doctone; You say "history teaches nothing". What an absolutely imbecilic statement. History teaches everything. That's the problem with our society. We keep repeating the same stupid mistakes over and over. As George Santayana said: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
Disclaimer: It occurred to me that maybe what you really meant was History teaches nothing because we refuse to learn from it. If that's the case you should be clearer in your statements.
One fact in the world is that Oslo is in Norway, not Italy... =)

Hi there,
Thank for a kind lesson.
At least I don't think that I've refused to learn anything from history...
Though I speak as Sting fan..
I was originally a Sting fan but didn't know about The Police well,
So I went back history of Sting and have learnt many things though it..
Though till then I wasn't interested in even Japan,
but It gave me the hint of attending to the world.
That's Sting for me.
