First of all.. once we started learning about Christopher Columbus in school, I was already like WHAT THE?!- this doesn´t make ANY sense.. how.. why..!??! And I remember my deskmate whispering to me: "Ssh! you´ll get thrown out of the class!"
I couldn´t just sit there! I HAD TO SAY SOMETHING! So yeah.. I proved him wrong, I didn´t get thrown out of the class! but.. teacher just kinda told me to shut up, 'cause she thought I was trying to be a smartass and.. basically she was right and then just continued talking.
Nothing´s changed! Still a big mystery to me - how can you discover a land that already exists with people living there? It´s just like me going to Finland now and saying: AHA! I discovered this place for ME, because I live in the world of ME, all you bitches are mine now! And I´m naming this land after the boat I came here with! - SuperSeaCat Four!
I started with C.C. because.. whiteys are immigrants also and the meaning of "il/legal" is just something people nowadays thought up and "in the presence of god" it basically has the same meaning as the word shit - well, I hope not EXACTLY, but somewhere close.
When mexicans just came to USA to do the "easy&cheap labor" locals were thrilled.. but when they started having kids who eventually started taking university spots and high-paying jobs, then whiteys started complaining about the "illegal aliens." Instead of ranting and trying to prevent the unpreventable - WORK HARDER! Study & DO something to improve yourself. A lot of people just give up and start whining, KNOWING that this kind of behavior will eventually get you.. NOWHERE!
The following is graved on the exterior of the pedestal on Statue of Liberty, NY - if you don´t MEAN it, for gods sake - REMOVE IT THEN! I know you have to go along with time, but there just are some principles that shouldn´t ever be messed with.
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

ya...i know wat u mean by SMARTASS... i also try to do that
by the way
"how can you discover a land that already exists....came here with! - SuperSeaCat Four!" this part was so funny...
History also often leaves out how awful of a person Chris Columbus was, treated the slaves like crap and made that awful film version of Rent.
Maybe I've mixed him up with the director?
@Irtiza: haha, thanks a lot!:)
@B; HAHA :p but yeah, the history books are written by the people who have slaved others - I won´t be surprised if Russia will release history books about Georgia saying that oh, we went there and saved our people and had like 1 or 2 casualties- and they attacked us before we attacked them! etc
fucked up world :p
well u have some readers and thts good but your alexa rank is very low and i think you need to pull it up.......
The Way It Is
ray: well russia won't get away with it, but that's exactly what they do; first lie to themselves then everyone else.
@only for biz: yeah, I´m more of a writer, but I´m trying to do everything in my power, thanks!=)
@B: unfortunately a lot of good people believe the lies and.. everything gets messed up and eventually everyone´s sad, god how I wish people would just stop fooling around.
nice post and good way of looking at things.
I guess history is written by those who win in the end.
This is interesting: "how do you discover a land that already exists with people living there?"
ha ha
But I think we are living in a world where the history is mostly Europeanized. If you notice the views of the natives of America doesnt even exist. Maybe they didnt write it down, maybe it wasnt in English, Portuguese, Spannish, maybe it was burned, or maybe it was plain suppressed.
I read somewhere that whites will be a minority in the US in a few decades.
Well the demographics of nations keeps changing. But it is the strong who always prevail and their view is what persists through the ages.
