Re: U.S. History?

I wanted to.
WolfPack called me a b**** and has been very rude to me for a while now... he even gave me an infraction that was completely absurd so Davey reversed it. I just felt like everyone here seemed to think I was dumb or didn't know what I was talking about. Or they just didn't like me.
But I guess my best bet is to just shut up and not post as much... except on the games.

Re: U.S. History?

The same person that called you a b**** gave you an infraction? That's a little gutsy. Did he ever get an infraction for that or did you let it go?

Yeah, I think it's quite unfair.
I don't know, I guess I might just overlook it... but if I see something again, I'll let the administrators know.

Re: U.S. History?

But anyways... I learned something interesting today.
I will probably look completely absurd, but I found out that Marilyn Monroe had an affair with JFK? I never knew that! And she was also married to Arthur Miller, the author of 'The Crucible.'

Re: U.S. History?

I didn't read the entire thread. But, it's just the internet. Don't let people upset you. It's not worth it. People talk alot of smack when they are behind the safety of their own computer.

Back to the topic, I like historic sites. I really want to go to Normandy sometime in my life. Any place I can go to reflect on the sacrifice that was made is what would interest me.

Re: U.S. History?

What is your favorite/most interesting highlight in U.S. History?

Mine is WW2.
You (the US) joined a bit late though; you missed the early fun.

I never new it either, but that's not too surprising. JFK seemed to have a lot of 'on the side' relationships going on. I can't remember the woman's name, but apparently one of JFK's 'paramours' was also sleeping with Sam Giancana at the same time; Giancana is reputed to have told her he was responsible for putting 'your boyfriend' in the White House.

That's okay, FDR was busily scheming ways to get in for some time before that.

Re: U.S. History?

Yeah, JFK had an affair with Marylin Monroe. A lot of presidents have had affairs. FDR had one too. There are a few other presidents that had affairs that a lot of people don't know about. I guess all the power and fame and being away from the wife for long enough gets to their heads. That's one thing about JFK I just don't like. But he had a lot of good qualities. Like Clinton, morally he wasn't the greatest guy but as a president he did get some things done for us that were good (for republicans and democrats alike) like reduce the national deficit. I was told that if his plan would have been followed by Bush for the next however many years (I remember it was less than two terms) the deficit would be reduced to zero. But since it never happened that's up for debate. There's really no way to prove it right or wrong.
