I never brought America into this discussion. You did.
You also make an assumption about me. Yet, I will point out that a fact cannot be changed. There have been heroic American figures. The 5 from my family that bled and died so that you may berate me here are such heroic figures. As well, you know absolutely nothing of my own service to this country. Take a second prior to posting, next time, before you say something stupid again.
My point was that you brought in "American heroic figures" into a "History" thread. Not an "American History" thread. I was bothered that in your contextual reference you failed to be aware that written history started many thousands of years prior to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This is an ongoing problem with people of your mindset, and is dangerous. It provides one with a myopic vision of world events.
LOL, Some things I take for granted, maybe I should not.. For example, the fact that MOST ppl in the world know, (unless you were born as a part of a prehistoric throwback tribe from the interior of Borneo), that the word "HISTORY", is an all encompassing term, that includes ALL aspects of Historical reference.. Ancient History, Roman History, Medieval History, European History, PRE HISTORIC, (as in, before the written word), Archeological History, Geological History, even Galactic History, all the way back to the freaking BIG BANG, fall under that umbrella term.. And yes that includes AMERICAN History.. So your "Point" is stupid in and of itself!!
To selectively miss something that simple, and freakishly obvious, you MUST have a college education!!
And, it makes me wonder, (with all this family history), why you would feel that it should be excluded from same.. Or, is this yet another one of those, "Overeducated idiocy things", that I see so much of these days!!!
This selective outlook on world events, is what is Truly Dangerous!! And has been proven Over and Over!!!
