There is about 5%% kids in my school that are from the U.S, 85% that are from Russia, and 10% that are from somewhere else. But today at lunch, me and two kids from the U.S were sitting down talking about Sadam getting hung and all, and then got into a deep conversation. Accually, one of the kids, Jack, snuck out his cell phone from his pocket and recorded our conversation. I will quote the entire thing (P.S: Chris is the other American kid):

Chris: You know, the U.S never really had to get into WWII with the Germans.

Me: Wait, what you mean?

Chris: Well, I mean, it was Germany's own civial war.

Jack: Dude, it wasn't a civial war!

Me: Yeah, he's {right}, it could be called more of a terrorist attack than a civial war.

Chris: When the U.S had it's Civial War with the North and South, did Spain or France come down to stop-

Me: France helped.

Chris: But just the North, right?

Jack: Mmhm.

Chris: But they only aided the North, they didn't try to stop the war.

Jack: True.

Chris: So, the U.S could have just held back and let Germany handle it's own problems.

Me: Well... Hitler would have taken over most of Europe, and Russia too, and then what would {he} do? Just say "That was fun, I'm done now". Hell no-

Jack: Yeah, the guy would have probably taken over the whole middle east like Egypt and $#@! (Censored for those kittle kiddies) and then moved on to the U.S, and then it'd be to late. It's be an entire continet, and ten times the number of people and armies and $#@! and, like, kill the U.S.

Chirs: Europe could have held him off. You-

Me: Dude, the guy took over Egypt, Germany, and Italy, and invaded France and Turkey. The guy was everywhere. If he could do that much in less then 10 years, how much could he have done in 15 without the U.S getting involved.

Chris: It was like Vietnam, the U.S didn't have to {get} involved.

Me: Vietnam was pointless I agree with you there.

Jack: Same here.

Chirs: Why did Russia go to war with the U.S during the cold war?

Me: Oh my God, Russia never went to war with the U.S. It was because that Russia hated the U.S and Cuba was an allie of Russia. And Cuba is right below Florida, so it would have been an easy attack.

Jack: But the things smaller than Germany, how could it attack big 'ol America?

Me: Russia could use it as like a camp or airfield or something to land it's planes and then attack from there. Like how the U.S landed some of it's bombers to refule in France during world war II.

Chris: All I'm saying is-

Jack: All you're saying is that you let Hitler kill millions of jews, take over an entire conteint, a dozen countries, kill millions of innocent people, make a giant empire for himself and attack America.

Me: Right I mean- {Lunch bell rings}

The lunch bell rung before we could finish, but it did go on for quite a while, and go on for sometime. I think we were all right. Even though I might of said Chris was wrong at times, he did provide evidence and defend his reasons, so he was right. If you said two plus two was nine and said nothing more but "it just is" you'd be 100% wrong. However, if you said two plus two was nine, and provided some reasons why, and gave evidence of why two plus two would be nine, then you'd be 100% right, just because you gave a good enough defense. Though, I'm sure your math teacher would tell you otherwise.
