Not so much knowledge in history

[Ibrahim]

hmm. this thread will get me going about history allright...I could go on and on about a prticular mod i saw, and its handling of a certain war, but out of good manners, I won't. needless to say, I'm scarred, my boss is pissed, and had he actually seen it, he would have had a heart attack.

alternatively, I really like the histories section in AOK from ensembles studio...absolute garbage when it came to the "dark ages".

I can always go on about how practically every one I met so far has no clue where Kuwait, arabia, or even hebron (khaleel to all arabs) is. hell, most around here don't know where the hell Israel Is, or the palestinian territories, in which hebron is located (that's when I'm asked my origions). and whats with the whole idea of the "oil shiekh" idea? it seems everyone thinks everybody in Kuwait is rich, even though 60% of that state makes under 60,000$ a year, and aren't even kuwaiti. girls run away, thinking I'lll cage them, or whip them or something. idiots...you should see what they think about the crusades. bunch of hicks. most arabs in kuwait actually know more states in the US than most of the locals know, and can find all sorts of places. some can een find bhutan (interesting place...). see if a local can find monaco. (or bhutan)

most cannot even tell me a history of this state (Texas). i know more about Texas history, and I haven't even been taught about texas, than the average texan. I was the only one in highschool govt. (in Texas), who could name every state in the US (I could have named the neighbouring canadian provinces as a bonus (british columbia, Alberta, saskatchwan(sorry If I misspelled), manitoba, ontario, quebec, newfoundland..etc. I even passed a credit exam-ridiculously easy (long though).. found out most can't make a 90% if they're lives depended on it. that was the passing grade mind ye (I made a 98 in both credit exams for history, a 94 and a 93 for 2 geography exams)

and why does everyone here pronunce Iraq as I-rack? sounds like something you say when you want to torture someone...

so ends my diatribe...you are all lucky I haven't discussed dinosaurs...

EDIT: VERY LUCKY!
