Yes. I didn't even have the day off which shows how pointless it is.

Hey, anytime I get a paid day off is not pointless! I see what you are saying, but most "holidays" are just commercial exploitations anyway. I don't see the point to most of them, but I enjoy celebrating and having time off, so I go with the flow.

Yes especially since Columbus really didn't discover America. In fact he never stepped foot on American soil. So I agree...pointless.

the main pointless debate contained in u . s . of america right this moment is honestly the only maximum persons anticipate is over even even though it has on no account been introduced . . . . . . . . . Is Dubya an entire fool? all of us comprehend he's an fool, we are only uncertain if he's an entire one. there are cases i think of he's a few brick in need of a load and the the remainder of the time i'm specific of it.

In my opinion it is pointless in a way because we didn't get a day out of school but then again we don't even have off on my birthday and that IS NOT pointless...quite meaningful I should say lol

Of days taken off, yes, but not the most pointless

I would have to say that it is because he is credited with discovering America and now we know the Vikings were probably here before him and what about all the indigenous population that settled here thousands of year ago. But it gives federal emploees another 3 day weekend.

This one. I would support getting rid of Columbus day in favor of Juan Ponce de Leon day, in honor of the first European to set foot on US soil.

Kind of. I'm mexican so i'm not from europe so I would probably be in U.S. and even if I wan't here, I would still be happy in mexico.
Though, I do think we shouldn't have school this day. ( :
