lol, cool photo.

stupid question, what is thanksgiving all about? i know OF it, but not exactly what it is.

:lol: nice photo...

Thanksgiving is a holiday of togetherness when the pilgram settlers came to America on the May Flower, they were confronted by the Indians, Thanksgiving was the day they layed down arms and sat with their Native American brothers and ate a large meal, with a turkey :) thats the heavily abridged version but you get the idea, it's all about being thankful for what you have, and for coming together :)

i thought it was about families fighting about other familie members during dinner?

:lol: yes, that too, inlaws...annoyance...boyfriends burning food *grumbles*...stuff like that :D it's togetherness and family feuding :)

i thought thanksgiving was to celebrate the slaughter of the native americans during that time.

its a nashonal holiday. i whood be serpised if the native americans selabrited it. its basted off well-coming pepal how wiped tham out.

i'm mostly of irish/eastern european descent. so i enjoy the food.

Ahem, before you start bad mouthing America to me, i'd like to point out when you say "you" that my family immigrated here from Italy, Sicily actually, so it's not "you" it's "Americans" because it wasn't my people, we were busy killing the greeks and what not (woah, time line's way off lol) :lol:

While the killing of Native Americans was not right just about any country in the world conquered someone to control the land they are on now

sorry i asked now :rolleyes:  

Well captian ryan, you had to expect someone to start ragging on america...if there was no america, the rest of the world would get bored and probably go into world war III because there's nothing to make fun of :lol:

the funny thing is i'm an american. really.

So am I, **** I make fun of this place half the time...Still love our freedoms though, just don't let a few ignorant people ruin something for you, is all I have to say ;)

i do enjoy freedom, but i also like history just as much.  ;)  

Well A LOT of countries have freedom. I enjoy our freedom just as much here in Slovenia :P

Indeed, I didn't mean freedom as in not having to bow at the sight of a leader...I don't agree with many of the freedoms people are given here, Freedom of the Press is a joke really...and the Freedom of Speech is abused by so many young uneducated kids these days "I can say whatever I want cause I have freedom of speech!" "uhm, no, you can't...freedom of spee-" "SHUT UP! see? freedom of speech!"

Uh huh...honest conversation I had with a friend's little brother...the little boy makes New York City look timid...

doubt it would go in to war as the british empire would have pretty much full control of the planet by now, the only reason we don't is coz we sent loads of troops to the us and everyone copyed you yanks and started rebelling :( the british empire only fell 80 years ago and well really all though it does still exisit and we still "own" countrys they have fll control (EG we "Own" canada but we have nothing to do with it A :P ) the only countrys we do really own is Northern Ireland abd the Auzzies.

Owning is a strange word in this context...


PS: You should change your avatar... too brutal.

no way, Euf's avvy is great :lol: and if the Brits owned everything then I wouldn't be able to order Tea without getting Earl Grey...:lol:

well i live in britain, & i aint even tasted earl grey :P
euf's avvy was also posted here by ewm as a pic on "funny stuff" or something like that.

from here i think: funny stuff (http://forum.fleetops.net/index.php?showtopic=1897)

Us britans dont drink tea all day, or when we hold cups we dont hold our pinkys in the air with them, and not many people i know acctually sound posh


P.S :Yes ,I am English  ^_^  

yeah i am half brittish and i don't only drink earl grey all the time but i also drink sometimes green and peppermint team and only sometimes stretch my pinky out when i am drinking  :lol:  

when i drink with my left hand i sometime stick my pinky out, I have a bit of nerve damage to that particular hand. Hey, I didn’t mean to imply... oh, whatever I was playing football (american football, not soccer).

There's an area in Germany where people in average drink much more tea than the British do:

If you drink the East Frisian tea right, it's dilicious. But you have to get used to it first. :)




 

wow  :o  

O_o ok...it was a sarcastic joke...weird though, the germans always came off as alcohol drinkers not tea drinkers...I'll take a margarita over tea anyday :lol:

i'll take a nice cold soda over tea any day. well, unless i'm sick; then tea is the best thing in the world.

Bah, we need to introduce you to the frosted glass with salt on the rim :lol:

i used to drink heavily, Vodka, rum & coke, whiskey, scotch, bourbon, all that hard stuff, but as i've grown-up, i found i'm quite content with a beer every once in a while. ;)  

i drink a fair amount of tea, i sound posh and i only stick my little finger out when joking, I drink bitters and ales (real beers) i hate larger it tastes like cat pea, i hate american beer it tastes like waterd down waterd cat's pea and i have the odd sprit.

Shandy and beer (im a beer belly)

but ill try anything

are you saying you've actually tryed cat ****? :lol:  

I object!
It tastes like watered down horse pee
hmph completely different!

cat **** is very nice, its loveley :lol:  (joke)

 

what is it with you people! Idiots!
Champagne! is better

I was only joking ,and yes Champane is nice

i agree. but i just have a soft spot for beer.
