Ummm... Stalin rings a bell, but I can't put a finger on it...

I'm no history major but I recognize all those names.
Franco made his fortune in canned pasta.
You could Google the others.
Seriously, we need to do a 180 on this don't ya think?

Andrew,

You missed Mao, Castro, Pierre Laval, and quite a few other nasty murderers.

Appears now that he bought ammo clips for one of the guns on eBay. He also sold items, such as books, football tickets, school memorabilia, etc. Makes you wonder if he was using the proceeds of those sales to buy his cache of weapons. Looking over the feedback of his user ID--blazers5505--I found a posting from one buyer that called Cho "cooperative and communicative" Particularly ironic considering that everyone that seemed to have contact with him said that the guy never talked to anyone.

Aren't you in high school? You must have learned about Stalin in History classes.

Bobby, looking at your myspace page, you look exactly like I pictured you. Exactly.

I don't think I ever heard Stalin even casually mentioned in a single class I took in middle or high school, and I graduated from high school six years ago (fuck, six years?! :frowning.

I didn't say I was perfect.

 

[bobbyg2]

Maybe you saw my picture in the mugshot thread?

 

[RobertR]

Does your lack of knowledge about this bother you at all?

 

[Henry Gale]

Robert,
If I may interject here, one thing I've learned from reading Master g2's posts is that he has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge.
He could ask you questions until the cows come home.
We're all ignorant in some field or other and just have to pick and choose how we will focus our lifelong journey of education.

 

[RobertR]

So the answer to my question is presumably yes? He will want to know who Stalin was, and his historical significance?

 

[Henry Gale]

I really doubt it.

 

[Rob Gardiner]

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it next semester.

 

[bobbyg2]

Say a fact about him, and I'll probably know who he is. I learned about him this year, but just forgot what he did.

 

[Dave_Brown]

google is your friend.

 

[MarkHastings]

LOL - Yeah, the phrase "...I don't know who that is..." should never be uttered on a message board.

 

[bobbyg2]

Doing some google searching, I found him... Neither Russia or China... I guess I was wrong :frowning:

 

[Holadem]

Nevermind.
