@AlyssaBaylon10 Yes, greed seemed to rule his life. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Whitney Stidham @StidhamWhitney]

@mattgunn7423 I agree. I think it is something capitalists should strive for. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Whitney Stidham @StidhamWhitney]

@AndrewDouglasW2 A great and scary question! #AuburnWorldHistory

[Whitney Stidham @StidhamWhitney]

@ZachStrong20 It is an interesting statement. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Whitney Stidham @StidhamWhitney]

“A civilization that proves incapable of solving the problems it creates is a decadent civilization” - there is no perfect civilization that can fix all its problems so by this definition, all civilizations are decadent. #AuburnWorldHistory

@IanDavishistory Yes I agree, a native could have probably done it much better. #AuburnWorldHistory

Pakistan is mostly muslim, while India is mostly Hindu. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Whitney Stidham @StidhamWhitney]

Both Pakistan and India have ornate border shows. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Whitney Stidham @StidhamWhitney]

A British lawyer drew the partition line that separates India from Pakistan. #AuburnWorldHistory

@bursa_ii I have always heard this issue mentioned but it was interesting to read a little about the long story in Palestine. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Whitney Stidham @StidhamWhitney]

Most Palestinians fled in fear for their safety. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Whitney Stidham @StidhamWhitney]

Many left Palestine to flee violence. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Whitney Stidham @StidhamWhitney]

It was sad to read about the many people displaced in Palestine. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Whitney Stidham @StidhamWhitney]

@TOaubhistory I believe they were looking for someone to blame for their economic ruin, and the Jews were fairly prosperous so people hated what they did not have. I would be interested to learn more about the why about this as well though. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Whitney Stidham @StidhamWhitney]

Arabs, Jews, and Christians lived in relative peace under the Ottoman empire at one point. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Whitney Stidham @StidhamWhitney]

Zionism was created to find the Jewish people a homeland. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Whitney Stidham @StidhamWhitney]

I have often heard issues in Palestine brought up in politics but was unsure until now what the discussion was about #AuburnWorldHistory

[Whitney Stidham @StidhamWhitney]

@auworldhistory I agree, and even in political aspects I think it has changed in its meaning from original usage. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Whitney Stidham @StidhamWhitney]

If my understanding is correct, then in an ironic twist, conservatives are strong proponents of a "liberal" idea. Conservatism and traditional liberalism may not be as polar opposite as they seem. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Whitney Stidham @StidhamWhitney]

"If all nations, Smith says, were to follow “the liberal system of free exportation and free importation,” then they would be like one great cosmopolitan empire, and famines would be prevented." #AuburnWorldHistory

If I am understanding the above quote correctly, this roughly correlates to the idea of cutting taxes, to bring in more businesses, thus creating more jobs and a booming economy. #AuburnWorldHistory
