You'd be suprised. most of the time, only the girls get A's. In my school there is a guy who is realated to the royal family, he's the dumbest person I ever met, he always gets an F
Once, there was a computer exam and there's was a question where he had to draw a star network and a bus network, he drew a bus and a star :rofl2:
It makes laugh, just thinking about it.

yeah but I'm not interested in stuff like economics and business, how can I be interested?

:wth: i was talking about history, not economics or business. anyway seems like you should be more interested of those things, because as it seems to me, your wasting too much time on your depression and you should think more happy thoughts!

ok, now I'm thinking about that blow job I got last week
OP
i read the jan/feb 2006 edition of financial affairs some time back and it had an article about stalin and how the russian youth of today looks upon him positivley.
ive never figured out why thats so.either they dont know enough about their history or stalin is still regarded as something along the lines of a war hero amongst the russian youth.they wrote about how even the elders of today are 'scared' to speak wrongly of Stalin so they tell their kids sugar coated stories about him.Plus Putin has banned Stalin being discussed in the history books in educational institutes too.
ive always thought hitler was more fearsome than Stalin.but the same scared approach concerning topics related to the Nazi rule doesnt exist in germany,or does it?i know that the Nazi Salute is banned in Germany though.

That comparison doesn't go, I'm afraid.
Germany is the best example this world has to offer on 'how to deal with a national trauma'. They teach their youth about the second World War in schools, how Hitler came to power, how he deceived the German population and how he ended up leading one of the most deadly regimes in history. The ban that exists in (neo-)nazism in Germany might come across as a panic law derived from fear, but that's not true. It's just one of a set of many means the Germans have in their modern Federal Republic to ensure history doesn't repeat itself. The largest means of this strategy is, quite simply; education.
In Russia, education on Stalin doesn't exist (or not in so many words anyway). Communism (closely related to Stalin's regime even after he was gone) only ended just over a decade ago. Up until 1990, a Russian citizen could be arrested for saying one single bad word about the government, the country or his comrades. People my age (I'm 22) have experienced this and grew up in a world where they had two choices: 1) shut up, or 2) be arrested, possibly executed. Where the Germans have had over 60 years to deal with their trauma, the Russians have only just begun.
Plus, in Russia, there is the additional double-face of Stalin. Yes, he was a tiran. But on the other hand: it was Stalin who saved the Soviet Union from the nazis. Which one is worse? At least Stalin wasn't a foreign evil threat. The Russians never understood the nazis, at least Stalin was a product of their own culture. The Russian situation is arguably much more complex, but even if you disagree on that point: you cannot deny that the Russians haven't had nearly as much time to 'get over it' as the Germans have.
