Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

So, ironically, in my GCSE Humanities I spent 4 weeks doing a project on the Vietnam War. Not really part of our British history, but interesting all the same, and it was a subject I chose. I'd already read about our civil war, both World Wars, Wars of the Roses, defeating the Spanish Armada, Romans, Vikings... Lots of wars, mostly stuff I read because I liked reading about it.

my point exactly Chris you are just like the rest of us blood lusting warmongering nice boys

I'm more interested in socio-culture issues and impacts than the actual fighting.

I'm more interested in the tech.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm not disinterested in tech. I'm a bit of a gamer. When things go wrong I get a bit panicky and cry like a girl whilst screaming "fix it honey, fix it, the magic box is all funnified!!" to Chris. Then things work again as if by magic.

Having such diverse ethinicity in my blood, I find a lot of history very interesting/important.

My ancestory includes Native American, Scottish, Estonian, British and German bloodlines.

During WW2 my grandfather (dad's side) met my Grandmother (Estonian) while liberating a Nazi camp, My great uncle & Aunt (Grandma's sister, Mom's side) were stationed at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked.

At the same time, My grandfather on mom's side was hard at work casting steel at Ingersol Rand for the war effort, he may not have been on the front lines, but those steel castings were.

He was also involved in the early days of the Wankel angine, again at Ingersol Rand.

I cannot watch any WW2 documentarries without feeling emotional over it.

How many real americans has this teacher ever met?? Ask one how they feel about this "thanksgiving" holiday

This particular teacher didn't like native americans. She never said it right off the bat, but I'm part Aleut. When I said that, she treated me horribly, along with another girl who was part cherokee. I don't know if she still works at that school, but I hope she was fired. It's not like someone can help it if they're a different race, colour, etc.
