Ahhh, yes. Because understanding/comprehending history equates to being "patriotic." |

I'm sure that the Chinese, Filipinos, etc. provoked Imperial Japan to attack them as well. Amusing how both attackers were met with swift destruction... |

Perhaps not, but can you tell me the date the pompeii eruption occured, off the top of your head? Also, when was the last time that the date of pompeii or other natural disasters, such as Mount Saint Hellen, was posted on this forum? Who here want to beat me that the OP is an American who was feel very patriotic when he/she posted the OP. do you really expecte to believe that this thread was posted for purely acedemic reasons?
Apples to Oranges. Pompeii was destroyed around the first century. Your point? I haven't been on the forums long enough to see if the recent typhoons, or major earthquakes were discussed. As to being a "patriotic" American, I guess I'm guilty as charged. I'd love to know what country you hail from. Chances are good that American blood was spilled there (or foreign aid rendered) at some point. If the Mandela thread existed, then there is no reason that this thread should not also exist. Shall we go on? |

Not every bodies public education system is US centric Who knew that historical data was a US monopoly... Education, particularly history, is different regionally. To expect all people to know the historical information taught in every part of the world is not reasonable to assume. Given that historians rarely agree on many points, and one can devote their entire life to learning history and never know everything, I would say it is reasonable to treat peoples honest questions with a level of respect and be open to understanding that not everyone has learned the same things with the same focus. Why assume that everyone knows the historical significance of events that may not have been taught in their classrooms?
You are right, I failed to realize that the date "December 7, 1941" would be taught differently all over the world. I forgot how much disagreement and dispute historians have over that date. I mean, after all, that event kicked off a series of events which affected people living on at least 4 continents. I can see why would that wouldn't be included in their lessons.
Given that the person who asked the question has already outed himself as an "american" and thus subject to the same "regional" education as myself, your strawman argument is a bit irrelevant. |

Textbooks of other countries tend to focus more on the history of that country. 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. Do you know the year of the Boxer Rebellion? or when Khmer Rouge lost power off the top of your head? I'm sure its in your history books as well, but its unfair to just expect you to know the date of every big event from every country. The USA does not get special treatment with its major events.
Don't be so self centered as to expect everyone to know your country's important dates. Its pretty damn arrogant.
I reported this thread, it is completely irrelevant to Dust, dead celebrities, patriotic mourning (of people who would have died of old age by now anyway), and other stuff like this does not belong in general section.
Also, why the hell is 9/11 even in the title? What the hell?[/quote
DERP. Yes the attack on PH affected no other nation. Sorry Australia, The Philippines, Indonesia, etc. You get to sit this one out, apparently.
Except that the guy who asked the question is from my country. So, there's that. I hope that you get that moderator position, soon. ("Self centered/arrogant"- hypocrite much?)

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.

Why aren't we mourning for those lost in Hiroshima or Nagasaki? Or the brutal firebombing campaigns on Japanese civilian and industrial districts prior to the nuclear bombs?
Probably for the same reasons we aren't mourning the millions of Chinese, Filipinos, and Indochinese, and casualties of the Bataan death march. |

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[/quote
I didn't know I was having an argument. You are merely entertainment, especially with your TL:DR replies. Strange that you keep replying tho, or posted in the first place, as this post "has nothing to do with Dust." Touched a nerve, did I?
Oh, you are from Haiti. Interesting that you don't include what country you are living in now. So, I would imagine the reason you are not "nationalistic/patriotic" would be because, oh yeah, you are from Haiti. I guess I should be expecting the voodoo curse soon? |

Yah, is there another instance in history where so many lives were snuffed out in so little time? Yet it would seem that very few American care enough about that to go around flinging that date about. And why is that? Because it doesn't support they're patriotic mind set.[/quote
Or because your great tactical mind forgot to tell you that they were bombed to secure an early end to the war, and to save Allied lives, considering that the Japanese Empire said they would never surrender. I'm sure that your grandparents, if they came from an allied nation, didn't dispute the decision. So much derp in this thread, but it's awesome to see all of the America haterz come out in full force. If you hate us so much, you should have tried harder in battle :) |

So you're going to pretend a verbal exchange of disagreement ISN'T an argument? Lol alright, suuuuure. So I explain to you how you're being an idiot, and the flaws in you're logic and you say "TL;DR"? You're not helping the perception of your country one bit today. So I am the one with the nerves "touched", ye you're the one having to revert to racist voodoo comments? Sounds you're the one with the problem, boy. Racism? Really? You're reeeeeaaaaalllly not making yourself or your country look good right now. Basically confirming you are an arrogant poopypants.
Who the fuk says "poopypants?" Skipping your homework tonight, I see.
So, voodoo is racist now? So you are denying that a percentage of your countrymen do not practice the art of sticking pins into dolls and other derp? I must be making it up, because after all, racist. Also, you only get to throw down the race card once per day.
BTW, You may be having an argument. I'm just here for the lulz, which you have definitely provided. I'll send isk, shortly. Right after you report me, snitchypants.

Ahhhh, so here is an idea. You can mourn whoever you like, and I will do the same. In regards to talking: Pot meet kettle. |

Its about as racist as making a fried chicken joke about US black people. A large percentage of them may indeed like fried chicken, but its still racial stereotype. Saying I'm going to attack you with Voodoo just because I'm Haitian IS indeed racist.
There's also the part where you implied Haiti had no reasons to inspire patriotism despite having defeated militarily superior nations to win its freedom as the first independent nation of Latin America and the Caribbean, the first black-led republic in the world, and the second republic in the Americas
So yeah, you can nitpick at my choice of words in calling you a poopypants (which you are), but I'm not a worthless racist like you.
Poopypants racist.[/quote]
Yes, Haiti is a shining example of a country. You are right to be so proud of it!!! I take it you were one of the "boatpeople?"
I love the Fried chicken reference. Please tell me again what my race/ethnicity is. Or, are you doing a fair bit of assumption? Surely you are implying that I am a certain race, and that I fit some sort of stereotype in regards to things I "might" say.. Hmmm, now what would that be called?
Keep editing your posts, to change the perception that you know wtf you are talking about.

Pearl Harbor was an act of war on America that not only threatened the lives of many Americans, but also threatened the American vision, ideals, and freedoms. 9/11 was an act of terrorism with the same intent. Patriotism is an amazing thing in that it can allow a country to come together in times of hardship to overcome anyone who threatens your way of life. I feel genuinely sorry for you that you do not live in a country with such strong moral support and perseverance.
