This thread is specifically about the attrocities of Christopher Columbus, yet people are outraged about the lack of the positive light on CC. I'm sure a post about how good Chritopher Columbus was would do fine, but that would be a different thread. This is about the poor decisions, selishness, and barbarism that CC carried out, and the resulting wars and deaths.
If you want a balance of good for the bad in this thread, go start The Acheivments of Christopher Columbus thread. This is about the attrocities.
If you want to move on, why are you posting? Are you telling other poeple to move on? You don't have to be bothered by reading about Christopher Columbus' terrible decisions. You can go whereever you want to go on TFP. You clicked on the title named "The Attrocities of Christopher Columbus". If you want people to move on, lead by example and stop trying to judge us for not ignoring a big part of our couyntries history.
"But Willravel, you can't just focus on the bad stuff. Yeah, it happened, but there was lots of other great stuff too! Move on!!" No. This thread isn't about moving on. This thread is about the attrocities of Christopher Columbus. Forgive us if we want to talk about the attrocities of Christopher Columbus in a thread called "The Attrocities of Christopher Columbus".
This also itn' about anyone apologizing. I'm sorry that Christopher Columbus was an assshole to the natives, but I know it wasn't my fault.
