As long as you ignore the hornless vikings who beat him by five hundred years...

[Graidon Mabson]

Lol at all the libertarians who are pissed about the comment concerning taxes.

[Evan Dumbleton]

@annaelizabeth1995 actually you're wrong. Im judging him based on the fact that he judges others. He is judging me (as I did latin) based on nothing.

[annaelizabeth1995]

you're getting angry at someone for judging others (eg the british for learning latin) yet you are judging him and calling him a cunt when all you know of him is the videos he makes :')

[annaelizabeth1995]

didnt he actually discover the west indies and not actually reach america itself but instead thought hed found india, hence the name the west indies?

[coTECHppls]

This guy is a fucking cunt. Why does he have to talk down to so many people? I didnt ''waste my time' learning latin. Its very useful. So fuck yourself grey you cunt

And the Chinese, who beat him by sixty-one years.

At the same time they discovered Australia and Antarctica.

They used 800 ships, two of which were the size of small aircraft carriers.

The fleet involved 20,000 men and women, some of whom settled peaceably among the North American indians. They settled along the voyage at way points to establish their longitude more precisely.

They ignored Europe and the Mediterranean.

It's not impractical and they aren't random lol As much as I recall the Samurai try to make their helmets (usually with a mask) look as scary as possible to strike fear into their enemies' mind in that old war times -_- (it's psychological warfare)

[MargunAngelo]

By retarded comment you post , you didn't learn your history into DETAIL enough . Anti-America is one thing, being retarded and try to overly simplify history is another .

[MargunAngelo]

That "Leif Eriksson" is THE VIKING you mentioned about -.- so you are probably talking about the same guy .

[MargunAngelo]

Aren't sir you a retard ?
