Columbus. Good or bad?

[JoeB131]

How many men could navigate the oceans back in the 1400s? Not an easy feat! Columbus was good; courageous; and intelligent. Give credit where credit is due.

Actually, lots of men could at the time.

Columbus didn't know where he was going.
Didn't know where he was when he got there.
Didn't know where he had been when he got back.
And did it all on borrowed money.

He was the first Republican!

NeighborhoodScout rates the crime rate of a city from 0 to 100, with 0 being most dangerous. The single greatest predictor of a city's crime rate is the percentage on Negroes in a city.

No, but I check to make sure that I have my pepper spray with me. I think of pepper spray as my Negro Repellent. I have used it successfully to repel four Negro muggers.

You mean you sprayed some black guy you met on the street, and he didn't bother to report a hate crime.

I sprayed four Negro men who tried to mug me. One of them asked me for money. When I took out my wallet to give him some, he grabbed my wallet. He got no money and a face full of pepper spray.

So, um, sounds like you were at fault there.

You should have just said no.

I'm sure you used your Kung Fu on them after that.

He was trying to rob me. My pepper spray said "No" in language he could understand.

Sure you did.

You're the internet tough guy. You think your insults, name calling, and obscene words intimidate me. Instead, they reinforce my doubt that you graduated from college.

 

[Slyhunter]

What do you think?

George Washington, good or bad.
Us spreading into the West, good or bad?
The Boston Tea Party, good or bad?

I heard Columbus was an asshole who held his people together with an iron fist, prosecuting the oppressed with severe Capital Punishments.

Why is it the Good Guys always win?


Who writes the History books.

Could you have done it then or now?

Naw, watching you whine about it like a little bitch is amusing.

Could you have done it then or now?

With modern technology, easily.

I would have also had the advantage of modern knowledge
