A.D. 2015: RicOlie2 suddenly realizes how long it's been since he last updated this thread.

LOL, I stopped after awhile because there was almost no interest in this thread and I things were getting busy.

I'm interested! If this thread didn't exist then I would have created my own. Not necessarily about specific events tied to the date, but a history discussion thread nonetheless.

Well, it's nice to have someone taking interest for a change. Of course, I've had several people pop by, but none have really been interested in a real conversation about the history.

I only began to take a serious interest in history a couple years ago, having been failed entirely by the public school system in that regard, and did an overview of world history during my two years of homeschooling.

hmm, I didn't think you'd be a in a public school or be homeschooled. I assumed you being a Catholic, would be going to a Catholic school.

Actually, I did go to a Catholic school for two and a half years, but the Catholic schools were the public schools in the city I was in, up until a couple years ago. I have homeschooled for a total of six years, for various reasons, but it's fairly common for Christians who are serious about their religion, being that the Catholic schools are only superficially so most of the time. I also lived in a tiny village for the first ten years of my life, and regular school wasn't easily accessible (and we knew/were related to the people running the homeschooling organization in the area).

Yeah, it's like that a lot of times in the states too. Christian schools (probably catholic schools too, I'm not sure) are rarely very immersed in the religion other than a Bible class. Usually christian families homeschool or just send their kids to public school; there are a few exceptions of course but that has been my experience for the most part.
