Every generation gets the Greeks and Romans it deserves.


History is a bad joke played by the living on the dead.

It's just something that people who are interested in the Thirty Years War need to have seen. 

It couldn't be a computer game, because if you look closely there are things going on in several of the pictures as well as the text that you could never get past the censors.  The text, by the way, is very close to modern French -- most of the differences are in the wacky way they spelled things back then.

Yes, bad enough you've got a naked lady on your avatar pic. But now you're teasing us with Musketeer drawings. Hell, I don't care, I'll buy it!

More naked ladies (and a mod to go with it).

I have seen the originals. They are displayed in Les Invalides in Paris. Gruesome, and gratuitously cruel stuff from the Thirty Years War. They also display some very good Napoleonic stuff, which if we're lucky Philippe might oblige on?
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat
