One of the main problems in grade school history classes today is that textbooks focus too much on the big, famous wars and not enough on smaller issues. Forcing these kids to focus heavily on individuals in the European Holocaust may be less worthwhile in the long run than studying the Long March in China or all the purging in Laos and Burma.
As someone whose Celtic/French-Canadian ancestors pioneered Colorado and founded the first government of any sort in Denver, that pisses me off. Just because Mexico claimed the land in their own form of manifest destiny doesn't mean it was ever theirs in any real sense.
It makes me happy to see them doing this, but I hope she and her hubby have great security. They might be making themselves a target for anti-western extremists by reaching out like this.
Nastia-
First of all, most that emigrate to America prefer to be called Persian. And it's mostly just the ayatollah and his cronies that hate America.
Bob- You still seem to be making judgments based on nationality, and not independent factors. The French, on average, work far fewer hours per week than Americans and take more vacation time. They have time to exercise, even if that just means that they can afford to take a slower bicycle to work every day instead of driving a car on a highway.
And if you think the meat tastes different in Eastern Bloc countries because they have *less* chemicals in the food supply, I'm concerned for you.
I might've been missing something, but there didn't seem to be any gameplay. All I was able to do was click arrows, read notes, and then it had a *startle* ending like you'd find on ebaumsworld.
It sounds like the road would turn pink whether or not there's actually ice on it, so long as the ambient temperature outside is below freezing. That's not very helpful.
Bob- People in 'less developed' countries ( I assume you meant 3rd world?) have less food to eat than those in 'developed' countries, and generally have to do more physical labor to be able to buy food. Now that call centers have become a staple of the Indian economy in some areas, the workers there are discovering that they have trouble keeping down the weight because sit around for 12 hours a day, talking and typing.
Yeah, they're really stretching with this concept of 'weightism'. You might make an argument for sexism (fat women less acceptable than fat men) or ageism (old fat people more accepted than young fat people). But there's a major difference between making fun of someone because of their bodyfat, and trying to warn someone that they're putting their life in danger because of their lifestyle.
