Oh, new rant: We're currently covering the Cold War in History class at the moment, but the whole concept is being dumbed down by the teacher. Sure, it's difficult to go through just under 50 years' history in a dozen lessons, but she's giving us the entire "US was good, Soviets were bad" PC crap. I'm really interested in the sheer complexity of the entire saga, so it pains me to see my class being given what is effectively the Dummies' Guide to the Cold War. :(

I'm not surprised. :mrgreen:

There're also crazy heads who thinks opposite, but not in my school or university...

I with my class were lucky with our teacher.
He talked about history with small part of humor, but with full analysis.

Your teachers are wrong.

We had our second witch hunt.
The Viet Nam War, which was an excuse to fight for the Cold War, since the U.S.S.R. was right behind north Viet Nam
We Used Agent Orange

Well, this one seems to be Impact typeface, which is a popular font for all sort of memes you see today. That font is fitting for those kind of content, not Mateusz's. His site is way too mysterious and weird to allow for such a poor choice of typeface to ruin that atmosphere.

Rant: Raining :( please stop, I want it to be warm...

Ranting: I need to get a new Microsoft Word.
I had none to work with since I had to upgrade to Windows 8.
Pain in the ass to download and buy.

Hopefully the checkout process works out alright.

Good thing about MS Word is that each version seems to get better, unlike Windows. Hope everything works out alright :)

If the color is a problem, resort to Open Office. Just be sure to feel bad about it.
