WTF is an anti-Columbus day protest?

[Bosnian Sajo]

Because that sort of thing was pretty ****ing common 500 years ago...

'But how could Native's cut out the heart of a living person and eat it?'

Because... that also was pretty ****ing common 500 years ago.

You understand we live in different times, right?

No, it wasn't common. Show me another instance of biological warfare that was ACCEPTABLE during ANY PERIOD, ever.

no, it wasn't common.

but let me guess, your history expertise comes from watching indiana jones movies.

[tpols]

I'm not even gonna get started arguing.


You right man, genocide is the way of life for us humans, it's the way we conquer land. It's fair game. What the Serbs did to us Bosnians, it's normal to kill men, women, and children for land. No problems. If hitler was killing Jews for their land, that too would of been fair game.


Thanks for showing me the right way homie, that's just life.

you just sound very naive and emotional.. i agree its an ugly truth, but it is how everything came about. you could say same stuff about almost every big leader to ever lived is all im saying

[Bosnian Sajo]

lmao nah son, you're the naive one. Big time.

I'd go off on your ass and explain to you step by step what I mean (since it's obviously necessary, for you) but I'm multitasking right now as is, not even gonna try to.

It's hilarious really, like early Americans didn't slaughter, brought diseases and forced Native Americans to move out of their land

If you're anti Columbus you're anti America

One of the most retarded posts of all time. Impressive.

The spirit of Columbus still treading over natives to this day

More holiday = better.

All holidays can be criticized.

Columbus did have an influence on finding America. That's what's celebrated, not the other stuff that's bad.

I find it to be moronic for these history revisionists to go through the past and hold it to a very different moral standard like the one we have it today, as if those societies should have had the foresight or ability to see through time. These people have no idea about context of the times and it's really just to appease their current political agenda. Life was different then. The struggle to survive manifested in a lot more harsher ways than what we have today with the help of advanced technology.

And in before "But but, Thomas Jefferson had slaves!"

other than the aztecs and the incas, americans had a pretty great arrangement before columbus came along.

the various tribes could do their thing, there was plenty of land and resources, and the whole thing was sustainable as a mofo, unlike today.

Um, that doesn't change history tho, we also did some horrible things to native americans

[CelticBaller]

One of the most retarded posts of all time. Impressive.

ad hominem

Keep being ignorant

How does that make what Columbus and company did acceptable?? They gave the natives disease infested blankets, hw can you even compare that to anything?

Yes, because people in the 1400s TOTALLY understood how disease spreads.


Guy #1: "We'll give them these blankets. It's covered in disease"

Guy #2: "They're covered in disease? How do you know that?"

Guy #1: "Oh, believe me. I know. They're covered in disease"

Guy #2: "OMG then why are we handling blankets that are full of diseases?"

Guy #1: "No, it's cool. We're immune to these diseases"

Guy #2: "So, did you do any DNA testing?"

Guy #1: "Nah, I just looked it up on the Internet. Googled it."

Guy #2: "How fast is your WiFi connection?"

They didn't know scientifically what germs were but they were well aware of the effects of them. It was a calculated move.

um, is there some particular point you're trying to make that you think people are unaware of...?
