The Middle Ages Was the Best We Ever Had

[Minimalist]

Got it.

Genghis Khan was a bit of a dick.

My ancestors from the father's side served his descendants in the raids that he conducted deep into Europe, and Russia.
My grandfather told me that our family joined the Tatars of Crimea after we left where previously the Khanate of Kazan stood.
As such, I revere him, and hold him dear.

You ancesters had an excuse. What is yours?

It's not an excuse, it's a reason. Excuses are things that you make when you did something wrong.
I do nothing wrong by professing my ongoing reverence and fondness of Genghis Khan, and his descendants of the Ulus of Jochi and Chagatai.

Mainly for killing Turks, wasn't it?

It does not really matter if we die. At the end, he too, received the punishment he deserved.

I think I now see your problem with my anarchism... You have the need to have an authority above you.
I think you would find yourself helpless and without hope in a situation where you lead your own life without letting others tell you what to do.

If I did, as you have claimed about me, I would have voted for the leading party of Turkey. I did not, and I oppose their actions, and I condemn them at every turn.
I only recognize and support the authority that suits the ideals that I think are best for my people. And that authority will work for the best interests of my people alone, and not like the government that works for the best interests of others, while taking a dump on what I hold dear to me.

Back to the OP, no, I cannot consider a time where bathing was said to be immoral because one took pleasure in it, to be brilliant.

That is what would be described as "fuckin' mental".

I personally do not believe in democracy. Although our founding forefathers thought it might sound like a nice idea and all, people generally vote for people who generally throw a few pieces of bones in front of them, and eat the juicy meat and fat all by themselves.
There is a saying in Turkish "If you love, you'll get fucked, and if you fuck, you'll be loved" like it sounds weird in english, but it's very meaningful and all..

I think that democracy is a way for the people to vote, just to get their selfish wishes fulfilled by the party they vote for, if it get's elected, of course, doesn't matter if it provides good governance or not.
The multi-party system just kills everything. It is the bane of every man that votes, because unless there is a coalition, someone get's left out anyways, with no way of real representation besides MP's(good for nothing).

Vlad the Impaler died in battle. Probably quickly given the weapons of the time.

There is no further "punishment" unless you believe in stupid fairy tales.

Vampirism, you mean?
Well, I don't know. He was already bloodthirsty as he was still not-undead, I mean, drinking the blood that dripped from the soon to be dead impalees.
