Thanksgiving is a little out there. I mean hell, there's a long European tradition of celebrating the fall harvest. They call it Oktoberfest in Germany, and drink beer. We call it Thanksgiving and eat turkey.
But banning Columbus Day is a damn fine idea. If we're going to celebrate it at all, we might as well call it Genocide Day, or Turning Children Into Sex Slaves Day. It would literally be more humane to celebrate the Holocaust.
Columbus Day has become a holiday celebrating Italians in America when, of course Chris was working for Spain. Besides, the subjugation of indigenous people by Europeans would have happened one way or the other. Try reading "Guns, Germs and Steel," if you want to get a handle on it. I don't expect Native Americans to like it but I'm still planning on eating my turkey.
They're getting their country back a quarter at a time. lol Small reward for the genocide of their people, but it's better than nothing.
as for Columbus, typical Daego. Didn't know where he was going, had no idea where he had been when he got back, and he did it all on borrowed money. No wonder he was working for Spain. If he had pulled that shit on a Guido, he would have ended up sleeping with the fish.
and yes, it would have happened sooner or later anyhow, but if I were Native American, it wouldn't make me feel a bit better.
Try calling the Hotel Del Rey, room 607.
Are you really so stupid as to think there is no internet in Costa Rica?
I don' make up shit like you seem to have a need to do. If you don't believe me, just dial the fucking number big shot. I'll even save you the trouble of looking it up it's: Country code 506, number 2257-7800.
Just because you are a chicken shit, lying coward, doesn't make me one. Come on, dial the number, and then be prepared to shut your mouth.
is liorr worth giving out your contact number? Maybe I'm a little paranoid, but you never know who could be creeping about, ya know?
I think I have a lot more serious problems than liorr on my hands. lol
As I have said before, I am too lazy to lie, and that goes for my "real" life as well. I am not concerned about anyone finding out my real name and "outing" me. Virtually everyone who knows me knows that I am a drinking, gambling, whore mongering pig. You can't blackmail someone who doesn't give a fuck. lol
and liorr isn't the only one welcome to call me, I am even more happy to talk to friends than I am cowardly little board trolls, and I can't drink and fuck 24/7, I am getting old, I need a few hours of rest here and there. lol
you had better pack a fucking lunch.
known for since you are there, nature, scuba diving, pool, beach, ladies, bars, man i have to teach you.
I've never met gambler but my bet says he is calm and collected in CR, not hyperactive, never over indulging except with women and whiskey.
I doubt he dives , though he might if you go on a shark dive with him.
Don't do it Gilligan.
I bet if I took up a collection to buy him a one way ticket down here with a promise to feed him to the crocs, I would be flooded with contributions. lol
Hey crocs have to eat too. lol
Whoooops, he slippped.
Who can forget the Beatle Bar?
I can arrange to be passing through the Foxwoods area that day, and have a provider for dessert!
PS: The only person who spells "Dago" with an "e" in it is a certain mod here.
all right lets just call them "wops" instead. I don't know if I have mentioned this before, but my father is Sicilian. Now come fuck with me. lol
because they'll rob you blind with an abacus and you won't even know it. At least when a guinea robs you, you know you've been robbed.
They make the Sicilians look like a bunch of choir boys, well actually most of the mafioso's started off as choir boys. lol
Besides the Chinese have an extra couple of thousand years of practice than you "white devils"
I'm the Gewilo that walks a few extra blocks from the hotels in Kowloon to save $ in the SPA. The local guys who use that SPA hate my guts from being there but they won't fuck me because of the Triad who's running the place. I agree they might be some of the last people you ever want to mess with. I'd much rather have bullet through the brain than be hacked to death with machete.
I agree that the Europeans probably would have subjegated the Natives one way or another. I have doubts though that if the Vikings had done it that they would have turned 9 year olds into sex slaves.
Guns, Germs, and Steel was one hell of a great read.
With the exception of goddamned cranberry sauce, I'm a sucker for turkey day too. 
You don't know shit about the American Indian. You're like the jackoff white wanna be Injun Proff at U of Colorado before they got sick of his BS too and fired him !
Whitey didn't do anything to the AI's they weren't already doing to each other. Thieving , Killing , Strealing, Raping, Kidnapping from each other was a way of life.
Once a year The Iroquois Confederacy pulled warriors from all the tribes and they would run, not ride because they didn't horses yet, run all the way down the trade trail from now NY State to the Carolinas to do all the listed above. The Iroquios Nation conquered more land mass than the Romans did.
How do think the Great Sioux Nation ended moving from now Minnesota to the Dakotas ? Do you think the Indians living in the black hills before them just said " hey Sioux come on in and take our land and fuck our squaws ?
Live by the sword , die by the sword.
