A man who is wrongly portrayed as evil. He was not evil, racism was simply a fact of life back then. He also didn’t kill all native Americans, most of them died by disease.
Keep Christopher Columbus day! He was a smart man who gave birth to the modern Western Hemisphere. None of us Americans would be here without him. He didn’t slaughter all the Natives, disease killed them.

If you don’t believe in it, watch a video about Kiribati or Tuvalu or the Maldives. Rising seas are driving people out of their beloved countries. Soon, Florida and most of the US coast will go under. It’s not political, it’s a real problem. This is coming from a conservative, by the way.
Global warming is going to destroy humanity, society needs to get our head out of our ass and do something.

The man who made all Republicans, Conservatives, and Christians look like racist idiotic assholes. He's an absolute disgrace to us. He is not a real conservative, he doesn't love America, he's just doing this for publicity. It absolutely pisses me off when he does all his BS in the name of "God". Stop using the name of the lord in vain, you're a terrible person. He's better than democrats, but still a disgrace. He forever scarred the political right.

My sister-in-law ruined my wedding by demanding I pay for her wedding and starting a family fight. Of course my mother-in-law took her side.

An empire which existed from 1867 to 1918. It was created in 1867 after the Austrian Empire collapsed due to a Hungarian revolt and a compromise was reached to give the Hungarians equal power in the empire. The empire was made up of two roughly equal halves, the Austrian, mostly German speaking half, and the Hungarian, mostly Hungarian speaking half. The empire was plagued by tensions throughout its entire existence. It had a longstanding rivalry with the Russian Empire and the two often engaged in proxy wars in the Balkans. When the Ottoman Empire lost the Balkan war and its control over the Balkans, Austria-Hungary seized the opportunity and occupied Bosnia, which upset the Russians even more. In 1910, the empire annexed Bosnia, which upset Russia and Serbia, because Bosnia had many ethnic Serbs in it. Ethnic tensions soon began erupting in the empire, and it was on the verge of total collapse. Serbia hoped to destabilized the empire and acquire its Balkan lands, so it organized an assassination of the heir to the Austrian throne, Franz Ferdinand. Austria-Hungary then declared war on Serbia, Germany joined the war on Austria's side, but Russia and France joined the war on Serbia's side. Long story short, the war was a total disaster for the empire, and on top of that, the empire's ethnic minorities began revolting.
The empire basically came to a crashing and chaotic end in 1918 after its ethnic minorities took control of the most of the empire. The empire was then forced to pull out of World War I. In the subsequent peace treaties a year later, it was dismantled, but it had in reality already collapsed.
Often, the demise of Austria-Hungary is incorrectly attributed to World War I. The war itself, nor the peace treaties really dismantled the empire. The empire was already on the verge of collapse even before the war. The Empire started the war because they knew winning it was their only shot at being strong enough to hold their empire together. The Empire's demise was really because it was ethnically diverse and nationalism grew in those ethnic minorities, who were upset at the Germans and Hungarians dominating the empire.

A deliberate act designed to scare, annoy, harm, or kill someone, that is executed in a way that appears to be an accident and thus the person who committed the act ideally gets away with it.
An example: Johnny really hates his wife. She's the worst thing that ever happened to him. He wishes she could die. But he doesn't want to go through the divorce process. So Johnny waits for his wife to be at the top of the stairs, and when she is, he lifts her up and tosses her headfirst down the stairs. She passes away. Emergency services show up and she is pronounced dead. No one ever suspects Johnny murdered her, and even if they do, it's impossible to prove it. Johnny gets away with it and marries his mistress.

Because of these "faked accidents", murder rates are higher than officially counted. Countless people get away with murder and other crimes and they walk among us, completely unsuspected. Drew Peterson, a cop from Illinois, is a great example. He got away with drowning his wife in a bathtub until her body was reexamined 5 years later.

When someone simply will not budge or admit wrongdoing, despite knowing very well that they're wrong and that fact being plain obvious. When someone is being extremely stubborn for no reason, especially for something relatively minor, they have a stick up their ass.
Dave: Son I want you to go pick three dandelions and bring them back to me, I can't because my back hurts.
Son: No dad, I don't want to.
Dave: oh come on you can't just do it, it's three flowers son.
Son: No, I don't feel like it, do it yourself
Dave: Son, why do you have a stick up your ass? It's such an easy and simple task that you'd already be done with if you didn't argue with me.
