Oh, that's soooo cool!! :bounce: I would love to do that kind of thing some time!!! :)

I'm actually writing a book about Titanic... I've just always been fascinated about it since I was a little kid- does anyone else know a lot about it??

Yes it is ridiculous. I wonder what's going to happen when China wants it's money back.

I'm kind of proud actually. I mean our military budget makes up half of the worlds military spending. It's kind of like a who has the best car contest, we win!

Still it`s ridicilous and thats the point, ever since the united states gained more and more power ecspecially after WW2 it has been interferring where it should not have. I think the `world police` has stuck on the country too much

It's just trivial to me. Of course, me living here, I feel safe when I realise just the extent and striking power our military can achieve.

But to speak the truth I think we should drop the subject, we are getting out of history into politics, which is not good as politics are about everyone`s own opinions as history is based on facts, but then again everyone has their own opinion about what are the facts if they have not been found....

Agreed? :D

In History class today, my teacher made us sit in trenches the whole period! =D

It was cold and uncomfortable.

Down with trench-warfare!

Right now in my history we're finishing up Ancient Greece. I found it completely fascinating- I love all sorts of ancient empires, as I'm sure I've said before. :P We got to watch Troy too, and everytime "Paris" (Orlando Bloom :P) shot his bow and arrow, I would smile because he obviously has the same form as when he is Legolas. :P :)
