But my point is, is that you don't seem to be trying. You call my stats useless, even though I gave you the sources. As a historian, I would think that you would be most interested in obtaining the sources of facts before validating them to yourself. Instead of relying on "the media" as a source. I can't think of a worse source for information!

ever heard the phrase "history repeats itself."? Well, history does repeat itself and maybe if you actually knew anything about the subject, you'd see that history is being repeated all over the world right now and I shouldn't have to tell you where. If you don't know your past, how do you know yourself? See, whenever a political or historical debate comes up in any discussion, it's always the science nerds that are silent. Why? Because they don't know anything other than technical shit that doesn't matter outside of their area of study or profession/career.

Don't even go there ladies. It's SO not worth it.

Oh, and may I point out that all the men in power in democracies are usually people who have an education grounded in social science? How often do you see a chemical engineer become the prime Minister of Canada? Probably never...it's always lawyers, scholars and businessmen who run countries.

I have an undergrad degree and have almost completed a masters (in a social science) and what you just wrote is way out of line. it's not something that should even be argued about. Some ppl in sciences know a lot about current events....and even if they don't they are doing extremely useful work (perhaps they will find a cure for the cancer you may develop from your smoking)while you are predicting conflcit in uzbekistan.

Hence why so many countries are a bloody mess. You'd think that if we knew our past, then we wouldn't have lawyers, scholars and businessmen in positions of power anymore.

Why shouldn't you go there? Maybe because in any social/political or historical debate, I'll use you to wipe my ass with perhaps? My friend is an excellent example of a smart science type that knows fuck all about what's going in this world. By his own admission, the only intelligent things that he can talk about are coding and software engineering...and every time a debate comes up, he can't say anything becaue he knows fuck all. A lot of science types are like that, I find.

so the be all and end all is being in politics?


engineers have extremely high rates of becoming CEO's whish is nothing to scoff at, and in a time of a global economy that is often a more powerful position than being in politics (this coming from a poli sci major)

Well, see...countries with a past to be proud of (like Canada, Britain, European nations, and to some extent the USA)....well our countries aren't a bloody mess because the scholars and politicians have looked at our past, recognised what was wrong and made sure it never happened (or may happen) again.

I wouldn't go there because you are not a good listener.
And is that the kind of attitude that you use when you normally interact with people in the "real world"?

i guess the ppl i know in science are more well-rounded than your friend.

no, it's not the be all and end all...but political positions are far more important than being an executive at Nortel (like my uncle). Politicians directly influence our lives and shape our future and to do that effectively, they should know their history well. What I'm doing here is refuting Stereo Princess's foolish comment that all historian's do is analyse the past and have no use in present day. What an idiotic thing to say.

There are A LOT of things in any of those country's pasts that I wouldn't be proud of. Including ours.

You didn't just call me a science nerd, did you? Techincal shit that doesn't matter beyond their area of study? Let me tell you, you wouldn't fucking exist right now if there were no "science nerds". There would be no food to eat, no water to drink, no air to breathe and no fucking sunlight to enjoy. Take you head out of your ass buddy and recognize that you are not studying history because you think its necessary, you are studying it to get into Law school and be an idiot lawyer and make money. Do you honestly believe that you can change the world by studying the past? I can change the quality of life that people lead and I actually care about it. What the fuck do you care about? An 85% on your essay. Congrats, you win the super prize.


So what if history repeats itself? The whole point is to not repeat it. If the inevitible repeating of history is going to happen anyways then I can just catch it as it occurs. Why study it over and over again?

you can't argue w/ the fact that there are CEO's that have more impact on the world than politicians (this is not what i consider a good thing, but it is a truth nonetheless)

no, I just have an unflinching desire to support my opinions. I know there are people who agree with me, but the three or four of you are hopeless.

Unflinching = not listening, in your VERY particular case.

And I beg to differ about the "hopeless" bit. You don't even know any of us, and haven't even tried to even listen to us, so I think you're more on your way to becoming hopeless than we are. Very nice. Very classy smitty.

Okay, WWI and WWII are the first big ones that come to mind. Our past and present treatment of First Nations people. Our past and present treatment of our natural resources. George W. Bush. Vietnam War. Gulf War.

And these are a few of my least favorite things...
