Otherwise there would have been no major differences. What religious icons you use as an excuse for your actions is really not particularly relevant.\n\nThe only way Christianity could have not reached Scandinavia is if it never became the state religion of Rome. Which would be because either Jeshua ben Yusep never lived or never got religion, or Saul of Tarsus didn't get religion, or at least got another religion, or was executed instead of sent to Rome or something.\n\nAnd who knows? Maybe Saul of Tarsus would have found another religion to completely turn upside down and spread around the Roman empire. It would likely have been pretty much exactly the same religion, as the one he DID spread, but with a different name, of course, as it would have contained no Christ. And then we would have that religion instead. \n\nOr no such religion would have been the Roman state religion, and then the multitude of religions that existed in the Roman empire would have continued for a while, but I would expect Europe to at some point be taken over by some proselytizing religion. If nothing else would have popped up to fill up Christianity's role I imagine that would have been Islam, as I don't see any reason why Muhammad wouldn't have done what he did just because Jesus wasn't well-known.\n\nAnd without Christianity in its way, Islam would likely have swept over Europe rather quickly, and the Norse would have become muslim instead.\n\nSo all in all: Same difference.", "I have never played it.

The law banned discrimination in the issuance of immigrant visas based on race, sex, nationality, place of birth, or place of residence, with several major exceptions. It established an annual cap of 170,000 visas for immigrants from the Eastern Hemisphere, with no country in the hemisphere allowed more than 20,000 visas. \n\n\nPlease, please do a little research on the policy first before crying its discriminating.

Its a notoriously complicated system but at the same time people think they are informed because of a few talking points.\n\nYou are arguing that a family member gaining permanent residency allows their distant family to come visit and that is enabling illegal immigration. That's just wrong.\n\nThey dont need family here to get a visa. Anyone can get a B2 visa for tourism. Them having family here will likely hurt their case because they are a greater risk of overstaying. Everyone is required to prove ties to home when applying for a B2 and those with family in the US will be subjected to greater scrutiny. They'd be better off not mentioning their family when applying but if asked and they lie they'll likely face a ban or permanent refusals.\n\nEdit: In my opinion the only think you can do about 'chain immigration' is removing siblings (brother/sister) from the list of immediate family. You could also remove adult children/parents but I think the long priority dates from certain countries take care of that anyway. Also, nobody cares about the diversity visa, it's a bizarre system that was invented to get more Irish people. Just honour this years recipients so we dont have more people that sold all their stuff (business/house) to move here only to find out now they cant (that happened last year with the muslim ban).\n\nYou can have merit based immigration if you want so long as it doesn't apply to spouses and children under 18.

They're not getting obliterated by a missile from a drone being controlled by someone in thousands of miles away in Texas. Lots of sort of war-games, stealing horses covertly, etc. Spirit quests, finding your spirit animal, consulting with your shaman before a hunt, becoming one with the animal you are hunting and being so grateful for its sacrifice as you kill it. Going through a brutal right of passage to manhood, which would surely be seen as barbaric, but firmly places you as part of the men of the tribe. Settling inter-tribe disputes with giant games of lacrosse. It just seems like such a better and more grounded way to live life. They certainly had a more interesting day-to-day life than the average american. \n\nI know, I'm looking at it through rose-colored glasses, and I know they experienced many hardships that today we aren't subjected to through modern medicine and technology, and I think their societies were very patriarchal in general, which is certainly a negative for the women in those societies, but I think the women generally were better off than say, women in America 100 years ago... but I don't think those benefits outweigh the positivity they had through their connection to nature. I'd rather wake up in a teepee, consult the shaman and receive his wisdom about my upcoming hunt, going into a sweat hut and covering my scent with burning brush with my fellow tribesmen, and then tracking and killing a deer to bring back to my tribe, where everyone sat in circles smoking from a piece pipe before gorging ourselves on the spoils of my hunt, and then dancing into the night with the woman I loved. That all sounds a lot better than rolling out of bed, checking my emails, starting work designing ads and filing tax forms, finishing the night cuddling with my lover and watching youtube videos while she does homework.
