Re: 100 Things Your Kids May Never Know About
I'm not shocked. Last year I was sitting in an American History class, and when I said Ronald Reagan, across the room, the kids were like "who?"
My jaw hit the floor.
THAT is TERRIFYING!!!
Welcone to the voters of tomorrow, for whom history with all its complexities and lessons simply DOES NOT EXIST.

Those kids of which, who's parents were the same dumbasses out at these townhall meetings and tea parties, calling Obama a socialist, and when asked, they couldn't even tell you what the definition of a socialist is.
Kids are never going to learn, unless it starts at home.
And like the old cliche says, those who forget history are destined to repeat it.

That. ^
Plus, I confess I can't name EVERY Prez of the US, even the UK's PMs, but Ronnie?!
Have these kids no MOVIES?! 
I just HOPE there's a hundred things MY kids never know about me (have none as yet) - Maguire backs away from keyboard, looks into that History deletion software...

Re: 100 Things Your Kids May Never Know About
I'm a kid and I've never heard the term "sext". Then again none of my friends are whores.
These are facts.
Same with me. I know of the term but I've never known anyone who has or even allegedly has. I've only seen it on the news, which is something you should never trust.
Forgetting Reagan is sad, but there are many more important Presidents in history who are acceptably forgotten. And his time isn't as recent as people tend to think. We're talking about a generation (mine) that grew up without the Cold War. Not surprising that they could be unaware of a President whose work was so largely within that ancient rivalry between the US and the USSR. I didn't even know the term Soviet Union until I was 13 or 14.
