Columbus is the reason you're here today. He's the reason you're allowed to live out your troll life on these p99 forums. You should have a shrine to him in your bathroom, next to McQuaids.

naked savages lol

THEY GOTTA BE SAVAGES CAUSE THEY GOT NO CLOTH ON! GOD DIDNT LIKE IT WHEN ADAM AND EVE HID THEIR BODY HE CREATED, FROM HIM.

Like Cortes, Colombus toppled civilizations in spite of being deeply outnumbered, ill-supplied, and thousands of miles from home. Pretty interesting and heroic if you ask me. I think Cortes takes the cake though; the Aztec Empire was a much more worthy foe than a bunch of naked savages on Hispaniola.

Shame about the genocide but it's not like he was the only one that murdered natives, that was par for the course with settlers, explorers, and conquistadors from 1500-1880ish.

Neither were good people and definitely shouldn't be revered, just remembered.... accurately

History on Fire: The Conquest of Mexico

Must listen to anyone interested in that period of time.

+ you should have seen what the Ottomans were doing to Christian Europe during Columbus's lifetime. Yikes, hundreds of thousands of galley slaves and concubines kidnapped from the coasts of France and Italy to be shipped back to Anatolia.

Violence is an ouroboros. We're lucky we live in pax americana

Do you really mean usury? Or simply loans?

Charging interest in any form is usury in my peabrain.

Maybe that's why most of their countries are dumps? JK

I think of usury as like Indian Loans...Pay Day Loans etc...predator loans.
