Christopher Columbus: Great Italian Explorer or Murdering Thief?

[Rudyo]

The school systems teach you that Christopher Columbus was a great man, the real man however was a damn murdering pirate.

Where does such a historical figure stand with you?

straight euro-trash.

For the record, colombus was a great explorer and a murdering thief, but that is part of the job description when you wanna be a legendary conquistador.


Those guys don't pussyfoot around.

so is he a murderer or isn't he you confused, contradictory, basement dwelling, e-thug.

Christopher Columbus and the rest of the pirates like Cortez from Europe are responsible for the death of thousands of years of culture and were responsible for the the suffering and deaths of thousands of innocent people.

You are the biggest piece of dog **** to ever post here. You don't have an opinion, you just type nonsense over and over.

So let me get this straight, as long as you achieve "great" things, it's ok if you murder and destroy entire civilizations in order to do it? The cost of greatness might be the bloodshed of innocents but fuk it right? That's why Hilter was so great in your eyes.....

Funny how the same logic doesn't apply the other way around. So if the policies of this country throughout it's existence have landed it where it is today, shouldn't you just accept those as well?

If Mexicans are crossing illegally, isn't that just a result of the incompetence of the govt? So fuk them to and they should be allowed to take over as well...no? Because greatness should be rewarded at all costs and failure should be condemned and allowed to reap what it has sowed.

The truth is, Christopher Columbus was a great explorer who did great things because he had the balls to cross the Atlantic and FIND (because you can't discover something that already was known to people for thousands of years) America.

He used the wealth of the church to fund his expedition but then instead of being a man of science he allowed the murder and destruction of millions of people for his personal gain, wealth and benefit.

Fuk Christopher Colombus and all the conquistadores after him. They exploited millions for their own personal wealth and the system they created, still is in existence in Latin America to this day and has directly influenced the corruption and oppression of millions.

They brought disease, oppression and slavery to America. Fuk all of them.
