Nescire autem quid ante quam natus sis acciderit, id est semper esse puerum. Quid enim est aetas hominis, nisi ea memoria rerum veterum cum superiorum aetate contexitur? -- Cicero, Marcus Tullius (106-43BC)

2m	comment	Were there armies that have equipped/fed its soldiers and officers equality? If so, which ones? @Drux: Either. You certainly can be prompted through the ranks. I think about 20% of the officers come from the ranks form what I read on the site. The rest joins the Légion from the normal army, generally after military school or as a promotion. It is a prestigious outfit and there are certainly more candidates than places there.

May 17	comment	Why the resurgence of Islamic powers in the middle east in the past three decades? -1 and close. There might be a good question there but it its current form, it is confusion, open to arguments, ill researched, and controversial to name just a few problems with it.

May 1	comment	Why were people from the Asian Steppes able to militarily dominate Europeans on a repeated basis? @MarkC.Wallace: Harsh is my middle name. ^_~ I'm aiming at giving Odysseus as much feed back as possible to what I consider would be a good edit to his answer. If he chooses to, he can edit his question to make it better for me to upvote. I'm assuming that Odysseus is a he solely based on the name.
May 1	comment	Why were people from the Asian Steppes able to militarily dominate Europeans on a repeated basis? -1 for now. Your answer is problematic. The first paragraph is a rant and therefore irrelevant. The second paragraph is wrong. Asia was a much more monetary lucrative target than Europe at the time and an over simplification of the crusades. Your finally paragraph has good points (references would be nice) but still digress. Note that fixing the answer to be more focused would earn you a +1.

Apr 27	comment	Did Hitler not intend a major war while invading Poland? I was being a little flippant in my comment. Hitler's actions, whatever they were, never prompted more than a stern word from the rest of the international community. It seems logical that Hitler would assume that invading Poland would not raise any much more objection especially since he was allied with the Soviets. But this is just speculation on my part thus the "joke" and comment instead of an answer ^_~
Apr 26	comment	Was Hitler's genocide of the Jews “different” from other mass killings? There was no deliberate in the alleged killing of Ukrainians, neither it was targeting any ethnic group.: The former statement is utterly false. Stalin used famine as a weapon. The latter is also false. Ukrainians are an ethnic group as per definition of ethnic.
Apr 26	comment	Was Hitler's genocide of the Jews “different” from other mass killings? -1 Stalin Starvation tactics and Mao's Cultural Revolution, Mongol extermination of peasants in china, the Khmer Rouge, etc... are great examples of genocide according to the definition of genocide: The deliberate killing of a large group of people, esp. those of a particular ethnic group or nation.
Apr 26	comment	Was Hitler's genocide of the Jews “different” from other mass killings? It is still a terrible question, even after the edit. I am not sure there is a good question in there at all.
Apr 26	comment	Did Hitler not intend a major war while invading Poland? Experience? Most of his invasions up to that point were met with nothing more than hot air form the rest of the world powers.

Apr 23	comment	What is the evidence for North Korean famine of 1990s? @NathanCooper: Yes, wikipedia is not an authoritative source but might contain such. Thus, it is as good as starting point as any. I do object to not showing that one has done a minimal amount of research first. Note that a first comment mentioned what are the positions of North Korea and China on the famines but a simple Google search yielded the answers.
Apr 23	comment	What is the evidence for North Korean famine of 1990s? @NathanCooper: Oh yes, there is that as well but since it asks (in its original form) for references there are plenty you can follow from a simple Google search. In my opinion, the question shows a basic lack of prior research. If the question were to be re-formulated as per Anixx's comment to look for on-line sources of the North Korea famine(s) in 1990s and the second paragraph removed, then it would be another matter.
