Yes cause it always repeats itself.

 

To me history is an interesting subject. Like learning what our precedessors did to shape our country.

 

I use to be very interested in the Chinese Anicent History when I was in High School.

 

Sure, and I have a degree to show for it.

 

forget the past, it's time to move on

 

i like canadian history, american history, european history, chinese history, vietnamese history, korean history, japanese history

Gee .. Ralph didn't come back to post .. wtf .. lol

History is fascinating but knowing too much .. well .. not sure if it's any good to you. After all .. life moves forward, not backward. The lessons learned might not work nowadays too.

 

im an avid fan of history. i couldn't care less if lessons learned can be applied now or not, i find history to be fascinating, despite not benefiting you in the near future.

there is no such thing as too much knowledge in my mind. if a person states that knowing too much is bad, then that, is quite a load. the thirst for knowledge makes one a more educated individual. it makes for great conversation topics. some would be in awe at how much you know.

 

I'm more into the culture aspect of history (China mostly). Not nessecarily the events... It's quite nice to see how everything gradually developed. Art, music, dance, clothing, customs ect. Probally why I linger around certain periods of history.

What is this some sort of a poll? Nothing to discuss here, moving on.

 

Yes, I'm interested in history. I think it it good to know how we got here while also learning from our past mistakes.

 

History of every thing counts much more.In the lives of nations history is very important.Only the nations progress those who look there past.
