I think you might be a few years younger than me (maybe things changed in that time span), and Landlord grew up in a town of like 7 people. It probably depends a lot on the district. I understand your point on the taxes but I'm 99.9% sure I never heard anything negative about Columbus in school. Link to comment

Maybe I'm just good at remembering weird random stuff. Link to comment

Maybe I'm just good at remembering weird random stuff. and I'm not that good at it... so maybe I'm remembering all of this wrong . For some reason I thought you were ~5 years younger than me. I will say we definitely learned about things like Native Americans being given infected blankets. Link to comment

Landlord Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I mean to be fair I grew up in Columbus and the mascot is the Discoverers, so I don't think it behooved the culture to shoot straight about Columbus' deeds lol 1 Link to comment

I didn't mean because you are super immature but because I thought that's what you had said at some point. Uh, weird topic to talk about this but does anyone else ever wonder if we're gonna be posting here in 40 years? 2 minutes ago, Landlord said: I mean to be fair I grew up in Columbus and the mascot is the Discoverers, so I don't think it behooved the culture to shoot straight about Columbus' deeds lol Now the truth comes out. And Columbus is bigger than my hometown... for some reason I thought you grew up in a really rural town. Apparently my Huskerboarder trivia game is really bad. Link to comment

I could see someone picking up on a little toxic masculinity, but dumb? I said it'd go differently in other parts of the country....and it certainly would. 1 Link to comment

Not saying I want it to happen, but the thought experiment of just 100 people “invading” my hometown makes me laugh. The one cop on duty would s#!t his pants! I can’t imagine anyone i grew up with shooting someone for stealing Doritos from the local gas station... the guys i went to school with that talk the biggest game were turds in HS. They were scared of the school secretary, Link to comment

I'm guessing those schools would be less likely to teach about something like that. But mine was the same way. Link to comment
