Babe Didrikson?

The first female golf celebrity.

I'm sure her husband would have loved to meet one of these guys in a dark alley.

Not my fault most under 40 are morons.

Your fault you make idiotic, categorical statements you can't possibly support.

 

[Unkotare]

Yet most kids today have no clue about the Civil War.

More categorical statements you can't support.

What he means is that today's kids don't "realize" the Civil War was not fought over slavery.

Because it's not my first rodeo. Place your bets. I placed mine.

Have you attempted to have an honest conversation with him? I have.

Okay.

Hey Weatherman2020 ... children learn about the civil war in Middle school and high school. They generally understand that the South seceded to keep slavery, and that the Confederacy were traitors who were fighting against the United States Army.

Which is correct. Other questionable theories might be raised at the college level. Sounds like YOU would want to impose YOUR personal opinions on students. Stop trying to derail the thread.

No it doesn't. Those aren't opinions. Swing and a miss.

Someone just ate too many Contrarian Flakes for breakfast.

Now stand back and watch him prove me correct.

 

[Unkotare]

.... Those aren't opinions. ...

That's exactly what they are. If you would try to impose your opinions on students, don't try to be a teacher.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

That's exactly what they are.

Start a new thread to repeat your opinions yet again. Now you're just trolling.

Start a new thread to repeat your opinions yet again. Now you're just trolling.

By stating the most basic facts about the civil war.

Enjoy being on your island. You sound like a freak.

You were trolling and looking for a fight. And you picked the dumbest one possible.

Nice work.

...

Your oddly racial opinions about the war. Different topic. Go start a new thread, troll.

 

[rightwinger]

Your oddly racial opinions about the war. Different topic. Go start a new thread, troll.

You don’t think the Civil War was based on race?

And you claim to be a teacher?

 

[Unkotare]

You don’t think the Civil War was based on race?

...

It surely was. Don’t just lash out blindly by force of habit, and don’t encourage the troll to derail the thread.
