Meshugger Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) I haven't, and will not be bothered to watch the videos. Sounds like a whole lot of SJW butthurt. Should we listen to butthurt SJWs?

Namutree Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 For some reason I don't even see a video. Though I will say that I'm not a fan of Columbus day myself. Not sure if it should be abolished, but would shed no tears if it was. "Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking. I use blue text when I'm being sarcastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcador Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I'd have gone with Watson, somewhat of a larger impact than Schafer. Why has elegance found so little following?

Amentep Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 When is Columbus day even celebrated? Is it a public holiday in some countries, its not in mine? October 12, Anniversary date of Columbus' arrival in the Americas (October 12, 1492). A US Federal Holiday. I believe it used to be a Federal Holiday for several South American countries as well, but I think these have been changed to things like Discovery Day (Bahamas) or Day of the Americas (Belize?) rather than to be specifically about Columbus. 1 I cannot - yet I must.

Nonek Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I thought that the age of exploration was started by the Phoenicians. 1 Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!

I believe it used to be a Federal Holiday for several South American countries as well, but I think these have been changed to things like Discovery Day (Bahamas) or Day of the Americas (Belize?) rather than to be specifically about Columbus. It's also the Spanish national holiday. It's celebrated in some Latin American countries, as you say, under various motifs (resistance against Yuropeans, Race Day, encounter of cultures, etc). It's not called Columbus' Day here, we call it "Hispanidad" ("Hispanicity"), though I'm not sure how much the sentiment is shared elsewhere... - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Guard Dog Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Sure why not. We'll ban Columbus day. Then all the dead natives will come back to life, we'll roll back the clock to 1492, all the whites will go back to Europe and die of the plague, the natives will continue on with the mighty united civilization they weren't building and it will be like all of this never happened. It all sounds so simple, why didn't we think of it before. But seriously ban it if you want. No one will notice and unless you work in the f-----g post office you weren't getting the day off anyway. If meaningless gestures like this keep the SJWs going one more day without killing themselves from they shame they have no business feeling then ban away.

Will the blacks be going back to Africa in this scenario? If so, is the true desire of the SJW to see blacks back to Africa, because that would explain San Francisco and Portland.

Calax Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 To be fair, in that out of africa map, there is a certain point (I think around 20000 years ago) where those living in Africa were futher apart from those living in Europe than us.
