Happy Thanksgiving to all the American TA's, as well as anyone else who feels a part of celebration, regardless of your nation's day of thanks or not.

In the spirit of threads with a purpose, list 3 things you're thankful for:

1. TA
2. Ends of school terms
3. Generosity

edit: hmm almost forgot death. Without death, there is no life

You're 45 days too late, but thanks anyway.

Thanx, but I don't celebrate it, so I won't tell you what I'm thankful for, because that would be against what I believe in.

lol im thankful that the other western powers like France and England can look down their noses at America, since they are sooo much more benevolent than America!

Yes, it's an excuse to escape to realism that the world has to offer. Many people (probably more than the French would hope) actually do reflect on what they're thankful for on this day - I think it's damn important for people to dedicate at least one day a year to think about how much happiness is in their lives. Unfortunately, the eating of a turkey has been associated by those who cannot understand the meaning of our day, as it is so displayed in the media as a tacit tradition and so shunned by "intellectuals" in that regard. It's really too bad that people must immediately think that, for Americans, it's just a day to eat a lot when, in all actuality, each person is truly thinking about what there is to be thankful for on this day. What the media presents is, as usual, just a dim reflection of reality. So don't judge thanksgiving by what has been presented to you through a camera and a commercial, for thanksgiving is a helluva lot more than that for those who actually live it.

i love you.

[random order of thankfulness]

that's what americans are supposed to be doing, but it's bullcrap.

thats like saying everyone thinks about jesus christ on christmas day, absolute bollocks. majority of people (including myself) really only think about what overpriced presents i've just been given.

americans can use the excuse you just used to justify why they should cram there faces full of calories for an entire day and not go into work, when if the truth be told, they're sucomming to glutony. if the day was all about thanksgiving, go say a prayer to the lord.

anyway, get that stomach stretching started before christmas comes around. t'is the season to be fat and jolly.

rich sheltered americans.
and regardless of your monetary income in relation to the rest of the american society; your minimum wage paycheck would feed at least 10 people for a week in a third world country.
what exactly are you thankful for? what i see is that you are thankful to live this bourgoise lifestyle, doing what you wish whenever you wish, just because you can and need to fear no reprisal for your actions. all the while your country destroys families and homes in the name of freedom.
what a great time to celebrate and to be alive.

Cost of living is alot higher here. I wouldnt argue that we dont live with ridiculous amounts of amenitites (cable tv, cell phones, and cars full of gas), but dont try to pin one attitude or style of thinking on the entire population.

Were not the only ones who support American culture. How many people eat at American fast food chains world wide? How many purchase our company's clothing, buy gasoline from our companies? How many work in factories and manufacturing centers for our companies? How many waste their money on our movies our music? How about the computer you're using; is it made with parts (soft or hardware) from American companies? Then you people want to turn around and point the finger at us? We as citizens are to blame, but so are millions of people worldwide who financially support the machine. If you live a clean and uninvolved lifestyle, its differnet, but if you put one penny into the monster, then youre unable to complain, as far as Im concerned.

just my two cents, since you felt compelled to give yours

i don't see why you can't be thankful for stuff every day like the rest of the world..

and nell is right, i doubt there will be that many people giving thanks.. its the same asituation as christmas, and christmas is supposed to be a religious time and i am one of the least religious people on earth, yet i always 'celebrate' xmas just for the sake of the big dinner etc etc.

ok .. it's the day after thanksgiving, and it feels good to have a day off .. hehe .. but i don't know what francetuckers is talking about .. like france and other countries, we all have our melting pot types of people .. i am not talking about the different nationalities that live here, but the different types of people that live here .. the glutenous ones .. the lazy ones .. the brash ones .. the vivid ones .. the lifeless ones .. the ant-workers ..

but it seems the glutenous, lazy, and pompous people pop out more as the image of america, rather than the normal middle class workers surviving to pay extreme utility bills or car payments. i will tell you this .. tv is giving you the wrong image of america.. america is all about working hard to get what we want.. of course we have all the luxuries and amenity services available at our fingertips .. we are all thankful for that .. but there are also locations in america that do not have the same availability lifestyles .. like the slum/ghetto areas .. the country life that is far away from the metropolitian areas.. the areas where average income is far less than the regular median in the united states ..

i don't know about others think about the third world countries and everything, but i do care about it a lot. i do tithe regularly to the church i attend to keep it up, and whenever the church is offering money to help the "little sisters of the poor" or another one i can't think of right now .. i really don't have much luxuries if you're asking me, and i know many other tranceaddicts here don't have much either .. my family and i work hard to the position we are at right now .. we represent one of the many families that own small private businesses to keep us alive, and fight against the constant pressures of big business stealing our customers.. we work hard for our moneyw.. my family suffice with the necessary materials to keep us happy ..

there are many americans that work hard just to get by.. i know many families that couldn't afford the traditional turkey, so they bought the honey baked ham instead (which is not a bad alternative) .. we all give our thanks for whatever we have available at our fingertips and our roofs .. i am not going to get angry at you with your comments, but just say that your ideas of the 'regular' american life is not what you think it is ..

of course there is going to be a spectrum of individuality throughout any country. perhaps if you had read my initial post more thoroughly you would see that it was those taking this 'holiday' as a joke and to boast about their selfindulgent life styles where they sit sheltered in their parent's house, or in their apartment and surf these forums all day giving no thought to the rest of the world that continues to revolve even though they are stationary and stagnant that i was targeting.

congratulations on escaping the formulaic lifestyle of america. be thankful you don't need to hide an AK47 under your bed and the only sound you hear at night is the rush of traffic, and not gunfire from next door.
