No.. we aren't making History right now..

It's hard to explain, I'll try and attempt it. History is NEVER EVER set in stone.

Something is not History until it is written about.

Most of history is probably wrong or intentionally miswritten so correction, something is history only when it is written wrong about:P .
 
All History is by it's nature a byproduct of a number of factors, and can only be an interpretation to a certain level of accuracy.

Essentially 'The Past Is A Foreign Country'

What you are saying is totally abstract. How can suddenly something that occured in the past become history because it has been written? I mean if you are talking about history as a narrative of events or a story, it makes more sense. But history is events (doesn't matter the importance) that occured, has occured and are occuring.
 
You are going of topic with this history chatter.

At least, I haven't been overstating the topic by spamming the thread.
 
I hate it when people use commas where there should be none. Also, I hate the use of semi-colons in almost every instance.

I've spent a good year or so debating 'What Is History' :p

An event that occurs in the past is simply that, an event that occurs in the past. Events that have occured BECOME history once they are written about.

This is all part of an ongoing debate within the acedemic community.



The most rough and ready definition of History that can be agreed upon that it is 'what Historians do'

Wow. Personally I see history only as a word that defines the events that occured in the past. So does the dictionnary. I guess it is a recondite concept.

Well I'm going to bed so you'll gonna have to do all the spamming for me:P ...
 
Dictionary.com defines it as

n 1: the aggregate of past events; "a critical time in the school's history" 2: the continuum of events occurring in succession leading from the past to the present and even into the future; "all of human history" 3: a record or narrative description of past events; "a history of France"; "he gave an inaccurate account of the plot to kill the president"; "the story of exposure to lead" [syn: account, chronicle, story] 4: the discipline that records and interprets past events involving human beings; "he teaches Medieval history"; "history takes the long view" 5: all that is remembered of the past as preserved in writing; a body of knowledge; "the dawn of recorded history"; "from the beginning of history"


But I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.. History is my degree course :) I love it!

You hate french words? I wonder why the heck americans call fries "french fries". I mean for heavens sake the damn potatoes are originally from the American continent and not from France so wtf!? I HATE FRENCH:frown:

P.S. I hate all internet slang
Click to expand...

They don't even look the same.


The original french fry actually looked more like the potato chip/crisp.

The worst one for me is, "Alright Love."

What are you supposed to say, though?
Click to expand...

I don't mind people saying it when it's warranted, I just think it's over-used. It's the sort of thing a 13 year old would say in a high school essay, convinced that it makes whatever they're saying sound witty and intelligent so they can pat themselves on the back and say "gosh, I sure can write good!" when in reality all they're doing is spewing the same irrelevant crap over and over again like it was falling off an assembly line and they just end up looking like an illiterate, arrogant wanker who can't be bothered putting thought or effort into what they're writing!! FOR GOD'S SAKE MAN, YOU'RE MAKING THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE LOOK LIKE A TWO-TRICK PONY!!!!

*breathe* *splutter* *feint*

In other words, I wish people would stop using it so damned much!


Arrggh, I'm angry now. :x

Habitat et origine : arbuste ou arbrisseau qui pousse dans les bosquets et les terrains incultes, en Europe, en Amérique du Nord et dans la plupart des régions tempérées. Bien qu'il en existe plusieurs espèces, seuls le sureau noir et le sureau blanc ont fait partie d'une véritable tradition médicinale.


I have no idear what that means, i just googled sureau.
 
Habitat and origin: shrub or shrub which pushes in the thickets and the waste lands, in Europe, in North America and in the majority of the moderate areas. Although there are several species, only the black elder tree and the white elder tree formed part of a true medicinal tradition.

This is marvellous - so many of the words so many of you hate I love dearly. Absolutely marvellous. To wit: I've really developed a penchant for saying "genius" at the most ridiculous things recently - it becomes totally reundant. It's not entirely my fault, it's watching too much Mighty Boosh.
Please, Murray_H, don't hate me.

Anyway - shit words:
Chav.
Mint.
Metrosexual.
Gash.
 
lol, I tend to say "like" every now and then :D

Words I hate:

Dick
Fag
Homo
Gay

All of these words are used to much and it pisses me off!

I hate it when people say "That's just the way it is" ...

"Shut up numbers"

"Commie!"

"Shut up, you neo-fascist"

"Your opinions and evidence does not count, because you are (seemingly) brainwashed"

"I'm taking a grade point off of you for doing -"
 
To be fair, you did, last time I checked, believe that a government has the right to power just because 'it's the government'.

Anyway, I hate when people say 'grammer'.
Seriously, just go and punch yourself in the face.
