Happy "whatever day you want it to be" day.
I celebrate Leif Erikson Day instead. Not only is he Norse like my ancestors, but he discovered North America 500 years before Columbus. And Leif Erickson Day has been official observed in Illinois, where I live, since 1956. It is an all around better holiday.

Damn... wish we had that here. :/
Edit: I may have spoke too soon. It might actually be recognized in Texas. I don't know. Trying to find out now.

You celebrate a person whose ancestors raped and pilliaged the Scottish and English People.
Adam is a HORRIBLE PERSON!

Originally posted by NemeBroHaha yeah. "Some people might call me a bigot anyway, so I may as well pretend to be a bigot." What madness is that?
"If you act like a bigot you'll be treated like a bigot" and "you don't need to act like a bigot or a racist to be treated like one" are not exclusive statements.
Also, another thing about the whole mentioning the Natives point: Isn't ignoring the Natives and what happened to them, specifically on Colombus Day, one of those "ignoring facts" things that Surtur despises so?

And then you justify them overreacting.
I'd settle.for just punching someone in the nose who calls you a bigot for no reason, but then you're a violent felon instead of a bigot.. Can't win, I guess. 🙂
Originally posted by cdtmIt's a shame that things are this way at the moment, even those firmly on the left are being branded nazi sympathisers by the more fanatical sects that have popped up, let alone anyone even vaguely right-wing or just centre. I'm hoping it all eventually blows over so that the sensible people can have a platform again without having to pander to reactionary crybabies.

It was the only thing you said, in a direct response to Scrib pointing out that you're against illegal immigration. Your failure to clarify your argument (and yes, by your own words you were actually arguing) further is your own failure, if indeed you're not merely lying to save face. Whether due to stunted skills at communication or genuine stupidity, you played yourself and lost the argument. 👆
