I like history... I just dont like texas history

its repetitive

I only stayed awake in class for 10 minutes at most last year when I had history and managed to make a 96 average because I know what they are shoving down my throat by heart


Ucchan when were newfoundlanders massacred?  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

1916 or around there I believe. Here's the Wiki file on it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Beaumont_Hamel

Here's a quote from it:
Of the 780 men who went forward only about 110 survived unscathed, of whom only 68 were available for roll call the following day. For all intents and purposes the Newfoundland Regiment had been wiped out, the unit as a whole having suffered a casualty rate of approximately 90%.

wow thats... interesting?

I wanna say cool but it doesnt seem like the right word XD  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

Well a good part of the soldiers we sent to WWI got killed in minutes in the same place. It's hardly 'cool'. The third largest university in Canada was made in honor of those who died there; I actually live minutes away from it. To be honest, Newfoundland was still a British colony then; not even a part of Canada.

That was interesting, actually.

Ucchan, I feel you might want to read what's going on in Wearwynn, if you aren't aware of what's happened.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

Well Tora's asleep and you keep making long posts. If you could summarize it in three sentences or less or something...  

[CactiAndCanaries]

sweatdrop sorry

its amazing  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

in English class we read a book about it, called 'No-Man's-Land'. I'm not sure how it went, but I think it was about two Newfoundland soldiers who met in the ship that was going to Beaumont Hamel. One of them falls in love with a French woman while they were there. During that tragic battle I think at least one of them lost their lives, and the other one, while he did show up for roll call, was eventually went back to Newfoundland and never saw that French girl again or something. It was very tragic.

I dont like books on war... sowwi

I like sci fi and stuff but war books are... too real? I guess

scifi is based on fantastical things that have impossible things mixed with reality  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

I'm not overly fond of war books either. That was a part of my English course that year. I had to read that and a few other war books.  

[CactiAndCanaries]
