This statement is true.One thing that is true is that evry couple of decades America has a depression and we're having one now. Something else that is true is the fact that there is always developing technology
I think this means that life might just always be repeating itself. Also that you need to learn from the past and what you have done.
the past is the past you can not change it! People need to move on. You can't change the past only make the future better.
There is no present or future, only the past, happening over and over again, now.
--------------------------------
I think it means life is repeating it'shelf because some of our past is coming back such as racism and wars.
I think that this quote is saying that the past repeats itself like people keep making the same mistakes and they keep tring to advoid or stop to prevent the mistake form happening again.
people keep making the same mistakes over and over again. History is repeating itself because people arent making any effort to try and change it. ALSO! people arent trying to make a change or difference they just roll with the flow & take things as they are...
I think that the quote means that some poeple dont learn from there mistakes and they keep making them over and over and they wont go any where in life.
I disagree because there is a present and future. But then i agree because what we did in the past, we could be doing it now or in the future.
I think that this quote means that the past repeats itself. The same things happen over and over again, theres always another protest or another war or something else that has to turn into something more than its supposed to. People are always fighting and they always have to fight to come to a compromise.
i disagree because there is a presnt and there is a future. your present is how and where your living now , and your future is how your goona live your live later on and you start planning for your future! But mostly i disagree and agree because you do things over and over again like get up and go to work or school so yeaa :]

i believe that this is all true and that sometimes the past always comes back to haunt us every now and then. The past always has ways to catching up with all of us if we let it.
I THINK THIS MEANS YOU FUTURE IS NEVER BROUGHT TO YOU,AND WHAT YOU ALREADY DID IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO LIVE UP TOO, AND IT CAN BE TRUE THAT THE PAST REPEATS ITSELF BECAUSE MOST OF THE THINGS WE DID IN THE PAST WE ARE STILL DOING IN THE FUTURE, LIKE WARS,TERRISM, AND ECT.IT SEEMS LIKE EVRYTHING IN THE PAST IS JUSS BEING PUSHED IN THE FUTURE ON THE NEW GENERATION!!
I think that statement means that even though were in present the past is only a second away since every second thats passed its consideered the past.
Also your past could follow you throughout your future affeting you in some way.
i think what this quote means is that some people in this world keep making the same mistakes because they dont care about the world. that is why i think that history keeps repeating itself all the time because people arent making an effort to try and change it.
I agree with this quote, because you cant let go of your past so basically their is no present or past.Thats my opinion.
I think it means that there is no future or present because the same things that happened in the past are happening right now.
i think this quote is trying to tell us that if u made a mistkae in the past with your life and you dont learn form your mistakes your always going to do what u did in the past over and over again.
The things you did on the past and the things are doing now affect the future.I think that the phrase means that you have to deal with your past errors so you can have a present and a future.
also that the past repeats itself many times
I think that this quote means that since there is no presantor future that only the past repeats itself each and every year. This is true because for example the U.S. has had a depression before where all costs have and now anouther one is happening. Also there is a war happening every 2 decades.
i agree with this statement beacause it seems like life is happening over and over all over the world but the only thing that is changing is the technology but other than that everything is still the same
I Think This All Depends On What Your Definition Of Past Is Like Five Minutes Ago Or A Day Ago But I Think There Is A Future And A Past And Present Because Now Is The Present Yesterday Was The Past And Tommorrow Is The Future.

I think it might say that it is just happening over and over because we are still learning from our mistakes we are still going through the same thing is just that we keep on learning and happening again so when it comes again we know what to do.We are just changing our ways because its from other people or we just know when we have to move on cause we are growing
I think it might say that it is just happening over and over because we are still learning from our mistakes we are still going through the same thing is just that we keep on learning and happening again so when it comes again we know what to do.We are just changing our ways because its from other people or we just know when we have to move on cause we are growing
i think this quote means that the past is the past and like the past things are happening now that happened in the past. like when america went through a depression and they didnt have jobs, food, or money. i think thats happining now with all of the bailouts of buisnesses. and also how the economy is loosing alot of money
Well, if everything repeats itself is that a sign that all of the choices we've made only lead up to a single conclusion? Even though we keep track of days, does that mean the errors we make are etched into our way of nature? In all this time will we forget the choices we've made will and history will repeat itself time after time.
i think this quote its true because some people dont learn from their mistakes and keep repeating them over and over again and it also means that some people are afraid to move on so they stick with the same thing and thats why the pass keeps staying with them.
i think it means that the world does not have a future beacuse the same stuff goes on in the world over and over again everday like killing,murder and other bad stuff that goes on in the world.
This statement mean`s that history happen`s over &`d over. Like when people make a mistake they never learn from it &`d do the samething over &`d over. Also that the world repeat`s itself over &`d over again.
Delany! :)

i think this quote means that the past doesnt matter because you can never go back in time to change what has happened already. you always have a chance to change the future which is what matters. the present and future time is what can affect and possibly change our iifes! WE ARE THE THE WORLD WE ARE THE FUTURE!!!
I think this quote is saying that history repeats itself... if you mess up once you'll mess up again and again. But once you've messed up you can not go back and change it. For Example: Wars. How many wars have we had? tooo many! and we're in one right now. We'll most likely be in one when this one is over. Also, Russia is in a war right now with Georgia and that is repetition... it might not be exactly the same, but it is in the sense that it's a mistake that goes round and round like a mobious strip.

yes i do agree with the statement because the past does happen over and over unless u find a way to change it. u need to learn from the past to make the future better. :)
i think this statement is saying that the past has a lot to do with the present and future and also the past makes you what you are today. this is what i think this prompt is trying to say
I think this means that you cant change the past or what you doing at the moment but you can forget about it and make the future much better.
I think that this quote is saying that.. the past repeats itself like people keep making the same mistakes in life because they dont learn from their mistakes and they try, and try to not to do the same mistake, but it still happens.
I do belive that the past is the past and that the future is now. And it is up to us to do our best to make the future a great one.
yea i agree past repeats its self because evey year theres something happening that happened in the past a new computer or somebody is making history
If that were true then we would never have any hightech stuff. We would not have a car, we would still be riding horses.
yes i do think the quote is rite because the past always stay with you
I disagree because there is a present and there is a future. Our present is how and where your living now , and your future is how your going to live your live later on and you start planning for your future. But mostly i disagree and agree because you do things over and over again like get up and go to work or school, and also repeat mistakes that you have made in the past.
iDiSAGREE AND AGREE. iDiSAGREE BECAUSE THERE iS A PAST ND A FUTURE. YOUR PRESENT iS WHAT YOUR LiViNG AT NOW ND YOUR FUTURE iS WHAT is GONNA COME TO YOU LATER iN LiFE. =]ND iAGREE BECAUSE SOMETHiNGS YOU DO OVER ND OVER. =]
-tracy =]
I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT IT MEANS BUT I DO BELIVE THERE IS A FUTURE AND PRESENTS.THERE IS A PASS TOO AND YOU COULD REMEMBER IT OVER AND OVER AS LONG AS YOU WANT BUT YOU HAVE TO MOVE ON.
I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT IT MEANS BUT I DO BELIVE THERE IS A FUTURE AND PRESENTS.THERE IS A PASS TOO AND YOU COULD REMEMBER IT OVER AND OVER AS LONG AS YOU WANT BUT YOU HAVE TO MOVE ON.
I agree on what this statement is saying because a while back there had acured a great depression in America and right now we are a few steps away from repeating it again,But I also think that the past has to do something with the present and the future.
There is no present or future, only the past, happening over and over again, now.
---------------------------------
I think it means certain stuff is repeating itself . Like racism , and different types of trends .
and im gone . !
miller(:
I think it means that history is repeating its self. With that said we can't be able to move forward. History does not live in the present only the past.
I think that if you did something in the past its goin to happen again because they just cant admit what they did and dont now how to let it go so its going to be repeading it self.
I think thats ture because some people dont learn from their mistakes and they just keep doing it.The past is the past so you can't change it so its up to you if you want your future to be be like your past.Thats why you should learn from your mistakes and try not to repeat them.So never think about the past and live your future better than your past.
I THINK THAT THIS QUOTE IS TRYING TO SAY IS THAT SOME PEOPLE FEEL THAT THIER NOT GOING FOWARD IN LIFE. THEY ARE STILL ON THE SAME DAY NOTHINGS CHANGING.
I disagree because there is a present because present is how we are living and what we are doing now and future is what we are going to do after the present i guess. its hard to explain but just know that there is a present and future.
i think that this quote is trying to say that people dont learn from their mistakes. that people keep on doing the same thing over and over again. i also think that people are afraid to move on. so they cant leave the past because they are doing the same thing.

i think that this means that if you do something bad or something good it will come back to you in a good way or in a bad way. an example is if you give someone that is less fortunate then you then you would get repaided back in a good way.
i think the statement is true beacuse nothing seems to change and everything seems to stay the same,it looks like everything just goes in circles and nothing seems change.!!!
I AGREE BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE JUST CANT LET GO OF WHAT THEY HAD MADE IN THE PAST THEY JUST LIVE THE SAME LIFE OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND AGAIN
ANOTHER REASON WHY I AGREE IS BECAUSE HISTORY IS REPEATING IT SELF FOR EXAMPLE WAR,RACIUM,PEOPLE GETTING IN THE WRONG CROWD AND ETC
I think this mean the past is the past you can not change it People need to move on. You can't change the past only make the future better.
Right now you are doing hard thihgs that you may pass and then its going to become your past. Then more hard things are going to come and that means that your past has not yet been gone.All we know is the past and that is all we are going to remember because we dont know what is going to happen in the future.
i think that this staement is trying to say is that we would never forget the past and we don't know the future or the present the only thing that we remember is the past and thats all we got to remimber.
THis statement is true because life repeats itself over and over again. ppl in the world try to change things but it doesnt work. ALSO the world doesnt change bcuz there are still crimes, and there is still depression and hurt.
I think it means people are repeating what happened in the past and are not moving on with they're lives.People are still having wars doing crime and other stuff like the stuff that happend in the past that was supposed to have been done.
i agree b/c i think it means they our life is repeating itslef and bringing the past back . for example like clothes from back in the days is coming back in style in the present so basically what people did in the past people are doing it again in the future.
nature loc .
well im kind of confused.but me thinks that this statement is true because everyday turns into the past and it just repeats itself everyday.
i disagree with this because the things you do in the past can affect how your future will be but in a good way! for example if you were to make a mistake in the past and it was a bad mistake you can just learn from your mistakes and have a better future.also if you know what you were doing in the past didnt work out right then change how you do things in future!

the past is repeting it self agian and again because the same things are going on what I mean is the world has to change.And look at the future.
I disagree because the things you do in the past will help you in the future. The things you do in the past prepare you for the future.
YEs i believe that there is no present or future there is only past because what you did in your past already happened and you can't change it but the present and future you don't know what will happen but you have some control over what you do in the present and in the future.
I disagree because i believe that there is a past, present and future. I think it means that you are people aren't learining from their mistakes and that they keep on doing them.
I THINK THE QUOTE IS TRUE BECAUSE IT IS SAYING HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF
OVER AND OVER AGAIN, AND I THINK IN
MOST ASPECTS THAT'S ACTUALLY TRUE.
this quote means that sometimes people make the same mistakes again again. the dont learn there lesson so they keep reapting them. But then i disagree becouse past is your past and you should live every day a new way so you can learn. The past was past and the present is your future.
i think that what happen in the past will accure in the present or in the future.
I DISAGREE BECAUSE THERE IS A PAST AND THAT IS YEARS AGO AND THE FUTURE MIGHT COME IN 30 YEARS AND THE PRESENT IS RIGHT NOW WHAT'S HAPPENING
I THINK THIS STATEMENT MEANS THAT U HAVE TO LERAN FROM THE PAST AND WHAT U HAVE DONE
I THINK THIS STATEMENT MEANS THAT U HAVE TO LERAN FROM THE PAST AND WHAT U HAVE DONE

There is no present or future, only the past, happening over and over again, now.
--------------------------------
This statement means kinda like what happend in the past is being repeated again like almost every day like for example racism and wars. some race still dont like each other and this is wars still happening in iraq. like it wont change because its all going to happen again like its supposed to be a generation they are keeping.
I dont find it cool because most people die from things like this.
But i mean thats the universe i or no one can change it.
xI AM AWESOME!!!!.....
I think this quote is saying that all the things that happened comes
back in your life over and over again!
This comment has been removed by the author.
LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, CLOTHES GO IN AND OUT OF STYLE THROUGH LIFE.
I think it means that the past is the past, you can't change it. Also it means that people keep doing the same mistakes over and over again and they can't change what they did wrong.
I think that this means that people won't learn from their mistakes and keep doin what they did wrong not trying to correct anymistakes.
The quote is saying that the present is neither here nor there, and the future isn't coming. Whatever has happened in the past is happening over and over again in time. There's a lot of things now that have happened before, or that have been happening this whole time; such as, The Great Depression, the war in Iraq, stereotypes, racism, human innovation, pollution, and many issues that just don't go away. It's like we're stuck in the same mess, and there's just no way out the way this world is going.
I think it means that everything happens more than once in a person's life. This means that the past is steadily repeating itself.
well this jornal is true because what happend back then is hapening right now and it is true we are like if we wear in the past
I think this means the past is the past no matter what you do it will never change you mess up once you will mess up twice and you will keep up messing up for the rest of your life.
well i think that if that was happing i will be so happy.
But what this quote is refering to is that we are not going forward that we are going backwards because we may do the same things we did 10 years ago instead of doing something different.
i think this statement is saying that what ever you did in the past you are going to live up to. unless you do something now to change it or make it better.
I think this means that sometimes when you try to look to the future, that it will only bring the past. That the past will always be with you. That the future and present are only made up by someone. But I think that the future does exist, aso the present.
This means the past of the bad is repeating itself because the we are the same that we were in the past and we arent gion anywhere unless we fix our mistakes.
I think this quote means that some of the things we did in the past are being done again. I think it`s saying like when you do good or bad things they`ll come back to you in a good or bad way.
i AGREE, THAT THE PAST IS RE-OCCURING. SOMETIMES PEOPLE DONT LEARN FROM THEIR MiSTAKES, THEY KEEP MAKiNG MISTAKES UNTiL THEY GET HURT OR SOMEONE HURTS THEM.
I DISAGREE, WITH "THERE iS NO PRESENT OR FUTURE". WE ARE LIVING IN THE PRESENT AND TOMMOROW IS OUR FUTURE.
WHATS THE PURPOSE OF SAYiNG "NOW" IF THEY SAY THAT THERE iS NO PRESENT.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANTEAGO! =D 9-25-08

I AGREE BECAUSE EVERY THING IS THE SAME RACISM EVERY ONE IS DOING THE SAME THINGS,DRESSING JUST HOW THEY DRESSED IN THE OLD DAYS MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES . ITS JUST A CYCLE OF EVENTS KEEP HAPPENING
I believe that this statement is true because it seems like every decade, the same things are happening. Even though people are discovering new things as in technology, many of the same things are happening in the world today. To me every year America has a Great Depression but so far i haven't seen one this year and i dont plan on it.
This statement is true because we live in the past not knowing what to expect in the future.
I think this is true because allot of times people only think about things that happend in the past. And dont think about the present or the future because they are to bussy thinking about something that already happend.
I think this is true because allot of times people only think about things that happend in the past. And dont think about the present or the future because they are to bussy thinking about something that already happend.
i agree with this statement beacause it seems like life is happening over and over all over the world but the only thing that is changing is the technology but other than that everything is still the same...=]
i think the quote means that the past repeats its self or something similar happenes and if you messed up once you'll messed up again or you can try to make it diffrent
I THINK BECUASE IF YOU DO SOMETHING NOW THAT WILL EFFECT YOUR LIFE, MAYBE IN THE FUTURE YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT THAT BAD THING THAT YOU DID. YOU CANT START OVER AND HAVE A BETTER LIFE. SOMETHING YOU MIGHT YOU WANNA DO IN THE FUTURE LIKE TO PLAY IN THE NFL OR NBA YOU CAN PRACTICE NOW BE TRAINING IN STUFF.
i think its true because you dont know if the future is coming.And that the past is slowly happening again because of the wars and because of how people treat others
i think its true because you dont know if the future is coming.And that the past is slowly happening again because of the wars and because of how people treat others
i dont really get it but i think it means that we have to learn the good and bad things what happended in the world. But the majority is that we've done a lot of bad things. but whats ironic we keep doing the bad things. i always wonder when is a time where everyone sits on circles and sing. i wish we could all eat a cake made out of rainbows and unicorns.
i think this quote is saying that the past never goes away it just comes and we think its the present.

I think this quote means that people make mistakes and make the same ,mistakes over and over again and it comes back to them and it's haunted them and there'sno future no present.

what the qoute is trying to say
is that you cant change the past the past is done already you just have to move on and try not to do the mistakes you in the past again.
yeah its true because this quote is saying that stuff that happened in the past will happen again. History keeps on repeating itself. and right now i am going through that.
There is no present or future, only the past, happening over and over again, now. I think that this statement is true because i guess some people cant let go of what ever happen in the past (good or bad)and it seems like life just goes in circles!!!
I think that the statement is true because if there was a future we would be living in it because time is passing by fast and days are going by quick, but we are still here and still alive.
I THINK THAT YOU KEEP ON MAKING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER...
i THINK THIS QUOTE MEAN THAT YOU CNT CHANGE THE PASS WHAT U DID IN THE PASS IT STEADS IN THE PASS.IF U DID MISTAKES IN THE PASS U JUST HAVE 2 LEARNED 4RN IT AND MAKE IT BETTER.
I dont really understnd the quote but I think it's trying to say that things dont change they will just keep happening over and over and we always be facing the same problems and changing the same way we did back then but in different ways.
I think that this statement is stating that our lifetime hasn't changed and nothing is improving. Every few centurys,decades and all the time eras all relate to each other. We need a change because it's too many bad things in our society that needs a resolution and fast.
I think it means life is repeating it'shelf because some of our past is coming back such as racism and wars.
This comment has been removed by the author.
I think there is a present or future but it depends on the people like they decide if they want a future or not and the peolpe still living in the pass are people that dont want to move on and they keep making the same mistakes that they did in the past so they don't see a future
This quote is saying that from what has happened in the past, we live from there. It repeats itself, such as wars and hate, until people try to stop it. One person isn't enough; the whole world isn't going to listen to just one person. EVERYONE needs to want to change, & that is when it will happen. =]
I think that this quote means that life keeps on repeating itself and it's up to you to make sure that you don't repeat the same mistakes. You could take it as a chance to fix your mistakes or another chance to mess up again. This quote means that your past is always there. (:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANTEAGO! <3
There is no present or future, only the past, happening over and over again, now.
I dont agree with this quote because there is a present which is what were living right now and our future is whats going to happen later in our lifes. the past is past it already happened.
this statement is true because you are the only that can make the future happen, you can make good things happen.
In some way I do agree with the quote because sometimes society doesn't want to improve. They're constantly making the same mistakes and live in the pass don't realize how important it is to move on.
I think this quote means everything we are doing in the present are thing we have done in the past. We go through the same problem from the past over and over again. We have to face the same situations as the past and sometimes we make the same mistakes but sometimes we dont make mstakes as the past.
I think this quote means everything we are doing in the present are thing we have done in the past. We go through the same problem from the past over and over again. We have to face the same situations as the past and sometimes we make the same mistakes but sometimes we dont make mstakes as the past.
i disagree because everybody shapes their own future and if people change so will their lives =/
that means that if we dont learn from or mistakes than the past will keep repeating itself over and over agin. just like it is doing now. say for instance rasism it is still going on and that was suposed to be left in the past and learn from the mistakes that were made back then but we havent. another example of our mistakes or the mistakes of the counrty is slavery there is slavery going on still throught the world and no body is doing anything to stop it.

I dont really agree with the quote if the past repeated itself there would be no homeless people if this were true do you think gorge bush would have been president
I AGREE WITH THIS QUOTE. I THINK IT MEANS THAT LIFE CAN REPEAT ITSELF, AND WHEN SOMTHING COMES UP FROM YOU CAN REMEMBER WHAT HAPPEND , AND WHO YOU DID. SO THAT YOU CAN LEARN FRON IT AND NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES.FOR EX, YOU MIGHT DO SOMETHING IN YOU'ER PAST AND YOU THINK THAT IT' OVER AND YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO FACE IT AGAIN. BUT IN THE FUTURE THAT SAME THING CAME BACK UP AND U WILL HAVE TO DEALL WITH IT EVEN THOUGH U DONT WANT TO.=]NIKKI
There is no present or future, only the past, happening over and over again, now.
THAT IS NOT TRUE THERE IS A PRESENT AND A FUTURE THE PAST IS THE PAST AND YOU CAN'T CHANGE IT BUT YOU CAN ACTUALLY CHANGE YOUR FUTURE.
I think that there is a present and past I dont think that there is a Future because it has not hapened like the past which has happened and the present which you are living
This comment has been removed by the author.
I agree and disagree. I agree beacause everything that has happened in the past, it is continuing happening in the present. I disagree because the past was yesterday, the present is today, and the future is tomorrow
i agree because theres a past and theres a future.so i guess i agree.
I THINK THIS STATEMENT IS SAYIN THAT WE HAVE BEEN REPEATING OUR PAST MISTAKES SUCH AS WAR WITH SMALLER AND LESSER COUNTRY LIKE THE WAR IN IRAQ.AND I FEEL THAT WE NARE PAYIN FOR PAST PRESIDENTS MISTAKES.
I agree because you do things every day that you do in the past. For example you eat every day. i disagree because there is a present and a future. We succeed on many different thing every day.
I do agree with this quote you should forget the past and only think about the future cause you can't change the past only the future.
This comment has been removed by the author.
I disagree because there is a present and future. But then i agree because what we did in the past, we could be doing it now or in the future.
I think this statement means that we are not learning from our mistakes for example discrimination and racism.
I dont think this statement is true because how is the past happening over and over again. The past is the past and you cant change it. But it does all depend on you of what happends in the future.
The past repeats itself sometimes it seems like a broken cd.
i think that this statement means that everything happens over and over again just in diffrent forms and that many people fall for the same problems and their same mistakes
