should Thanksgiving also be about making amends with Native Americans?

[rudeguy]

I feel kinda bad celebrating the destruction of their people.

 

[Miramonti]

Most of our holidays have a fairly close association with destruction of people.

 

[FoBoT]

in what way are we responsible for the sins of our fathers?
we should learn from history , but unless you have a time machine, you can't change history

 

[adairusmc]

Why should I have to make amends because they were pussies and didn't fight harder?

 

[gorcorps]

Uh... no. I didn't do anything to them so why the fuck should I act like I did?

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

I've quite a lot of Cherokee in my background and my opinion is that if you werent responsible then no. The holiday is a celebration and nothing more. Relax.

 

[AbAbber2k]

[OCGuy]

They should make amends with me for taking $5K from me in December '07. Fuckin Blackjack.

 

[rudeguy]

OP is drunk.

No...just saw something on tv about this. Kinda made me think....

 

[gorcorps]

That's not fair to remind me in 2 places...

I NEED PEACE SOMEWHERE! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

 

[I Saw OJ]

No, but we should be thankful for them letting us have all this bad ass land.

Every country or people group got where they are today by fighting others and taking their land.

[DrPizza]

I have an idea, lets send them some blankets. Yeah, that's it. We'll apologize by giving them a gift of blankets, but we could cover the blankets with H1N1. Then, we can take over all their casinos! hahahaha! HAhahahaha!


(it should go without saying, but I'm just joking.)

I feel kinda bad celebrating the destruction of their people.

why?

the history of europe is one of conquest. several lines of blood of mine have been either conquerers or conquered. i dont see why we should feel bad exclusively for what happened in america.

FWIW, i have german, french, italian, scottish, and several other types of blood. (and buried way in there is 1/32 or 1/64 cherokee)

fuck the romans for conquering my people!

...

fuck the germans for conquering my people!

...

fuck the english for being english!

...

et al.


fuck it.
