Oh no....getting owned in class

Why did RN560 become RN/IR560, and why is it more like IR560 with some RN !?
I forget...am I the only one in there who is not an International Relations major/minor?
If not, then am I the only one who isn't either an IR or Religion major/minor?

3 hour discussion is great.
The professor is excellent. Reminds me of Prof. Kirkpatrick.
Discussion discussion...no right no wrong...the liberal way!...the "educated elite" way? awsum.
Except that everyone's citing history from Iran, Russia, Europe, America, and the West. The West? Fuck the west. It's getting boring. Not that I wanna talk about the East cause that just seems pretentious. I guess the way world history has it, you can't avoid the West as the major topic. It would be nice to throw in modern issues that aren't directly relevant to the United States once in a while. How about Tibet? Religion...sure, Buddhism and the crazy Dalai Lama dog. Ethnicity...isn't that one of the oil cans lit on fire in an attempt to claim difference from China? Nationalism...exactly. But is that "nation" an illusion? Tibet just interests me more because it's closer to Singapore and closer to China which means somewhat closer to the Chinese race.

What i'm interested in will not be touched upon for sure. The nationalism of Japan. And even the rising narcissism of Korea. Singapore doesn't have this problem. Not yet at least. We just don't have the history or the trophies to back it up. Why were Chinese people susceptible to holding China as the motherland? Nowadays I don't know if it still holds true because I know most Chinese Singaporeans don't look kindly upon the adjective "China".

Anyhow, we don't have to talk about those. Except that I need some history lessons and backup if I'm gonna be active in that 3 hour weekly discussion with all those really smart and articulate people and that Harvard professor.

Sorry to that jap guy in class. I didn't know you were there. Had I known, I would not have introduced myself the way I did. I mean no animosity toward you. I just want to know if Romeo and Juliet were heroes who bridged the gap between a feud or if they were just irresponsible.
