3. Early Portuguese Sailors. One way to the East seemed to be around the southern end of Africa if it should turn out that there was a southern end to that Dark Continent. In 1487 Portuguese seamen sailed around the southern end of Africa and, returning home, called that point the Cape of Storms. But the King of Portugal thought that now there was good hope of reaching India by sea. So he changed the name to Cape of Good Hope. Ten years later a brave Portuguese sailor, Vasco da Gama, actually reached India by the Cape of Good Hope, and returned safely to Portugal (1497).

Man, those Europeans were real slick. They’d send missionaries to Asia, and in return haul back silk, spices, gold, and silver - like, seriously, missionaries in exchange for spices?! So why not missionaries for Buddhist monks or Mullahs?

2. Early European Travelers. The people of Europe knew more of the lands of Asia than they knew of Vinland. For hundreds of years missionaries, traders, and travelers visited the Far East. They brought back to Europe silks and spices, and ornaments of gold and of silver. They told marvelous tales of rich lands and great princes. One of these travelers was a Venetian named Marco Polo. He told of Cathay or China and of Cipango or Japan. This last country was an island. Its king was so rich that even the floors of his palaces were of pure gold. Suddenly the Turks conquered the lands between Europe and the golden East. They put an end to this trading and traveling. New ways to India, China, and Japan must be found.

Good one. Lemme smoke a cigarette and see if I can crack this mystery.

Nah. Most likely they just asked Leif’s mom what color Eric was.

And how do we know Leif was the son of Eric the Red, not Eric the Blue?

A Short History of the United States for School Use by Edward Channing (Text, Audio). ------------------------------------- CHAPTER I THE EUROPEAN DISCOVERY OF AMERICA ------------------------------------- 1. Leif Ericson discovers America, 1000. In our early childhood many of us learned to repeat the lines: Columbus sailed the ocean blue In fourteen hundred, ninety-two. We thought that he was the first European to visit America. But nearly five hundred years before his time Leif Ericson had discovered the New World. He was a Northman and the son of Eric the Red. Eric had already founded a colony in Greenland, and Leif sailed from Norway to make him a visit. This was in the year 1000. Day after day Leif and his men were tossed about on the sea until they reached an unknown land where they found many grape-vines. They called it Vinland or Wineland. They Then sailed northward and reached Greenland in safety. Precisely where Vinland was is not known. But it certainly was part of North America. Leif Ericson, the Northman, was therefore the real discoverer of America.

As long as there are minions like you, we don’t have to bother pulling Buddhists off their yoga mats.

Well, that whole death penalty idea for Netanyahu and the army isn’t really realistic - they’ve got the backing of the U.S. and powerful European countries. But what’s coming next? Pretty soon, Trump will step in as the 'savior' of the Gaza people, playing out the Zionists’ plan to push Gazans out. Israel gets what it wants, starts building settlements in Gaza for Israelis, Trump strikes his hero pose in front of the cameras claiming he solved the Gaza crisis, and the Gazans are relocated to areas already set up by the U.S. and Israel - maybe even some shipped off to Jordan and neighboring countries.

No worries - at least now you know Chomsky. Next time you wanna play political science expert, try quoting him. Don’t worry, we won’t make fun of you… too much.

You don’t even know one of the greatest living philosophers in the world, one of the top critics of U.S. foreign policy, whose books have been published for decades in the U.S. and abroad… and then you go around calling everyone ‘dumb’ while acting like a political science expert? Dumb.

Man, you crack me up. Where do you even dig up tweets from these nutjobs? So one crazy tweet speaks for half a billion Arabs now?

Maybe you should ask an Arab? But, is it really like that? Do they hate Jews or do they hate Israel?

Yeah… you got me. You’re right.

If you weren’t an idiot, you wouldn’t be meddling in something that’s not your business (someone else’s signature), and you wouldn’t have said 'Looks like the genius is rebranded as undefeated' without knowing what’s going on in this forum.

You mean the same disservice that Jimmy is doing to American wrestling fans? Not a bad idea to take a look at American guys’ sig:

Oh wow, in Iran we have tons of jokes and sayings about mothers-in-law. We even have a type of cactus with long, dangerous spines that no one can get near - we call it the 'mother-in-law’s tongue . I’ve attached a photo of it below.

You write in your sig "I’m a Trump minion," and see if I complain? Here, in this thread, I’m only talking wrestling. If you really want to discuss my sig, go to the Non Wrestling Topics forum.

I’m with you on that one. But the folks saying this stuff don’t actually know where we stand - their whole point is just to insult us in the worst way possible. I never thought I’d end up using a slogan I’ve always been against, just to push back against a bunch of racists.
