      Think of it this way: if you had had 10 upvotes on it, would you have got -240 points? :laugh:

        One of my pet hates is when those idiots on TV say so and so did something that changed the course of history it didn't, history occured and didnt change, had they not done it history would have still occured, you cannot change history by an action, you can only correct history, not change it grrrrrrrr

          Like when commentators say something along the lines of 'history being written' as has been uttered a lot in the last couple of days. Yep, that's how history works you twonk.

              Many Post Modernists believe that history can indeed be changed, after the fact as it were, and that this happens all the time. For example a Mr T Bliar could be telling a lie today but tomorrow history gets altered and now he didn't tell a lie as it was retroactively made true. Personally I think this kind of thinking is a mental illness but apparently up to 50% of those under 35 in the UK think like this :omg:

                        history is the record of events, oppinions on those events can change, knowledge about those event can change, but history does not

                              Oops! I may have to declare I am guilty as charged, but it was not intentional and therefore no malice was intended. Let me offer to redeem myself: If you can tell me in little words that I can understand how to delete a thread I may have started, they may transfer 10 of my points to you. :-D
