He’s proud that he still has the mop at that age.
Edit: Sorry late to the party. I saw all the other responses as well.When are the Polish going to get their day? Years of horrible and hurtful jokes.
The Knights of Columbus sets the record straight about Columbus. Okay, I guess?"Five Myths About Columbus | KofC.org" http://www.kofc.org/en/news-room/columbia/2020/september/five-myths-about-columbus.html
I do not dislike Catholics, being one myself.So, discounting it because you dislike KofC, Catholics, or just historical figures in general?
Since Halloween is my birthday , can I start that thread also ?Well , reading this thread was pathetic . Leave it to this place to piss on a holiday . Can’t wait for the happy Halloween thread where people complain about getting PTSD from scary costumes or cavities from m&m’s .
Happy Columbus Day to one and all !
Giovanni Caboto? Capisce?Columbus "discovered" Hispaniola.
Wasn't it John Cabot that actually "discovered" America....as if you can discover a place where millions of people already live.
When are the Polish going to get their day? Years of horrible and hurtful jokes.
Is this a once a year thing? If someone wants to come out, do they have to wait til next October? Asking for my friend...According to UberEats
It's also "🌈 National Coming Out Day 🌈" today.
I wonder who's bright idea that was... to put it on Columbus Day of all days...
UberEats also says they are a "Safe Space" whatever THAT means for a food delivery service... 🙄
I just wish they'd stop commercializing their virtue signaling and just give me my damn burrito quicker and at a cheaper price. Without all those exorbitant "delivery and service" fees and 2-3hr wait times...
🌯
I guess so.Is this a once a year thing? If someone wants to come out, do they have to wait til next October? Asking for my friend...
Agreed.However you feel about him there is really no reason to give him a holiday like Lincoln, Washington or Martin Luther King, or veterans. Maybe the holiday can be changed to something entirely different, celebrating an idea like being thankful or laborers rather than a person or people.
What is this coming out you are speaking about ? Do you mean when little Johnny goes over to little Timmy's and asks him to come out and play ?Is this a once a year thing? If someone wants to come out, do they have to wait til next October? Asking for my friend...
Da Gama
In the most horrific incident, da Gama intercepted a ship carrying Muslim families returning from a religious pilgrimage to Mecca in modern-day Saudi Arabia. Da Gama locked up the passengers in the ship's hull, and despite pleas from his own crew members not to do it, he set the pilgrim ship ablaze, slowly killing hundreds of men, women and children.
I was told it's Happy Indigenous People's Day.
🙄It's also National Coming Out Day.
National Coming Out Day
Homophobia thrives in silence, so today, many people who identify as LGBTQ+ “come out.”nationaltoday.com

13,000 -----C'mon Man!Did that Monk from Ireland leave you behind or were you the one that that guided people across the Bering Strait and as the first people to enter North America, about 13,000 years ago
As an Italian, Catholic and member of the KoC, I laughed at your comment. I thought the same thing when I saw the link.The Knights of Columbus sets the record straight about Columbus. Okay, I guess?
Las Casas was as primary a source as you are going to get. He witnessed the atrocities that Columbus ordered (or at minimum, permitted). In fact he participated in them. Later he had a religious conversion and became a Dominican friar.The most important fact about Columbus is that his original journal does not exist. His "journal" was written by a man named Las Casas, who apparently did not admire him, so its accuracy is doubtful. Even if it was partially accurate, language from the journal, as it was translated, was misinterpreted. When Columbus referred to natives as potentially becoming "good servants", there are historians who believe that he meant servants of God, not slaves.
When you study historical events, you have to consider primary sources, not someone's interpretation of history, or an article on the Internet. You also have to consider many other factors, including historical context. I'm not an expert on Columbus, but I've met many people who think they are. I love to ask them how they acquired their knowledge, and ask them if they ever read his original journal or any of his writings. It's amazing to you talk to people about history or current events, and ask them this question: "Well, that sounds very interesting. How do you know?"
