I'd like to call myself a taoist since I follower taoist beliefs and principles. Any taoists or taoist-wannabes (like myself) in here?
My favorite conquerer is Ghangis Khan. Contrary to popular belief, he wasn't really a brutal man. He only killed those who resisted. People should know when they are conquered.
I am aware that you will fire at me in any seconds.

Sup Last Legend,
You won't get flame from me.. actually i second that... Ghangis Khan is a great conquerer and a great man. I study his life last year out of curiousity and found that his greatness and countributions to the modern world is very little talk about because he's "asian and consider a heathen warrior."
I like the fact that he and his counquer all of china not through military might but though covincing the people that they are more chinese than chinese...

It didn't help them tho, you think they learn after 2 previous defeats?

The 3rd and last failed Mongols invasion:
QUOTE
"This expedition was little larger than the previous one. The Mongols did not perceive that their problem had been an inability to defeat the Vietnamese in battle so much as the difficult environment of Vietnam. The new force depended rather more heavily upon Southerners, including among the more than 70,000 troops for the expedition 15,000 "Li" troops, minorities drawn from Hainan island. Yunnan also sent a contingent of six thousand troops. The largest single group were again Mongols and Han Chinese forces who had submitted in the fall of the Song, drawn from the Yangtze valley and the Huguang. It was decided that resupply would be conducted largely by sea, a change over the previous strategy when the relief army led by Togun had set up an overland supply line."

Titanic was a good movie to watch 2. It basically narrated everything that happen from the time it left the port to America. It has a lot of historical facts except Jack and Rose ain't real. So yea. You can't based opinion on movies, unless it's a documentary. Even then it's still a bit sketchy.

Three reasons why on my guess
Hes one of those dirty priest who pray on the weak like u by seducing u in a sexual manner
secondly that is not right for a priest to touch anyone like that even u
thirdly he is a molestor, or bad priest
and lastly God does not permit adultery , sexual orientation or manner in which it seen as voilent as physcial and mental abuse as said in the Ten Commandments

How could a conqueror be cool when all they do is kill people. Haven't you heard of the saying? Kill 1 man, you're a murderer, Kill 1000 men you're a mass murderer, but if you kill all, you're a conqueror.

where did you learn this from...becuase it couldnt be farther from the truth. honestly, wtf are you talking about?
CHRISTIANS believe that Jesus is the son of God and he is the messiah. Catholics place special importance on Mary...i dont know if they believe in Jesus or not (some of my catholic friends do and some dont so *shrugs*)
