  1. People say they "discovered" a great little restaurant while on vacation. You need to relax.

  2. "A lot of technology you have today comes from pretty evil people" you got that right. War is the single biggest contributor to new technology.

  3. "Columbus didn't discover America, it wasn't lost,". Look up the definition of "discover" in any dictionary. Pick any dictionary you want. NDT's definition is correct according to every one of them.

  4. He did discover it, by definition. Look up, in any dictionary you want, the definition of "discover". What CC did was absolutely "discovering".

  5. If you bring a pizza to a party, but instead of actually going inside somebody meets you at your car and you hand it off to them and drive away, you'll still get credit for bringing the pizza.

  6. So the third group didn't "discover" America, the second peoples to get there did? What about the people who were ALREADY THERE?!

  7. You listened to a talk about oceanic travel and ranted about credit cards in all caps?

  8. "what's the definition of discovering?" Me thinks you need to go to ANY dictionary you can get your hand on and look up the definition of Discover. If you're going to spout off about people being ignorant about a definition, at least take the 15 seconds required to research it yourself first *palmface *

  12. So NASA is all full of devious lies.....except when they make a statement that might support your cause? How convenient!

  13. Malaria is the all time biggest killer in history, by leaps and bounds, and it's not even close.

  14. FFS I can't believe how many people are making this claim. Goddamn it people: USE THE SAME COMPUTER YOU ARE ON TO ACTUALLY LOOK UP THE DEFINITION OF THE FUCKING WORD!!!!!! Sorry, but after seeing 30 people post this same ignorant thing I get annoyed. "Discovered" is the exact, proper term for what he did according to every major dictionary.

  15. Are you the type who says a person's name after every point you make? That's insufferable.

  16. Where does NDT say that Natives were not already there? Please direct quote.

  17. Really? In your whole life you've never once heard anything more ignorant? Ever?

  18. And to what ends does this shadowy "they" have? "Let's have the science guy convince them of lies about a man from half a millennia ago because reasons". Yup, checks out. He's evil alright. What a shill!

  19. " it never devastated the population because he more than likely killed the women after said rape". So your "fact" is, by your own admission, pure speculation?

  20. Yes, you fucking idiot. That's actually the definition of the word. Sorry to be harsh, but goddamn. A 5 second Googling of the definition would've got you there. What he did, by every single dictionary definition, was discover America.

  21. For the same reason you can go on vacation and "discover" a cool little restaurant or bookstore. The definition is correct according to every dictionary you can get your hands on.

  22. And where is the Caribbean? Oh that's right, it's in North America.
