Didn't the dutch do a lot of enslaving and conquesting? Hmmmmm?
If the natives here had attacked the settlers from the beginning they could have kept them away for a long time. Simply driving away the game and destroying their crops at night will do the job. Plus shooting arrows at hunting parties, a few flaming arrows shot at the huts at night, etc.
The natives were too divided to present a united front against the invaders. Sort of like the situation today.

One of the many things Columbus brought back with him was the first documented case of syphilis in Europe.
If that doesn't scream "Hey I just raped countless women!"
I don't know what does.

I don't care which holiday is which holiday; if we're trying to make reparations it could be called "The Natives Have The Biggest Dicks Day" for all I care, I just need to know if stores are going to be open or closed.

Fuck that shit.
Columbus Day is about eating lasagna, eggplant parmigiana, chicken parmigiana, veal parmigiana, breaded and fried steak, Utica Greens, and getting drunk.

edit: No I did not bother reading this thread.
-------------------- m00nshine is currently vacationing in Maui. Rumor has it he got rolled by drunken natives and is currently prostituting himself in order to pay for airfare back to the mainland but he's having trouble juggling a hairon addiction. He won't be back for a long while.

That is because he lost. If he won, there would be. And if the American Indians were able to repel the European invaders into the sea they would celebrate that too.
I'm not justifying Columbus day though, its disgusting as most remembrances are.

Celebrating conquest without scrutiny is absolutely a bad idea. It's unacceptable, even if it happened five hundred years ago.

Obviously you should not celebrate Columbus day. Definitely needs to be changed to something else.
