    I think I see what some of you were talking about with Molly Bloom. I've noticed he just brings up relatively obscure factoids with marginal relevance. Reminds me of being a little kid and knowing about something obscure and trying to bring it up in class though it has only the slightest connection to the topic at hand, just to make myself look smart.


    And before gribbler or someone says 'Everyone knows about the Zanj revolt'... yes, a 9th century revolt in the Abbasid caliphate is not obscure.
    You're wrong, it actually is obscure because Arabs really aren't historically important.

      • Srsly, everything is relative and I'm not an Arab, so why should I know anything about them?

          Thanks for proving my point. I thought for sure you would be an ******* and say everyone knows about the Zanj revolt but you recognize that something like that doesn't get taught in American schools.

          I think Molly Bloom is trying to be a show-off with his trivia.

            Are you trying to prove that British schools are superior or something...?

            • If they are teaching the Zanj revolt instead of more relevant history, I would say they are inferior.

                Also, does it worry you that you're acting like one of those "bucket crabs" you were talking about a few months ago when you try to criticize someone else for demonstrating knowledge...?

                  It's demonstrating knowledge for no other reason than to show off as far as I can tell. Molly Bloom seems to do this. It's a personality flaw.

                  • Well at least you didn't try to bite off my head in that other thread where I made a reference to that Crassus guy. I guess it was because he was white and therefore knowing about him is important.

                          • Oh I see. Crassus was actually relevant to that thread! Since it was literally about paying to have fires put out. The Zanj revolt has nothing to do with a criticism of British colonialism!

                            • I mean really... I say basically that British colonialism was ****ed up... how is Molly's response basically "ZOMFG! But the Zanj Revolt!"?

                                British colonialism didn't have anything to do with the British being ugly. Gee, thanks for bringing up irrelevant factoids
