Huh? Really? You should be more considerate and not post stuff like this.

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?

Who knew that historical data was a US monopoly...

Not every bodies public education system is US centric

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?

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?

Amusing how both of those attacks were provoked

Pearl harbor, directly so.

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

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?

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.

Still don't get how the hell you keep botching the quotes.

EDIT: Oh! maybe the ability to construct and analyze logic, or generally make sound arguments is now classified as voodoo.

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