No more Good Friday or Columbus day. Even in the red crummy state of Indiana, where I lived for quite some time. Why is it so hard for some people to assimilate in the country they want to live?
i didn't realize that either of those were celebrated holidays anyway. i couldn't even tell you when columbus day is. sometime in the fall, apparently.
Who cares what the city may refer to them as? If you celebrate Good Friday, I doubt you do so with the whole god damn city. And who the fuck celebrates Columbus Day, other than getting a day off from work?
who the fuck gets a day off from work for columbus day, other than government workers who get a day off every other week for some stupid fake holiday?
good friday is about a religion that has no direct connection with my own life. wasn't aware it had any connection with secular government. (the day, not the religion) columbus was one of those, europe wasn't sending their best people. if he hadn't committed genocide in the carribian, because it got in his way, he would have done the same in india, or wherever he would have ended up if the western hemisphere hadn't been here. for spring and fall, the tilt and orbit of the earth provide the virnal and autumnal equanoxi (and likewise winter and summer solstice)
why is it so hard for some people to understand, that when someone leaves a country where they were born, that was their home all their lives, often with little more then they can carry on their back, because people there are killing each other, whatever country they are able to flee to, might not have very much to do with where they "want" to live? when trump gets done with it, america isn't going to need a wall to keep people out, its going to need a wall to keep people in.
Always the same kind of people that complain about immigrants coming from countries where they are killing each other and in other threads complain about Americans killing each other.
