Alexander got on the bottle and that was the end of that story.

Next came the Romans, and guess what they created such a rotten society they they just packed up and left

And so it goes on

Europe will be Muslim in 40 years time, and Asia will be the economic power house on the world

and so it will go on

Good summary of History.

...if somewhat depressing. Especially the predictions for the future.



Back on the Nazi thing, at least those in control the the media won;t let us forget.

What's that ? The head of Australia's most powerful media empire didn;t know about the holocaust ? Yes that's right apparently someone was talking about the holocaust to Kerry packer and he had to ask what it was. How does someone with (presumably) a private school education and whose fatehr is a journalist NOT know about the holocaust ?

Can't balme "modern education" for that.

To his credit, once he found out about it he cpmmissioned a documentary on the subject to educate TV viewers.

Sadly the muslims do plan on forcing europe to become muslim. Have very starling pictures of a Muslim demonstration in London, holding hate banners saying that Europe will be Muslim and those who oppose this must be killed.

Do not yet know how to post these images.

But Bible prophecy actually predicts a different but just as horrible future for Europe.

I'm pretty disgusted about the way the education system is with some things.

For example from Year 7 on, I spent a good 4 years on WW1 and 2, which is fair enough although very little was from the perspective of the diggers.

I also spent a year studying Australian History. This involved a whole year on the wrongs we have done to Aboriginals. Now don't get me wrong it's an important issue which we need to know about, but they taught us NOTHING about our heritage. I think Flinders was only named once and that was it.

I was pretty lucky though that in Year 4 I had an amazing teacher who taught us all about the history of Australia. We were pretty much taught everything there is to know, heaps of little nitty gritty things as well. He even taught us how the Government works, something they didn't mention in High School. We also learned heaps about the Australians in the Wars. I learned more in that one year with him than the whole of high school I reckon.

Same here, Xul. In Primary School, we had teachers who loved nothing more than teaching us all about Australia and everything about our history. Sometimes my grade 4 teacher would get completely side-tracked and instead of teaching us maths or English, would spend most of the day talking about Australia's history.

In High School, it was WW2, mostly about hitler, and that was that.

What really scares me is that they don't actually teach teachers English at Uni! From what I have heard they hardly even teach them how to teach.

I might be old an jaded (well maybe not old, but jaded), but I look at a lot of the kids coming through these days and get pretty scared and how reliant they are on doing what society tells them to do.

Actually probably not half the people I went to school with were like that as well. It's definitely not a good thing and the world is changing. People aren't as knowledgable, they sue at the drop of the hat and they don't even wave when I drive past (this one really irks me).

I think I need to live in a shack in the middle of nowhere so I don't have to deal with all this, lol.

The bolded part reminds me of a joke.....An American..an Indian and a Muslim were sitting around chatting. The Indian said "Once, long time ago our people roamed the land around here....but now there aren't so many". The Muslim with a sarcastic smile said " Once there wasn't many of us...but now we number in the 100's of thousands". The American looked up and said " That's cause we haven't played cowboys and muslims yet...but its a comin...."
