<p>Crazy, you should no better the moment we gave women the right to vote was a good one! kekekekekeke</p>
<p>I saw this skit on the man show where they were to the beachwalk that was heavily populated with women and set up a table that had a big sign "IF YOU WANT TO END SUFFRAGE FOR WOMEN, SIGN HERE." There were all these women that thought suffrage was a bad thing, so they all signed.</p>
<p>i put the creation of Microsoft...its more recent</p>
<p>the 13th amendment and how it opened the door for many other civil liberties (women's vote, equality for african americans, etc) that have shaped our country.</p>
<p>really i'm surprised more people didn't do that; i thought that i was being unoriginal but honest.</p>
<p>Advice:
Don't put something random that doesn't correlate with you.</p>
<p>I put September 11th, cuz' it made my father's bussiness go bankrupt, and I moved to California, and lived in poverty. </p>
<p>Just put something realistic.</p>
<p>memz, i did the 13th amendment too.</p>
<p>The most important moment in history is when the Mongols reopened the Silk Road. Eastern inventions such as paper production, and gunpowder, which facilitated the integration of territorial states, allowed Europe to come out of the Dark Ages and started an era of Western dominance.</p>
<p>The evolution of Aristotle's ideas and its influence on Western philosophy and politics and everything.</p>
<p>What distinguishes Aristotle's importance from the Mongols's?
NOTHING. They are both equally important.
Therefore, I suggest you choose a moment in history that affected YOU.
Then no one could argue against its validity.</p>
<p>Well, there is the fact that aristotle has had more of an effect on the world than the mongol's ideas have. I don't think they're going to look at these answers with the Nietzche-like philosophy that you seem to have.</p>
<p>The non-passage of the equal rights amendment. Abolish Title IX and bring back the poll tax! Noone gives a flying **** about women's field hockey.</p>
<p>Good point, TheStonedPandas.
You don't "THINK" they have the Nietzche-like philosophy.
I guess I'm arguing something that has no answer, so why argue?
Man...you've convinced me that this is stupid StonedPanda...thnx, i'm out of here.</p>
<p>btw. It'd be great if you mail me some info on Nietzche...i dont' know much about him except that he said God is Dead. That's a pretty catchy line.</p>
<p>Yeah, it is a catchy line.</p>
<p>I should have probably been more clear, oky. Nietzche would argue that aristotlian and mongolian philosophy are equally as important to the world, because, well, they're equally unimportant. Nietzche argued that mankind should look beyond a universal set of morals, because a universal set of morals most likely don't exist. </p>
<p>Your "God is dead" quote is probably misunderstood by most. Here's what wikipedia says about it, "Nietzsche is also well-known for the statement "God is dead." While in popular belief it is Nietzsche himself who blatantly made this declaration, it was actually placed into the mouth of a character, a "madman," in The Gay Science, and later was proclaimed by Nietzsche's Zarathustra. This largely misunderstood statement does not proclaim a physical death, but a natural end to the belief in God being the foundation of western cosmology. It is more of an observation than a declaration. Nietzsche believed this "death" would eventually undermine the foundations of morality and lead to moral relativism and nihilism. To avoid this, he believed in re-evaluating the foundations of morality and placing them on a natural foundation." </p>

<p>thanks so much, i'll look into that.</p>
<p>"Nietzche is dead" -- God</p>
<p>HAHA...that's funny
But you shouldn't say that so blatantly when you don't know what's true.
Unless you are a philosophy + religion expert, some people will feel resentment.
I'm reading Nietzche's Zarathustra story right now...and it's actually quite interesting.
You should try read it too.</p>
<p>Two questions... how long were these answers and were they on seperate pages or right on the application?</p>
<p>Uhh like 300 characters was the limit</p>
<p>Yeah, you can't go one character over 300.</p>
<p>Well thats online with the paper one you could theoretically attach like 9 pages... but there are only three lines there. Make it short and sweet, its not really supposed to be an essay.</p>
<p>I put fall of the Roman Empire because it brought about the darkest ages in human history, and because parallels can be made between the empire
and others in western civilization(like America!)</p>
