Title: Don\'t believe everything school teaches you
Post by: Titan on August 09, 2004, 06:35:21 PM
I found this quite humorous. A school is charged with lying to its immigrant students about American history and stuff like that.

I couldn\'t believe this one: "World War II began in 1938 and ended in 1942."

I really can\'t see how anyone believed that one, no matter what country or region you are from, you most likely learned atleast the dates of WWII.

I thought it happend in the 1700\'s, around the same time that Joe Lewis beat Seabiscuit for the heavy weight title.  It went 38 rounds bare knuckled.

I don\'t blame the immigrants for believing there are 53 states or that the house and senate are different parties. How would they know unless they picked up a real text book? That would be like me going to Mexico and having to know who their first president was and crap like that. The WWII thing I would have thought they would have picked up.

Yeah, I believe the word "spammer" just by itself could be considered spam. So basically you\'re spamming to show that another member is spamming. And that\'s just damn spamtastic!!...
