Exactly. I was at school with at least one jew. You wouldn't have known it if she hadn't spoken about it. She also took part in all the Christmas & Easter stuff that went on in schools.

But people had ideas about other lands long before Columbus found those lands. Lands such as those existed at that time despite the lack of conclusive proof.
When a scientific theory first emerges, there are often plenty of people, scientists included, who do not agree with that theory. I would imagine one of the reasons for that lack of belief would be the lack of conclusive proof. Some theories prove to be correct, some do not. For those that are proven to be incorrect, there is conclusive proof of that. However, in the absence of conclusive proof, it is not possible to say with certainty that something is wrong/does not exist etc.
They had no idea the world was as big as it was, they knew of Asia, India and Africa as they travelled by land, Marco Polo being one example in the far east. They knew India had a vast ocean to it's east and they knew there was a vast ocean to the West. Columbus's theory was if he travelled far enough West he should land on the East coast of India. They had no idea the Americas existed until they landed there, you cannot search for something you know nothing about. Columbus didn't go to the Queen and say, give me money for some ships, I'm off to discover America, he was trying to find another way to India without going right round Africa or over land. You have to know what you're looking for before you look.
Schrodinger’s America.
I don't think they do have their own police force. They have a well-organised and well-established neighbourhood watch/citizen patrol group that is similar to the Guardian Angels, which gained fame in the US in the 1980s but they have no powers other than that of making a citizen's arrest, same as any citizen. It's simply that they have organised themselves in numbers.
People "really really" into works nights out/events.
I realise I'm probably the odd one out rather than the rest, but for me I go to work for 8 hours and leave at 5 on the dot to enjoy actual life.
Don't get me wrong, I get on with my colleagues and don't mind a drink with them every now and again, but we've just had a work event and for some it seemed to be the highlight of their life.
I'll add another entry,people "extremely" passionate about the company they work for.
Now, I fully understand it if the company is doing some life changing work and changing lives, however the North Korean esque levels of worship you get from some people for bog standard companies that wouldn't wait half a second to screw you over is something I'll never get.
Connor McGregor. What a pantomime.
Women wearing footwear they can't walk in.
I know the whole 'heels' thing has been around forever but this past couple of weeks in particular I've noticed women holding me up from getting down the stairs at work due to them physically not being able to walk in a normal motion because of the shoes or boots they have on.
Im guilty of being a people watcher and spend a lot of time waiting for buses in the town. Ive laughed more than once watching women struggle in their shoes. I can almost feel their pain sometimes. Fair entertains me :greengrin. (I live in trainers and if needs must i wear wedges.)
the ****er that put an aeroplane on a treadmill.
Guys wearing what looks like leggings underneath shorts when out for a run. I've got interest in the health benefits or whatever, you look ridiculous.
Got to say I'm disappointed. Practicality or not, it's a look more suited to a Jambo fashion sense. John Mcglynn would've been all over this if he was still there.
reused Jokes/comments, especially on social media whats that about :confused:
Things unrelated to the article or video you watch that make no sense along the lines of 'sometimes when im alone I cover myself in glitter and pretend im a snail' or variations of random things'
I follow (not sure why now tbh) NME on facebook, without a doubt someone will comment 'yeah, but what do the Gallagher brothers think of it' so they do publish a lot of Liam and Noel material, and the joke was maybe funny the first time, but for over a year I read it on every single article.
the ever classic 'you must be fun at parties' or 'I hear Harry kane is claiming that goal'
trolls in general on social media i guess.
Grown men in their 40’s who love everything MARVEL. To the point they actually think they are a super hero and they even buy man bags, wrist watches and some go to the extent of getting a tattoo. I wish I loved something that much :cb
