I was just reinforcing your statement, because it's being mainly ignored now.

As far as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces says, we are neutral. I want really badly to like Israel, but they've definitely overstepped their boundaries with this wall.

We used to kill Native Americans on Thanksgiving to steal their land. Now we kill each other to get a cheap 60" TV. To paraphrase George Carlin a bit: People say that the U.S.'s religion is Christianity, but it's actually consumerism. So true.

EDIT: Sorry to be off topic.

In all fairness, Americans didn't start continually celebrating the day until the Civil War was underway. Lincoln declared it a national holiday, and Senate made if officially official in 1941. So there are truly humbling circumstances where people began to be grateful.

We didn't choose to kill native Americans. Christopher Columbus is to blame for his actions, Andrew Jackson for his, and so on.
I am not to blame for the killings of Native Americans, and neither is any group that includes me.

Collective guilt is definitely something that's not okay. Keep your mass guilt to yourself, nobody wants to hear it.

Collective guilt is definitely something that's not okay. Keep your mass guilt to yourself, nobody wants to hear it.

This. Thank you!

Can we shut up about an American holiday that makes no sense and has little point and get back on topic?

Come on, celebrating Thanksgiving while defeating Kam's collectivist white guilt claims is fun!

And actually, Thanksgiving makes a lot of sense when you consider the historical context.

I'm sorry, but we shouldn't feel guilty for what our governments have done to thousands upon thousands of natives? Should we not feel bad about letting Hitler get into power? Should we not feel bad about the holocaust? Should we not feel bad about the Israeli-Palestinian situation caused by the British rule we were under until a few months ago?

No, we shouldn't. We didn't do it. Sympathy, yes. Guilt, no.

Sympathy for those that died, and remember what they died for? Of course.

Feeling bad about it because white guilt? Hell no. Take that shit elsewhere.

I may not be white guilt type of person, but just remember that most likely, you still benefit from those tragedies.

Considering I'm a German, and I have to spend most of my life dealing with people looking down on myself and my people collectively for the Holocaust? Doubtful.

Ahh, well, I never understood well Europe's remorse. I was thinking more American. Okey dokeys then. BTW, at least as far as I know, Germany seems to have paid off its dues as a nation.
