13 colonies, but very quickly it spreads over the whole Americas and then France becomes the figurehead of the revolution in Europe. Promising an even more interesting and prosperous society, the vote is extended to all adult men with property, slaves are freed, first as a gesture by the more left wing of the French Revolution, which leads to a sudden reversal when the right wing is victorious. Haiti becomes the first modern Black Republic, the First country to free all slaves by most counts.
GOAL GOAL - FRENCH REVOLUTION AND HAITIAN REPUBLIC - GOAL GOAL GOAL!
Republic and Parliament are like new words, made new and large by these sudden changes. France goes on a string of victories in a kind of First World War, fighting the British as their arch opponents on the open seas and all around the world. France nearly takes the whole of Europe, but is exhausted and beaten back by the Russians all the way to Paris. France is down but not out. The revolution in the Americas goes off, altough many of the new Spanish Speaking Countries will struggle with dictators called caudillos - strong men.
The birth of the modern era - the beginnings of the talk of world peace and human brotherhood as a political reality, not just a temple dream.
It's suddenly dawned on people, at least in Europe, that all this talk of world peace and human brotherhood might not even be a bad idea at all. For one thing, they realize it might even make them happier and yet still more prosperous. For another the wars were getting to be a pain. People were tired of religious fundamentalism, political infighting and war-mongering. They began to envisage an international organization to keep the peace among nations.
The Congress of Vienna, the Red Cross, Franchise in the UK, the second French Republic, the Carlist question in Spain, Russia slow to reform, Germany rising, - European World Leadership.
Europe seems to speak for the soul of man - he wants to be pious, but he can't decide if his religion is quite right. He has chosen to be free from serfdom and wants to end slavery. He's got a pretty good hangover now that he's formed a large middle class and has imported tea and coffee. This leads to still more innovation. Between cigarettes, coffee and tea, and the improvement in the quality of alcohol, Europeans have the better buzz of the people. They are not as sad as the Muslims who don't have a drink and have such a "benighted" view of things. India buzzes too, though it's status as a part of a European Empire begins to irk it's leaders and possibly it's common people. India has gained from European allaince though, Indians are soon setting up businesses in Africa and the Caribbean, Indians are the first to get European education outside of Europe. [Apart from the still known as Indians]
Europe grows to it's greatest extent. Under the guise of promoting free trade and freedom of religion, while fighting the slave trade and competing with the Persians and Omanis [by the way Oman scored quite big Empire for a short time, it could happen again!] Europe quickly becomes the Mater Patria of Africa. Europe has a field day, getting treaties and toppling it's rivals, quickly overwhelming the whole continent in a new system of religion and education, trade and specialization, segregation and control. Certain African leaders collect quite a sum from their dealings with Europeans - they aspire to live like the European Princes they see in paintings and photos, or when they make a rare trip to Europe. Africans import European clothes - in China European imports are so cheap the Chinese economy sort of goes into a nosedive. Kind of like what is happening to the US now.
The Europeans are getting high! Drugs are not illegal in Europe, people can get as high as they want for a while - Europe starts to go insane from too many cigars - something weird is happening.
In the rest of the world, there is finally anxiety about the European situation. European were pretty fair and the were not different in their behavior from the other races to any truly noticeable extent. Conquest and Empire, the pursuit of honor and riches - there was nothing unusual about it.
The Europeans seemed to be interesting when you studied them - they were honorable and intelligent, they were pious and emotional, they had really live characters in their books and they had really complex and realistic stories. They had a lot of idea about God you know the One Father One Son, One Being with the Holy Spirit, they had a lot of ideas about business - you know you buy this and I'll take that, or I'll buy that and you take this - they even seemed to be idealistic, in a way perhaps that was endearing to people. They had this vague vision of a future dawning, one where there would be peace and religion would be balanced by philosophy. They wanted the people to have a say, but they weren't like saying everyone should have a say, just the people who had competence.
YES IN THOSE TIMES YOU HAD TO PROVE COMPETENCE BY HOLDING PROPERTY - GOAL!!!! NOW CENTURIES LATER COMPETENCE CAN BE PROVEN BY EDUCATION!!! GoaL!!!!!
There was a strange long peace, which was really peace in Europe with lots of crazy wars. The Wild West fell to US colonization, Argentina fought wars on the Pampas. China had a new huge civil war, the second in a while - China was fighting to get it's rights as well, in this period called the Enlightenment and Early Modern Era. Japan had good leadership that strove to catch up to Europe.
Africans had a good deal going in a lot of ways, they got the modern technologies, they had an end to their slavery civil wars, they got a lot of business with rest of the world to make up for the slavery, but Africans would prove to be disssattisfied with the arrangement on the grounds it was too profitable to Europe and it's Indian allies, and also that their Indian and European allies - were sort of racist, although it was thought better not to talk about that too much.
China's problems were enormous. It was ruled by an unpopular ethnic minority from the North, somewhat related to the Mongols. They were a warrior tribe but they were acting as a racial aristocracy. China chaffed under their rule, there were many secret societies formed as they had been in the past, to fight for the freedom and well being of the Chinese people. Some of these wanted to overthrow the government, and mainly they were religous. The Tai-Ping rebellion was led by Manicheans, a group originally from Persia which had it's last major following in China [the Chinese of all the Nations have had multi religious policy the longest - it was long a Kingdom with an Ideal of Heavenly Peace and a Pragmatic Approach to Human Life... The Chinese ideals did not match with the Qin Dynasty and their perceived faults. The Tai-Ping would be the end of the Manicheans in some way - a very long and bloody war similar in it's scale to the Wars of Napoleon, spiritually the Tai-Ping revolt was rocking the leaders of the world.
------------------
Now we are getting to close to modern history to have a an easy historical narrative. The picture becomes dark and complex, there are many arguements and debate still. There are plently of those who don't know even history, knowledge is a struggle to find what is accurate, and sometimes - what is useful.
"The Muslims rolled up on the Persians and Romans, wow it was a stunning Goal! The capture of Palestine led quickly to a sudden collapse of Egypt, Syria fell and then it was Mesopotamia, then it was the Persian tPlate, Muslim rampaged with a hat trick and wound up at the head of an Empire so large only the Empire of Alexander could be said to rival it!"
Goal!
"Suddenly Islam can't do it anymore, the conquered people are upset, this religious state is not what they were dreaming of at all!"
"In India, in Europe, in Central Asia, they're fighting back, Crusades 1-4 the pressure's on, Egypt falls, Jerusalem falls, Christians back in Syria, hat trick but it's still a close game... India reclaims the Indus valley, there's another Muslim offensive... India fights back against Muslim pressure, it's a tied game in the 1100s, Muslims still leading the series though 2-1..."
Our father who art in heaven! Hare Krishna Hare Rama!
Goal! Europe replaces slavery with serfdom for the most part, giving the most impoverished limited freedom. Goal!
"Genghis Khan! Wow first the Arabs and now the Mongols, the runaway conquest - Genghis is smashing the Muslim Empire, he's occupied China, he's in Russia - hat trick to the Mongols!"
I think the Great Sky God is pleased with the Mongol's ability to capture territory!
GOAL!!!!
Wow Gods of War - that's 150 million dead bodies in war in 600 years! You must be pleased or really upset with the quality of the generalship! Great party for the Gods of Blood!
Midgard strikes back, Rome falls, they are in North Africa, England is Conquered by the Saxons, Norway is on fire!
Tearing the Mead Bench, We waxed poetic about our fallen enemies! GOAL!!!!!
The age of mass murder is temporarily put no hold - time for the better days of the high middle ages!
Cathedrals built, universities are opened - it's starting to get good again! War is once more fought by generals and knights for the most part. The blood coagulates in the Earth's crust, forming a scab. The Earth is ready for another one though - here it comes - can you guess from where???
He comes up on the left flank, waxing about the women and children, he strikes ---- GOALLLL!! GOAL!!!!!!!! GOAL!!!!! To the Trubadors man!
Oh my God it's raining blood in Spain! The Muslims and the Spanish are fighting an epic struggle, hordes of knights and footsoldiers from around the world, the infidels are put the torture on both sides - heaven sighs and the people cry out in their misery... Will there be a new liberator from Heaven?
Oh my GOD, the series is tied up at the half!
Oh no, not another Central Asian tribe! OMG It's the TURKS!!!! Mass murder ensues, millions are put to the sword as Central Asia, Persia, and then finally Asia Minor come under Turkish control! Hat trick for the Turks! Turks become the new leaders of the Islamic Caliphate in the East, the Arabs in decline! Turkey promotes some tolerance leading to a reduction in demand for liberation from Christian in Middle East.
GULE!
Byzantium is gone! God rest her soul. May her school children be freed on day again!
Pater Noster NOT Voster
The Mythical Great Bantu invasion of Central and Southern Africa occurs, attested to only by Linguistic mapping and some vague legends- it didn't even happen. That's how sneaky the Africans want to be. Lo! Bantus become great world power in the future. Yes you know they are naturally stealthy those Africans! Bantus ahead in the Series against other African Tribes- 4-1 - Ethiopia still stands!
AMANDLA! GOAL!!!!
China in epic civil strife, splits in two, war to reunite China - China back together sucessfully - the Chinese still hanging on the biggest most potentially prosperous and long lasting Empire!
Europe under pressure from Muslims and Turks
The Arabs in Spain and the Turks in the Balkans maintain their pressure. Christians are changing now, it's kind of a mutation, the Renaissance is bringing back the light of the Old World to Europe, people are rising up in education and arts... The Spainish finally kick the Muslims out, the Poles help the Austrians and now the Balkans are being reconquered, brave Venice and Genoa are capturing the Islands of the Eastern Mediterrenean!
Europeans tie the series up 2-2.
Portuguese sail down the African Coast! Chinese sail into the Indian ocean! A new day of trade and commerce is dawning - the Global Economy is born! 1400-1600 is upon us , the Age of Discovery in Europe! America is found and the great Kingdoms of the Aztecs, Mayas and Incas fall to the Spanish! Hat trick for Spain!
Turks invade India! Capture Dehli! India falling to the Muslims - Turks ahead 3-2 in the series- Raj calls in European backup, trade and commerce, cannons and soldiers pour in from Spain and Portugal first, now France! France conquers up to the Rhineland, makes huge treaties with India, in the Americas it's New France founded mostly as a peace treaty with the First Nations. Hat trick for France!
It's a new sort of diplomatic style of hat trick -this could be good for all those weeping fathers and mothers.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!
Britain on the Rise, Ireland and Scotland integrated into the Crown, territories in the Caribbean and Africa, the Dutch sail to India, capture Ceylon and the Cape Territory in Africa, Dutch a powerhouse for such a tiny country! Netherlands get's special mention! Britain on the rise, now rivalling France with it's German Allies...
The rest of the world goes into the Dark Ages while Europe forges ahead!
Europe leading the series, 3-2... GOAL!!!!!
Now Christian led by a cabal of Philosophers and probably rich with Polytheism, Europe ascends to a new level of human existence. The courts are opened as never before, law and medicine begin their progress towards modernity, the power of the Church begins to recede just as an explosion of new religious thought takes place. The great poets and play writes and novelists appear - science explodes - Europe awash in Great People, sons of Gods and Devils all!
13 colonies, Britain buys up land from the Dutch and wins treaty rights in India- begins to displace the French and Spanish from India. More treaties with Africans - slaves start coming to the New World in droves. Brazil begins to grow, the Spanish Empire in the Americas becomes the richest part of the world. Spain's court is rivalled by none and yet all Europeans strive to match the Spanish court in their excellence.
Japan begins to solidify after a long period of civil war. Proud of their heritage as warriors who've resisted the Chinese and the Mongols, believing they have Divine Favor the Japanese will play a pivotal role in world history in a couple of centuries.
The French grow rich off the trade in Rum, Tabacoo and Furs, the British too gain wealth from their overseas Empire- now Spain is slowing down, it has internal economic troubles, goes into debt - the Rise o the German Banking Princes. the Protestant civil wars end, religious freedom in most of Northern Europe is beginning to be a dream. Catholic societies accused of being repressive. Turkey begins it's long slide into decadence and ruin, France conveniently make a treaty with Turkey so She can visit Turkey while He's being decadent.
Beginnings of the cease fire with Islam well underway - Islam is no longer as deranged and militant as it used to be. The Indians with their collection of European partners have stabilized their military and political situation in the Sub Continent, soon the Europeans and Hindus will march on the Muslim with the British playing Emperor, - smart move by the Hindus - back up plan - blame the British!
Lol they blame the British! GOAL!!! Lol. India ties the series with the Muslims up 3-3 - will they remember Mr Smith?
Now the Europeans are really something, they seem to still remember a bit what life is like with a free press and democracy, and how it is better to value at least the middle class rather than just oppressing the shit out of everyone. Something is going on in Europe - all this science, law theory, philosophy, history - Athens and Rome are praised, Democracy and Republic are mentioned in the Kingdoms, causing a strange shudder to be felt in the beams which held the palace walls. In Scandinavia the old theygns are going on, there are lots of local councils - the independence of a number of small city states and provinces has led to the recognition that smaller bodies are more effective in governing themselves, the success of places like Burgundy and Venice and Prussia leads to the idea of the renovation of politics, while a military junta briefly overthrows the British Monarchy.
Oh no - oh no - not this - oh not - not revolution.... It explodes, first in the 13 colonies, but very quickly it spreads over the whole Americas and then France becomes the figurehead of the revolution in Europe. Promising an even more interesting and prosperous society, the vote is extended to all adult men with property, slaves are freed, first as a gesture by the more left wing of the French Revolution, which leads to a sudden reversal when the right wing is victorious. Haiti becomes the first modern Black Republic, the First country to free all slaves by most counts.
GOAL GOAL - FRENCH REVOLUTION AND HAITIAN REPUBLIC - GOAL GOAL GOAL!
Republic and Parliament are like new words, made new and large by these sudden changes. France goes on a string of victories in a kind of First World War, fighting the British as their arch opponents on the open seas and all around the world. France nearly takes the whole of Europe, but is exhausted and beaten back by the Russians all the way to Paris. France is down but not out. The revolution in the Americas goes off, altough many of the new Spanish Speaking Countries will struggle with dictators called caudillos - strong men.
The birth of the modern era - the beginnings of the talk of world peace and human brotherhood as a political reality, not just a temple dream.
It's suddenly dawned on people, at least in Europe, that all this talk of world peace and human brotherhood might not even be a bad idea at all. For one thing, they realize it might even make them happier and yet still more prosperous. For another the wars were getting to be a pain. People were tired of religious fundamentalism, political infighting and war-mongering. They began to envisage an international organization to keep the peace among nations.
