What was the most Liberating day in History?

[Powertone]

some feminist might say burning their bra was a liberating day...FREE THE BOOBIES!

Thermopylae...

this is funny if you know anything about spartan civilization. honestly, dude, you should fucking hate them.

I've yet to see him comment on anything that he actually knew anything about. The only difference between AJ and Garbagecan is that AJ is just barely smart enough to use the big words so some people are fooled.

Did anyone notice that only Hogjack and LT have voted in the poll? That says something.
On Jesus...his death didn't liberate anyone in the sense that we're talking here.
That stupid poll option about the book. It's stupid. Not the book itself, it may be a very good book. Having it as an option to this poll is stupid.
Why is VE Day more liberating than VJ Day? And how did it end WWII?
In some ways that's a more stupid option than the book one.
All in all I'd say this was a stupid idea from the start. Please don't try it again.

What's even funnier is hogjack hasn't posted in almost three weeks.

I always figured him for an alt. I just hope it's not LT's alt.

Thermopylae...

That was just an ass load of killing with no real liberation. The ensuing battles after Thermopylae were more liberating in the sense that the greeks didn't get dominated.

I'd say the day Lee surrendered to Grant deserves at least honorable mention.

Depends on who (or where) you ask.

Good call. The day Depends were invented.

The Spartans took the heart out of the Persian army.

I've read Herodotus, I kinda doubt some of my critics have...



It was a great engineering victory as well as a military victory proving a free man's brain is better than a tyrant's platoon of soldier-slaves...

No Spartan after Lykurgus ever had a "free man's brain," and the Persians who died at Thermopylae did not die from lack of enthusiasm. The differential casualty rates between the Greek and Persian sides proved only the superiority of Greek heavy-infantry tactics and weaponry.

This is what happens when you pretend to be smart. You end up looking foolish.

I'd say the defeat of Nazi Germany is the most liberating event in US history, although it's tough to put that on a single day, as things went poorly for the Germans for a while before they surrendered.

Hey, stupid, if the Persians win, no Democracy, no Roman Republic...

 

[tactful]

When I was discharged,
for the world, the 300 Hundred thingy for it's time,
and of late, the Magna Carta, was pretty reasonable.
The subject merits discussion.

The Persians did win at Thermopylae, you idiot.

 

[Frisco_Slug_Esq]

The Persians did win at Thermopylae, you idiot.

But in victory phyrric the Greeks took the will to fight away from Xerxes army who became disillusioned with the idea of fighting the rest of the Greeks, for free men had a reason to fight other than expanding their lords riches and lands.

The reason the Persians lost is it gave the Greeks time to raise navies and armies...

You're stupid like a rock.

 

[naughtycakes]

no, think about it. what is a zero? a zero is nothing. year zero would be year nothing, the year that doesn't exist because that's what a zero is, it is something that is not.

Zero was invented by the A-rabs

Yeah, yeah?

Well.... I read Herodotus, in the original Attic Greek! So there!

Haha, that's actually true, but I smoked so much pot in college, I don't even remember who won, but at least I can admit it

They won the battle and lost the war.

Thus liberating Democracy and enabling it to spread making it the greatest liberating battle of written history.

Dude, they lost the battle, give it up

What was the most Liberating Day in History?




NOT



Who won the battle. Read with comprehension. Is it the pot still?

By holding off a million man army, the 3000 liberated the West from Persian dominance for the rest of history at a time when it looked like they were unstoppable.
