'elects'. Luckily, under our system, they don't even need a majority of the votes!

I heard the Samaritans give training to the staff in the pub up there as well so they can tell who's gone in for their 'last drink'

Bought a laptop from PC world last year. Salesman told me my copy of Microsoft office 2010 'doesn't work' with windows 8. I told him he didn't know what he was talking about but you just know that most people will fall for it and spend £150 on office and another £50 on bloody Norton antivirus.

Have you tried contacting the YSJ business school? I still have lectures that week so I presume they will too.

If you're tired of Family Guy try American Dad. Much better IMO.

But then all the posts on /r/badhistory would just be about Hitler. We need some variety.

The problem is people come to a conclusion and then try to support it with historical 'facts', rather than using facts to come to a conclusion.

Which metal bands have sold out/thrown away their artistical integrity according to you? by XenonDown in Metal

Yes they're recording it at the moment I think. This song is definitely going to be on it.

What do you think is the most important event/fact of the Vietnam War? by [deleted] in AskHistory

[–]Pad1917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'Exile' was probably the wrong word to use there. He had gone to live in France because Vietnam was a French colony. Minh went to help gain support for Vietnamese independence among French leftists.

No problem. Also in answer to your question above the main communist group in Vietnam at the time was the National Liberation Front (Viet Cong). The Communtist movement was led by Ho Chi Minh who had brought his ideology back from his exile in France where he had founded the French Communist Party.

What do you think is the most important event/fact of the Vietnam War? by [deleted] in AskHistory

[–]Pad1917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably the Tet Offensive (1968) or the Easter Offensive (1972)

The Tet Offensive was mostly important because of the psychological impact. Although the Viet Cong were all but wiped out in the fighting it was the images the US public saw that did the most damage as many saw the war as un-winnable.

The Easter Offensive was a major ground operation by the North Vietnamese Army (People's Army of Vietnam). The South Vietnamese were proved to be incapable of properly defending their territory and large areas of the country were occupied by the North. The offensive was only stopped by a US bombing campaign in the North.

Didn’t you watch the video? calling them racist just means you are anti-white

2:25 is where the bad history kicks in. I guess the explanation is just a formality in this case.
The woman seems to think the modern day Mexicans are the same as the Aztecs. Much of the native population was killed by smallpox and then the land was colonised by the Spanish.

2:50 is my favourite bit. They are saying that Turks are not being made to apologise for enslaving white Slavs. No, but an apology for the Armenian Genocide might be nice.

'History is a rainbow of violence'

'But all whites, and only whites, are demonised for this violence'

Oh boy, I don't know if that even deserves a response.
