| − | How will you know where your going unless you know where you've been. Archaeological history, the history of the sun, moon, earth, ...etc. How else could people plan for the future unless they knew the history of the past. Which is why any historian worth their salt will get their information from multiple sources, archaeological artifacts and/or sites, and anthropological studies. History most definately doesn't mean anything to those who try to rewrite it for selfish reasons. Such as political or assorted ideological purposes and used as propaganda to further their own agendas. Of which you will no doubt denote many examples of on this debate subject.--[[User:Roopilots6|Roopilots6]] 20:10, 25 April 2007 (EDT) | + | How will you know where your going unless you know where you've been.

| − | Mate...I totally agree!! In America, history is important too. Eample: If someone had bothered to look at the history of Mnt. St. Helens' eruption, they would've realised that it will blow sideways. If they had but checked this, then many more lives would've been saved. | + | Mate...I totally agree!!

| − | I can't believe that apparently nobody cares about their history, about the sacrifices people made so that we could be alive today. Just less than 100 years ago and again in 1939, thousands of brave men risked it all, laid down their lives so that we may speak English that we would retain our cultures, our pride, even so that we may live today and I'm sure they didn't do all this so that some idiot could say that they didn't care about hitory. Whoever that was is an ignorant pig and no I don't think that this view about the person is ithout evidence. I truly can not believe that someone thinks it appropriate to not recognise the importance of hisory, as history has shaped us, shaped whole cultures, whole countries, shaped the entire world. | + | I can't believe that apparently nobody cares about their history, about the sacrifices people made so that we could be alive today.
