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.
