it always bothers me when people don't see the value in history. It not just simply having knowledge, it helps you see and understand how the world around you works. a lot of the people i encounter have no clue how things really happened.
the whole WWII subject is a perfect example, and we've already fleshed out more specific ones. people forget that the war was going on for a little over 2 years in Europe, and forget it, All most people know is that the Japanese decided to attack one day for no reason. No mention ever gets made that Japan was looking for resources.
and thats just WWII. i bet any subject i study more closely is greatly misunderstood by people in general. true, you can't know everything there is to know, but the way some people talk about certain events in history, you'd think they'd actually crack open a text book, or at the very least, Google it.
