Bush did it! 9-11

Umm, that site is a source. When you type up a history report, you use sources. Can you prove whats in your paper? According to you no. You rely on sources and Giga\'s source is credible.

Nope, I can\'t prove whats on my paper. But, thats not the point of the history report. A history report is just to inform of what "happened" and the "facts". I know what a source is, yes that\'s a source. But, why is it so credible? What makes it a fact? Is it because a bunch of people that call themselves "historians" said it is?

According to you we would all have to see an historic moment in history to believe it happened.

You need to read and listen to many different sources to decide what is true and what is not true.

So the Civil War wasn\'t real because I can\'t "prove" it happened.

I get you Ace. If all the people where the "see to believe type" then we wouln\'t have any idea where we came from, why we are here.

I love history, it\'s one of my favorite classes. I like reading about things that once were. But, nobody can really know for a fact. Thousands of years from now, people might look back at the things that are going on now and completely change the story. "Yeah, the U.S. sent some guy named Bush to destroy Afghanistan\'s buildings" Yeah, that\'s why we leave records. But, how do we know what records might be discoreved?

No, that\'s different. The Civil War was a big thing, there is proof that it happened, not just a bunch of letters that some guy we know nothing about left behind. Im talking about specific things, like, who shot first at the battle of Gettysburg?.

I always liked history in school as well. One thing I would be weary about is using your school history book as absolute fact. One could argue that most school history books are somewhat skewed. If you like history buy some books or hit the library.

My history books suck. There is such debate between different texts.

[SirMystiq]

Im with you Ace. Sometimes, I would be reading out of my history books, and find out that they leave some of the most important facts. Then I get in the Net, and find out so many things that are so interesting that they just completely left out. I guess that\'s why they\'re the cheapest books the schools can afford.

About hitting the library, I got WW1, WW2, and the Civil War DVD collection. :nerd: I haven\'t watched them in a long time though. Who needs books when you got DVD players?! :eyemouth:

I remember I read that in my history book.

Giga....GTH. I\'m so sick of you always replying with comments like that. "Shut up", "come up with facts". You don\'t know that for a fact, Where you there? Did someone travel back in time to prove it? NO. You have no idea what happened back then, nobody does, all we got is records and documents that tell us that. How do we know if those documents are true? Besides, aren\'t the Spanish the original Americans, the one\'s that conquered this land?.

After reading the rest of your crap posts on this topic... I can say without a doubt you are definitely one of the more unintelligent members.  Stick to the made up girlfriend posts and leave the intelligent debates to the rest of us who are able to form opinions and back them them up.

Oh and as for your Spanish comment, I will just chalk it up to you being pissed off because I pointed out they killed more Native Americans than any other group... "Spanish the original Americans"

Case in point.  You would rather watch a DVD than read a book.  Got news for your Mr. Bling Bling... books are ten times more informative than any DVD can be. :rolleyes:

In case you haven\'t heard, the US was attacked... not the other way around.  As for Bush\'s IQ... in reality it is probably much higher than yours or any of ours.  If you are going to post such rabid opinions you might want to back them up with some facts.

funny...It wasnt Iraq or N. Korea that attacked us, yet he wants to fight them both.

Also odd in how we went to war with afghanistan, yet they didnt attack us.

Also, before you waste time typing. I am well aware of the fact that the individuals behind our attacks were in "ca\'hoots" with their government deeper than our oceans, but the fact remains.

It is my opinion that Bush only wants a war with ANYONE just so he can secure a re-election since his previous victory was slim AND tainted. No better way to win an election than a war.

Thats cool Green, you are entitled to your opinion and I respect that.  What pisses me off are when people try and pass their opinion off as fact.  One argument on another forum that I was recently involved in, a woman kept insisting that voters were kept away from the polls in Florida during the 2000 election.  I asked her to name a source and the best she could come up with was her mothers, brother in-laws uncle told her...  :rolleyes:

It was widely acknowledged in florida during that election as well during some recent elections including the governor seat.

There is some foul shit going on down here and each side is ready to point fingers, but no one wants to fix it. They just want to fight with each other.

No better way to win an election than a war.

Tell his dad that!

Also odd in how we went to war with afghanistan, yet they didnt attack us.

And where did the Taliban reside?
