I'm not saying his discovery was legitimate in any way, but I will still give props to a man willing to set out to sea to sail across the Atlantic without knowing where he was going in the 1400's.

I mean, if nothing else, he was an explorer!

I'll say it again, we should rename the holiday to Explorers' Day!




These days we call that a mid life crisis. Unfortunately most everything has already been discovered.




Exploration (to me) is not about finding something no one else has... it's about discovering unknown territory for your own enjoyment. It's about seeing the world. :shrug:




Oh I agree. Exploration should not include beating down the locals however.

Columbus did not acomplish anything of merit. He was a tyrant and an idiot, and there should definately not be a holiday devoted to his misguided ass.

History says, Don't hope

On this side of the grave.

But then, once in a lifetime

The longed-for tidal wave

Of justice can rise up

And hope and history rhyme.

Okay, now we're talking. You make a valid point.

Maybe we could petition to have it changed to "Explorers' Day" instead. That would kick ass.

I love exploring!




that would be better. although i still think american national holidays should be reserved for strictly, awe inspiring americans.

what are some other stupid holidays we have?




I dunno. Valentine's Day? Heh.

I don't think St. Valentine was American.

Shit, now that I think about it, Christmas is out too... :P




i think all of the major holidays are stupid.

valentines day- turned into another money making scheme for corporations. where men are told they HAVE to get their women chocolates, cards and be very romantic. i dont like being told what to do :/

thanksgiving- the most reasonable of all of them, however its ironic that most of us think that the pilgrims sat down and had a lovely dinner with the natives.... when in fact we were killing them. lol

christmas-biggest joke of them all. it makes a complete mockery of the real reason of christmas, even though i am not christian, i still think its stupid. the birth of christ turned into a competition to see who can afford the most and best presents.

easter- since when did christ turn into a big fuzzy egg laying rabbit?

halloween- just like the others, it has been warped severely by americans.

most of our holidays are nothing more than money making schemes anymore. and the ones that arent, will be.

well at least those holidays arent devoted to a rapist/killer/stealer of vast amounts of land

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. ~ Albert Einstein
"Fear is the great barrier to human growth." ~ Dr. Robert Monroe

whether you like Columbus or not, what he achieved was pretty damned incredible.




He didn't do anything that hadn't been done before. He merely discovered the land right out from under the people that had called it home for years and years and lived off the gold he "discovered" from the native population until he died.

What a dick.

And he didn't even set foot in mainland North America during any of his 4 journeys. Unless you consider circling Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic and fucking over the natives from Mexico to Panama and a small bit of Venezuela and Trinidad.




it was still a stepping stone for European discovery and exploration whether you want to admit it or not.

Ok the Native Americans came over on that little strip that connected Alaska and China a LONG time ago. And the Vikings found the Americas a few hundred years before Columbus.

He did nothing but find it for Spain. 2 other major groups had found it prior. Where is Viking Day? or Native American coming to America Day?

tradition.

exactly.

and there is another theory as to how native americans got here. there is a possibility that atlantis was a real civilization, and when it was destroyed the refugees migrated over here. :shrug:

No no christ isn't the rabbit, St. Peter was a rabbit, as should all the Pope's be.

Yeah, fuck that Columbus. What he did wasn't all that special. He's just a lame Leif Ericson copycat.

Happy Leif Ericson day everybody.

I was going to make the same damn thread with the same damn title. Except my reasoning is that the fucking bank was closed and I need to cash a check!!!





same exact scenario here... i pulled into the bank thinking, "wow, only two cars. there wont be a line, my lucky day". then, after reading the sign on the door, i walked back to my car muttering a cuss word or two. fuck columbus, and the boat he sailed in on.

and a side note...

spell check can kiss my ass. i dont capitalize the beginning of my scentances, why the hell should his name be any different?

how's your WOW?
