Happy Leif Erikkson Day!

[Selastan]

Agreed. This SJW bullshit of trying to rename the holiday needs to just stop.

Leif Erikson Day isn't replacing Columbus Day. They are two separate holidays that happen to fall on the same day this year. The second Monday of October is Columbus Day, while Leif Erikson Day is always October 9th.

Oh ya be a "real" American by celebrating a guy who never set foot on America and committed mass genocide killing millions through enslavement. Ya what a day to be an American celebrate fraud and genocide.

The fact that you think any day you live, no matter where it is, isn't because of some kind of mass cleansing, genocide, and/or enslavement to some degree, means you have, in no way what so ever, to talk about anyone celebrating any day of the year for any reason.

Oh I understand that what I don't understand how anyone is stupid enough to think we should keep around a day that celebrates a fucking idiot who in no way discovered America, never even stepped foot on America, and committed mass genocide. So why in the hell is he still celebrated.

[Lochton]

ACK!

Just when I've shaved my beard off!

SKÅL!

....... Manifest destiny? Holy shit... Are you, by chance, a bald eagle drinking coors while shooting a semi-automatic rifle with the soundtrack of "Team America" blasting behind you?

[Kathandira]

I'd rather celebrate Columbus day since I'm a true American.

You are from South America?

[lockedout]

No I'm from NA.

Unfortunately, he didn't discover North America. So you are actually celebrating South America's founding by Christopher Columbus. This has zilch to do with North America.

Italian explorer Christopher Columbus sets foot on the American mainland for the first time, at the Paria Peninsula in present-day Venezuela. Thinking it an island, he christened it Isla Santa and claimed it for Spain.

In America we celebrate Columbus day. I am an American and it's a tradition here. That is all.

I fail to see what a deluded genocidal Italian sailing under a Spanish flag has anything to do with being a true American. But if you wanna come off as a complete and total ass, you do you bo!

So what are you doing to Celebrate this day? Aside from looking at the calendar, seeing the title on the date, and going on with your day as if it was any other day? There is no cultural celebration rituals.

What will you be remembered for? oh...sorry

[pathora44]

What will you be remembered for? oh...sorry

Soon enough for about as much as Colombus because more and more cities are pushing away from Colombus day because he is a fraud.

I doubt Columbus day will disappear in your lifetime. But serious question. What do you gain from arguing so vehemently on the internet, for example, against Christopher Columbus. Your Rhetoric isn't going to convince anyone to your way of thinking because you are so hostile, at least in the way you present it.

[Brubear]

A true American celebrates a man who never set foot in the US?
