Happy Thanksgiving

[brad.dude03]

Ehm, not quite sure what there is exactly to harvest in March, but whatever, them English always were crazy xD

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

I am thankful to have such nice things in the US, like warning shots.

(Thanks, Yakov Smirnoff!)

I know it isnt Thanksgiving for me right now, it was yesterday. But Im thankful for PIE. AND CHEESECAKE. AND FARTING IN MY BRO'S FACE Lol CAPS.

 

[Sacrimo]

FARTING IN MY BRO'S FACE Lol CAPS.

Judging from your avatar, you would go to jail for doing that...Well have a happy After Thanksgiving everyone!

 

[Ralle]

No one celebrates thanksgiving in Denmark. But since most of you guys (around 90%) are Americans. I will have to adapt you see.

 

[Pyritie]

I wouldn't say 90%. More like 70%.

But yeah, a lot. And personally I don't see the point of thanksgiving if all they did afterwards was slaughter the indians.

 

[brad.dude03]

That's a very biased and stereotypical thing to say. Not EVERY American hated the aboriginals and tried to kill them.

 

[Pyritie]

Still though. You get my point.

 

[PurplePoot]

Nah, brad's right.

Don't read the news much (got a link directly to the forums on my links bar...), but happy belated thanksgiving, even if it was over a month ago in Canada where I live!

That's a very biased and stereotypical thing to say. Not EVERY American hated the aboriginals and tried to kill them.

Yeah! Some just wanted to take their land and rape their women!

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

And what's wrong with that?

 

[brad.dude03]

Exactly, every man needs land and women to rape.

 

[Pyritie]

It's the fact that they made a national holiday about that.

 

[Sacrimo]

With Turkey to advertise

but seriously Thanksgiving was celebrated by the Indians first I think...then some jacked up ass hole white men came and killed them and raped there women...while eating turkey.

Kind of a wierd holiday, I wonder what Harvest-Day is like.

 

[brad.dude03]

Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is a traditional North American holiday to give thanks for the things that one has at the conclusion of the harvest season. Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States and on the second Monday of October in Canada.

Where at all in there does it say that the holiday was created for killing Indians? Check your facts, it's called THANKS GIVING. GIVING THANKS FOR THE HARVEST. That's why it's at a different time in Canada and the States because our harvest falls at different times due to different climates.

In Britain, thanks have been given for successful harvests since pagan times. The celebrations on this day usually include singing hymns, praying and decorating churches with baskets of fruit and food in the festival known as Harvest Festival or Harvest Home or Harvest Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving.

In British churches, chapels, and schools people bring in food from the garden, the allotment or farm. The food is often distributed among the poor and senior citizens of the local community, or used to raise funds for the church, or charity.

In the USA and Canada, the festival is set on a certain day and has become a National Holiday known as Thanksgiving. In North America it has become a national secular holiday with religious origins, but in Britain it remains a Church festival giving thanks to God for the harvest.

That's what Harvest Festival is like, no bloody holidays, no turkey, it's just a boring and religious day where we are begged to bring in money and a piece of fruit. Wow...

 

[brad.dude03]

Yes, and that's because your holidays aren't near as sadly commercialised as Western ones.

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

And what's wrong with that?

Who said anything was?

You know what would be an awesome holiday? Capitalism Day.

 

[donut3.5]

It's called Christmas.

[Pyritie]

And easter. Easter's been very commercialized too.

 

[brad.dude03]

Easter isn't that bad, as Christians DO celebrate the death and rssurrection of Jesus, but what I don't get is where the hell that fucking bunny came from? I mean how the HELL is the Easter Bunny at all related to Easter?

Its just some weird thing that started, kinda like with santa when people would begin to associate eggs together and having rabbits dressed up with eggs when people were doing egg hunts or some retarded shit....i think.

 

[PurplePoot]

South Park did a great episode where it turns out that actually, the bunny was one of Jesus's disciples (Peter, hence Peter Rabbit), my god...

("Fantastic Easter Special")

Anyways, yes, most holidays are insanely commercialized. Not really thanksgiving though.

 

[brad.dude03]

I could swear I already brought that up somewhere, it's a great episode.

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

It's called fertility. Rabbits tend to zerg rush with babies, and eggs are, well, eggs.

 

[Sacrimo]

Happy Long after thanksgiving, the turkey I had is all in the ocean by now >.>

Mice zerg faster.

Never heard of the phrase "to zerg rush with babies" though. Funny.
