    It's nice and peachy.

    Do feel angry that in some small way it signaled a new age of colonialism followed by a sweeping degraded of colonialism, rise of Western influence, and your eventual fall of power?
    Not really. I like turkey and pies.

        1.) What is this "too much turkey" nonesense?

        2.) Turkey for Thanksgiving, Prime Rib for Christmas, Ham for Easter. FACT!

          Turkey

          Ham

          My Korean intern said they had their thanksgiving a week or two ago. So the real question is how many countries have an equivalent holiday to our thanksgiving.

            In India they thank the gods for a good harvest by sacrificing dalit orphan children on the altar of the damned.

                Thanksgiven is to give thanks for the end of American Civil War, right?
                So, it's just an American thing.

                  No, not right. It may be American, but it's not about that, you idiot!

                      My family always has ham for Christmas.

                      I ****ing hate ham.

                      So I usually just watch everyone else eat, then I go find a Chinese restaurant.

                            Nah, it's thanking the natives for getting out of the colonist's new lands.

                                The Canadian thanksgiving makes more sense as it coincides with the harvest.


                                In cold ass Canada, maybe. Thanksgiving coincided perfectly with the harvest in middle America this year.
