    i suggest wikipedia.com

    this is such a point of view question. just find facts and say what you think about them.

    Because Columbus is a fucking hack and should not be credited what so ever for the discovery of our country. Man died alone, poor and miserable... just how the memory of him should be.

    Regardless of the reasons not to or to celebrate (i think mostly horrible person vs. historical significance), what would a celebration of columbus day entail other than not having to go to school if you're in high school?

    It's not really about what we would do to celebrate him, it is the fact that our country still feels the need to celebrate a horrible man who exploited the natives of this country to get his own way with the king and queen overseas.. That he infact landed in a place that was not India but still did not realize this even though everything around him should have been a giant alarm... the fact that many had come before him (vikings, daring fisherman, and maybe even the Chinese in the 1500's). Every year this country celebrates a man who for all intents and purposes was a loser, someone who never did a single thing right in his life and died miserable and alone for it.

    We celebrate for someone who got lost and thought he was in India.

    Columbus was a monster. If we celebrate his legacy, why not celebrate the transatlantic slave trade, too?
