"(D) Largely because of changes he made in Roman government, Rome had the stability and strength it needed to endure longer"
However, it stil fell. Could you argue that it also caused it's collapse?
Also: (A) He came first.
So Nero was better than Washington? Or really any president?
Pretty obvious since my user name is Julius, and my profile picture is of the SPQR, an era of Rome.
Julius Caesar himself did so much for Rome, he was intelligent, and he was ruthless. He seized power from the corrupt Augustus, destroyed the old German tribes, and even invaded Egypt, bring it under Rome's wing.
Beside, define 'better'?
As stated below, no sciences this term, last term I had my science course.
As for waht you said about getting rid of some of the courses, I disagree and agree. The statement about PE being gone will never happen, we have a too high of a level of obesity, as such, we need it the class.
We have our 5 mandatory, each at an hour each, one elective(grade10), another hour, and after grade 10, you have all but one course as an elective for an hour. Keep in mind though that we also swap classes mid-term. Last term I went with PE and Science, this term I have French and History.
Because no one else will, I will.
In the current Education system, for Canada, we have a five class schedule, again, at least in the School I know. These five courses generally are as follow: Economics, History, French, Math, and English. Please, tell me as to what we're suppose to get rid of to fit in two new courses.
I want to reply to this, but if I reply in a way of sarcasm, I'll not be helping the situation. If I reply in a way in which I'm taking it seriously, it'll make me seem like the sarcasm is going over my head, making me look like an idiot.
Well played, Mad One. Well played indeed.
...Why the Hell will you report someone to the authorities for SLANDER? Maybe if it was major HARASSMENT I'd agree with you, maybe if it was a DEATH THREAD I'd agree with you, but SLANDER? Y'know, the FBI has nothing better to do then deal with some random civilian's problems and hunt out this person's IP, then either A: Make him pay cash, or B: Bring him to jail...OH WAIT! I'm pretty sure Slander isn't even against the law. Please, use some logic in your OT, or, at least stop making debates like this. What's the point?
sighs Humanities intelligence seems to be dropping by the day.
I ask you two things from this entire post: What is the point? And do you know anything about Communism?
Communism on the political compass is refereed to as, 'left' or, 'east'. Capitalism is refereed to as 'right' or, 'west.' Yet, North and South? North is Authoritarian, and South is liberal. You can be very left, to the point of Communism, yet you do not have to be Authoritarian.
Please, don't use propaganda to judge Communism.
Amazing guy, fairly smart. We butt heads(more than most realize). He's a trollish person once you get to know him, and he's a little too... capitalist (if any of you think I'm serious with that, find out more about Kozlov.) for my liking, other than that, smart and cool guy, glad to know him.
No, it shouldn't be the publics choice. If the public find said person funny, yet said person is going around spewing nonesense and utter spam, should the people be allowed to keep this, 'friend' of theirs?
It should not be the peoples choice, but the choice of the leaders of our community, the Mod(s?).
Also, for you sakes,
am your college professor that you requested, with a doctorate in Mathematics. I will break this down as simply as possible and end this debate as approx. 10 students have already asked me this today.
The problem as it is written is 6÷2(1+2) , the ÷ cannot be substituted with a fraction bar because they have different ranks on the order of operations. It is an illegal math move to do this. The bar ranks with parentheses, ÷ is interchangeable with . therefore the problem must be solved as 6÷2(1+2) NOT 6 (over) 2(1+2) we do the parentheses first, so 6÷2(3), the parentheses are now no longer relevant, because the number inside is in it's simplest form. Every single number has implied parentheses around it.
6÷2(3)
(6) ÷(2)(3)
6÷23,
or even converting the division to multiplication by a reciprocal (a legal math move)
(6)(1 (over) 2)(3)
are all correct ways to write this problem and mean exactly the same thing. Using pemdas, where md and as are interchangeable, we work from left to right, so (3)(3) or
33= 9
Just because something is implied rather than written does not give it any special rank in the order of operations.
The problem in it's simplest form, with nothing implied would look like this:
(1+1+1+1+1+1 (over) 1) ÷ (1+1 (over) 1) ((1(over) 1) + (1+1 (over) 1))
From here, nothing is implied, This again, works out to 9.
If the symbol '/' was used this whole debate would be ambiguous since that symbol can mean "to divide by" or it could mean a fraction bar.
HOWEVER, because the ÷ symbol is used, it can not be changed to mean a fraction bar because that would change the order of operations and thus the whole problem, you can't change a symbol to mean something because you want to, in doing so you are changing the problem.
Once and for all, the answer is 9.
Hopefully some of my students see this so I can stop answering this question.
End of debate... hopefully.

Yes, because what we're learning now is good for nothing. I highly doubt I'm ever going to need to calculate the velocity of a boat.
If it's more along the lines of hunting, cooking, etc. then yes, the later should be taught. They help in life, politics is just brain food.
Not really. Their theory was either let a nation flourish and watch as it grows, or watch as it falls and dies. Hitler was more of a "make the ultimate race!" Kinda guy.
Also, why is this debate even here? Aren't you someone who complains about, 'drama' on CD? If so...
(He, waiting for someone to get the irony in my post.)
"Hence the reason people who believe in any god are a theists and those who don't are atheists."
...You literally just agreed with me...? My argument is that if you don't believe in God(Noun), then you're Atheist. If you believe in Zeus, then you're Theist.

Noun
A god or goddess (in a polytheistic religion): "a deity of ancient Greece".
Divine status, quality, or nature: "a ruler driven by delusions of deity".
HENCE, Satan is a Deity, making him a god.
Look at the words carefully. It doesn't say, for Atheism, that they don't believe in any other super human body, it says they don't believe in God.(IE: Christianity's deity.)
You can be an Atheist and still believe in the Olympic gods, for example.

Right from the horses mouth. The congruous thing to do is to stick by it, and continue to live through the hard times. Hence, they lack the courage to do that.
Okay, okay, what? Rome falling because of the taxes? Really? How? Rome fell because of the fact that the way they expanded was solely by taking the resources of conquered territory then using those same resources to invade again. Not taxes. Not pensions. Imperialism. I should know, ever notice my profile picture?
Don't get me wrong, I understand suicide. I feel like trying to break this tie, so I'll be the Devil's advocate here. If anyone wants my real opinion, message me.
Yes, it can be seen as cowardly. You're leaving the hard times without thinking of anyone else and you're not standing to fight. Hence, cowardly.
"Look at Ancient Greece, they stayed more within themselves. "
wait, what?
Ancient Greece staying mostly with themselves? Alexander the great conquored Persia, Egypt, and pretty much everything in between the two. The greeks destroyed Troy, too. The spartans themselves took over a lot of stuff(Not sure as to the numbers with that one.)
So, before you go around saying how 'wrong history' is a petpeeve of your's, please double check your facts.

No, it shouldn't. When you think about it, Euthanasia is literally just suicide accisted by the government, yet the government creates things to help stop suicide from happening. Why, you ask? Because the killing of one self is generally frowned upon.
(For those who are wondering, I base the whole government suicide thing on the fact that this is suicide prevention month.)
Why exactly are you having a go at SovietSpy, when he's done pretty much nothing? He asked why about the friendship. You replied about minding his own business, etc. Yet, this is all on a public debate? Really, you shouldn't be having a go at the poor lad when he's done nothing.
ASSUMING it was a fair battle(a ratio of 1:1) the romans would win. If you do the battle under the proper Emperor, then there'd be no compeition. The romans litterally were born to fight, and were trained to do it. IF it was the Spartans..well, that's another story.
