Thanksgiving Boredom

Unread postby KingOfDoma » Thu Nov 26, 2009 6:04 pm

I am one booooooooooooooored Canadian...

OK, you primitive screwheads, listen up! This... is my THANKSGIVING DAY THREAD! It's a one day, commemorative holiday. America's top of the line. You can find this in the late November department. That's right, this baby was made in Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts. Retails for about one to nine relations of what you're thankful for. It's got a long history, red, white and blue connotations and a hair trigger (for democracy). Shop today, Shop U-S-A.

YA GOT THAT? e_e

It's when Americans decide to be thankful for all the awesome crap they have. It has something to do with pilgrims or oatmeal or Native Americans or some craziness like that, I dunno. I say, any excuse to be nice to each other and hang with the family, right?

Ours makes sense, by the way... it's a complete hodgepodge of celebrations and traditions... just like Canada!

It's when Americans celebrate how they committed heathen genocide about four-hundred years ago.

Well, hey, back then, not being white WAS an abomination unto the Lord. As was not being rich, not being male, not owning land, and not being from the same place as everyone else. Really, you couldn't blow your nose without being an abomination unto the Lord, so... yeah. Glad I'm alive when a black guy is president.

No, that's Columbus Day.

Seriously, weren't the Plymouth Pilgrims like the only large group of colonists to actually live alongside the Native Americans rather than try and wipe them out? Granted, a colonization attempt by Europeans a few years prior had wiped out the Native village that was nearby, and relations were bad at first because that previous colonization attempt included attempts at capturing them for slaves, but I thought the Pilgrims themselves got along pretty peacefully with the locals for as long as they existed as an independent colony.

I thought you were Canadian? I mean, yeah, our president is a fairly major influence on you the same as your PM is on us (even if the level of information on each amongst the public doesn't reflect that fact), but it seems kind of a weird sentiment to express if you're not from the US.

Be that as it may, I'm pretty sure racism and religious zealotry exist outside of these United States. There's really nothing strange about a black man from any corner of the globe finding satisfaction in the fact that a fellow person of color was elected president of the Conservative States of America.
Anime is kind of like fish in that it is better the less "fishy" it is.

Yeah, true, that's a good point. I didn't think of it that way, I suppose.

Indeed. It basically means to me that as shitty as this world can be, awesome, progressive things still happen. Obama really is hope... hope that this world has the potential not to rip itself to shreds.
