Post moments in history that made you feel

>Anne de Gaulle was the youngest daughter of General Charles de Gaulle. She was born in Trier, Germany, where her father was stationed with the Army of Occupation in the Rhineland. She was born with Down Syndrome and in a time where disabled children were sent to institutions, she lived with her family until her death.

>There was one sacred rule in the de Gaulle household: Anne was never to be made to feel different or less than anyone else. Charles de Gaulle was noted for his reserve and even with family members he was usually not very demonstrative. Not so with his daughter Anne, who received a warmth that he had seemed to be storing for his entire life just for her. He would entertain her with songs, dances, and pantomimes, he would often act as a child himself to bring her joy. One Colombey resident recalled how he used to walk with her hand-in-hand around the property, caressing her and talking quietly about the things she understood. She was, he said simply, “My joy. She helped me overcome the failures in all men, and to look beyond them.”

>In 1948, Anne succumbed to pneumonia, a month after her 20th birthday and died in her father's arms. Upon her death, weeping, her father said: "Now, she's like the others."

>On 22 August 1962, Charles de Gaulle was the victim of an attempted assassination at Petit-Clamart. He later said that the potentially fatal bullet had been stopped by the frame of the photograph of Anne that he always carried with him, placed this particular day on the rear shelf of his car. When he died in 1970, he was buried in the cemetery of Colombey beside his beloved daughter.

>She could only utter one word clearly and confidently in her entire life: ‘Papa’

Well he was a hardcore Catholic.

what a waste of time and compassion
it would have been better to grant her a merciful quick dead and have another child instead

...

>the autism is strong with this one

Like, I hate de Gaulle, but I'm not gonna shit on him for loving his Down Syndrome daughter

what's the point?
All the effort, all the love he put in her, and she died a few years later, without achieving anything.
It's basically like having a pet

She died of pneumonia, I don't think it had anything to do with her Down syndrome.

>She could only utter one word clearly and confidently in her entire life: ‘Papa’
She was completely useless and wasted a lot of time and effort of her familiy

>love should only be given to that which can return your investment and is most useful

I'm sorry. It may be awful living your existence.

People with down's syndrome have a higher susceptibility to infections compared to other people

>love should only be given to that which can return your investment and is most useful
correct. Loving a downie is wasted emotional investment

You already made this thread

No i didn't. You must confusing me for someone else.

Its hard waking up alone every day

Holy shit you're edgy.
What kind of hiusehold did you grow up in faggot?

better alone than with a downie

>124x125

how is that edgy?
back in the day it was completely normal to leave a disfigured or retarded baby in the woods

One of the Ming Dynasty's most able emperors, the Hongzhi Emperor, is the only emperor in Chinese history who remained monogamous because he loved his wife IRL.

The touching part is rather spoiled because his monogamy triggered succession crisis within the Ming Dynasty, though fortunately it was bloodless. Hongzhi mostly had daughters and only had two sons, one of which died while the other succeeded him as emperor but died childless, leading to a cousin who was so not expecting the throne to succeed as Ming Emperor

Yes, in the time of witchhunts

...

You okay, man? You wanna talk?

so let me get this straight: if you had a child with down syndrom, you wouldn't abort it?

>It's okay to be against retards unless one of your beloved ones is a retard too
Hypocrisy.

It makes me happy to know de Gaulle found his intellectual equal in life.

...

>it's more merciful to murder a mentally handicapped person than to give them a good life.
I seriously hope you are kidding.

In the classical age where what we call "european western culture" was born.

Not that guy, but I certainly would, without feeling the least bit bad about it.

If I lived before conditions like that were detectable in the womb, though, I'd still take care of my kid with Down, and wouldn't feel like it was a "wasted investment," because I'm not an edgy fuck.

I'd only take care of a retarded child because of social stigma, and pressure from relatives and my partner.
If they were okay with abandoning it, I would instantly do that.
Society should just move past the idea that human life is inherently valuable. The majority of people have worth, they are useful, they have ideas, thats valuable. But some of them don't, and they lack value, and we shouldn't sacrifice for them.
Yes, I want prisoners to be used as slave labor and for medical experiments too. Sue me.

I'm not gonna sue you, but I'm not going to take you seriously, and neither will anybody else out there in the real world. But you can go on thinking like that all you want, to your heart's content; enjoy.

You have no argument other than MUH FEELS ;((((

>Yes, I want prisoners to be used as slave labor and for medical experiments too. Sue me.
Keep those Anti-Western values to yourself. If you try to force them on other people you will be suppressed with extreme prejudice.

>you will be suppressed with extreme prejudice

So much for the tolerant west.

>So much for the tolerant west.
The West has no tolerance for the intolerant.

You can easily argue a murderer isn't tolerant, yet you'd house and feed him for 50 years instead of make him work for the common good he butchered with his intolerant murder.

This

Consider it a mercy killing

>You can easily argue a murderer isn't tolerant, yet you'd house and feed him for 50 years instead of make him work for the common good he butchered with his intolerant murder.
You of all people should be glad that the West tolerates Murderers. after all, you are the person who boasted that he will murderer his child for being mentally handicapped.

>the tolerant west doesn't tolerate discussion and punishes thought crime

Aye aye, caliph Salam al Fakir.

People abort children. Just think of it as a late term abortion.

>>the tolerant west doesn't tolerate discussion and punishes thought crime
Yes. the West hasn't and shall never tolerate the thought about killing the Mentally Handicapped simply for being Mentally Handicapped. Just like how the West will never tolerate the thought of justifying Rape, under any circumstances. If that displeases you, then i can trust you can find the door.

You don't kill them for being mentally handicapped, you kill them for not having worth. They are a cost, and an opportunity cost. Supporting their useless existence means other, worthy people, are getting less than they need or aren't being born.
I know a family with a retarded child, the mother had to quit her career to take care of it, the dad has to work double shifts, they are all miserable and tortured. Its like a tumor ruining them. It should've been culturally acceptable for them to euthanize this proto-human and have a normal child, and be happy, productive, and raise a quality human.

>> it would have been better to grant her a merciful quick dead and have another child instead
Replace ''her'' with user and it would be the same.

>You don't kill them for being mentally handicapped, you kill them for not having worth. They are a cost, and an opportunity cost. Supporting their useless existence means other, worthy people, are getting less than they need or aren't being born.
No. Human beings are not currency, to be easily disposed of as easily you dispose of trash. Humanism and Human Rights are the core of Western values.
>I know a family with a retarded child, the mother had to quit her career to take care of it, the dad has to work double shifts, they are all miserable and tortured. Its like a tumor ruining them.

I have three mentally handicapped uncles. One thinks that the sun and moon are talking to him, while the second has extreme PTSD from the Iraq War, and the last was born that way, but I will never even for an atom of a second, think of killing them just because they are mentally handicapped.

>She could only utter one word clearly and confidently in her entire life: ‘Surrender’

>what is love
you're a sad, pathetic, excuse for a human being user.
no wonder you're alone, you deserve to be.

You must be a very small person if you can't look beyond your selfish needs and think of the community.

>See this thread has a decent amount of replies
>Go in thinking I'm going to hear some feels stories
>It's nothing but idiots giving (You)s to obvious bait

Cmon

>it's small and selfish not to want to murder innocent people

It's small and selfish to care more about your feelings than the long term collective good.

unironicly kill yourself, the love you invest in yourself clearly isn't returned either.

there are plenty examples out there of disabled people living full lives and some even lives of succes in classical and medival ages.
Best example of this is Ivar the boneless.

>Princess Maria was the only child of King Carol I and his wife, Elisabeth of Wied. She was born in 1870 and baptised a Romanian orthodox and her family nicknamed her ''Itty''.
>Everyone who knew Maria described her as a beautiful and precocious young child, as she was said to look at maps and identify different countries for fun at the age of only two and a half.
>On 5 April 1874, the Princess became ill with scarlet fever. An epidemic had been ravaging the capital at the time. She was immediately transported to the Peleş Castle. Despite being treated with much care by a doctor named Theodori and many others, the young princess expired on 9 April 1874 and was buried at the monastery of Cotroceni.
>Her parents were devastated by her death. On 5 May that year, Carol wrote to Charles Anthony, Prince of Hohenzollern that they intended to move to the Cotroceni Palace, in order to be closer to the resting place of their infant daughter:
> It is said that sometime before she died, Princess Maria told her mother that she would someday like to be able to ride a star.

and you have no argument other than 'MUH EDGE'

>kill all war veterans as PTSD is a mental instability it's for the greater good of society
Holy fuck dude you are like coldsteel the hedgeheg

Nah i know bait when i see one, that cunt actually means the shit that he says.

"Empress Zhang was described as a "foolish and demanding woman, capable of no more than petty faults", but those included a constant desire for expensive objects, credulity about the teachings of the most specious Buddhist and Taoïst clerics, and limitless favour for her family, especially her two unrestaindly venel brothers. This pair, Zhang Heling (張鶴齡) and Zhang Yanling (張延齡), with the support of their sister the Empress and her mother, Lady Gin, made careers of misusing their high position."

Hmmm

All you hard asses screen cap the OP, then when you've had a kid or two of your own go back and read it (that means in like, 15 years). If this site still exists come back and tell us how you react. We'll still be here, duh... Fuck you OP. Crying like a little bitch here. You win.

Meanwhile in Germany...

youre just mad that someone whos autistic gets love and yet no one loves you

Didn't seem to affect Hongzhi's rule considering his reign is known as the "Ming Silver Age."

In addition you missed out the part that the Empress' antics made her a great patron of the arts.

If he had other children, I wonder with how much resentment they grew up with. Being upstaged by a literal retard, specially back then, must have hurt them badly and made them deeply envious and jealous of their father affection for her but not them.

I'm sorry your parents never loved you as much as se Gaulle loved his.

>Franz Ferdinand showed very little warmth to anyone but his wife and three children. In a letter, published in “Archduke of Sarajevo,” to his stepmother, Archduchess Maria Theresa, after the birth of his second son in 1904, Franz Ferdinand writes:

By far the cleverest thing I ever did in my life was to marry my Sophie. She is everything for me: my wife, my doctor, my advisor — in a word my whole happiness. …And then our children! They are my whole pride and joy. I sit with them all day long in amazement that I can love them so much. And then the evenings at home when I smoke my cigar and read my papers. Sophie knits and the children tumble about, knocking everything off the tables. It’s all so cozy and precious…

>In fact, when Sophie was shot alongside Franz Ferdinand in 1914, these were his last words to her, as published in “Archduke of Sarajevo”: “Sopherl, Sopherl, don’t die. Stay alive for the children!”

I like Gavrilo's answer.
>yeah, sorry about that, i was aiming for potiorek

Kid, don't you have homework to do? because the internet is not for you, you fucking stupid dumb kid

Why are some people in this thread hating de Gaulle?

It's just Anglos being Anglos. Don't worry yourself user.

That retarded fucker gave up Algeria, I am not even anglo.

It's burgers trying to seem cool or French people falseflagging

>That retarded fucker gave up Algeria, I am not even anglo.
You are completely and utterly delusional if you think the Algerian war could've been won under any shape or form. The Algerians were simply never going to stop fighting because they knew the french state didn't care about their Rights.

This always gets me.

There are plenty of examples of children being considered unfit to live and being left to die.

Veterans are part of the covenant that a society has with its warriors, if they aren't treated good then there'd be no volunteers. If you want a big army, veterans have to be given special privileges to justify them risking life, and I am for that.

Also having mild PTSD doesn't make you unfit to hold a job or exist in society in the same way that severe mental retardation does. It doesn't ruin the life of your friends and family, and doesn't force society to pay for expensive care and drugs for you for decades, while you never produce or have any chance of producing worth.

French socialists hate him for what should be obvious reasons. Americans hate him because de Gaulle refused to accept the limitations of NATO and thus threw a shitfit and left. Brits hate him for obvious reasons. There are plenty of reasons to dislike de Gaulle

He nationalized a lot of shit, have progressive tax, had welfare state, and so on. He was a socialist.
Him declining american attempts to effectively colonize Europe, and saving Europe from being occupied "for its own good" by the americans, probably prevented WW3.

>He was a socialist
Yeah. I forgot the part where he was so socialist that the socialist parties in France fucking hated his guts and tried to block the Fifth Republic. I also forgot the part where socialists revolted so hard in 1968 that a civil war almost broke out.

>Him declining american attempts to effectively colonize Europe, and saving Europe from being occupied "for its own good" by the americans, probably prevented WW3
You forgot the part where the only areas the Capitalist Bloc bordered the COMBLOC were occupied by American troops regardless of any actions taken by de Gaulle. All de Gaulle did was weaken NATO and blame Americans for his own losses abroad because of his refusal to accept the stated limitations of NATO.

is this supposed to be sad cause she's a tard? i cracked up in the end wat a story

You've always shown yourself to be a Jew.

>ebin vikangz meme

>Best example of this is Ivar the boneless.

Thats not what boneless means. The same text that calls him boneless writes how he charged into combat.

...

I haven't read the sagas personally so if you have feel free to correct me, but I was of the impression that they refer to physical disabilities of some sort.

not that guy btw

Historians think it must be either lack of character (no spine, in modern speech), or lack of erection (kinda shitty thing to call your warlord), or because he was very agile and moved very fast and flexibly in battle.
We know its not a crippling disability, because he marched an army around and fought a lot of battles.

Also, we know from the sagas that his "boneless" thing was a result of magic from his mom, and its said to be a curse. This makes it less likely to be agility, and more likely to be lack of character or erections.

Another more recent translation is "Ivar the Hated", which is exos, in latin ex os, without bones.

>Pointing out the appalling general disregard the Nazis had for human life is Jewish

Nazis are literally niggers who LARP about "muh blond hair and blue eyes, we wuz egyptians/roman/every other civilization and sheeeeeeeeiiiiitttttt". Thoroughly unworthy of the title of white men.

you are either 14 or amazingly sad

what the fuck is wrong with you dude? 2edgy4me

>Original and creative thread

not him but the algerian rebellion had been ruthlessly crushed by the time they pulled out. not saying it wasnt still a costly and morally repugnant war though

>go on tour

The popular notion of "lions led by donkeys" on the soldiers and leaders of WWI and European nobility in-general was very much skewed.

Erich Ludendorff, the counterpart to Hindenburg in the German army during WWI, was worked so hard that he had a mental breakdown and refused to release his stepson's body, after he was killed in the Michael Offensive, towards the end of the war. Having had only three days off in four years, he began "convulsing and foaming at the mouth", when he learned of the British and French forces punching through the Hindenburg line, shortly before the end of the war.

This edgelord is mentally ill but he's kinda right about his opening point.
Children with severe developmental problems shouldn't be born, and I could argue even euthanasia would be okay in some cases.
It can be extremely hard for both the parents and child.

putting human efforts into retards is better spent than putting human efforts into negroes

let the famines in Africa continue and let the mentally ill live

Whole life of Mary Queen of Scots
