: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 :)

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

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:
