The serious study of history begins by asking questions about the past.
Consider these questions:

1. Who killed President John F. Kennedy and why was he killed?

2. Was Abraham Lincoln a racist?

3. Did Thomas Jefferson keep a slave mistress and father five mulatto children?

4. Was the Tet Offensive of Jan. 1968 during the Vietnam War a defeat for the US?

5. Who invented scalping?

What do these questions have in common?

 

[KagePrototype]

They all involved America in some manner?

 

[Dalamari]

They are all fights over race/color......

That would be my guess.

 

[ailevation]

:naughty: Of course all of them had to do with America.

race/color, what about the JFK one? That one too?

 

[Alsi]

There is something about all these points, that the public wasn't told?

All of the situations contain something or someone related to war.

JFK= Nam
Lincoln=Civil War
Jefferson=Not quite sure, Revolutionary war/war of 1812??
Tet=Nam
Scalping=Indian v White man wars of the early days.

1. I dunno, I'm canadian, probably killed over a hockey game.

2. Most likely let out something racist when his team lost a hockey game.

3. Probably, just as long as they played hockey.

4. Yeah, the VC had better stick handeling and the final score was 2-4 for the VC

5. Wayne Gretzky?

42 .

 

[Brian Damage]

No, 42 is the answer to the greatest question in the Universe, which is "What is Seven Times Seven?"

 

[Feath]

2. Was Abraham Lincoln a racist?

I seem to remember reading somewhere that Lincoln was racist (by our modern standards) and that any anti-slavery policies he had was as a result of politics not any views held by himself.

 

[Feath]

No, 42 is the answer to the greatest question in the Universe, which is "What is Seven Times Seven?"

Wouldn't that be 49?

What do these questions have in common?

1. A cloaked alien sitting beside him. He was killed because he tried to expose the reptilians to the public, and their quest for New World Order.

2. Yes. He hated all human, as he was a before mentioned reptilian.

3. Probably, and they had big teeth and scaly skin too.

4. Not really, since the entire war was orchestrated.

5. Someone bald wanting to get warm? Naw, seriously it was taken up by the indians when they saw reptilians doing it, to prove they've killed them (this isnt like the unreal Predator, lugging around a head and spine is troublesome).

And yes I'm very serious. This *is* a forum after all, arent we all serious?

 

[Sgt_Shellback]

The serious study of history begins by asking questions about the past.
Consider these questions:

1. Who killed President John F. Kennedy and why was he killed?

No one was ever convicted of the crime. Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested but died before a trial was held.

2. Was Abraham Lincoln a racist?

He was quite liberal for his time

3. Did Thomas Jefferson keep a slave mistress and father five mulatto children?

I believe DNA tests recently showed this was true.

4. Was the Tet Offensive of Jan. 1968 during the Vietnam War a defeat for the US?

Tactically no. Strategically no. Politically yes... Images of the Tet Offensive are what really turned public opinion.

5. Who invented scalping?

French I think...

What do these questions have in common?

Kevin Bacon

 

[Brian Damage]

Actually, yes, it would. Maybe it was "What is Six Times Seven?", then. I forget. I'm pretty sure it turned out to be a mathematical question.

 

[The Monkey]

No, 42 is the answer to the greatest question in the Universe, which is "What is Seven Times Seven?"

No, it's the answer of either what is nine times six or "How many times does a man have to walk down a street?". .P

 

[OCybrManO]

42 is the answer to "the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything"... the problem is that no one knows what the question is asking (except with the possibility of Marvin the depressed robot). The six times seven (or 9, because of DNA's poor math skills) thing was just someone's guess.

There is a theory that states that if both the ultimate answer to the question of life the universe and everything and the ultimate question of life the universe and everything are known the universe will be destroyed and replaced by something even more inexplicable.

There is another theory that states that this has already happened.

 

[DEATH eVADER]

1. Who killed President John F. Kennedy and why was he killed?
He killed him self (from the grassy knowl)to prevent him going to jail over some scam several years later into his future. This would of lead to J Hoover becoming president and Time changing (Got this from Red Drawf)

2. Was Abraham Lincoln a racist?
No but he was an athelete

3. Did Thomas Jefferson keep a slave mistress and father five mulatto children?
What?

4. Was the Tet Offensive of Jan. 1968 during the Vietnam War a defeat for the US?
Yes

5. Who invented scalping?
Europeans did

What do these questions have in common?

Don't ask me

Since you already corrected everything else...

Paranoid Android is what he was!

He was depressed though I suppose.

 

[OCybrManO]

He didn't seem all that paranoid to me... and I couldn't remember what his "official" name was.

 

[ailevation]

Well I got the answer from my U.S. History teacher. Man she is the best teacher EVAR! She's 22, originally from Laguna Beach, CA and now in Long Beach, CA =). She's everything... she's hot, she's got like big knockers, she can basically relate to like every damn student in the class... I mean she is even thinking of giving her number to us and vice versa to go surfing with who goes surfing!

Anyways back on topic... the relation to all these questions(well the answer she was looking for) is that they all have no answer. There's different perspectives to each question, theres two or more sides to each one.

 

[Foxtrot]

The tet offensive was a military victory for the US because they took out the enemy with few casualites, I think they held most if not all the towns/villages. Also it was a huge moral boost because now they could finnaly fight the enemy in the open. Politically it was a huge defeat for the US, it showed people that N Korea was capable of coordinating massive offensives. I did a paper about this 2 years ago.

 

[Brian Damage]

Oh, well... I did get it secondhand through our Dungeon Master, Grant...
