Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I replied to this while cooking and I missed half of what you said🤦🏻♀️ Yes history gets erased on purpose and by natural means. The county I live in used to be one big county now it’s split into three counties. The old courthouse of the original county burned in 1920’s. Records were lost and it’s not good when searching genealogy. My husband’s can’t get his grandfather’s military records because the building where they were kept burned down. He was trying to get his metals to display with his flag.
I was a terrible student with the exception of history in high school. I made straight A’s and the rest were C,D & F. I just didn’t care. I wish I hadn’t cheated in English class in high school. I had an awesome smart teacher, she was so old she taught my mom. Her being old and not watching us allowed us to cheat. Every week for the vocabulary test each of us had our notebooks open on the floor. If you didn’t get a 100 it was your own fault.
I watch a lot of videos on history, archaeology and architecture ancient civilizations. We can learn so much about the past this way. Thankfully those doing the videos care about history and don’t try to alter it.
This is a great channel if you like Biblical archeology.
