Textbooks are definitely skewed. There are always at least two sides to any conflict. No one will ever get the "truth" unless they do their own research and draw their own conclusions.

I'd be willing to bet some parts of the bible have been revised too. I'm a devout Christian but I'd bet some major ideas in the bible have been added or deleted over time.
How is that possible? God wrote that motherfricker as a strict way to live by. How else would morality be instilled in human beings? Are you saying that it's nothing but a piece of fabricated literature that human beings created?

The good guys always win the wars. You know why?? Because they are the ones who write the history books.

Spot on? Or paranoid hippie bs?
I'm pretty sure this is how most nations\civilizations handled their business....Utopia does not exist.
