For example:
What would German kids learn in their history classes?
"Ok kids, the second world war is a bit of a touchy issue here, so I need you to skip the next hundred pages of your textbook."
OR "So what I am saying, kids, is that the country you live in committed massive genocide."

I have been to the Hiroshima Peace Park in Japan, and while it is a moving place, the memorial museum they have there is, understandably, completely biased towards themselves. It gives the image of, "Oh we were just here, and we were nuked, and lots of us died." But does not even attempt to answer the question of WHY they were nuked. Would the Japanese youth be aware of their ancestors war crimes?

Unfortunately so, and anyone who has read a bit in to the subject of education in Japan understands their own denial/refusal of admittance of the war crimes of Unit 731 as well as other atrocities. Likewise, in Turkey you have the denial of the Armenian genocide. Unfortunately education is generally worthless and meaningless in most societies. It really doesn't matter if you have a phD or if you eat out of a dumpster, I do not look at these individuals as any different as far as knowledge is concerned because universities are almost entirely flawed and that extends over to every single subject not just world history. I'd like to add that history is a worthless cause.

Ah how humanity has succeeded!

Of course I didn't go to school in those countries. But my Japanese wife was very embarrassed about Japan's Imperial history.

The Germans and the Japanese have always had a tendency to obey authority without questioning, and look what hot water they got into. Let it be a lesson.

Well at least in Germany, they seem to be very ashamed of their history. For example, saying "zieg heil" or making the motion to heil Hitler is an offense punishable by up to a few years in prison, except for educational purposes.

So maybe they do educate German children on the war crimes commited by their country in the past.

I know the education in America is certainly moving towards being more and more anti-American. I've been asked over the years to write about how horrible the Americans were to do things like the internment of the Japanese, the red scare and even the draft. I've also been asked to take the position that nationalism and ethnocentrism are always bad things. Of course I've always refused and instead chose to voice my own beliefs (much to the dismay of my idiotic teachers who could do nothing more than to repeat the lines they heard in overly-liberal teacher's college) It seems to me like educators in America only want to focus on the flaws of our country and magnify them, rather than teach our students about how great a country it truly is.
Germany and Japan probably aren't as absurdly "progressively" liberal as America, however if my experience in this country is any sign as to the direction that the world is moving in, I'd say maybe the German and Japanese children do learn about their countries rather ugly history.

Hey man at least the Germans aren't DENYING the holocaust, I mean that is at least worth something.

Well at least in Germany, they seem to be very ashamed of their history. For example, saying "zieg heil" or making the motion to heil Hitler is an offense punishable by up to a few years in prison, except for educational purposes.


Perhaps because that's something to be ashamed about? Also, I'd be willing to challenge you on people going to prison for that in Germany. Proof, please?


So maybe they do educate German children on the war crimes commited by their country in the past.


Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.

The Nazi holocaust started with little, insignificant laws and acts of tolerated discrimination against minorities.

If you don't know how it all starts, it's easy to let it happen again.

Learning about America's shitty, horrible actions in the past isn't Anti-American, it's useful. It keeps people aware of how atrocities occur, how they're explained to the people as not so bad and necessary, and how to avoid allowing them to happen.

Also, when I was in school, teachers that say over opinionated or questionable things, they usually get ratted on by a student who disagrees.

School isn't for teaching patriotism, it's for teaching. History class shouldn't be biased, it should be (And usually is) factual.

I don't think too many sound-minded people would believe that America never does any good things. We clearly have.

Germany and Japan probably aren't as absurdly "progressively" liberal as America, however if my experience in this country is any sign as to the direction that the world is moving in, I'd say maybe the German and Japanese children do learn about their countries rather ugly history.

I'd be willing to say that Germany and Japan are at least as "absurdly liberal" as America. Remember, tons of people in Europe (And quite possibly Japan) laugh at us for being what they see as Backward for being so conservative.

it depends what level the courses are. at a primary/middle/highschool level, yes. the course material is incredibly biased towards the country you live in. this is because the education system (at this level) is not so much for education as it is for forming a smooth functioning society. so that is what you learn, only what will help in the smooth functioning of your society.thankfully history is open to interpretations based on cultural norms at the time, so over time our views on the subject at hand can change.

at the university level an independent study level i would say history is only as biased as you wish it to be. again the great thing about history is that it is subject to reinterpretation. so the more you read, the more ideas you are exposed to, an the closer you get to YOUR understanding of events.


tl/dr

think for your self

Perhaps because that's something to be ashamed about? Also, I'd be willing to challenge you on people going to prison for that in Germany. Proof, please?

Of course it's something to be ashamed of, I didn't mean to imply in my previous post that it'd be wrong for Germans to learn about their countries history, or that the Holocaust wasn't really all that bad, I was simply using the example of how in America the education system has no problem with pointing out the flaws in American history, and not only do they have no problem with pointing them out, but they exaggerate them and force students to take an anti-American position.

And as for my source on that I just got that from wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieg_heil
Not the most credible I know, but it's certainly believable.

I don't think too many sound-minded people would believe that America never does any good things. We clearly have.

I never said that we shouldn't learn about the internment of the Japanese, it's just the way in which they are taught they annoys me. Students were expected to take the position that America was outright wrong and it was a horrible thing to do. In both the internment and the red scare, there WERE legitimate reasons. In our schools today, those reasons aren't taught, we are just taught that America was wrong and evil.

This is specifically why I didn't use slavery as an example. In the case of slavery, America certainly wasn't at all justified and almost no one believes they were. So it's a lot more understandable to teach slavery with a mindset that America was definitely wrong and its actions were completely unjustifiable.

However in the cases of the internment, the red scare, and ESPECIALLY the draft, the other side is a reasonable position to take. It is not so absurd to say that the country was safer after interning the japanese, arresting all the commies or drafting innocent high schoolers into the army. It is completely absurd for any school (especially a public school like the ones I attended) to marginalize a reasonable political position.

America's shitty actions don't need a whole lot of exaggeration. We killed Millions of native Americans and took their land, we dropped Atomic Bombs on cities, etc, etc.

People see the good that a country does all the fucking time, but it's important to pay more attention to the bad. If people are very critical of their countries actions, chances are, the country will do less stupid, shitty things.

And as for my source on that I just got that from wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieg_heil

Well, god damn.

It was wrong. You lock up criminals and actual dangerous people, not entire groups.

In both the internment and the red scare, there WERE legitimate reasons. In our schools today, those reasons aren't taught, we are just taught that America was wrong and evil.


The internment was fucking stupid because we locked up Japanese and German-Americans simply because they were German and Japanese.

That would be like (No different, actually) locking up Iraqi-Americans during the two Gulf Wars.

This is specifically why I didn't use slavery as an example. In the case of slavery, America certainly wasn't at all justified and almost no one believes they were. So it's a lot more understandable to teach slavery with a mindset that America was definitely wrong and its actions were completely unjustifiable.Agreed.

However in the cases of the internment, the red scare,and ESPECIALLY the draft the other side is a reasonable position to take.The Red-Scare was fucking stupid, the Interment of the Japanese (And Germans) in America during the War was fucking stupid, and the Draft is just a draft. There's nothing wrong about it. It's a way of getting soldiers when necessary.

It is not so absurd to say that the country was safer after interning the japanese, arresting all the commies or drafting innocent high schoolers into the army. It is completely absurd for any school (especially a public school like the ones I attended) to marginalize a reasonable political position.So the country was safer because we locked up commies? Would the country be safer if we locked up commies now? Would the country be safer if we locked up Iraqis, or even Muslims now?

I agree that a biased school is a fucking stupid one, but things like the Red-Scare and the German/Japanese internment camps were just based out of Fear. People do stupid shit when they're scared.

The fact is, there was a major threat to America from both commies and japanese spies at those times. So while the internment and the red scare weren't done in the right way, and definitely ended up being extremely unfair to many japs, and to many innocent people. The country did end up being safer because of them.

But I'm not here to say that these were justified, I'm just saying I think schools can't teach us only one side of an issue. Many of the less intelligent students in my class just heard this and accepted it unthinkingly. No matter what your political persuasion is, surely all totseans can agree that people who don't even analyze the issue and just repeat what they heard somewhere are idiots. At least if schools introduced to us both sides of the issue we'd have a populous that isn't so stupid and willing to accept whatever they hear from an authority figure all the time.

But another example I didn't bring up in my last post is that I've had many teachers over the years who were so quick to point out times when American ethnocentrism was a horrible thing and we should all just be politically correct little faggots. However, not once did I ever hear those teachers talk about the danger of muslim extremism and how ethnocentrism was what caused 9/11. Because that wouldn't be politically correct. What has this world come to? We have no problem with our teachers telling us that we live in a horrible country and that europe is just so much more advanced than us. However if a teacher mentions that it was muslims who attacked on because of their religious beliefs, well the teacher would just be exiled.

Would the country be safer if we locked up Iraqis, or even Muslims now?

Yes it would.

You need to weight fairness to safety. Don't give up freedom for safety. Not your freedom, not my freedom, not anybodies freedom.

The stupid and ignorant deserve to be taken advantage of. You don't need a high I.Q. to be reasonable and avoid being a pawn.

Alright, ethnocentrism didn't cause 9/11, the fact that terrorists had a reason to direct their rage and violence toward us is what caused 9/11.

Al Qaeda didn't attack Mexico or Japan. Mainly because Mexico and Japan weren't/hadn't bombed them and set up bases in their country. Is there a religious element to it? Fuck yes, but that doesn't make Islam evil. You can bastardize and twist ANY religion to justify horrible things.

By "advanced", I assume you mean culturally? I wouldn't go that far, but I will say that they're much more tolerant of all peoples in Europe than they are in America. Much less ignorance.

Ethnocentrism and extremism is never good, no matter what side it's on.

They're not tolerant of foreigners; especially Americans and Gypsies. Russia is one of the most ethnocentric nations on Earth, very anti-American. Non-white and sometimes white Americans are often stomped by skinhead gangs in public. North African immigrants in France are some of the most racialist, hateful people in Europe. Poland is one of the most nationalistic, racist nations on Earth. Greece is one of the most racialist and nationalistic nations on Earth. Spain and Italy are reverting back to their pre-democratic ways. I'd like to add that almost every country in Southern Europe preferred John Mccain over Barack Obama. Have you ever even been you Europe? Shut the fuck up you fucking whiny liberal faggot, I'm so sick of your naive ass.

They're often not tolerant of Americans. Mainly because they see Americans on TV and the Internet poking fun at them, calling them faggots, etc, etc.

Skinhead gangs in ANY country do not represent the majority, therefore do not represent that country. That would be like saying that because Skinheads in America commit hate crimes, all Americans are racist. It's untrue.

Poland is one of the most nationalistic, racist nations on Earth. Greece is one of the most racialist and nationalistic nations on Earth.Something in me questions this, but just for the hell of it, I'll accept it as fact for now.

Spain and Italy are reverting back to their pre-democratic ways. I'd like to see some citations. Mainly because if it's true I'd like to read up on it.

Poland, Greece, Italy and Spain are not all of Europe.

I'd like to add that almost every country in Southern Europe preferred John Mccain over Barack Obama.I'd like to ask for proof (as I have from others on various occasions) of your claim.

They're often not tolerant of Americans. Mainly because they see Americans on TV and the Internet poking fun at them, calling them faggots, etc, etc.

What kind of justification is that? You justify their discrimination because (your ignorant ass) believes that they do it because they have seen Americans poking fun at them on the internet and the television, yet you go on to make this argument about generalization:


Skinhead gangs in ANY country do not represent the majority, therefore do not represent that country. That would be like saying that because Skinheads in America commit hate crimes, all Americans are racist. It's untrue.

How hypocritical of you, why is generalization okay if promoted by Europeans; but not Americans? Speaking of hypocrisy, the same argument.


Skinhead gangs in ANY country do not represent the majority, therefore do not represent that country. That would be like saying that because Skinheads in America commit hate crimes, all Americans are racist. It's untrue.



It's untrue because there aren't a majority of skinheads in the USA nor are skinhead beating rituals a common occurrence. The same cannot be said of Russia. I'm very tired of people using the generalization argument hypocritically, you claim that I am wrong for generalizing Russia as a bunch of skinheads yet your counterargument is that because the majority of Americans are not; therefore nowhere else in the world is. Perhaps you should think about what you're typing before you submit a reply.


Sometime in me questions this, but just for the hell of it, I'll accept it as fact for now.



I'd like to see some citations. Mainly because if it's true I'd like to read up on it.

Google the immigration crackdown and fingerprint documentation of Roma.

Those are the countries I mentioned, the same can be said for every other country with the possible exception of Norway, Denmark etc.

Not really; Spain and Italy had the highest percentage of "don't know, refused", that's because no one wants to be seen as racist by declining Barack in the fascist dictatorship of the EU. Google it and you will see who has who's support; don't cherry pick links.

If I asked you about Spanish political parties right now, and who you'd like to win based on how they'd effect you, what would you say?..

Not everybody pays as much attention to OUR politics as WE do.

What kind of justification is that? You justify their discrimination because (your ignorant ass) believes that they do it because they have seen Americans poking fun at them on the internet and the television, yet you go on to make this argument about generalization:

How hypocritical of you, why is generalization okay if promoted by Europeans; but not Americans? Speaking of hypocrisy, the same argument.

No, I said that they do it to us because we do it to them. I'm not favoring anybody or saying it's right, I'm just giving a possible reason for their actions.

It's untrue because there aren't a majority of skinheads in the USA nor are skinhead beating rituals a common occurrence. The same cannot be said of Russia.
People beat eachother up for racial reasons all the time in the U.S..

Whites beating Blacks/Jews/Hispanics, Blacks beating Jews/Whites/Hispanics, etc, etc.

So you believe that Americans never go around saying "Fuck those European pansies" or similar comments? Perhaps America has shat on them in some way?



Do you not think Europeans do the exact same thing, and have been ever since the colonial days? You're shifting points because you don't want to admit what a hypocritical contradictory assclown you are.

Not really and, not nearly in the same fashion as they do in Russia, who actually have skinhead white supremacist private militaries.

Why, because it is fitting of something a whiny liberal neutered queer such as yourself would say? A generalization is a generalization, but not that is not what I implied you fucking illiterate dumbass. What I implied was that you made the assumption that because not EVERYONE IN AMERICA is a skinhead, that everyone in Russia certainly must not be; it isn't the case, quote me when I say that Russia is by far the most racist extremist white country on Earth. A great number of people there are skinheads or racist nationalists in general.



Lol, Russia.

Come again?



Hey, you're the one pulling facts out of his ass. The burden of proof lies with you.

What is it with you and these homosexual overtones? Pulling something out of his ass? Shut the fuck up you fucking queer, no one cares to hear about your mental perversion.

There's your ethnocentrism, right there.

Do you not think Europeans do the exact same thing, and have been ever since the colonial days? You're shifting points because you don't want to admit what a hypocritical contradictory assclown you are.

Right, they've got more. They have over 50,000 skinheads in Russia, which is the total skinhead population for the rest of the world. It's just stupid to assume that we don't have a lot of hate crime in the U.S..

Are you capable of posting something without being extremely offensive?

Also, cocks.

There's your ethnocentrism, right there.

That's not ethnocentrism I never said that as a boasting of national pride it's simply a matter of fact and I doubt any non-USAeans are going to disagree with that. That's your problem you have a very insecure psyche and you interpret everything as offensive. Because you are a fucking HOMOSEXUAL.

So your point is that because I said that not everybody in America is a racist skinhead, that I also say that there are no racist skinheads in Russia?

I'm simply not going to discuss this with you anymore out of fear that I may take my shotgun and kill the nearest person that I think resembles you (i'll be heading to a gay bar).
