Was it a foregone conclusion that Japanese expansionism and their hunger for resources would lead them into attacking the Allied Powers and the United States? How strong were the voices in the government and military who were opposed to it? Why weren't they listened to? Even without hindsight surely they were already far too involved in the Chinese invasion to take the catastrophic risk of opening up the war elsewhere, they knew not to provoke the Soviets for example.

It wasn’t inevitable. No oil embargo, no war. Without it Japan likely would’ve remained laser-focused on the guagmire in China, maybe attack the Soviets if the opportunity arises but it’s a stretch.+ 1

The US slapped a full embargo on Japan, seized all of their assets, and demanded they withdraw 100% from China. War was a certainty. Now, if the US had been less aggressive, played hot and cold, war might have been avoided or at least delayed a year or more, when the US would be in a much stronger position.

Because this retarded spic read Mao and instead of adapting his ideology into the Peruvian context (just like Mao adapted Marxism-Leninism into the Chinese context), he just copied Maoism without considering that his retarded spic rapebaby mongrel ass constitutes an oppressor, colonialist class for native americans, and instead of backing down, he doubled down on his genocidal colonial tendencies with a Maoist facade basically, of course with spics like him being on top because 99% of spics are just like snowniggers or kikes, colonial parasites with genocial tendencies except unlike whites and jews, spics are incompentent subhumans that have only turned their pseudo-countries into shitholes.

They were back in the day when food prep was more difficult. The problem with pigs is that they will eat ANYTHING, which makes it a lot easier to have parasites and other illnesses survive in the meat unless you are able to afford to cook it properly.

No, they banned them because everyone saw them as filthy things and assumed their meat was also filthy was what made people sick. You are a retarded faggot that read the scripture and took it at face value.

>creator of all things Creatio ex nihilo did not exist when the new testatment was composed, let alone when the old testament was composed. Genesis originally describes the separation of the preexisting chaotic ocean into land and water, etc. Creation is separated and given form, but no matter is created "from nothing." The idea that matter is some created thing, rather than always existing, was forced into christianity by greek philosophy, and is not native to ancient Hebrew thought or any other ancient near eastern religious system.+ 3

>The idea that matter is some created thing, rather than always existing, was forced into christianity by greek philosophy Do you have a Greek philosopher in mind to blame for creation ex nihilo? I can't think of or find any clear examples from a quick search. Even Plato's demiurge used preexisting matter. Stoics thought creation out of nothing was impossible and Zeus created the world out of himself. And many philosophers believed that the universe or its most fundamental element(s) have been around forever. Possibly the earliest really strong case of ex nihilo I know of -- even stronger than orthodox ex nihilo imo -- is what's attributed to the Christian gnostic Basilides by the heresiologist Hippolytus. "There was a time when nothing existed, neither matter nor form, nor accident, neither the simple nor the compound, neither the unknowable nor the invisible, neither man nor angel nor god nor any of these things which are called by names or perceived by the mind or the senses. Then, the not-being God, without consciousness, without perception, without purpose, without aim, without passion, without desire, had the will to create the world." Hippolytus thinks Basilides borrowed heavily from Aristotle, but Aristotle thought the universe was eternal, so Aristotle isn't the source for this doctrine. The wikipedia page on the topic says it was first explicitly articulated a bit later, in the late 2nd century, by Theophilus of Antioch, though.+

This is a false assertion which is laughably indefensible, which is all the atheists on this board seem able to do. Creatio ex nihilo is taught throughout the bible beginning in Genesis 1. “The earth was without form and void” is a primitive manner of saying it did not exist, and then Moses details everything being created by God, even light itself. In Jeremiah 10:11 the Israelites are commanded to tell the pagans “The gods who did not make the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens.” In John 1:3 we are told “All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.” In Romans 4:17 Paul refers to God as He who “calls into being the things that are not”. So it is very clear from beginning to end that God is the creator of all things according to the scriptures, however, my point was not so much that matter must be created (although it is true it must), but that matter belongs to the category of nature, it is part of the natural order of things. God exists beyond this order, independent of it, and is the creator of it, so for God to be a material entity would fundamentally contradict the biblical worldview on a basic level and posit the existence of something more fundamental than God Himself.+ 1
