What are your plans for Turkey Day (Thanksgiving)?

Jesus is everyone on here from Europe? Guess now I'm changing it from Turkey day thread to something that has to do with the metric system or European football

 

Well Europe population = 742.5 million (2013)
Population of USA = 319.117 million (Nov 20th 2014)

y'know we as a continent double (and then add the extra 100 Million) your countries population.

 

I'm from Australia but live in USA because my parents moved here awhile back. . . so many Americans do thanksgiving it kinda caught on after awhile. . . ;D

 

Wat... It's an american holiday. xD the Majority of Americans or people who live in America would celebrate it (The natives don't, so don't even go there.)

 

Me stuff Turk in face den me smart

 

Natives do

if you've been living there for 4 years then it catches on my parents loved to try new things and now they almost kill themselves if they don't celebrate it xD

 

Lol, I'm gonna be moving there in about 2 years, sure I'll celebrate it but I won't go wild. til then no ty

 

Its not very exiting xD I F***ING HATE TURKEY but other than that its fine

 

What's wrong with turkey. White meat is pretty tasteless. goes with everthing

 

Its to dry if you don't do it properly

 

every body in america selebrates it to some point smart one

 

No, they don't. Do you think native Americans celebrate the slaughtering of their own kind after they gave resources to newly immigrated foreigners.

Celebrates*

 

Is that what they tell you in schools in England... my.

 

Eli is right.

 

I wish we had "kill all the natives" day in Ireland Instead we just have "we -the natives - got killed by the english" day

 

That is a way to look at it...

Actually thanksgiving was declared by George washington as a day to thank God for numerous things. So yeah, not to many people celebrate the real reason for thanksgiving. Just like Christmas

And yes Eli will contradict me with a twisted fact he learned some where on urban dictionary.

 

haha.

Indeed I am, Lol. Freez is so southern.

FREEZ you also do realise that the reason has changed over the years too and that the actual day for thanksgiving has changed many times and really is just a marketing ploy these days but if you're going by original terms. Yeah I'm telling you the honest truth.

 

"Thank you God .... for killing the natives"
You're both right hurrah
Thanksgiving Day is a national holidaycelebrated primarily in the United Statesand Canada as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year.
Much like Columbus Day, Thanksgiving is seen by some as a celebration of the conquest and genocide of Native Americans by colonists. Professor Dan Brook of the University of California, Berkeley condemns the "cultural and political amnesia" of Americans that celebrate Thanksgiving: "We do not have to feel guilty, but we do need to feel something."[63] Professor Robert Jensen of the University of Texas at Austin is somewhat harsher: "One indication of moral progress in the United States would be the replacement of Thanksgiving Day and its self-indulgent family feasting with a National Day of Atonement accompanied by a self-reflective collective fasting."[64]

 

What is that? Wikipedia?
