Listen here you silly bastard, turkey isn't the only thing at Thanksgiving. Have you ever heard of pie? Because it's kind of a thing at Thanksgiving. And if you don't like pie, then I don't like your face.

i definitely like lamb and beef/steak better than turkey. but thanksgiving is all about stuffing and gravy with turkey....any of those go better with gravy and stuffing than turkey? i think not.

It's true, they're just jealous the aliens didn't come to their country to have a holiday over stuffing.
haha dane, i just now watched the episode and went "ohhhh now I get it"

thank you for getting it.. I posted it and checked today and it turned into a serious thanksgiving discussion. Any group of people who can be at war with another set and then accept blankets from them the next day have whatever they get coming to 'em. Just sayin

I just hate the holiday because the food is so shitty. Why, on a day dedicated to eating, you decide to eat the shittiest food that you wouldn't even consider eating on another day of the year? Blegghh.

Turkey is so weak. I'd rather just have a good steak.

They annoy me and make insane amounts of money from those casinos. I won't lie, when I lived near them I went there and played insane amounts of blackjack. It's sad that most of the reservations near it aren't well kept and breeds horrible members to society. Sorry I'm not sorry.

Unfortunately I live near a rez/casino. It's actually really sad.
I just watched a "Gangland" episode on the Pine Ridge reservation. I'm sure most of the reservations are similar to this one, and its extremely terrible.

I kind of figured. I find it intriguing how, whenever conversations regarding cultural oppression in America comes up, you never hear much of the Native Americans. I don't think it's considered common knowledge just how poorly we treated them, I mean, horrible conditions on par with how we treated Africans.

Are Native Americans cool with this holiday? I mean, I imagine it would be like celebrating your ancestors making peace with a bunch of white dudes before said white dudes kind of oppressed you to the Nth degree for a couple centuries.

Just curious! I don't know any Native Americans personally who are deeply attached to their culture.

Not trying to be ~that guy~, just wondering!

Just check further north up into the Green Bay, WI area... I grew up there and you'll meet plenty Native Americans who cried and then built casinos. They care
