Columbus was a bigoted murderer, NOT a hero
 

fact.

This is news?

thought ppl should know

yeah.

He was also, obviously not the person to dicover this land.

I wonder why they teach kids these lies?

How long will america hide the truth of its founding?

:glugglug

I think it's pretty much been general consensus for a while in the US that Columbus isn't a hero dude.

whatever . i love my azn shit hole

Oh, fuck! I guess I can take down my little shrine to Columbus. What brought that on, anyway? Are you on an anti-Columbus kick or something? If you're worried about the Native Americans, they were no picnic, either. They warred and murdered and did human sacrifices. Just like Europe, they had their good and bad points. So what?

you're an idiot that regurgitates whatever you see on cable

all history needs to be examined in the light of the time it occured.

I'm a hero.

Nah seriously.

If I ever have a kid, I wonder what will be the outcome?

Let him/her go to school and learn the lies of this bullshit country?

Teach him/her the truth.

The more contradictions I find in these teachings, I wonder, what will I do?

I'm tired of the lies.

Columbus thought he was in India, which was almost right!

I don't know anyone in America that thinks Columbus was a hero, kinda dumb that we have a holiday for him.

I think Columbus was a great hero!

Home schooling man!!:thumbsup

I implore you to teach me the TRUTH.

Columbus was a great hero.

Motives and psuedo political speculation is great 500 years after the fact.

What do you think Columbus had on his mind when he went on his voyages - to completely destroy a culture that no-one had any contact with previously.

Exploring and conquest is part of the human condition - native Americans did the same thing, in a smaller scale of course, but dont think for a second that if they had the money and the technology that the Europeans had they would not have been doing the exact same thing.

Because the Easter Bunny is cuter than an exposed pancreas.

Until we all become hyper cynical by shaking all possible "telephone" interpretations of the historical details in a global bingo spinner and calling random numbers until no one wants to play anymore.

Oh, wait. That was rhetorical, wasn't it?
