The irony is that’s true. Also while simultaneously everyone crowing “this isn’t reddit”. Which it basically is.

If you want a laugh try criticising the “new Microsoft” on there.

...as to the topic of this thread, here's a novel idea: grow up and stop looking for reasons to be offended. I swear people that complain the loudest about this stuff must have literally nothing better to do with their life. If they actually directed that same energy to being productive members of society, who knows what they could accomplish?  :popcorn:

If your schoolmasters were anything like mine the suspicion was that most of them came from, and still were in, the 18th Century - apart from the physics master with the alembic muttering to himself in Enochian, him we placed in the 17th century at the very latest.

I just didn't take history up to O-level. The 4th and 5th years who took O-level did 20th century history, but I have no idea what the content of their course was.
