haha  Seriously though my grandma had that  In regards to the whole September 11th thing (sorry I took this thread off topic), well I saw all the footage from television and saw the buildings fall and felt a little sad but more numb than anything. We had our own version of that over here recently and what was so sad it some people could have survived if they had checked all the buses too or not got onto the other trains. What makes it upsetting is when you look at their ages and what they had achieved with their lives. That could have been your dad, mum, brother, sister or friend.

I'm glad to be proved wrong! I was extremely concerned when I heard this. However, this may just be the fools that my cousin is friends with! I just needed to check that this wasn't a state spread problem... Appologies if I offended anyone. |

| Shyandquietguy | Columbus was a short, fucking asshole. That's what I learned in my high school history class. | |

| ItalianStereotype | but I've noticed that they often go a little overboard in teaching "what really happened" these days. | |

i had a buttload of history classes in highschool. this one was called europe since 1500 and i aced the fucking class but i failed because i missed too many days. yeah, so...no. you are wrong, miss slink. although i will admit that not until recently have they started teaching the true story of colonization of america. when i was little it was all pilgrims and indians and turkeys and hooray we love everyone. |

| Sethomas | Well, I had a World History class in 7th grade that was called Geography, and a geography class freshman year called World History. I also took two elective world history classes in high school, but I'm an oddball like that. | |

| ziggytrix | That's not entirely true Slinky. World History was a required subject for me in the 10th grade. The class itself was horrible, and taught straight from a textbook by a football coach, but we did have a world history class. | |

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I've heard that there exist people in America that did not know there was a second world war and others who didn't even know who won it!!!! It appears that in America, only American history is taught. Now considering this is only about 200 years or so how the hell do you manage to make that last for the entire duration of school?? When I was at school we learnt about the World Wars and winning lots of battles such as The Armarda (lots of boats and Spanish), Medival History (grow onions next to carrots to prevent diseases), Tudor (lots of people getting beheaded) etc. etc. I may have mentioned before that I went to a museum in St. Louis. It took us five minutes to tour it. I kept asking my mum where all the information was. Over here we have lots of broken pots and dead stuffed animals and towering dinosaurs... |

I mean the civil war was like over a hundred years ago but they keep making shows about it. Duh! Whatever dude, no one cares about that stuff. And how come we still care about Kennedy being shot that was all the way back in the 60's... I'm so sick of hearing about history... Learning, and remembering makes my head hurt... |

| Misanthrope | Okay. . .forgive me if this seems "unamerican" or whatever, but I'm just sick of hearing about it. I remember that day. They evacuated my school for crissakes. But that was FOUR YEARS AGO! Get over it, people. I'm sorry if you lost loved ones in during the attack, but this "I didn't lose anyone, but they were American, and Americans are supossed to stand together" shit is pissing me off. | |

| Chojin | yeah, instead we'd be watching re-runs for the rest of eternity in homage | |

What the hell is this "Ground Zero" shit? It's obvious that this thread is a John Ritter memorial.
