history repeats itself

do you believe that sooner or later history will repeat itself again? that some time in the future there will be another holocaust, or another world war?

and probably most dramatic, another fall of a great empire?

i think thats a generalization that tends to be true in cases, but that doesn't connotate that it will always be true, and it won't. Just because "history repeats itself" doesn't mean it will is what i mean.

yes it will.

case and point: Napolean's invasion of Russia compared to Hitler's invasion of Russia. Exactly the same- time, circumstances, and outcomes.

i'm thinking..... yes
ppl will always be ignorant and won't learn from the past....

so it'll just happen again.... and again... because people are stupid...haha.... that's just it... they only care about themselves and they don't care about what's going on else where... so while all this "history repeats" people don't give a damn.... like hitler... while he was doing his thing in europe do you think the US cared? no they just wanted to avoid it and pretend it wasn't happening... they didn't want to get involved.... and right now... the gov is fawking up everything in the middle east.... something is going to repeat itself soon....


and did you know..... that prez bush DID get some type of warning that there was going to be a terrorist thing? he just "didn't look into it"...... right..... just say you didn't give a fawk you bastard....

oops sorry.... -_-.....i'm really really angry at bush.....

this is partly true, because we never learn from the past. People don't change their ways, and we continue to do many irrational things.
