Re: The great Thanksgiving Debate

I never really saw the point of thanksgiving.
Do you guys just sit around and eat a big dinner, celebrating the fact you stole your country from a bunch of Cherokee indians who had nothing but a few bows and arrows?

A- It wasn't Cherokee that were at Plymouth Rock
B - Way to marginalize an entire race of people

No its about being thankfull for what you have and being glad your not dead. As for the country stealing look back in to any countrys history and you will see that at some point in time it belonged to someone else. I realy can't take sides anyway because I'm part Creek, my great gran was Creek. Oh yeh the Creek and Cherokee indians were not in New England They lived in the south.


And HAM and TURKEY both ROCK!!!!

Re: The great Thanksgiving Debate

Definitely turkey! Turkey + Dressing + a nice gravy... Oh, I'm getting so hungry just thinking about it. Ham is more our Christmas dinner thing.

Haven't been able to eat alot the past few days. My dog tried to eat my face... had to get stitches near my lip and I don't want to pull them too much. :/

Several tribes actually, but the point is to take stock that you have friends, & family to celebrate with and take stock of things you should be thankful for. If your really looking to troll make a thread about RMT or GM's and you'll have better luck.

I still say turkey ^..^

A few bows and arrows? Thar be a little something called the battle of Agincourt, take a look at what a few bows and arrows can do to someone.

Also darn near every country has taken land from another country or people.

I've never heard of the Creek Indians, where are they from?

The Creek nation is a blend of tribes, most notably the Muskogee which originated near the Ocheese creek. The Muskogee held a fair amount of territory in the South East until the Cherokee (and laster the Europeans) forced them more westward.


Edit: Found the wikipedia page for the Creek Nation -- it's probably a better resource.

They after me lucky charms! They're magically delicious! (Sorry, I just had to make a generalization on the country of Ireland too).

Making generalizations is bad. mmkay? Don't throw fire into the pot unless you wanna get flamed out.

Re: The great Thanksgiving Debate

I have Creek blood in me too! Does that mean I celebrate stealing land from myself?

Re: The great Thanksgiving Debate

Turkey, dressing, Cranberry sauce, Sweet Potatoes, Pecan Pie, Green Beans, and sea food gumbo is what we have on my redneck side of the family. On the Irish/Lebanese side, we have Turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, some sort of casserole, and a bunch of Lebanese food that I cannot spell.

I think I'll stick to my squash thank you.

Cut up a butternut squash into cubes, a little honey, a little cinnamon, bake it for a bit, comes out real nice.
