  • :-0 you said "indian" ... OHHHHH NOOO!!!

  • @exconguitar oh damn...i meant to say "In-jun".

  • From 2:12 - 2:27, everything you said applies directly to the OWS protest today. Funny how some things never change.

  • @thereprieve The difference? 1) Nobody is threatening to kill the one percent to take their wealth from them. 2) The natives hadnt planned on pilgrims arriving and having to feed them, thus only stored for the winter what they needed for themselves. If they natives HAD given up all their stores, THEY would have starved to death over the winter. The 1% could feed this entire country 20 times over and still be rich off their asses. 3) The pilgrims didnt HAVE to rely on the natives for anything.

  • obviously you missed Brock's description of the glory of the Thanksgiving holiday.

  • @gothatfunk I miss almost all of whatever Brock has to say these days.

see all

  • My family doesn't celebrate Thanksgivings as an anniversary of the "first Thanksgiving.". We've created our own family tradition which has nothing to do with american lore. We do eat our share of turkey though...and ham and beef and duck and chicken. We even exchange gifts! Do you really know an actual family that reflects on so called first Thanksgiving?

  • hah... I had this very conversation earlier today about why I prefer to call it Turkey Day instead of Thanksgiving. Goes back to the Native Americans not having a whole lot to be thankful about.

  • @SnagTalk yup...dead pixel. Shit happens.

  • @thereprieve Funny you right wingers had the opposite opinion before OWS. First you were angry at the lack of jobs, then people started protesting about it, and you turned against them saying they should get jobs. Fucking hypocrite.

  • That is such a great observation.
