THE controversy as to the priority of discovery and the honor of |
|
bestowing a name on the New World has been so long undecided, � |
|
almost three centuries, � that any light thrown upon this |
|
intricate problem may help its true solution, if the truth be |
|
discoverable at this late day; and with this hope I offer the |
|
following contribution. |
|
[B]Americ, Amerrique, or Amerique is the name in Nicaragua for |
|
the high land or mountain range [/b]that lies between Juigalpa |
|
and Libertad, in the province of Chontales, and which reaches on |
|
the one side into the country of the Careas Indians, and on the |
|
other into that of the Ramas Indians. The Rios Mico, Artigua, |
|
and Carca, that form the Rio Blewfields; the Rio Grande |
|
Matagalpa, and the Rios Rama and Indio, that flow directly into |
|
the Atlantic; as well as the Rios Comoapa, Mayales, Acoyapa, |
|
Ajocuapa, Oyale, and Terpenaguatapa, flowing into the Lake of |
|
Nicaragua, all have their sources in the Americ range.1 |

Cue Eurocentrism in the comments: |
|
[quote]The first time I visited Europe was in 1984 and the first |
|
thing I had to do was go to the toilet, in Schiphol Airport. I |
|
immediately noticed that the toilet was a small "roomette", not |
|
a flimsy, rickety piece of crap with see-through cracks, and a |
|
foot and a half space off the floor. |
|
... |
|
And in Europe? It all works, and many toilets have a staff right |
|
there to keep the places clean. |
|
After I went to the loo in 1984, I had a cup of coffee at a |
|
little stand at the airport. And the coffee tasted good! It |
|
wasn't watery and oily and sour like so much American |
|
coffee![/quote] |
|
[quote]Feels terrible since no matter how much we make or save |
|
we can never match what Europeans make.[/quote] |
|
[quote]Why the fuck would a Swede ever move to the United |
|
States?[/quote] |
|
[quote]I�m not saying this in a rude way; but is there a way for |
|
you to get back to Sweden and just stay there? I can�t imagine |
|
the culture shock of being here compared to Sweden.[/quote] |
|
[quote]With how terrible drivers are in Florida, I wouldn�t |
|
place my life on a bicycle path. The ones in Denmark are much |
|
more efficient and organized.[/quote] |
|
[quote]Having just returned from a month long visit to Europe - |
|
including a few days in Sverige - I am fighting a major |
|
depression at being back.[/quote] |

It's easy to blame guns, but that's just the means of how people |
|
achieve their goal of killing / trying to kill. But why do our |
|
citizens want to kill each other so much in the first place? Why |
|
do we have such a disregard for human life? |

It was built on violence. From the settlers ignoring the |
|
government to continue to violate the agreements with the |
|
indigenous, to the settlers ignoring the government to invade |
|
Mexico. To the civil war. |
