More cities giving heave ho to Columbus Day

Well that is the butterfly effect and can be said for any countless number of actions...don't see why it holds water for your specific argument.

It's quite simple if you think about it

Can we replace it with Amerigo Vespucci day?

Then the bankers and mail people won’t riot

 

[NashVol11]

Funny that by stating facts it makes you a "critic of Muslims"

Go figure

At least own it instead of trying to play innocent

Leif Erikson or Saint Brendan day?

How about Pismonque Day? Nobody knows who the hell was the first one here so why not some random schmo? And why not me? I happen to think this place is pretty damn cool, despite how much we're all trying to **** it up. Yes, I'm including you, Gentle Reader.

We know that Lief Eriksson was the first to discover North America (outside of the natives that crossed the Bering Strait and settled). The first non-native settlement is at L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland, Canada. The Viking settlement dates back to the 11th Century AD, some 400 years prior to Columbus's arrival to the Americas.

Gotcha, I figured it was just an avenue for you to criticize Muslims.

You don’t need to find an avenue to criticize Muslims. Muslims provide enough avenues to criticize them on their own.

True. Same goes for every religious movement. All wackos.

You're right but I was actually referring to people in general so it would be some unheralded early wanderer. And for all we know, that person's name could have been Pismonque! So I maintain my claim to the name.

Happy Columbus Day!

Happy Festivus day

 

[Biopsyman]

What about the Hollywood director, Chris Columbus? Does he get the heave ho like ESPN did with Korean commentator Bob Lee?

No.. Bob Li

Fine, but only if it's spelled Piss Monk Day.

 

[gasguy98]

Columbus was a P.O.S. of course all Euro explorers were, backed by their crowns to legally rape and pillage.

Blame the white guy.
Racist.

[Elhanan]

Leif Erikson or Saint Brendan day?
