NSG Senate Lobby: Bread, Circuses and Automatic Weapons

[Regnum Dominae]

Anyone want to make me a logo for the Ministry of Education? (thanks in advance)

I had the urge to shake his hand, but I didn't.

Was it really him?

Looked like him. A lot. But I wouldn't know for certain.

Did he have the Australian swag?

I can sense a strong anti-UKIP spirit

I can sense a strong anti-UKIP spirit

Here (on NS) or in the UK? Coz anyone with half a brain and some political sense hates them, pretty sure that applies to both places.

My history classes this year are on Europe and the Middle East from around -5000 to 1492.

I have 'The USA from 1917-1951, 'Boom', Bust and Recovery', and 'How did Individuals Affect Relationships Between The Great Powers in The Period 1871-1991?' Last year I had 'The (British) Experience of Warfare, 1854-1919', 'Stalin's Russia, 1924-1953' and 'Ideology, Conflict and Retreat: The USA in Asia, 1950-1980'. Last year can, in other words, be summarised as 'War, The Musical Lesson'. We did Crimea, 2nd Boer, WWI, 'Great Patriotic' (WWII), Korea and Vietnam.

What with it being a Modern History A Level.

Starting GCSE history, we've done bridging units on conspiracy theories (coz fuck common sense) and the suffragettes so far. Should be heading into History of Medicine, the American West and a local history topic on some nearby castle for our actual GCSE. None of which I'm particularly enthusiastic about, though the American West sounds alright, but it could be worse.

That sounds good compared to what my school does for GCSE History. If it doesn't include Hitler, we don't do it.

Are you in the US or the UK?

I thought I was in the United Kingdom, but I could be wrong We were split into groups and each given an event to research. Then, we were presented with multiple theories and evidence for each one. The problem? They decided to weigh each theory equally in terms of the evidence we were told about. This meant that batshit crazy theories, like the royal family taking out Diana, looked like they were just as feasible as the obvious, like the almost definite fact that her death was an accident. Out of 9/11, JFK, Marylin Monroe, Princes Diana, the Princes in the Tower and Jack the Ripper, I ended up with one of the only two actual mysteries - JtR, PitT being the other mystery.

Guess that's the other option.
"Who gives a shit how important or interesting it is, let's do it!" or "WW2 is interesting and important, so we'll teach you about it until it's no longer interesting and what you're learning is no longer important."

Oh no, we've done about World War One as well. They just managed to link it to Hitler and how much of a bastard he was every two seconds.

On the bright side, I suppose Kam can't claim that the British system has indoctrinated me against Communism

Oh, we had a single lesson on the Cold War with a cover a little while back. Tried to teach us that Communism was a one-party totalitarian dictatorial system. Wasn't having any of it, especially not from a cover. Not sure she was expecting backchat from a cocky Glaswegian Socialist telling her the whole lesson was built on bullshit.

In five years at my school, the first time they mentioned Communism was when we learnt about the Spartacist revolt in the Weimar Republic last week. And guess what ?? They still linked it to Hitler. It's part of the reason I'm not taking History at A Level; I'll learn more researching it myself, and French will be more useful to my future career.

You managed to do five years of Nazi Germany orientated history without mentioning the Soviet Union's (supposed) politics?

Nonetheless, if you're going to a sixth form college (as opposed to a secondary sixth-form) they usually have more specific history courses from ancient history to 21st century to pick from. Fair enough if you think French will be more useful though - What do you plan on doing?

We did a lesson on the Treaty of Versailles where the Bolshevik Revolution was mentioned, but besides that, it's been mostly Nazis and slavery.

I'm looking to become a sports journalist; a lot of the Russell Group unis want a French A Level to get onto an English degree, so it'll help, yeah.

Since it has been 4 days Since I last posted on here (3 day NSG Senate suspension + 1 day to make sure), I have decided to fix my RPing by doing the following actions:
1. Creating a thread that I shall use in the NSG Senate to discuss IC actions and for retcon/action discussion purposes, as to prevent GM, and so that I could reference back to it.
2. I will place people whom purposefully GM against me onto my post ignore list, as to prevent me from being tempted to GM.

Dunno why, but your school sounds really old fashioned to me...

Seems a bit weird to ask for French for an English degree, but I guess it makes sense - If you can learn one language, you can learn another or you can learn your own really well.

Or, we could just ban you. Problem solved.

Totally sober, actually! All the pictures were from before we started drinking.

I'm just not the most photogenic person in the world usually. Lol

SO I have just receve a telegram from drago saying I godmoded with the ban of his corporation and that he is ignoring me.
So a peace of friendly advice to him. The company IS SUSPENDED and no attempt on your side will fix that. The action is taken full under my occupation of minister of finance and due to your mistakes. It is not our job to tell you how you may end punished it is your job to do that. As such the decision stands. And you have no power in this RP to decide who godmod and who does not. Also you can not decide what is canon and what is not drago. That rests solely in the hands of the admins that have confirmed my action as legitimate.
