Well Mr Spiegleberg, I think I may have some subject matter for you. After you succesfully changed history by making everyone believe the Americans won Doubleyadoubleya 2 I think the Roman occupation of history is ripe for 'altering'. Julius Caesar was really a cowardly muslim (not an Italian - the brothers in Vegas wouldn't like to see that) who wreaked his havoc on England where all the ancestors of those who went on to create America got together and kicked Romano butt! Or how about the invention of the motor car. Not Karl Benz and his mate Daimler. It was Henry Ford junior senior the 1st! The dad of Henry Ford senior the 2nd who created the Ford car company using the worlds ever car. OK some pansy in Germansville made a claim to have invented the car first but he stole it from that good American Henry Ford junior senior 1st. The list is endless...

Sidney (or whatever your real name is) you are a TROLL EXTRAORDINAIRE and definitely not a teacher of American History or any other subject.
You know nothing about American History. If you want lessons, ask away, but it'll cost you because the course is 3 years, not three weeks...

I'm surprised American history lasted three weeks. I note the questionner has changed from being an Englishman to now being an American head teacher. Nice one, Sid.

trollalicious sid, you're on a roll!
You're not posting enough about our government though. You've already covered the fat, no history, and no sense of humor categories. Time to move on to dubya now. Then you'll have covered all the bases. Off you go...

Answer, no no one is able to help you with your hate issues. This quote may help you to understand that there is more to life than living on an island and never having left it.
"AMERICANS STUPID?
Although I am an Australian, one thing that really annoys me is the constant refrain among non-Americans to the effect that Americans are stupid. How did a stupid people get to be one of the most prosperous on earth? How did a stupid people get to be the world's only superpower? How did a stupid people avoid ever having their cities bombed flat? How did a stupid people produce military equipment so advanced that no-one else can hope to match it? The Iraqi army put up a tenacious fight against the Iranian army but it just went home when a much smaller American military force arrived. How did a stupid people come to dominate the world with its cultural products? Ever heard of Hollywood or American popular music? And even Italians now make "Western" movies. How did a stupid people get to dominate the world with its products and business systems? Ever heard of Coca Cola, McDonald's or KFC? How did America get to dominate the world with its intellectual products? Ever heard of Microsoft or IBM or Intel or all the American Nobel prize-winners? How did a stupid people get to integrate successfully within their ranks large numbers of people from every country in Europe? South America and North America are both large continents well-endowed with natural resouces so how come there is no South American equivalent of the USA? How come prosperity stops at the U.S.-Mexico border? And how come it is Europe that invented both Communism and Fascism and that it was America that had to rescue them from both?
The truth is that Americans are a very wise and sophisticated people who very often affect a folksy style -- such as the style we see the high-achieving President George W. Bush or in the incredibly high-achieving investor Warren Buffett. But the REALLY stupid people are those who cannot see past the folksy style to the hard-working, dedicated, careful-thinking people beneath it. Only people as stupid as most Europeans could mistake style for substance. Really smart people would try to understand Americans rather than condemn them for having their own ways. They would see the folksiness as a sign of a less elitist and more democratic society rather than as a sign of stupidity.
And it is not only Americans who affect folksiness. Australia's most popular Prime Minister in the last 50 years was "Bob" Hawke -- a conservative in most ways but the leader of Australia's major party of the Left. Although he was so thoroughly bourgeois as to be the son of a Protestant clergyman and brilliant enough win a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford university, he normally spoke during his political career with a broad working-class accent. He certainly wasn't stupid but Australia too is a very egalitarian country where people of all classes are treated with respect."

Hmmmm did you cover the fall of the English Empire leading to the rise of the young nation of the US as the superpower that the world turns too for money, freedom and just about everything else?

Did you cover the entire revolution? The one where the small colonies whipped the Brittish back across the ocean?
