He got real mad when I said yes because he was American.[/QUOTE]

He should have been fired for teaching outside the curriculum anyways. Canadian schools aren't supposed to teach that Columbus did anything but get totally lost and end up on the wrong side of the world.

[QUOTE]Yeah, lmao. My German teacher was born in a small town in our state and only minored in German.

Yeah, definitely not qualified.[/QUOTE]

That's probably why you managed to misspell something like 'Wie Gehts' on MSN.

dammit... I feel overly stupid. I didn't even notice his location thing. I just read his post and quoted.

Well, America worries me... blah blah blah apathy...

Well at least you proved your apathy.

And the whole 'Columbus didn't discover America' thing is just pure smart-assery.

I just realised that no one cares or knows who discovered Australia, lol. At least, I don't know, anyway. ^--^

Jelle read moar, he emigrated from the US

Coke: Yeah he was an italian teacher and was trying to teach us stuff by talking about Columbus


IT HAZ BEENZ PROVENZ THAT THE HOMO ERECTUS WAS FIRST TO MAKE ITS TO AUSTRALIAZ and then evolved

my anthropology lesson from today

columbus is an okay city

A lot of Italian Americans tend to be proud of Columbus. There's no use arguing with them because you might find a baseball bat has been taken to your kneecaps before the night's end.

[QUOTE=Cocaine;15330768]Well at least you proved your apathy.[/QUOTE]

I generally am apathetic about things though. My friends will be like OMG BUSH IS RUINING AMERICA!!! or talk about gas prices or some world event, and I just find myself really not caring at all.

[QUOTE=Eliminator;15330779]columbus is an okay city[/QUOTE]
DEY DUN SHOT DIMEBAG!

We all know Sparatans discovered america.

Well, he didn't discover the country but he did help get it mapped out so the natives could be pooped all over.

He just happened to do it completely by mistake.

Yea but most people who run around saying that usually have no idea what they're talking about.

BUSH IS RUINING AMERICA CUZ, UM, HE'S AN IDIOT AND THE WAR IN IRAQ IS WRONG.

I'm not saying it's not true, I'm just saying it's something people say to show how many pointless facts they know.

He did bring America to the foreground of European civilisation, which is, as we all know, the most important one, and so, in that respect, he did, in a way, discover America, whether by accident or not.

omg a lot of commas

EDIT: fu cocaine, I worded it gooder

He wasn't even sailing for the Italians, though. Thats so stupid.

Badly used commas, I must add.

I wrote my major thesis in English last year on how Social and Political dilettantism werewas the Zeitgeist/s of the last 7 years. I worded it less badly n stuff though.

Possible, I'm not very good at punctuation. I don't think it's wrong, however. I think U are.

First comma is uncalled for. Sentence makes equal sense with or without it, nonetheless not putting it is more correct.

Second case, idem.

Third case, ibidem.

That's his writing style, it gives English posts some Belgian zing.

I disagree.

How come, all those stops cripple the reading and f‪uck the message up.
