Happy Freaking Thanksgiving U Bastards....

[Pisis]

Stupid statement Pisis

Agreed. What was the point of that, Pisis? Killing, enslavement, and colonization are as old as mankind. They occurred on every continent throughout our long sad history, so I fail to see the point of trying to ruin a perfectly harmless holiday with the kind of sh*t you just posted. You think the Czech Republic was the exception to the rule or something?

Exactly very well said. How about we go ahead and Cancel all Hollidays Pisis because I am sure that somewhere in that holliday there was something that was not quite right.

I'm sorry if I insulted someone, I didn't mean it this way, really.

I was just trying to point out onna fact that Indian culture was almost vanished because of colonization. Not only in the US but also in South America.

I just saw many films (Winnetou) from Karl May about Indians and read an article about what happened in the US during the 60-70 (AIM - American Indidan Movement).

And I thought the Thanksgiving Day is connected with Indians... Or it isn't?

And as to the Czecho...... they never did a conquery war, only self defensive.........

Please accept my apologizes if I have hit anyone with my words.

The first thanksgiving was celebrated together with Native Americans. However Thanksgiving is a holiday to be greatful for the good in your life and the things that you have been given in life. It is not a day to ruin with comments about negative things.

It's the same thing in Canada, even though we celebrate it in early October instead of late November. I don't think natives ever really played a big part in Thanksgiving here though. Not that I recall anyway.

Well, I think it's mostly an English holiday... It's not really celebrated in my region.

Anyway, Happy (late) Thanksgiving.

I think you're right. Not too many French-Canadians celebrate it. I personally know one guy who does, but he's from Nova Scotia not Québec.

 

[Pisis]

Yea, I know it was celebrated with natives and colonizators...... Some English captain and an Indian chief. But don't remember where.

Here it is not celebrated, of course. Also I didn't noticed any references about it here.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Well either way it is my favorite holliday.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

what? we don't celebrate thanks giving over here??...........

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I think he was saying that it was mostly english as in English Canadain or English American since the French Canadians dont celebrate it.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

ah........

Exactly.

I despise Turkey and pumpkin pie anyway. I'd take Hot German potato salad mit Wurst in a flash any day with a nice glas of Weiß Wein

 

[P38 Pilot]

Happy LATE Thanksgiving day! I sure do love to turkey hunt, especially down here in Alabama! Yeah, ill be having turkey soup for a LONG time!

I just ate that actually. Some good Rot Wurst and some good pototo salad at the Weinachtsmarkt in the town where I live. I love this time of the year. I did not drink a Weiss Wein but rather a Gluehwein.

 

[Crippen]
