Has anyone told the chinese that they aren't a real superpower until they've invaded Afghanistan? Alexander went there, the mongols, the british had the Great Game at the very least. Don't think the romans got that far though.

The Romans had Gaul and Britain. I'd call that equivalent given the level of civilization in those areas at the time.

The Romans never could quite finish off the tribes in Britain, as well.

All I know about Great Britain in Afghanistan I got from the Man who would be king with Sean Connery and Michael Caine where they alone conquer a tribe with martini-henry rifles and claiming to be the foretold descendant of Alexander.

The Romans owned England pretty solidly, for about 300 years; more like 450 if you count footholds. They didn't bother putting much effort into Scotland though. One emperor wanted it & traveled to lead the invasion himself (Septimius Severus) but was old, sick, and died after a brutal first attempt. His sons were too busy vying for power to get the campaign going again. Rome owned England until it began drawing back its borders due to the political clusterfuck that made management virtually impossible and the threat of invasion elsewhere.

Helldump Immunity. posted:About time. I needed some more of that sweet, sweet contractor blood money gently caress I need to get off my rear end, get back into shape and soak that poo poo up. Im sure some company would want a radio operator that had a golden touch. Couldn't hike worth a poo poo but I'm sure I could learn for the right price. I wonder, could you soak up those sweet sweet welfare dollars and do a security deployment? Someone already posted the streamer from Ferguson getting his phone stolen. What I find even more funny is that he blames the police for stealing it. http://imgur.com/zWlTBCf Hows the whole ISIS thing going now that the news has shifted to civil disobedience? A co worker was talking about how two of his buddies are going over to help the kerds and their getting paid poo poo loads of money. I'm just hoping they talked to the right people and dont end up getting their heads cut off

DAS Super! posted:So did building a wall keep the lessers out? Worked better than the Chinese version. The Romans also kept up what could loosely be termed "diplomatic relations" with the tribes beyond the wall, though. Negotiations and bribery, the usual poo poo.

Gonna get himself a book deal and on that speaking circuit. Sure only a specific sect of the population will want to hear from him, but they'll be pretty enthusiastic to meet the man himself methinks

Duzzy Funlop posted:That seems a little beyond the amount of *wink, wink* you're allowed to give the jury before sequestering them. It probably didn't matter in this case because the physical evidence didn't suggest he was shot while fleeing. HOWEVER...a. why the hell hasn't Missouri updated it's criminal code since...you know...1985. b. Every borderline competent first year law student knows about Tennessee v. Garner...why did she not know the statute was unconstitutional AT THE TIME SHE HANDED IT OUT? c. why are they handing out statutes at all? Doesn't Missouri have stock jury instructions that (presumably) include all relevant case law developments? All valid questions. My take on Ferguson is it was probably the right end result in this particular case, but it's revealed a lot of issues with their system that don't have me confident the right result will be reached the next time.
