Provided thats all true, its pretty neat.

Yes, seen it before.

Now, it is imperative that when we study history we parallel it with today's events.

For instance, what events lead to WWI?

What events to WWII?

What were the events leading to the Great Depression?

If you start to study the past events and time lines you may not like what you find.

Actually it's wrong in couple of ways.  

I'm sure Kennedy was in Marilyn Monroe a week before.  ;D

Yes, Lincoln was shot watching a play in a theatre.  Oswald after shooting Kennedy ran into a movie theatre, where he was caught.

I'm not saying its inaccurate, but that one is a stretch.  He ran home, and ran in the theater after shooting a cop.

it's true

Read Snopes.  He debunks several of the statements and others are quite trivial.

ROMANS!

Nah Ronnie It was the guy with the umbrella in the Grassy Knoll

Multiculturalizm lead to the fall of The Roman empire, like it or not all great empires fall eventaully

Rome fell because of a ring, read your History or rent the movies, Duh

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."

The Multicutralism theroy has been shot down by most historic scholars. Many racist groups like to hold on to the theory.

Most inportant factor of the fall of the Roman Empire, was the long battles fought on many fronts, particuarly in Africa and the North Atlantic,

Secondly several crop failues and resulting disase that followed, due to a very prolonged drought.

Third: Other armies and nations had grown in Miitary might, weaponry and had learned how to counter attack Roman formations

I thought the fall of the roman empire was due to excessive civil war and barbarians took over and was too stupid to rule the roman empire and down the toliet it went.

Hey KW; That is a much more to the point way of what my fiorst point was, BARBARIANS: Well thats a Roman way of looking at it, The  Celtics in the North Aatlantic and the and Africans amd Moors  who were sacking Sicily and Southern Italy almost at will took a horrendous toll on the Romans
