I'm a socialist (of the council-communist current promoted by the likes of Anton Luxemburg, Pannekoek and other Dutch German leftists, NOT state-socialism) with an avid interest in history and economics. I am currently studying computer science at the University of Central Florida and hope to graduate with my Bachelors degree by the end of the year.

comment How high was the morale of non-Soviet Warsaw Pact states' armies and governments in the '80s?
@SamuelRussell I think the question has been properly edited to reflect the user's intended desire while conforming to our guidelines. I removed the portion regarding whether Soviet military officials were considering a "first strike" on NATO on the grounds that it is, in my opinion, a largely independent question.

comment Has 'the loss of Europe's Christian memory' begun and if so when?
@Carlo_R The standard way of having such conversations is to go to the associated "meta"-site (in this case, meta.history.stackexchange.com). From there, start a thread there with a link to the question in question (pun.lol!), and the subject of contention addressed to the <site>.stackexchange.com citizenry. For example, you probably want to start a thread with a subject such as "Is this Post on Christian Memory a Suitable Topic for history.stackexchange", note my argument for it being moved to philosophy.stackexchange.com, and link to this question.

comment Has 'the loss of Europe's Christian memory' begun and if so when?
@Carlo_R This appears to be a philosophical question, and is likely more appropriate on philosophy.stackexchange.com.

comment Did the pope try to suppress the number zero?
Welcome to the site James! The wikipedia article you cite is actually sourced from "Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea", by Charles Seife. This link (yaleglobal.yale.edu/about/zero.jsp) confirms your point that Fibonacci introduced zero to Europe around 1202. Good work!
