Got nothing for ya

I know.

 

[1vol8]

I know.

Evidently you don’t. Provided proof of it twice. Notice UTvol shut up? You should’ve done the same

You have provided nothing, especially proof of anything you claimed.

 

[Weezer]

St. Augustine claims to be the first European settlement in what is now the US. I've never seen any claim that Columbus had anything to do with it.

Do they claim to be the first? I thought the claim was they were the longest continuous European settlement?

. Ok. So you’re just as stubborn as you are disrespectful. Go back and read the definition of “founded” given you thought it was a good idea to take a shot at my vocabulary. And was it not you that said Columbus never set foot on the Americas? You could’ve saved a little face if you had just admitted you were wrong. That pride thing is a bit^h.

I said he never set foot in what is now the USA and never set foot on the mainland continent of North America so it was impossible for him to be the founder of a settlement here or anywhere on mainland NA. He is credited with finding NA but he isn't a founder. Any teacher teaching it differently is flat out wrong.

Columbus never set foot in North America. The only part of the U.S. he ever possibly touched, and I'd have to research to see if he did, is Puerto Rico, or possibly one of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Most of his voyages focused on Caribbean Islands, but I believe he also landed somewhere on the Northern part of South America. I want to say somewhere around Venezuela but I'm not positive.

I once floated the idea of an all female submarine crew. You torpedoed that pretty quick.

I did, I think you know why. Not that some serious ladies couldn’t pull it off. It’s the scary hormonal ones I don’t want with torpedos. Just think, they would all be cycling together. Now that’s scary.

That may be it.

I'm pretty sure (not 100%) that Columbus didn't land on mainland SA either. His only settlements were in what is now the Dominican Republic and one of the Bahama Islands.

 

[hog88]

That may be it.

St Augustine was the first and Roanoke Island the second but I think the Vikings were in Nova Scotia prior to either.

The way old school Russians/short time Canadians beat them all

Attack Subs armed with Tomahawks only then. No Boomers armed with Tridents lol.

Look up his third voyage. At the very least he sailed along the coast of South America, so I think that being the case, he probably made landfall somewhere.

 

[Weezer]

I think the discovery of supposed Viking settlements changed St. Augustine's designation to the oldest continuous European settlement. Then you have places like Acoma Pueblo that claim to be the longest continuous settlements period. I believe the area claims to have been settled for like 2000 years? I'd have to look it all up again.

I am always down for leg jokes. If you can't laugh at your lot in life, what's the point?

Bravo Sir !

 

[DinkinFlicka]

Because Republicans are known to abuse illegal substances?

You're attempting to analyze the wit of a mental chipmunk.

 

[vader]

Wow, this thread is something. If we can’t trust teachers to teach history, should we really trust them with a gun?

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

If I could, I wish I could bring you on school tours when I'm making my student teacher observation rounds. I'd park you right in the front row of a history/social studies class and let you see for yourself how wrong you are.

You know as well as I do that when people are being observed that behavior changes.

Vikings were 1021 AD

 

[lawgator1]

Does this apply to all military, police officers, secret service agents and personal bodyguards?

No.

 

[AshG]

Yes, but teachers also don't have the luxury of having alternative lesson plans for every time there's a visitor in the classroom. Especially with the states that are mandating submission of all lesson plans the summer ahead.

 

[AshG]

No he's not.

Hi!

Yes I am!

They’re clearly not qualified to be police officers and should turn in their badges. Officers that won’t engage active shooters are tits-on-bull useless.
