That's what Taliban is all about. - "I HATE CHANGES!"
I don't think that any group's changed Afghanistan more than the Taliban.
brutally suppressed protestors in the Gordon Riots
Well considering that the Gordon Riotors were going around burning Catholic churches and protesting the most basic forms of political equally, stopping the Gordon Riots is hardly being against liberty, although the means used were a bit, um, unpleasant...
I've always loved the "Honourable Members" one. Keep up the great work .
“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)
Hm. In Yahya al-Antaki's chronicle I recently got to the story of seemingly the last hamdanid prince of Aleppo. He sacked all his previous servants and made a new slave guard of his own, but it was more like a male harem for him, they had to submit to his lust. Unfortunatelly for him once, as he was with some boy "next to his legs", an indian slave boy sneaked to his room and killed him. I guess he was straight.

Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth
Jon Miller: MikeH is a shockingly revolting dolt and a masturbatory urine-reeking sideshow freak whose word is as valuable as an aging cow paddy. We've got both kinds
yes, thank you - that is a great thread, I last read it in 2006 .
btw where is the forum content gone from the early years, is that gone forever or can it be dug up somewhere?

Historical Filth- Hellraisers of the 18th Century
I'm going to beg your indulgence for this one. Normally "Filth" articles revolve around the dirty little secrets of the people who made history- kings, Popes and Generals. This one doesn't. In the grand sweep of history these characters...
Popular culture has painted a cruel and demeaning picture of the middle-east's history. The great empires of the Ottoman and Mughals tend to get depicted as decadent and hedonistic places and two distinct stereotypes tend to emerge.
The first is the Sultan. We all know what he's like, don't...
There have been some really foul jobs that have cropped up throughout history- notable examples being a nurse in plague-stricken London, or a Chinese Court Eunuch (as detailed in "Historical Filth- Eunuchs with balls"). To settle all disputes as to what was the worst job in history, the...
(I can't remember ever posting this here. It was the first "Filth" article I wrote, and I still think it's one of my best. Enjoy.)
It's the little things you've got watch out for. The famous example of Chaos Theory in action is how a butterfly beating it's wings starts a chain of eddies that...
Historical Filth- Five Weird Weddings
Recently I had a bit of a crisis about these articles I dish out. I started wondering whether it was seemly for a grown man to be sniffing around in the knicker-drawer of history, attempting to dress up blatant mucky smut in just enough historical detail...
The first "Historical Filth" article I ever wrote was called "The 10 worst Popes in history"- it even pre-dated the "Filth" title itself. It was a piece I was never really happy with, as I'd not yet settled on the more comfortable narrative style. It read as a shrill denunciation rather than an...
Historical Filth- Nutty Professors
Science has changed our world and transformed the way we live, but I can't help wondering what the course of scientific progress would have been like if scientists didn't tend to be so darned bizarre. There have been depictions of mad scientists many times...
(Over the past couple of years I've written several articles on the more "colourful" characters in history- the sort of stuff that doesn't tend to get taught in schools. I thought I'd see how it gets received in a specific history forum so.....here's one to try it out. Hope it entertains)...
A Filth guide to Clan war
The casual brutality in Scottish history beggars belief, and it's remarkable how much of it has become institutionalised, fetishised and even romanticised. People all over the world investigating their distant Scottish ancestors can access websites detailing their...
Oh, and I found this one which isn't a Filth at all but was a completely brilliant episode of handbags between Markos and me which killed the official Poly column stone dead. Happy days! - http://apolyton.net/showthread.php/6...ght=Professors
