Calvin's Fireside Chat

The drop down menu works! Woot!

Fireside Chat in a History Forum. Good idea.

I'm sorry but why?

So Calvin, are you gonna gt to mod this forum?

I'd hope not, I think Janus Marius would be a more fitting mod, he seems to have a very large knowledge when it comes to history.

I have some gaps here and there, but I'm two years into college, going to become a high school-college level history professor. However, with my infamous history here at KMC, I'd be very surprised if I was asked to mod here.

Interesting...I passed Janus' history test.

Yes, you did. I was very impressed; you didn't strike me as a history buff. However, if you were to become a mod, you'd have to really go about this place a different way. Mods don't exactly get the luxury of doing things like unleashing on Bloigen, even if he was insulting the forum. You have to keep your nose clean once you've got responsibility. But I can't fault you for your knowledge so far. (Except Stalin was a dictator... ha!)

Well, I was thinking totalitarian, which he wasn't. He was a commie, not a..err...Tottie? Bloigen likes to troll though, and say dumb things but I guess you're right.

Meh, there will always be detractors. Just ignore them and they'll go away.

And while the Soviet Union was initially a Communist regime, during Stalin's reign it was totalitarian.

Im going to come to this part of the Forum JUST so I can learn some history. It'd really depressing how lame my school is..I won't be learning US-World hisotry till m ySenior year...I guess I'll have to go searching through Wikpedia...

That's the best way to do it. Just make thread, and ask questions. And the rest of us can pool in some knowledge. Forum in the purest sense.

heh, thats how i learned more about starwars really. I never played KOTR(Still havnt) and before I joined KMC I didn't know the Totj universe even existed. I just watched the debates and now I know quite alot actually...

*cough* 500TH POST *cough*

500, huh? That's not bad actually. There's been some pretty good turnout here.

Janus, are there any books on Erwin Rommel that you would recommend?

I suggest online resources, or an encyclopedia of war.

Knight's Cross. It's a large grey book, entirely on him and his life, etc. You can find it at any reputable book store.
