Thanksgiving commorates the end of the first year after the Pilgrms landed at Plymouth Mass. in 1621 or whatever. It became an official national holiday in 1941. Americans get together with family and friends eat insane amounts of food. Traditionally the food includes: turkey, stuffing, gravy, green bean caserole, cranberry sauce, rolls, and lots of pie. The weekend after Thanksgiving is the biggest shopping days of the year.d11wtq wrote:Hi, I'm *really* showing my ignorance here.... I'm from the UK (and I live a sheltered life).

You can't apply 20th century thought to 17th century history. While the treatment of America's natives was horrible, I don't think anything can be gained by judging 17th Century settlers with 20th century thought.shiznatix wrote:its to celebrate the beginning of the slaughter of the native americans by european settlers in america.d11wtq wrote:Hi, I'm *really* showing my ignorance here....

Think again, he is directly responsible for deaths of many American soldiers, and innocent Iraqis, that aside his policy towards the environment will indirectly kill millions of our descendants. Depleted uranium used as ammunition releases a chemical that has a half-life of 4.5 billion years. Just look at gulf war syndrome.neophyte wrote:Compared to those nefarious individuals G.W.

Come on, give it a reast already, Bush has been beaten to death. Let the man finish his second term, and vote for someone else. Happy Thanksgiving to all the Americans, Canadian Thanksgiving was over a month ago.jshpro2 wrote:Think again, he is directly responsible for deaths of many American soldiers, and innocent Iraqis, that aside his policy towards the environment will indirectly kill millions of our descendants.
