amazing how history repeats itself so flawlessly.

It amazes me how history repeats itself by us not being ready or seeing the repetition coming also.

What exactly does that mean anywqay, History repeats itself? I heard that a lot, but can't really see it.

cough George cough dubya cough Bush cough

good article. Articlates what is happening around the world. History does repeat itself.

Great one more that said that

What the hell Alexander only once conquered Persia, Roman Civil war and the rise of Cesar (wait, only once) Charles the Great, only once became Caesar of the Holy Roman Empire I don't get it, what do you mean with that statement, of course you can try to make something like Yeah thetre was a revolution in the Us and then in france (but that was a whole ****ing different thing)

actually, historians place the french revolution and that in the US under one big Atlantic Revolution

Well then when did this one big atlantic revolution repeat itself.

Are you sure? I mean they are very different from every point of view.

What an utterly tiresome comparison!

go to a history prof, they do

Go to some profs and they might. Plenty won't.

Well I belive you, I am just saying that I can't understand why, but well I am not a historian so....

well, they explained it to me last year... but I believe I was either asleep or reading a book

Thats not good really, History is important and/or interesting

Just to be clear, my 'tiresome' comment was about the link in the opening post.

you dont have to be. read it and formulate your own opinion, rather than debate my own opinion of it.

Seriously, though, the opening piece is a flawed piece of work, and particularly discreditable in adjusting the circumstances and, critically, the timing of Chamberlain's agreement to try and force a square peg into a round hole.

This article would not pass as a reasonable and researched comparison in a basic history class for 14 year olds. It is absolutely dreadful.

Yeah, history will repeat itself! George Bush will kill millions of Jews, homosexuals, and disabled people in an attempt to clense the human race!

Idiots.

I take idiots refer to something else than the theory history repeats itself?
