What's your favorite moment in history

Why is it that people who don't trust "the media" have no problem believing things they find on the web?

 

Because what's put out by the media is always put out with an agenda, and that is to deceive people and keep them in the dark. The people who own the media don't want the public to know too much, so it's better to keep them distracted with tabloid fluff about Britney Spears or Tom Crusie. Any serious issues that are covered are never covered in any detail, so you're really only getting part of the story, and that always comes with some sort of political spin to polarize people.

That's not to say you should believe everything on the web, either, because a lot of that is also disinformation and put out with an agenda. It's up to intelligent people with discernment and knowledge of things to determine for themselves what to believe and what not to believe. When it comes to the media, you don't have a choice because it's all coming from the same source.

 

No, Japan won by surrendering unconditionally, laying down their arms, and putting their resources into taking over the world economically.

I 'believe NOTHING', without at least 5 independent sources of valilidation.

Thus i do not believe in the bible.
But DO believe in einsteinian time dilation. [time is plastic]

I believe 9/11 happened. But it was an agenda of the west, not islam.
Building 7 is irrefutable.
Peak oil my friend.. will change the world.

When we started making fire and agriculture.

 

My favorite time in the past is when we dropped the atom bombs. We now have a small part of the sun in our hands. My favorite part in the future will be when Bush gets booted out of office

While I think using the bomb was a good idea, you do realise that near 100,000 people had to die when they were used right?

 

My favorite part of history would be the look on the faces of the people who thought the earth was flat when they found out it wasnt.

 

July 4th 1776,

the day the greatest nation ever created was born.

also the event that transformed the French monarchy, in which there was a domino effect throughout Europe Eliminating most poverty and injustice and rise of the middle class.

 

WWII - I'm only 22 so of course I wasn't around then but everytime I look at WWII documents/videos I always feel that it was a war between good and evil. The best part is good won....Also it was the catalyst for America becoming the top world power.

 

It's not as black and white as good winning over evil, the end of WW2 marked the start of 45 years of communism for eastern europe

 

I'm sure that was way better than the Axis totally eliminating Russia and conquering Eastern Europe.

 

I can talk about the geopolitical results of a german victory over the ussr for
days

come get some

Well, it really wasn't. Every country had it's own agenda and reason to get mixed up in this shit. Power and money were higher on it then just beating evil.

Well ;dog; went back to his kennel. Copped out.

Being 22 has no import.
You can learn all there is to know about ww2 in 5 years.
[datawise of course.. we were not there]

Good did not win.. the US and the USSR won.

And yes.. It MADE america. Americans should THANK GOD for hitler.
He forged their isolationist backwater intoa superpower.
hehehe'

Could germany have won ww2?
Hmm.. based on a thousand feeds..and experience.. i'd give germany 1 to 5 odds. [it's the numbers u see.. and the psychosis]
The operational planers like manstein and guderian were second to none.
The best in the world at that time.
It's the leaders.. They were insane

Occam

 

Russia won but so did America.
Germany lost. Japan lost. THE WORLD WON!
WWII ended. The Cold War started.
Russians lost. Americans won.
Yesterday is gone. Today is another day. Who knows about tomorrow.

 

I have so many favorite moments in history, e.g.
(A) The fall of Berlin Wall
(B) Kosova Independence Day

 

Berlin Airlift an "American Operation" the airlift was begun by the British Royal Air Force and as with most things in the 1940's America came late to the party. The majority of the aircraft operating in to Berlin were British . There were also Australian, Canadian, New Zealand and South African aircrews involved.
