Guest Taxed Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 There have been many in human history who never asked for direction and made it to their destination. Moses is another example (My Jewish friends, I am not insulting you guys). It is just in jest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILLMAS Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Columbus is also credited for introducing STDs and what not . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Taxed Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Do we know if Columbus himself suffered from STD? ( I mean he was a sailor??) We all know from our history books that the new world did not have STD and many other diseases that were carried by the newly arrived immigrants from Europe.

Gail in Virginia Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 I knew most of the stuff about Columbus, having read Lies My Teacher Told Me, but I found the part about Bartolome de las Casas interesting. Hooray for Bartolome Day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
