Yes, today you get to give thanks that in 1640 you had gunpowder and diseased blankets to use against the Native People who lived there so you could steal their land and spend the next 200 years marginalizing them and forcing them to live on impoverished reservations and almost nearly wiping out their cultures.
....but I'm sure the turkey, gravy, stuffing, sweet potatoes, green beans, corn pudding, pumpkin pie, and cranberry sauce is fucking delicious !!! :yippe:
Happy Thanksgiving!

So yes, Happy Thanksgiving!
Especially manda and simba! i am jealous of the turkey and potatoes, i cannot wait until christmas dinner...yummy!
Only a bit less than 5 weeks to go! :eek:
i cant wait, just hope we have a bit of snow!
4th Thursday in November i think.
OK, I need presents for 6 children, one husband, one MIL, Mum and Dad, three brothers, a sister and my three best friends. And enough food and drink to feed them all (you'll need two trolleys, probably two trips.)
Cheers bunny!
I'm half-American, so I've had my fair share of Thanksgiving dinners with the whole family. Many of my friends think of it as their favorite holiday by far - despite its roots, it's not regarded as an overtly religious holiday, you don't have to worry about buying gifts, it stems the onslaught of xmas paraphenalia in the shops (well, a little bit), and you get to tuck into three types of pie for dessert.
Fair point about the pillage against native americans. But it's been done for a bit longer than 200 years, unfortunately...
Anyway, happy thanksgiving!
It was meant in a tongue in cheek way.
I condone any killing act that means I can eat lots with no regrets and watch lots of football, and most of all, have a day off work.
Just kidding to anybody ignorant that didn't realize that I was
Aww thank you and thank you Bunny too!
I don't get to spend it with my family though Stupid work, gotta work on Friday... nobody works the day after thanksgiving So I couldn't go visit. *sad sigh*
I think its just an excuse for an early xmas dinner/day off.
Oh and happy Thanksgiving Manda
