Unstream Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Oh, well the hour wasn't wasted then :P I'm bored, and I need something to do (other than homework that is). What's everyone else up to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Increasing post count. I should be doing homework. But that's so much less fun. =\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unstream Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 What?? Is that all this is for you? Increasing your post count? And here I was thinking you were here cause you loved us :crying_blow::P Hm, Laura hasn't been around lately either has she? Ahh! 3/5 of the insanity is missing!

livvy Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Of course I love you all! :D Goodness, I wouldn't care about posting if I didn't have awesome people to post with. :yes: :O You're right! Oh no! We're only .4 insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unstream Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Has you ever seen the movie Defiance? I really want to (but it's rated R), and I'm reading the book right now, which is really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 No, I haven't. Rated R movies aren't my thing. I prefer PG. Which is sad coming from a 16 year old, but... *pokes custom title* Probably why I have so many freshman friends... What's it about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unstream Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 It's about the biggest rescue operations of Jews by Jews. I thought it was such an interesting story, and I really wish it wasn't rated R. It's a movie based on a true story of the Bielski Partisans, which was led by a Jew named Tuvia Bielski. They were a major resistance force against the Nazis and rescued thousands of Jews, but for some reason, not many people know about them.

livvy Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Possibly because it was an embarrassment for the Nazis, and for a time they tried to cover it up? But I don't know... that sounds like a movie Seiler would like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strategos Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 So it's part of or related to the Holocaust? I'm scheduled to learn about that in a couple years, but it's one of the major reasons of WWII, right? Also, did you two get 400 posts in a week, or did I just remember your post counts wrong?

Unstream Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Livvy, I'd assume he'd like it, considering he's the AP Euro Hist teacher :P Well the Nazis were persecuting the Jews, but I think what got most of the countries involved was that Germany was attempting to invade them. Haha maybe we did get 400 posts. I dunno the exact number, but definitely in the hundreds lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Yea, it was part of it. (Though I couldn't tell you the whole reason for WWII, because history doesn't like me.) Why did the Americans join? I can't remember... But I'm pretty sure Germany wasn't invading us. *thinks back* I wouldn't be surprised if we had. We have skillz. b) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strategos Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 History doesn't like me much either. I'm going to scream in frustration and anger since I would really have appreciated a significant boost in post count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Livvy, I'd assume he'd like it, considering he's the AP Euro Hist teacher :P Yes; he's also a German. *gasp* Don't do that! Post in anger and frustration! :P If we keep this rate up, someone will be getting the pretty FM A*clamps hand over mouth* *to self* Drop the competitiveness, Livvy! *feels a pang of guilt* If anyone ever wants to tell me to just shut up, please do so. =\ I do so hate my competitive side.

Unstream Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Why did the Americans join? I can't remember... But I'm pretty sure Germany wasn't invading us. I'm pretty sure around fall of 1940 we started supplying Britain with weapons and such, ending our neutrality. Then the Japanese bomb us at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and on the following day, Congress approves FDR's request to go to war, and Germany and Italy both declare war on the US, since they are allied with Japan. And don't worry Livvy, nothing wrong with you posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH yea! I probably should have remembered that. I'm so historically challenged. :S Which reminds me, I have an outline to work on this weekend. I'm going to go do that.

livvy Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I wish I could do that... But all my friends are stuck at home with homework as well. Which is probably why I'm so addicted to this forum.

̊ ˉˉ ̊ Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 hey, it's better than nothing. Do you know what company provides your electricity? We have Com Ed around where I live. They totally suck. Not updating 30+ year old infrastructure, even as more houses are using more & more power. At least we havent had major repeated outages for no reason for a while now.
