Fair enough Christine.... I will do some research. Kodiak, you are right, I see where it could have been taken that way, and I will stand corrected. You guys know that iwill swallow pride in a heart beat when Im wrong, I may be wrong for this thought, but it is my thought, I choose not to shoot a giraffe, because I see no need for me to do it, doesn't appeal to me, and yes I think it is silly, that will not change, but if someone does decide to shoot one go ahead, it was never my intention to try and convince them other wise. Am I not allowed to think it's strange to shoot a giraffe? What, people don't think Im crazy for teaching high schoolhistory?? Yeh right, most people tell me Im crazy for it!! Maybe I am, but just like the guy who shoots the giraffe...somebody has to do it....

Nodog, I know exactly just that, they won't get a dime, my point is they very well may not see it either way, and Im not sure anyone really cares. Except for them. Im sorry that this thread turned into this in a way, but in a way it is good dialogue for many of us. I said from the start that I was ignorant to it for the most part and that I wanted to know what compelled people to shoot giraffes. Ok, maybe I could have said it a different way, but I was shocked to see it on tv honestly. As far as black Africans and their relations with white Afrikaans, yes Afrikaans is the correct spelling for the whites Im speaking of. If you look at the history of colonization in Africa as a whole, it was quite lop-sided. In favor of the Europeans. To the Europeans, African history starts with them, when they came to colonize. Read any book by a European historian on Africa and you will see the slant. As far as land being taken back from the whites, well, who's was it start with? Let's remember that apartheid was only dismantled in the 1990's and these people have become dependent upon a system that has completely failed them. Remember the plight of the natives in this country, colonization destroyed their lifestyle. Im not saying that the whites in Africa should have their land taken back, but then again, it was taken from them, put yourself in their shoes, and in the shoes of the Native Americans here, couldn't blame them if they wanted it back either....
Going political Bro, bad move when your facts are wrong. The squatters in South Africa have ruined the farm land. You can argue all day about whether they (the white folk) deserved it. Without the diamond mines, it'd be like the rest of the countries on that continent. Me? My Irish a$$ ain't apologizing for anything my ancestors did. Using modern day "morals" to judge actions of those in the past is just plain wrong, and irresponsible. You started this post by questioning someone's hunting. Who cares? They are animals. Different folks like hunting different critters.Whatever lites your wick.

I don`t think you are crazy at all for being a teacher. And History class was one of my favorites many years ago........

I don`t think you are crazy, but I do think our education system should be privatized.
