A journal is a good idea. I started one when I was taking my first class. But it's “multi” subject. I write ideas or theses for future essays and just random thoughts.
Didn't learn... doomed to repeat.
Except for the unprecedented U.S. military presence in the Middle East to change the dynamic.Hey Uncle Bob, your cousin is even calling you an infidel now.
"We're cousins, everybody kicks us around, so let's fight, each other!"
So let's learn from history, knock it off, and look ahead.
That's a good point. However (or if) I'm going to use this method ,I need to be real careful.Now here's another one for you.How do you properly cite a published Army field manual? I can't find any information at all on this. I'm assuming it's one of these 3 ways:U.S Army Field Manual No. 3-24, The University of Chicago Press, 2007 or United States Dept of the Army, U.S Army Field Manual No. 3-24, The University of Chicago Press, 2007 orUnited States Dept of the Army, U.S Army Field Manual No. 3-24, The U.S. Army and Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual, The University of Chicago Press, 2007 On that third one, that's the actual title of the book I have (and am using). I also imagine I don't need to mention any of the authors?
4. Web discussion forum posting To document a posting to a Web discussion forum, provide the following information: Author's name Title of posting, in quotation marks Phrase online posting Date of posting Name of forum Date of access URL, in angle brackets Colleen. "Climbing Questions." Online posting. 20 Mar. 1999. Climbing Forum. 27 May 1999 . http://www.bedfordstmartins.com/online/cite5.htmlAccording to this, it looks like you have to cite the message board where the quote comes from and the poster's name (but not poster's real name).
I'm an Iraqi nationalist who wants my country to succeed, you're an insurgent who is trying to destroy my and your country by fighting those who are helping us rebuild as well as fighting those from your own nation who are helping rebuild. Therefore, you are not a patriot, you are a terrorist. I'm the real patriot.
PS As far as the Middle East: the clue is this; "Bob's your uncle!"
This 'clue' is going to drive me crazy all weekend.
Here's what I'm trying to say. What if all your history education comes from only Leftist professors or vice versa? It should be presented from both “sides”, that way the student can decide for himself and be able to make his own conclusions.
Well, like I said, I wouldn't use it often and for the reasons you mentioned. If I didn't know somebody well enough, I wouldn't do it at all. If I did do this, I would take it further with more reliable (to everyone) sources to try and prove it.
Earlier you said “set aside knowledge”. I don't think, even for someone who has limited knowledge of the era, they would think that Hitler wasn't evil, so if you go to study Nazi history that's different than studying Islamic history (or religion). If someone has the preconcieved idea that all Islam and Muslims are evil, then how can he learn it without showing bias?Just let the facts speak for themselves instead of making the facts justify what you previously thought about a topic.I see a danger of picking and choosing to justify what you think instead of what actually is.And what about those who think Israel can do no wrong?
I'm going by a “How to cite” web reading assignment.I think the idea behind using the screenname is if someone wants to check the source. They'll be looking for his real name, and will scratch their heads saying "Well, I don't see that name, but someone called Skydiver said the exact same thing."
Ah. But if I am citing a post from a forum, I must use the poster's screenname. I was thinking that myself, should I use his real name and rank or his screenname? I think the correct way is to use the screenname.
The bar is placed only over the numerals you want to multiply. And no space. Now if Final Jeopardy asks you about Babylonian numerals? The answer, Alex, is if a ' has a space between it and the next digit, that means ' = 60. If not, it equals one (or ten..I forgot)
I agree. But in SKY's case, it is a trusted source for the writer. Not planning on doing this often, just occasionally and for a purpose.For instance:Counterinsurgency is blah, blah, blah. A Soldier who is trained and experienced in counterinsurgency said he used to ""1What you say about finding his source, I'd rather do anyway. But what if I just wanted to insert his opinion based on his experience....you know what I mean?
