I really don't, I'm actually pretty lazy - and I really, really need to do well on this essay, I got fucking jobbed on the midterm (submitted a grade review that is still pending, as far as I know), so it really does come first atm.
Speculative essay based on the premise of what would have happened had the Edict of Milan never been issued by Constantine, thus the Roman Empire never turns Christian and stays pagan until its inevitable dissolution. 5-7 pages, double-spaced, sources cited, title page not counting to total.
Here's hoping Europe likes a shitload less societal organization.

Eh, they've been through worse. The black plague, the crusades, the goddamn dark ages, the Protestant reformation, countless years of war and having Russia siting on it's door step for hundreds of years just a licking it's chops. Oh yea and the whole 19th and 20th century thing. I think your paper might be a minor setback. :p

Yeah? Imagine Europe with all that war, with the Black Death, only with the literal only unifying entities it ever had up to that point: the Roman Empire and the Catholic Church - either gone or nonexistent. The only common ground that Europe ever really had, even in the darkest of times - gone.

Bah, Russia did fuck all for most of history.

The more developed, centralised and richer Western European nations were more important.

On European history my city is probably interesting for being involved in long distance trade from perhaps the 7th Century and minting coins that have appeared all over Europe during the 9th Century.

Also has the dubious distinction of being the only city to be excommunicated by the Pope.

You. Are. Despicable. I love it, but most Russian planes are UFO's, especially the Ishaak in War Thunder... I do not approve of their usage by anyone and when given the choice, I always frak them up. Them and their bull-honey stalinwood. You know how many times in that game I have been rammed by Russian planes, and they just fail to give a frak? 37 times, I keep a record... *had to check it actually*. I only started keeping track after a dozen other unrecorded instances. I have only witnessed three other aircraft that weren't Russian (originally) and survive ramming me, intentionally or otherwise. All three were PBY-5a's. I love Cats. ^-^


IIRC, aerial ramming was a valid Soviet tactic in WWII. So it doesn't really surprise me that you're getting rammed by Soviet planes.

If I ever stayed in I would probably be a very different person, despite the fact that i grew up in a very progressive family. I also wouldn't be as friendly towards the likes of Liri or other LGBT people on this site. :(

Here's my city, a rather young one without much history, but lots of potential to become a metropolis in the future. I'll drop some hints, it's situated next to some of the largest dry lake beds in the world, there is a USAF Testing Center right next door, it has recently redoubled its efforts to "antiquitize" itself, and it currently is 12:15PM at time of posting.

EDIT: I'll note that a solid 90+% of American cities are 'young'.

ROFL, what gave it away? xD What did I say that wouldn't of gave it away... :rofl:

I was half-expecting for someone to say Bakersfield, California City, Mojave, Rosamond, or Palmdale... I'm so proud of you guys getting it the first time around...

How about another round, my home city: It is in the same state, but 14 hours north of my current residence, it is the largest city in its county, and it has three separate beaches. Oh, and this should be a dead giveaway, but before you google this place, just try to find it, Castle Rock and Battery Point Lighthouse. :lol:

My Home Town is a village near a town, in Britain, known for its chair making. It's in a home county, its museum is shite, and its county's arms were first borne at the battle of Agincourt.

My Village is ironically named, for it is up on a hill, and I must walk South-East to get to the town centre. GO!
