  • Of course it is. Only America would turn the memory of the total destruction of another culture and usurption of their lands into a celebration of gluttony. The rest of the world has more taste.

  • Switzerland are banning minarets because they do not want their 90% Christian country's architecture to be mixed with Islamic cultural architecture, but they have not banned mosques or practicing Islam. France have banned all head coverings in their schools, headscarfs included - they have not banned headscarves. As usual, your media is censored in order to give the most biassed viewpoints possible.

  • 10.02 - I don't think 9.56 actually used any statistics there. But he/she is right. China is more powerful than America now. They even make all your military equipment for gids sake - the American militarystill has no way of knowing whether or not they included killswitches. And you do have the highest infant mortality rate in the west. Your education system has been inferior to europe for decades.

  • For most Americans, Thanksgiving is about celebrating and giving thanks for family and friends. Not about what we did to the Indians. Every country has parts of history they are not proud of, even yours.

I can get free prescriptions and health care and it's free to have kids here, not $15,000.00 like it is in the states. But feel free to say "we don't give a fuck about you", we don't give a shit about you either.

Seeing as the continent wasn't divided into America and Canada at the time the natives were slaughtered and dispossessed I do't really see that it makes that much difference. You red white and blue morons would probably have a party on 9/11 if it involved shopping, eating, drinking and spending money. Because you have no taste whatsoever.

  • @9.52 the difference between the settlers wiping out the native americans and the British Empire spreading over the world is pretty obvious. The nations that were once part of the empire - India, Hong Kong, Australia etc - are now world powers in their own right. Yes, the Crown has blood on it's hands in some areas, but the Empire left the countries it occupied more advanced and better educated.

This was the beginning of the end, and in celebrating it you are also celebrating the destruction that it later lead to. Why do you think the settlers were allowed to settle? The best way to start an invasion is to start living somewhere and building up a base. The fact that you celebrate this is utterly tasteless.
