<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2444529, member: 39&quot;]Don&#039;t think there is anything wrong with honoring Columbus in the US, be it with a coin or a holiday. But of course his achievements were &quot;discoveries&quot; from a European POV, not for those who already lived in the parts of the world that he explored. And for people who later came to North America from Asia, Columbus was probably not too relevant either ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Have a look at printing: Around here Gutenberg is usually honored as the man who invented printing with movable types. Well, similar technologies had already been developed in parts of Asia. But this was new in Europe, and quickly became much more common here than it was in China for example. Matter of perspective. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
