We've already established that Christopher Columbus is losing the day. Who should get it instead. What answer is better than Explorers and Immigrants Day?

Do you have a problem with people coming to America from other countries?

Really? I would like to believe that you know MANY government workers aren't just pen pushers. You should thank government workers for being alive, having teeth, and not shitting yourself every few days.

You aren't making much sense. Indigenous simply means "ORIGINAL". Thus Indigenous Day is merely a celebration of those that helped comprised the original people of this country. No one besides you (and I wonder why by the way) feels the need to "discover" whom this particular group of people happens to be. "WE" know that no one in the group was Christopher Columbus.

The more that this is discussed the more that it becomes readily apparent that MANY people here are dismayed by the fact that the bogus holiday was snatched away from Christopher Columbus.

I think I'd do fine without government workers. I don't mind shitting in an outhouse.

The indigenous lost. The United States of Kissmyass doesn't celebrate losers. If you can't even hold on to Oklahoma, what good are you?

So, your issue with my argument is that I want to know who the group of people actually is that we are naming a holiday after?

Let's say my kid comes home today and says "Who are we celebrating for Indigenous People Day?" and I respond "No one knows besides that it's not Christopher Columbus"? Is that correct?

Without the "protections" of Government, your "cushy" 401k plan would have gone belly up decades ago. Not to mention the value of your home as well. But NO ONE IS EVER SUPPOSED TO KNOW.

When I am supposed to take time in my day to recognize the accomplishments of a person or group I want to know who or what that person or group actually is.

Then you should have no problem with "knowing" that the "accomplishment" of Columbus really was not much of an "accomplishment" at all.

Provided you’re from here you can celebrate yourself.

Now that would be a first!!!

It literally is a "synonym" for "original".

As opposed to Jorr? or you?

I've met you, and I doubt it would be knocking at the door of 60 without government. That isn't a knock on you. MANY of us wouldn't be alive or enjoy anywhere near the quality of life that we do without government and government workers.

Without Gov't, those rather pristine bike paths that Jorr is so proud of riding would be either non existent or rocky as hell. Funny how a "well read" guy such as himself neglects to ever have mentioned this.

I think I could survive in the woods. It's not something I think would be fun though.

Anyway, I'm not anti-government, like some crazy Libertarian going on about roads and sidewalks. But when government workers are enjoying perks and privileges that those who provide the funds for them are not, you're heading down a bad path. That isn't sustainable.

It is because of "public education" that the majority of the people in this country actually became literate. Can you provide anything of a similar note that a capitalist thief such as yourself ever has happened to "produce" or "contribute to society"?
In fact, other than cheating on your taxes and exploiting the shit out of the few "workers" that you have, what is it that a guy such as yourself actually does to contribute to society? Keep CFMB afloat?

I hear you, but I don't find a random day off to be some great perk. Besides, if we look hard enough, we could find something that others "enjoy" that we think we should.

We revere police and firemen. Few people would consider them government. Most police never fire a weapon in a 20+ year career, and most firefighters never have to go inside a burning building. They're great gigs to have. They also get far more perks than we do in addition to our tax dollars. I have no problem with it.
