Ring Around The Rosie:
It was first published 500 years after the Black Plague, so it's a big stretch to assume that people were singing it for five centuries without writing it down. It's an even bigger stretch to assume that it took 600 years for someone to theorise that it was actually about the Black Plague.

Christopher Columbus * was not the first person to discover the western world.

So why do teachers teach this false facts.

LOL at 'western world', you're probably an american yourself or a Yankee dickrider and Ameriga Vespucci discovered America but it was never made known to the world or whatever you wanna call it. Columbus did and was the first to tell everybody so that's why everybody says he discovered it.

 

[not really ken]

who gives a fuck as to who stepped on a bit of land first !

 

[Bender]

two things that struck me, firstly

Christopher Columbus * was not the first person to discover the western world.

and secondly, Mari-Anne twanete (sp*) - (French revoloution)

Did not say over a balcony 'if you cannot afford bread, eat cake' or wat ever the line was. That was just a myth.

So why do teachers teach this false facts.

I feel your pain. Imagine how I felt when I found out that Jesus wasn't born on Christmas day!

Amerigo Vespucci voyaged to the Americas and wrote about it, but he didn't make landfall. He also lied about several things in his accounts, so he's not the most credible source. Besides, John Cabot, and ensuing fishermen from Bristol, had reached Canada before Vespucci reached America.

Never made known to the world? It was his letters that told the world about this new continent. It was because of his letters that the existence of the continent became widely known throughout Europe.

It's not some big secret that Amerigo went there. Where do you think the name "America" comes from?

ok heres my list or rant

*Judas did not, and i have to repeat my self since I'm in thugz mansion,did not betray jesus.
*there are aliens whether you believe me or not, only god knows
*JFK was not shot once
*Simon is not a evil person, hell hes one of the nicest guys I've met
* Yes, there is a Hit Em Up 3 out there (puts my flame suit on)
* Weed is not a fuckin drug
* j.edgar hoover is gay
* HIV or AIDS did not come from monkeys, it came from the goverment (no I aint no dumbass talking outta my ass, I speak the truth)
*New World Order...its coming

Can we stick to FACTS please?

Number one I don't know (or really care) about. I'd like to know whether you're basing this on anything credible, though.
Number two is opinion, not fact.
Number three is true; regardless of who you think shot him, he was almost certainly hit at least twice.
Number four and five...I don't care.
Number six is just wrong. Weed can "alter states of mind" and "modify a chemical process or processes in the body" and is therefore a drug.
Number seven is quite possible, though not entirely proven.
Number eight is tired old paranoia as is number nine.

I remember my mother telling me that her and my dad made babies by kissing..

Why the lies? Look at me now mom!

 

[Glockmatic]

then tell me where it came from (hiv)?

best guess is from people eating monkeys, getting the disease from the monkey OR genetic mutation which created a virus, and spread that way. Thinking that HIV/AIDS was created by the goverment is like thinking the avian flu was created by the communists to destroy capitalism

 

[Glockmatic]

you dont know shit, I used to be like you too.

give proof that the goverment created aids, oh wait there is none

 

[karun]

then tell me where it came from (hiv)?

a doctor in the 50's or 60s was working on polio vacinations because there was a huge polio epidemic in africa. they would grind up monkey parts to make the vacinations(ie. kidneys) and since there was such a huge epidemic they just quickly just made the vacinations without testing most of the monkies. They injected a lot of people with those vacinations probably near the millions. I saw an episode on PBS a year ago mentioning this.

back in the late 1940s and early 50's some tribes in africa ate monkeys and were fucking sick monkeys becuase the sick monkeys had a Green sheen to thier coat and they thought it was magical. and the virus transmutated to humans in the early 1950s people started dieing from it.

Some tribes in africa were very superstitious some places in africa they lick cows asses cause they think its good luck. Thats how this whole shit started.

 

[Glockmatic]

Just like there is no proof that the monkeys gave it. Hell theres been many articles ab00t how it cant even exist in monkeys. Theres cure out there too, just ask majic johnson.

Seeing as apes can have hiv/aids, it makes sense. It also makes sense that since people still eat bush meat, it has a high possibility that it came from that.

What, smart?

There are plenty of good reasons to dislike the government, you don't need to seek out conspiracy theories to fulfil your little vendetta.

You believe that the government created AIDS not because of any evidence, not because of your scientific knowledge of the disease, but because you don't like the government and you love the idea that they're evil. You like to feel smarter than people like me who are "brainwashed" by "the media". I wouldn't be surprised if you don't even believe it yourself, you just like the reaction you get when you tell people "the shocking truth" about AIDS.

If you don't like the United States than that is your opinion but I promise you I can list more good things the US has done than you can even conjure.
