I am conducting a brief, informal study. You can help by answering two very simple questions:

1. Do you believe humans evolved from fish? Yes or no.
2. Do you watch tranny porn? Yes or no.

Do please note that if you are too retarded to answer with simple "yes" and "no" type answers, both answers will be counted as a yes. Thanks!

A few quick facts you ought to know.

>the American colonies did not have "taxation without representation", they were offered seats in Parliament and refused
>George III was the furthest thing from the Hitler-esque figure he was made out to be, just a harmless bloke who liked shagging his potato-faced German wife
>the Boston Massacre happened when a rioting mob threw rocks at soldiers and John Adams actually defended some of the latter in court and got them exonerated
>none of the taxes in question were unreasonable and all were necessary to recoup the costs of the world war that George Washington started
>It was entirely justified to retain armed soldiers on the Canadian border after 1783 in the event of American invasion
>Impressment of sailors was also yellow journalism, they were trying to catch Royal Navy deserters and no Americans were intentionally kidnapped
>the US lost most major engagements in the War of 1812, there were a few naval "victories" won by cheating when you used ships-of-the-line you passed off as frigates to pulverise sloops half their size that were manned by totally green sailors
>the burning of Washington was justified for your having burned York, Canada
>the Battle of New Orleans was meaningless and affected nothing as the war had already been ended about three weeks earlier, but it took a while for news to cross the Atlantic
>the entire war was just a minor distraction anyway because we had a real apocalpytic war to the death going on in Europe

How did the concept of Hell evolve throughout history?
Because the Bible doesn't mention Hell that much, hardly at all. It mentions Sheol sometimes, but it's not associated with eternal hellfire. It mentions the Lake of Fire in Revelation, but it doesn't explain anything about it being a place of everlasting torment.
So was Hell just a concept invented by the Catholic church?

>land reforms were decently successful
>intellectuals, artists, scientists were valued
>fashion was still diverse and western/traditional mixed
>industrial output increased by 133% during the first 5 year plan
>crime, drug addition, and foreign exploitation were completely wiped out within a couple years

So what went wrong starting in 1958 onwards? Should Mao have died in 1957?

Were the Japanese really zealous suicidal soldiers?

I feel like this is something that people who both do and don't like the Japanese would choose to believe. Americans would want to uphold this image as a way of glazing the japs and making them feel like they are a respected former enemy. Butthurt changs might choose to believe it because they want to dehumanize their enemies.

But I find it hard to believe that some young guy plucked off of some rice field in rural Japan would be so ready to die violently. Especially when most Japanese probably didn't even know what the emperor looked like outside of grainy photographs. So am I wrong to assume that these guys were probably scared shitless and terrorized by their commanders into following reckless orders?
