eligibilitydude: tell me the questions
relientkbandgeek: ohhhh
relientkbandgeek: ok
eligibilitydude: unless you really doubt my ability to help
eligibilitydude: :-)
relientkbandgeek: 1. why were people so upset about preparations for the columbus day 500th anniversary? what are the primary issues at stake?
relientkbandgeek: 2. how did the library of congress exhibit attempt to address the concerns of indigenous peoples? evaluate this exhibit. is this what you would have expected for the commemoration of the 500th anniversary of columbus' voyage?
relientkbandgeek: 3. should we celebrate columbus day with a national holiday every year? describe at least 5 reasons why and three reasons why not (with evidence). what side do you find more convincing?
relientkbandgeek: 4. what insights does this debate give you about the value of history and about the role of history in our society?
relientkbandgeek: lol
relientkbandgeek: and thats my paper
eligibilitydude: I could do it in ten minutes
eligibilitydude: questions number one, for example
relientkbandgeek: 10 minutes???
relientkbandgeek: wow
eligibilitydude: yeah
eligibilitydude: OK, columbus day anniversary equals what?
eligibilitydude: parade
eligibilitydude: parade equals floats
eligibilitydude: Now, picture yourself on the sidewalk eating cotton candy with 400 gazillion perfect strangers
relientkbandgeek: mmm i like cotton candy
relientkbandgeek: lol
eligibilitydude: do you want to see a float of an italian explorer wearing a commodore jones outfit, or the obvious alternative?
eligibilitydude: Spongebob!
relientkbandgeek: haha spongebob. nice.
eligibilitydude: right... soooooooo
eligibilitydude: why were people upset about preparations for the 500th columbus day ann?
eligibilitydude: No spongebob!
relientkbandgeek: if i could actually use that in my paper, i would
relientkbandgeek: thats hilarious
eligibilitydude: Too much famous explorer, not enough deep sea humor
eligibilitydude: that is what is wrong with the world
eligibilitydude: :-)
relientkbandgeek: everything could be fixed by just adding a little spongebob
relientkbandgeek: lol
relientkbandgeek: i'm not sure i've ever actually seen that show
eligibilitydude: haha... it's overrated
eligibilitydude: but he is great in the parade
eligibilitydude: So, you're saying my profound answer is no good for your paper? :-)
