I guess I wouldn't have minded the U.S. history so much if it hadn't been for all the repetition and time wasting.

The spend quite a few years teaching you the wrong version. Where Columbus discovered America, the Colonists were rebelling against unfair opression, and the Civil War was fought over slavery. They never get into more modern history.

Then they come back and finally start teaching you what actually happened, but then when it comes around to the 50's they have to start glossing over everything because the school year is nearly over. Since we start over from the colonies every time they teach American History, what's the point of taking it all those other years? The last time was the only one that was any good.

Wait you mean the liberal version of history where being white means that you're the enemy of the world? Or the actual version of history in which there were alot of events that happened at once and where some of the them were neither connected nor related yet they seemed to be because they happened in a particular order and in which there are many factors that lead up an event but one or two of them are what broke the straw on the proverbial camel's back?

The thing about history is that it's not about truth, it's about perception and changing it.

Originally TR first. I've only seen a few Red Dwarf episodes and those were during the past year or so. Now they are showing the Tomb Raider on TV today and I just realised that

That's what I figured.

Hey Knightfall, long time no see. Did you notice that I posted up the Cleric class for the Tale?

Yeah, I noticed. I haven't taken a look at it yet. I'll let you know what I think about it later. I'm a little distracted right now.

Well, really, being British, I should have more of an idea of the history of the Empire. But then I never went to school in England, just America. And yes, our history courses are very, very, very one-sided. And boring. And repetitive. And repetitive.

In twelve years of schooling, I had exactly 1/2 of a year of world history. *sigh*

I know we conquered a lot of beastly ol' foreign types. I just didn't know about that particular section.

Well, we had a lot of lessons regarding the 3rd Reich. It was interesting, but at some point also repetitive. I wasn't much interested in Roman History, either, though. Now, younger German history, especially the split of Germany and the reuninion of Germany, that were interesting aspects. As well as the political maneuvering of a Bismarck before the 1st World War (not to speak of the reasons for the 1st WW), and the formation of the EU, those were all interesting topics. Of course, mostly because they were "fresh" to me then.

Watching "Ghandi" was also very interesting, though I think more for the philosophy behind it then the historical aspects. (Which might be due to the movie itself.)

Did you know that Britain and Finland were at war against eachother too? Neither's troops never met on battlefield, but Britain did declare a war against Finland in 1941.

Wasn't Britain already at war in 41? I think it was the French or something.

Aeson, how's it going?
