[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  The fact that thanksgiving was giving different meanings depending on the era, tells you something wasn't right from the beginning. Furthermore, why the heck do i need a day to give thanks? and, to who am i supposed to give thanks to? and for what ? The good news is, with the rapid demographic changes taking shape in this country, that nonsense will be something celebrated only by a fringe group in the future.[/quote]

Wow. I’ve heard the “pilgrims were awful” argument against thanksgiving for years. But this might be the first time I heard someone object to the holiday because they hate giving thanks.[/quote]

pp show me the part where i specifically said i hate giving thanks. Dense much?[/quote]

Pardon me for paraphrasing you. You said “Furthermore, why the heck do i need a day to give thanks? and, to who am i supposed to give thanks to? and for what ? The good news is, with the rapid demographic changes taking shape in this country, that nonsense will be something celebrated only by a fringe group in the future.”

So perhaps you don’t hate giving thanks. You just don’t think you should have to do it, you don’t know what to be thankful for, and you think that celebrating what we have been given is “nonsense.”[/quote]

DP. You are still misreading that post.

PP is specifically talking about thanksgiving, not being thankful in general.
