Was Led Zeppelin the Best Band of the 70's?
Okay, having said that, if you had asked which rock band was the most prominent and popular during the 1970s, and is highly ranked based on album sales, concert ticket purchases, critical consensus, and overall musicianship, then Led Zeppelin would be close to the top, if not at the top, of my list

Why was France so easily conquered at the beginning of WWII?
First , France was fractured by political infighting which did not help it in preparing for war. Second its leadership seemed unable to understand that this war would not be fought like WWI. Third, the French were convinced the Germans would attack through the Low Countries believing the Ardennes was impassable by tanks. The Germans were well led and trained and had a better Air Force trained particularly well in the ground support role. I would also add that giving the initiative to the enemy is always risky. If France had been better prepared in 1939 it could have attacked Germany in force in the west during its invasion of Poland. That might have even caused Stalin to hesitate in attacking Poland in the east. It was not until he was certain the Germans would succeed that he ordered the Red Army to invade Poland

Why do some people feel the need to talk trash about people who they barely know?
When you are young and insecure, you might not know what to say to be accepted.However, gossip is a well-known means of bonding; negative, but popular.By attacking somebody who is outside the group, the insecure individual can transfer their insecurities and their feelings of being judged and rejected. They are in fact acting out their unspoken fears of being judged by the group, becoming the very thing which they fear; an unreasonable judge. They do this in hopes of artificially inflating their status inside the group, so as to increase likelihood of acceptance and suppress their insecurity and social anxiety. The rationale isa) If I make this person look bad, I wont look as bad to these people and they might like meb) The groups reaction The enemy of my enemy is my friend. (Here enemy refers to an outsider to the group)Confident people dont randomly trash others for the hell of it

Which are collectively better musicians, Led Zeppelin or Rush?
The guys is Rush are better players in a technical sense; John Paul Jones was the only guy in Zep who was a "technically proficient" musician. Neil Peart is considered one of the most technically accomplished drummers, ever. John Bonham is thought to have had amazing feel; he may not have been the most technically accomplished drummer, but the grooves he could lay down, and his instincts as a player, were absolutely amazing. To my way of thinking, as a musician, Bonham is miles above Peart. The same comparison can be made between Alex Lifeson and Jimmy Page. Page couldn't get through a solo without flubbing several notes, whereas Lifeson was cleaner and more technically sound. But, Page's playing sounds and feels SO MUCH better than Lifeson's. Page is raging, bleeding emotion, and I think of him as the better of the two.Full disclosure: I own records by both bands, but in my opinion Led Zeppelin DESTROYS Rush.

How is Genghis Khan viewed in China?
The Mongol military genius. He facilitated the foundation of the Mongolian-dominated Yuan dynasty (disputable from a western standpoint ) Since the Yuan dynasty inherited the imperial examination system (erected in Tang dynasty to select men with visions to be government officials) , remained the tradition of confucius worshippingbut did not admit the throne position of Confucianism in imperial education?., and utilized chineses character when issuing imperial edicts, we did not hold the view that the Mongolian invaded us(merely a replacement of the old dynasty ). More important we do not attach much importance to the nationality of an emperor ( at least at the time ). " Assimilating barbarians whoever invade us " , a perspective by some Hans, perfectly depicted this picture. Hence, he a hero, a great military commander in history having accelerated the geographical expanding of Yuan dynasty

Why don't film critics make movies if they have so much knowledge?
Idk about this so much knowledge but some did, like in the past was truffaut, goddard, or contemporary like park chan wookIf we talk the majority of them, many film critic just like us moviegoers, But, with more passion toward movie as medium, likely more knowledgable and have more insight whether about moviemaking (could be more theoritical rather than practical), movie bussiness and literate about art form in general.We shouldn't seen them as skilled as filmaker, but more as representative of us, moviegoers. We seek recomendation, obtain some of their useful perspective/knowledge to more understand and increase the statement of the movie itself, whether by agreeing or even disagreeing with them.
The problem, there time the critics made audience lose, harshly to filmakers, led ppl think "why don't this person prove with his own instead". well actually it doesnt matter, cause in the end, matter of subjectivity, it was ourselves that give the perception

Is the Indian economy in doldrums after demonetization?
The banks whether private or national are the ones who do not pass the currency to small banking customers. My experience is till today if I have asked for Rs50-100 or ten / twenty ruprees from tellers say for even Rs500/, I have not received it. No bank manager helps you out, but when cash comes to the bank its in big trunks. Nexus between the bank employees and buisnessmen gain, no surprise checks are conducted by the banks themselves, to find out who gains. I am 72, in my career for 37 years, and now pensioner, I have not got it in delhi. What about small people in small towns or villages? Same with bank loans, rich get it or those who bribe bank managers. Modi or anybody on this planet cannot wipe out corruption, demonetization or no demonetization

Was the great depression a turning point in US history and/or economic policy?
The Depression, or rather FDR's response to it (the New Deal), resulted in a much larger Federal bureaucracy and a much increased role for the Federal government in the lives of individual American citizens. (If there had been no New Deal, to take one enormous example, there would be no Social Security today. Take a look at my answer hereSince the United States is over 238 years old, how did the government function, as well as survive, not taxing the public for over 100 years? How did they pay the bills? for more details.
)And then came World War II, which ended any possibility of the US going back to isolationism. Not only was it obvious that it had been necessary for us to join the fight against fascism, but once that was defeated, the Cold War began immediately, and for nearly 50 years our entire foreign policy was predicated on the necessity of "containing" Communism

What if the entire Middle East including Turkey and Egypt went to war with NATO (no nukes)?
The massive disruption of international trade resulting would devastate the international economy and lead to riot and famine in cities across the Middle East.Europeans would be utterly baffled at first, right-wing bigotry would be energized, and Muslims would be killed by nativist rioters in a dozen countries.NATO air power would shut down any military threat from the Middle Eastern coalition in a few days. NATO mechanized forces would seal off Turkey's European border.There would be little or no ground fighting, as the Middle Eastern coalition lacks the means to attack Europe, Canada, or the United States in the face of NATO's overwhelming air power.The fighting would end in a few days and the chief activity would be negotiating for the safe return of NATO forces and Western civilians trapped or besieged in Middle Eastern countries.
What was the point of this hypothetical war, anyway? It seems a destructive waste of time

How could Darth Maul kill Qui-Gon but yet be defeated by Obi-Wan?
By the same token you could ask how a hobbit beat a demigod or how a boy beat the most powerful wizard everbecause in tradtional mythic fantasy the good guys win even if their power level says the shouldn't. Make no mistake desptie its space trappings Star Wars is mythic fantasy. If we were to base everything on power level alone then the Empire would always win, then we have no Star Warsthe end. While the climatic scene was poorly filmed for the last few seconds before Mauls death it is possible for a person to beat an opponent of much greater skill in real life. That said applying real life to a fantasy like Star Wars is the acme of foolishness IMO. So the simple answer again applies. In Star Wars the good guys win in the end-period, so the script reflects that even if some don't like it.

What is Putin's strategy? Why is he operating so overtly and catching flak from all the western countries? It's as if he's intentionally trying to get more sanctions put on Russia.
Putin certainly laments the loss of power and prestige which came following the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and his foreign policy is geared towards increasing Russian influence in the world. This plays out very nicely with his domestic/ regional audience who have been conditioned to respect the strongman leader. Russia's economic power does not match this posturing however, and they are not the superpower they once were, but through control of the media they are able to spin such events as the recent poisoning to foster anti-west sentiment in their country, and thus bolster their support and prestige domestically. The danger for the West is in escalating the conflict and precipating a new cold war with all the threat of mutually assured destruction back on the table again. Never underestimate the possibility that one man may seek the annihilation of humanity. It's hard to understand but there are examples of such people.

What do real Navy SEALs think of the TV show SEAL Team?
I'm not kidding here, because I cannot watch any war movie or anything involving combat and not see every mistake and calling bullshit. That show is honestly far more accurate than anything I've seen involving the Teams. True story, I wanted to bash it, then I watch and I'm like wow they really did their homework and diligently. Like, you can only go so far without risking TTPs and SOPs which most people have no clue about anyway. But for me, it's the little things, like how they're breaking down their weapon and hitting a corner, or seeing actors stack up correctly and actually fluidly move through targets, I was impressed. It doesn't hurt they have Tyler Grey acting and as a producer on the show, who's a CAG guy, and probably one of the best gunfighters around and all around great guy. Very impressed.
