Not a complete liar. He promised to shut down the National Bank I believe he followed through with that promise. He swore to make the British pay for what they did to his family I believe he followed through on that too. He promised the first to start shooting if his troops tried to go back to Tennessee and I'm damn sure he would have followed through iwth that too.JJM wrote:I know my facts very well and I know that Andrew Jackson was a complete liar.

Not everyone's a liar but plenty lie to get what they think needs to be done (and sometimes jsut what they want done to help themselves) across.JJM wrote:Who told you bull.

Multiplatinum records doesn't justify a band being good. Finding popularity by means of making bad music that just so happens to fill the pleasure center of the people who just want to be entertained and don't care about any real depth to the music in anyway doesn't make them a good band.2dimes wrote:Dear Kiss haters ; I'm interested in your multiplatinum recordings.

Wow. Really? So I don't like Kiss does that mean I don't like AC/DC? The Who? Led Zep? The Rolling Stones? Or does it mean that these bands and many others don't count as rock music?2dimes wrote:Oh, really?

Regardless of what you think about Gene & Paul or even Ace. If you don't like the songs you don't like rock music in my opinion.

JJM, historians are taught to see history in "gray" rather then "black and white" as many historical events had good and bad effects, as well as the people who caused those events. Just like Andrew Jackson. Yes, he did betray his native allies and force them out of their homes and historians do not excuse that, but there is always a flip side to something or someone and Jackson is no exception. He is the reason that the British were driven off for the final time in the War of 1812 (the Battle of New Orleans), and also made it possible for the common man (oh, like you and me and most everyone else) to vote, rather then being limited to white, christian, landowners. Historians see the give AND the take, not just one over the other. Historians make it their life's work to understand history for a reason, so that pseudo historians and alternate historians are not taken seriously by most people.JJM wrote:What do historians know that we don't.

Dude, you are clueless. How do you think they get the info to write those books? A book just doesn't magically appear for them to research from. Historians have to spend thousands of hours poring over obscure papers and diaries or anything to piece together what was happening in whatever time period they are studying. Get a clue.JJM wrote:A historian studies something by reading books about it and then they right there own book. We read it but just don't write a book about it.2dimes wrote:They wrote those resources. You write in here.JJM wrote: What information do they have access to that we don't? none.
