Imagine a world where historical facts weren’t taught because they might offend someone. The quote “those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it” disappears, as you cannot learn what you are not taught. Learning from the mistakes of the past becomes history, and the mistakes, injustices, and genocides of previous generations are repeated.
This is, in a word, horseshit. You can deny the Holocaust all you want, but you’d be patently wrong. Go right ahead and believe that the Holocaust didn’t happen, but the truth is it did. Get your religious beliefs out of fact-based classes. Believe it all you want at home, but keep it out of history classes.
People are free to believe any retarded, helmet-headed, drool-inducing, third chromosome ideas they want to, but don’t even think about including them in schools or deleting solid history or science because it conflicts with the shit you just made up.
Game One ended in a 4-4 tie. Ten minutes later, Game Two started. It ended in a 0-0 tie. Ten minutes later, Game Three started. Eighteen minutes and six seconds later, the Vancouver Canucksended the sixth-longest NHL game with a goal from Henrik Sedin off a dandy pass from his brother Daniel.
We managed to see the first four periods, and since I’d only set up our DVR to record an hour of overrun we missed the fifth and sixth. Luckily we switched over to Versus when our recording ran out and started in again at the beginning of the seventh period. Five hours after the game actually started, and at 9pm local time, we got to see the goal live.
…and not the computer kind. I need to get one of those pieces of fruit so I can participate in this:
In a nutshell, this guy’s going to make an animation made up of pictures of people holding either an apple or a lightbulb. Apple if you’re a dirty savage who believes in evolution, lightbulb if you’re a god-fearing religious nut who believes in creationism. As he says in the video, anybody can participate and the more the merrier.
Playoffs kick off Wednesday.
