i think ALL my problems would be solved if they played that song on jepordy instead of the original that makes me want to throw my fuzzy turtle at the tv and cry.....thank you hank :)
My sister still had school on Colombus Day. She tried to convince me that there was no school that day. Lots of arguing. I told her to go to school and if there was no school then she could come back.
In Canada we celebrate Thanksgiving on your Columbus day. I think since we can date european settlements in Canada to about 400 years before Columbus got lost and assumed he was in India we find celebrating Columbus rather foolhardy.
Columbus Day isn't about Columbus. It's about the discovery of two new continents that nobody knew were there. It's about how much and how irreversibly that changed the world--and that is indeed worth celebration.
@KungfuCow5 I was referring to North and South America as separate continents. I understand that there are some schools of thought which hold them to be one--There are, however, many people who believe they are two, and I am one of them.
Yeah, my school district has the choice between giving us a day off for Columbus day or giving us a day off for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and usually they pick the latter because he wasn't sort of awful.
@purplep30pl3eater Well, it's sort of like this, some people say "Hey! This great man found America and made it great in the name of all that is good!" while some (including myself) realize he was a brute leader who committed genocide on American Indians, then stole a lot of riches. Apparently that's something to celebrate over by not having school or work.
@purplep30pl3eater Oh ho! It's the day we Americans celebrate the voyage of Christopher Columbus; a man who miscalculated the size of the Earth and very nearly died with all of his crew, before running into Cuba. He is largely responsible for the silly practice of referring to the Native peoples of America as "Indians", while referring to actual Indians as "East Indians". It is slightly similar to the American practice of claiming that English people speak their own language with an accent.
@purplep30pl3eater A totally pointless holiday celebrating one of the biggest blunders in navigational history? I don't like it because I don't get off work or out of school. Screw you adulthood!
National -Whatever-Blah- Days are not holidays. A holiday is a celebration or some sort of time taken off. Those other days are just meaningless attributions.
You think that Columbus Day is silly? Here in Melbourne, Australia we have a public holiday on the first Tuesday of November called Melbourne Cup Day where we basically get to skip work to go watch and bet on a horse race. But hey, no complaints here, we get a day off!
My school doesn't get Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Presidents Day, or Martin Luther King Day off. We do have a program for Veterans Day though. Last year I had to recite a speech in it.
We don't get Columbus day off... we do get veterans day off though. The one time we got Columbus day off we didn't get veterans day, and the vets complained
4/5, this is quite bi-winning for me. This is my FAVOURITE game show, the COLOURS are quite interesting. ALUMINIUM is a good metal, but eating it made me go to the LAVATORY. It makes me feel like hitting my head on BITUMEN which is located next to the FOOTPATH (which is common to both but you know). No OFFENCE Americans.
ohhhh, the great columbus day debate.... on another note, the plural form of mother-in-law is mothers-in-law, not mother-in-laws. sorry, grammar geek in me had to come out.
The county I live in is predominantly Native American, so we don't get the day off. I'm actually happy that we don't recognize the "importance" of that so-called holiday.
Oh in my AP US History class we call Columbus day "Indian Genocide Day" because when Columbus came over, he and his men killed all of the Native Americans. Columbus even tested his swords' strength by cutting off the fingers of Native American children. Wow. What a wonderful guy to have a holiday for. Hey, at least we have no school.
