Vagina

Ok, let me just nicely ask you.

What the actual fuck. 

Facebook wants my fucking ID. What’s next? My naked photo in order to chceck if I really look like on my photos and not use Photoshop?

Because I just can’t imagine greater violation of my privacy rights in the Internet.

I don’t know how it looks like in other countries but in Poland data from one’s ID can be easily used to take a loan. Or two. Or as many as you wish. Not nice if you are  the one who has to pay it off later.

Fuck it, I don’t need facebook THAT much.

The Assasin’s Creed series takes place during real periods of history, but not many people know that the Assassins and Templars were historical organisations too. And the Assasins weren’t excatly “the good guys”. Or, to be more precise, their masters weren’t good, cause the Assassins alone were just puppets in their hands.

The Assasins were a branch of the Ismaili sect of Shia Islam. The founder of the Assasins was a Nizari Ismaili missionary called Hasan-i-Sabbah, known also as the Old Man of the Mountain. He had established a secret order, built in a hierarchical form. He called himself the Grandmaster of the Order, and he was on the top of hierachical ladder. Below him there were “Greater propagandists”, known as dai, and regular “Propagandists”, the Rafiqs (“companions”) and the Lasiqs (“Adherents”).

It isn’t known for certain where the name “assasin” derives from. Most well-known and commonly repeated theory says that it has its origins in Arabic name hashishi, meaning “hashish users”. This isn’t excatly true. Assassins did not smoke hashish, because they belived it to be harmful for mind and body. Good Assassin had to stay focused and clear-minded to be more effective. A more convincing theory cites the Egyptian Arabic word hashasheen, meaning “noisy people”, “outcasts” or “troublemakers”.

However, according to Marco Polo observations, hashish was sometimes used by the Old Man of the Mountain to make his fidai’s loyal. Polo describes how Sabbah would drug his young followers, lead them to a paradise-like garden filled with attracitve young maidens and beautiful plands in which these fidai’s would wake up. Here they were told that they were witnessing their place in Paradise and if they wish to return, they must serve the Nizari. Believng that their master was some kind of prophet, his disciples were fully committed to his cause. A well-known legend says about the visit of Count Henry of Champagne to theGrand Master. The count claimed to have the most powerful army that could defeat the Hashashin. The Master claimed that his people were more powerful, and to prove it he ordered one of his men to jump off from the castle. The man did. 

Assasins killed those who were threat do their cause but rarely attacked citizens. Killing innocents would bring a bad reputation to the Nizari name. They favored a single, clean assasination than the wide bloodshed of a fight. They wre usually performing in the broad daylight, and that caused in earning a great respect of people to them.  Hashashin was also made to take part in the Islamic warrior code, where they were trained in combat, tactics, disguises and linguistics. 

 Oh, and the fortress in Masyaf really existed, too.

Okay, by just looking at the artwork I deduce that all Holmes and Watson are doing 24/7 is basically sitting around in chairs while judging everything (unless they get up to judge more ppl).
