oh, i thought they said that when all that y2k hullabaloo was going on, that the "0 year" was really part of the last decade/millenium.
that was actually part of an idiotic religious argument over what BC/AD meant
i don't think it was part of any religious thing, i just recall some talking heads on various news channels being pedantic like and saying the new millenium wasn't really until 2001, because the year 2000 still counted as a part of the last millenium.
Also the crappiest moment of the 2000's for me was when my 1 terabyte hard drive fell off my computer (I had the external case open to make sure it was still connected) and I think the damn thing broke

I mean, comparatively, students are only learning an infinitesimally small amount of real history. America is really only just over 230 years old and they really don't cover anything before the founding of the country itself.
I mean, fuck. The coolest shit happened in European and Asia anyway.

I once tried to do my end of year paper on the Gauls because they were never covered in history, and whoops the library didn't have anything on them either.

History as a required subject is a travesty, at least in the U.S.
I disagree. In the United States any semi-intelligent person learns that different people have different interpretations of history based on what they want to believe. In most countries people tend to learn that ____ is the most important country in the world.

A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

I'm sorry usagi if you see this I'm swaying more towards the history than the mech engineering lately

May I offer some advice?
Double major in something else, too.
Admittedly, I never wanted to teach history, I just wanted to do research and write papers about it, but I regret not having continued on to double major in Geology as well.

Are you tryin to say that 0 ain't a year?
(Re: Fighting Flip)
Fuck yeah man 80s were awesome.
It's not because of the clothes or anything like that, it was the most relaxed decade.
Unless you worked on Wall Street.
are you trying to tell me that the year 2000 was part of the 90s?
do they teach in schools that Germany used to be two countries or do they just skip from the holy roman empire to the current status?

Sorry, very figurative.
Would have been more fun if it was literal though. I could have been on the news!

No, seriously, are you out of your mind? The 80's was a fucking terrible decade. Everything from the fashion to the politics was atrocious.
The 90's, now that was a real man's decade.
like the roots are loose I can wiggle them around
they'll settle back in in a day or two but ouch ouch ouch
amp'd don't take this the wrong way but i keep mistaking you for lucky cynic
iirc, my state (Indiana) cut European History from elementary/middle schools altogether unless it somehow DIRECTLY RELATES to 'mericuh.
I knew nothing of the Holy Roman Empire until AP European History my sophomore year of high school.

Hahahahaha, I don't think they teach anything about the Holy Roman Empire until college, at least
From what I remember it goes Ancient Rome, "some castles and shit," the American Revolution, Nazis, and then Current Events for a semester.

so many that you had to wear pants backwards to even access some of them.
