"Guise, I reported the thread!"
So, back to the amusement you are providing me. You stated that PH wasn't a "big event" in many other countries, insinuating that only the US cared/taught about it. I gave you no strawman when I provided SOME countries who most likely would care (you must have skipped the "etc." part.) So, please enlighten me as to which countries WHO ALSO PLAY DUST ON A PS3 do not include one of the most significant events in the 20th century in their history books. I'd also like to know what "secluded" country that people on these forums hail from? Strawman much? Let me guess- you are raging because in your village you were only taught about the local hunting seasons, and which tree wouldn't make you itch when you climbed it?
Losing the argument
You seem to be under the impression that its either a big event to every country, or its a big event to none but the US. The fact that its a big event to many countries in no way means it can't be a minor thing to many others. You're creating a false dichotomy. Me saying its not a big event for many countries in no way implies it only means the US was affected. It can be a big event to countries X, Y, and Z, but not be such a big thing to countries A, B, C.
If you read my original comment, I NEVER SAID PH WOULD BE EXCLUDED FROM HISTORY BOOKS of other nations, only that it wouldn't be treated as something one would be expected to memorize. Don't put words in my mouth. Here is a quote of what I said to make it easy for you, son:
"So while Pearl Harbor may be recorded in the textbooks of other nations, it won't be treated as such a big important date that one would be expected to memorize for non USA people."
Country of origin does not dictate access to technology, but current location dictates access to technology. Example: I am originally from Haiti, a 3rd world country, but now I live in a developed "first world" country. Haiti is not the best example of a secluded nation, but the principle is clear; someone may be from a secluded nation and later move elsewhere with access to PS3s and such thingies.
Poopypants baby, stop putting words in my mouth. Now go have Uncle Sam change that diaper for you
