my favorite teacher in high school was the history one.

and speaking of history i must say that, as much as i love history, i hardly watch the history channel, they distort things, every time i see something (that isn't about war, which seems to be the only topic they touch now a days) it's always a little skewed and has omitions and it irks me, plus most of their footage sucks. very disappointing.

i've had the weirdest/coolest history teachers. i had the same guy for two years and he was either really cool or really tough. had a neat way of teaching.

i just watch the history channel for religious specials. i can't stand the bias either but often the subject matter and how i'm interested will override it.

american history is boring to me, though. i'm partial to ancient rome and england.

my high school history teacher made this rule that whenever someone talked unless he told us to, the whole class would slap his head (including him), and he had to put his left hand on his pocket the whole time, if he took it out, then we would slap him. it was awesome, he was so informative and so into talking about things and everything would turn into a jokes competition but we would hardly steer away from the subject.

I think American History is kind of amazing, especially when they arrived, all the way leading to the revolution, and the civil war. Also the industrial revolution, the poverty, the immigrants, god I love American History a lot. I think it is amazing, I would also like to learn the History of England.

we had so much fun when we got to the '80s and '90s in my class. it was just my teacher doing his sparkling commentary. he'd stop talking then go "heh, monica lewinsky" or something weird.

victor- i really love the 1920s.

[SynthethicalY]

Yeah, that was a good decade, I also like the fifties as well, god all the events that led to the sixties.

[schizophrenicroom]

i really enjoyed the fifties and the jet set movement. we got a lot into feminism during the sixties and seventies. my teacher's rant about the ERA was hilarious.

[Everyneurotic]

what i've learnt from history is that every time, ever where something happens and there are reasons why they happen.

[SynthethicalY]

Oh yes, I think the early sixties protester had it right, I don't like the hippies who chose to drop out and tune out. That is why the seventies went to the conservatives, also the eighties.

[schizophrenicroom]

the seventies were a joke, imo.

[Everyneurotic]

you are way caught up in your own conversation. i'm steering clear.

goodnight.

[SynthethicalY]

Goodnight everyneurotic.

But the politics of the seventies reflects so much of what kind of politics we have today.

[schizophrenicroom]

exactly. but getting into politics makes me sick.

how was your day?

[SynthethicalY]

I like politics, I used to follow it incessantly, but stopped. My day was okay, work was hectic. And can't wait for tomorrow, I get paid.

[schizophrenicroom]

i tried to. instead i just read ohnotheydidnt and follow lindsay lohan's adventures in rehab. it's infinitely more entertaining.

my mom's planning to take us for breakfast but i doubt i'll be up.
