WW1 Origins?

I think Blackadder did a fairly good job of explaining it.

Zephos, do you think the Crimean War had any influence on the WII origin?

You mean WW1 right?

Anything involving the Eastern Question was a step on the road to Franz Ferdinand getting shot.

It's funny how people get on the case of non-European countries for suffering and fighting over post-colonial problems when Europe's very own Balkans even to this goddamn day are still feeling the after effects of post-colonial messes from when Turkey owned them some 100-150 or so years ago.

Yes, I meant WWI
We had a debate in history class about the causes of WWI, and I was stuck withe argument that "WWI was caused primarily by Britain"

I just pulled some shit out of my ass; I said Britain's defeat of Russia caused Russia to stir up trouble in the Balkans, hoping to get access to a warm water port. But ya, I suppose that would just be a step on the road to Franz Ferdinand getting shot.

On Topic:

Let's talk television.

The 70's boasted some rather awesome and funny television shows.

Here are a few I enjoy seeing from this decade.

-All in the Family
-Sanford N' Son
-The Jeffersons
-Good Times
-SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE!!!!

The 70s also spawned an awesome decade for Doctor Who, of which I am a fan.

[Freddy G.]

-Sanford N' Son

Yeah, Sanford and Son's a favorite of mine. I used to sit and watch it with my dad whenever it was on.

The 70's is also this.

I never had the opportunity to watch the originals unmodified in a theater. It must have been something with the huge crowd.

as far as films go, the 70s featured the original star wars trilogy, the first two Godfather films, the first Star Trek movie (1979), Animal House, and a number of other greats.

it did come across as a bit uppity didn't it? my bad

[JERK DISEASE]

Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Return of the Jedi (1983)

[I survived the buster call]

Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Return of the Jedi (1983)

Yes indeed, that is when they came out. And it was, indeed, awesome to be there in the theatre with surround sound making each battle seem as if you were right in the middle of it. By the time the third one was released, the lines were forming by 3am for the first showing at 10am (no advance ticket sales that I knew of then--if you didn't sit out there for hours in line, you were probably out of luck for the first week or so). Good times, good times.

[Don Quichotte De Flamingo]

Iam actually glad some guys actually don`t know when the first star wars movies were published.
