[saintruthanne]

I was just wondering...does anyone else think its ridiculous to call it 'turkey day'? why can't we just call it Thanksgiving???

your thoughts?

no we celebrate it to GIVE THANKS TO GOD FOR DELIVERING THE PILGRIMS INTO THIS LAND SO THEY COULD HAVE CHILDREN'S CHILDREN'S CHILDREN'S etc. (thats us) AND THAT THEY HAD FOOD TO SURVIVE WHICH THEY ATE WITH THE INDIANS. sounds like those 'Indians' which are actually Native Americans were really mad at us huh?

if you hate the origin of our country so much why don't you move to France or something.

wow you need to instantly die. No offense.

1. I'm 99% sure you're not a descendent of a pilgrim.

2. If the pilgrims died out, America would still be colonized.

3. If I told you the actual details to the real feast Native Americans and Pilgrims had, you'd cry.

4. Now go learn some real arguments that don't have to do with God.

1. if you're not a descendent from a pilgrim, who're you descended from? (oh btw...the dictionary says a pilgrim is someone who travels to foreign lands meaning everyone who wasn't Native American)

2. You're right....American would still be colonized if the pilgrims died out. But that would mean we'd be about 2 or 300 years behind in technology.

3. Enlighten me. Humor me. Try me. I'm only crying cuz I'm so disappointed in your education and lack thereof. No offense, right?

4. I didn't mention God. Happy? probly not. But then, you never will be.

and 5. just type Pilgrims or Mayflower in Google and you will find millions of descendents descended from the surprise surprise! pilgrims. yay!

wow.

let me absorb that for a minute.



wow. just wow.

please god stop posting in topics you obviously have no clue about.

1. the pilgrims which were talking about are the puritans who came over from england and settled at plymouth rock. the pilgrim definition you're using is really a religious one.

2. erm... no. the puritans weren't even that interested in technology. they were a religious people.

3. im not even gonna respond to that. look in a mirror.

4. maybe you didnt directly mention god, but you definitely spoke of thanksgiving purely in a religious context.

and why is it that some christians believe that non-christians are doomed to a life of unhappiness?

so now I can't talk about RELIGION? hmmmmm.....okay. God.....religion. I don't know about this...correct me if I'm wrong....but God and religion are not the same thing.

you don't even answer my questions. which are legitimate, I might add.

so you think the pilgrims didn't think of new stuff? you think they all just sat around not looking for innovative new ideas??? "hey...why don't we try changing the gun around. you know, make it easier to handle and deal with and whatnot." "NAHH...i like it the way it is. It will probably NEVER change. WE obviously can't think of anything better!"

by saying that you were never going to be happy, I meant to say that you would never be happy with what I wrote, becuz I'm never going to convince you of anything. alas, I see that I wrote that wrong as well. I just can't do anything right, can I? silly me. I don't even know where the term Thanksgiving came from!!! who made that stupid term up anyway?? we obviously have NOTHING to be thankful for!

oh and btw...i don't think ALL nonChristians aren't happy for all of their lives. just a lot of them.
