This is something on Woodrow Wilson. To catch the attention of any juniors/seniors,err, seniors/freshman(:P) it talks about how he was a racist prick. I have to look up the information later, as this is all from one source(Lies my History Teacher Told Me by James W Loewen), but not to be hoodwinked, here's an extra credit paper(it includes concepts ( Read more... )

"The conclusion isn't important."

Everything before it isn't either, because, it appears as if you are trying to say something bad about Wilson. What, exactly, was wrong with him?

If you're joking, it's incredibly obnoxious, if you're not, that's as scary as hell, and your icon pisses me off to the point where I've felt uncomfortable reading my friends' journals - which, I suppose, is sort of your point.

Explaining my true purpose/point here, would require more effort than I can put into it, at this particular moment ( ... )

besides, if you checked his lj, you'd find that the swastikas have nothing to do w/ Nazis, fascism, or anti-semitism. They're an ancient symbol, with a very different meaning, usually associated with the sacred feminine. I don't know what your problem is with it, as there is nothing inappropriate about it!

So now there are Anonymii? There is more than one, and yet there still AIN'T enough of you to concisely articulate a specific complaint. I hope the two (or more) of you aren't HGMers.

That last paragraph is somewhat convoluted, because I'm tired, and I don't really know what Anonymous' problem is anyway, so I have no specific response. Anyway, even if I were to explain the reasons as to why I use the Nazi swastika, I'm sure that one or more of them would not be palatable to Anonymous, but then again, he/she may be bothered by something else about me, or the icon.

A possible solution to Anonymous' problem is that he/she could identify himself/herself, then ask his/her LJ friends (the ones on whose LJs I have posted), to decide if they would rather have me around, and therefore continue to offend Anonymous, or if I should leave, due to their concern for Anonymous' emotional state being more important than my presence. Let's see where the majority resides.

Any educated person knows that the non-nazi swastika is a symbol things considered good. However, the Nazi swastika is the Nazi swastika, and it stands for the hatred and atrocities they spawned. That is the symbol in itself.

What is most disturbing from this post is your overt rascism. There are other disturbing things you have previously posted up, but let us deal with that first, shall we?

Many educated people do know about the good meanings of the swastika. However, they are cowed into silence over any talk about any kind of swastikas. This fear has been built up by the overall jewish influence in our society ( ... )

there is no actual critism of Wilson, it is saying what he did. However, what he did speaks for itself enough.

"... it talks about how he was a racist prick."

That's not criticism? Even if that hadn't been your preface, your assessment of the actual text, as not being criticism, is merely a fait accompli.

For instance, I could spend a week watching you, writing down your actions, and formulating a one-sided assessment, which was purposely negative, but without saying so outright. I then go to your parents, and read out my list of the "Top 50 Things Marisa Didn't Do Right This Week". I don't actually have to criticize you for the list to "speak for itself".

that part was to catch people's eyes who already had Amercian History-Woodrow Wilson is generally considered a great, upstanding hero

And of course, that's the point. I don; have to go into any viltrolic rantings for people to see the ugliness here. Wilson has alot of this stuff glossed over in history classes, or not covered. This is to show he wasn't the progressive hero that they make him out to be.

I don't necessarily consider anyone to be a hero. My point here is that you have strung together a number of negative-sounding incidents, with the purpose of making him look bad, which is something I could easily do to you, given enough information about what you do over a given period of time, regardless of how innocuous you generally appear to be, except of course, there would be a difference in scale between your actions and his.

You apply your own moral filters to determine his "ugliness", for us. You trot out a number of "facts", and leave it up to us to come to the same foregone conclusion. This is no better than the mass-consumption editorializing done by the local and national news outlets every day. I am willing to bet that, with some research, major positives can be discovered as having emanated from most, if not even all, of the incidents you mentioned.
