Blaaah, i've never really been a fan of his prior to this thread anyway. Also, he wasn't the first, they said that the first one to see America continent was a sailor, of course he took all the credit, the captain dipshit. And America was there and if it wasn't he who discovered it, someone else would have done too. It's just the matter of time. Columbus contributed none to America's nowadays, really. lol Why do people care? If he hadn't did what we did, we wouldn't be here today. I'm Italian, my ancestors were Romans. Caeser didn't say "I came, I saw and now I feel really bad about it" (Thank you, Spike). Yeah... Columbus was lucky i wasn't on the boat with him otherwise it would have been me who discovered America. And i don't rape nothing ![]() lol that picture of Columbus makes me laugh. He looks like Christopher Walken. Really ?! That pic reminds me of a guy whose name starts with P and ends with EDOPHILE. ![]() lol nice one. |

LOL, I remember bad-mouthing the topic in elementary school. (ignorant little kid then, ignorant adult[?] now). He would have been perfect for U.S. government work - if you mess up, instead of getting fired, you get promoted so as to cause fewer problems in the future.

no he did discover anything. but he did make north and south America more known in Europe making it possible for them to explore more. if it wasnt for him it would have taken much longer for the Americas to be explored and colonized.
