Thanks!!!

When do you guys have Thanksgiving across the pond?

 

We don't. I've been invited to a TG bash with some American friends, but I can't show.

Happy Thanksgivings to you yanks!

 

Wishing everyone a happy thanksgiving too.

Our German ERNTEDANKFEST already took place late september or early october. Erntedank is our version of Thanksgiving but everything's bigger in the US they say.Lol. Erntedank is definitely not even halfway as big of an event here as Thanksgiving in the US

 

Thanks guys! Looking forward to cooking instead of working for a couple days.

 

thanks, going up the country tomorrow for some homemade pumpkin pie, turkey , stuffing, potatoes, cran sauce

 

Eat some turkey with relatives and work on Friday.

 

Thanks for what? For poisioning and wiping out generation of ppl?

"The Pilgrims were not just innocent refugees from
religious persecution. They were victims of bigotry in
England, but some of them were themselves religious
bigots by our modern standards. The Puritans and the
Pilgrims saw themselves as the "Chosen Elect" mentioned
in the book of Revelation. They strove to "purify" first
themselves and then everyone else of everything they did
not accept in their own interpretation of scripture.
Later New England Puritans used any means, including
deceptions, treachery, torture, war, and genocide to
achieve that end.They saw themselves as fighting a
holy war against Satan, and everyone who disagreed with
them was the enemy. This rigid fundamentalism was
transmitted to America by the Plymouth colonists, and it
sheds a very different light on the "Pilgrim" image we
have of them. This is best illustrated in the written
text of the Thanksgiving sermon delivered at Plymouth in
1623 by "Mather the Elder." In it, Mather the Elder gave
special thanks to God for the devastating plague of
smallpox which wiped out the majority of the Wampanoag
Indians who had been their benefactors. He praised God
for destroying "chiefly young men and children, the very
seeds of increase, thus clearing the forests to make way
for a better growth", i.e., the Pilgrims. In as much
as these Indians were the Pilgrim's benefactors, and
Squanto, in particular, was the instrument of their
salvation that first year, how are we to interpret this
apparent callousness towards their misfortune?
The Wampanoag Indians were not the "friendly savages"
some of us were told about when we were in the primary
grades. Nor were they invited out of the goodness of the
Pilgrims' hearts to share the fruits of the Pilgrims'
harvest in a demonstration of Christian charity and
interracial brotherhood. "

Fourth World Documentation Project-The PLYMOUTH THANKSGIVING STORY.


The 'myth' of Thanksgiving has been constructed throughout American history, through Lincoln, FDR and Norman Rockwell...!

 

we here celebrate Australia Day, or as a lot of us call it "Invasion Day".

The tradition of noticing 26 January began early in the nineteenth century with Sydney almanacs referring to First Landing Day or Foundation Day. That was the day in 1788 Captain Arthur Phillip, commander of the First Fleet of eleven convict ships from Great Britain and the first governor of New South Wales, arrived at Sydney Cove. The raising of the Union Jack there symbolised British occupation of the eastern half of the continent claimed by Captain James Cook on 22 August in 1770.2

 

Us Brits get everywhere

 

Us minorities (African descent, Native descent, Asian descent) are getting around everywhere, so dont be surprised when u wake up one day and see London or any other major Euro cities chalk full of minorities.

Cheers

 

LOL London and other major cities are full of "minorities" already - and great places they are too

 

Indeed, Lewisham is 50% Black (hint for any visiting WW !!), shame it's South London (spits ritually), Tottenham and Wood Green are big Black areas, and in North London, Brent and Harrow (both NW) are majority Asian.

On the seamier side, there are one or two BNP strongholds in London, let's just say if I were filling up my car there, I'd pay cash...

 

My Brother lives in Hackney, where he lives is a predominately black area aswell.

I didn't realise the BNP were in London? It is scary how they seem to be getting everywhere these days.

 

Well, first off they're not everywhere, here in London they're mainly confined to a couple of poor small areas in London's outskirts. That said, I'm not mentioning the areas as I'm sure we have a one or two lurkers here who would love me to give them some publicity, like raising awareness of their strongholds, desperate as they are to get some attention.

As for scary, don't forget you are always gonna have a tiny number of people who somehow slipped past Quality Control in the Neo-Natal assembly line. They're fringe loonies, either chronically unemployable or drawn to the kind of work they can use as an sewer for their delusions. Let's face it, you MUST be a tad screwy to blame your life's woes on a minority group.

 

Indeed, but that is what scares me - that people, who are that stupid and brain dead do actually exist. :smt119

 

It is very scary indeed, In Yorkshire the BNP won two seats in Europe. In my city it is a nightmare with respect to race and I have had problems for ages regarding this. You would think I am bull...tting if I told you the half.

In the UK the discrimination is very suttle or so it seems but if you actually look closer you will see that the race issue is much deeper. It influences decision within the Judiciary right down to your everyday folk in the pub.

The only way you can see this is; if you are non white or you integrate with non whites on a daily basis. I would say it is a problem greater than the US, at least in the US racism is widely accepted but here they avoid it and introduce such things as "political correctness" so no one has to confront this serious issue.
