History - October 2006

My grandfather was apparently a memeber of a group of men that were known as the Van Deuse (sorry, my Granny just died - she would know...so I'm guessing) and they fought in the second world war...any info would be great!

Is Hillary Clinton planning to be a presidential candidate for 2008?

Can you tell me what her "promises" are? ( saying I will do this and that if you elect me as the president...)

if it was right for Britain to colonize the world , why was it wrong for Germany to colonize Europe? Surely Germany was less greedy and killed less people than Britain in achieving its aim.Mind you , Germany's colonisation of Europe triggered the two world wars , but Britain's colonization started from the date of African slavery.

I was born that year so I don't remember it, but I would like to hear first hand accounts from people who remember that year. What were the current events you remember, what were the styles and fads?, how old were you then?

It may sound like a stupid question, but why did we need to attack Japanese forces on Midway, Guadalcanal, Wake, and Iwo Jima--islands with few or no useful resources--before we sailed to Japan? Why not engage the Japanese fleet in the North Pacific?

A long time ago, like in Moses day, time was counted backwards, like 1500 b.c.e-1400 b.c.e. then to 1300-1200 on down to the first century and such. Does anyone know why time started out backwards like this? I was told that when Adam was sentence to die for his sin in the garden of Eden, he started counting down to the day of his death and it went on from there. Do any qualified people have a legitimate answer? If you don't know please do not give me just any kind of answer.

On a group of beautiful deserted islands in the middle of nowhere, the following people are suddenly stranded by, as you might expect, a shipwreck:
2 Italian men and 1 Italian woman
2 French men and 1 French woman
2 German men and 1 German woman
2 Greek men and 1 Greek woman
2 English men and 1 English woman
2 Bulgarian men and 1 Bulgarian woman
2 Japanese men and 1 Japanese woman
2 Chinese men and 1 Chinese woman
2 American men and 1 American woman
2 Irish men and 1 Irish woman
One month later on these same absolutely stunning deserted islands in the middle of nowhere, the following things
have occurred:
One Italian man killed the other Italian man for the Italian woman.
The two French men and the French woman are living happily together in a menage-a-trois.
The two German men have a strict weekly schedule of alternating visits with the German woman.
The two Greek men are sleeping with each other and the Greek woman is cleaning and cooking for them.
The two English men are waiting for someone to introduce them to the English woman.
The two Bulgarian men took one long look at the endless ocean, and another long look at the Bulgarian woman, and
started swimming.
The two Japanese men have faxed Tokyo and are awaiting instructions.
The two Chinese men have set up a pharmacy, a liquor store, a restaurant and a laundry, and have got the woman pregnant in order to supply employees for their stores.
The two American men are contemplating the virtues of suicide because the American woman keeps endlessly complaining about her body; the true nature of feminism; how she can do everything they can do; the necessity of fulfillment; the equal division of household chores; how sand and palm trees make her look fat; how her last boyfriend respected her opinion and treated her nicer than they do; but how her relationship with her mother is improving and how at least the taxes are low and it isn't raining.
The two Irish men have divided the island into North and South and set up a distillery. They do not remember if sex is in the picture because it gets sort of foggy after the first few litres of coconut whisky. But they're satisfied because at least the English aren't getting laid either.
