Shows how much you know. Thanking God was definitely part of the original Thanksgiving, and it remains that way today for most Americans.

Neither of us were there and there was no YouTube in the day, but they really needed to thank Native Americans. Pilgrims arrived with wheat that would not grow in New England, no knowledge how to make bread from maize, no knowledge what wild foods were edible or what crops could be grown. Not a surprise most died the first year. Wonder if they thanked god for that? I mean, if god takes credit for good things, shouldn't he/she/it take responsibility for bad?

KingSpeed, did you know what you were starting, bud?

I can't wait for thanksgiving. I love thanking our omnipotent and omni-benevolent God for all the wonderful things he does for the children starving to death around the world and the child abuse victims, etc.

Am I omnipotent and omni-benevolent? Sadly, I'm not. Your God is supposed to be.

In truth 80-90% of the Native Americans were already killed off by the time the Pilgrims celebrated Thanksgiving from diseases introduced by European explorers.

You could thank Him for inspiring people in His name to help out starving children, counseling victims of abuse, finding jobs for ex-cons, etc. Or just consistently bash what you don't understand. Either way.

Could we save the God discussion for one of the hundreds of other threads derailed by it? This thread is about a young man's crush on a heterosexual married man and doing Hannah Storm doggy style.

I love how a thread about a gay actor wanting to bang a Blazer employee has amassed almost 1,800 views! GOD DAMN this season needs to hurry up and start! And even crazier is my post about jizzing on our resident jewish lesbian poster's sisters back if I showed her Seinfeld didn't land me 1 rep point!

Thank you! At least someone around here knows what the fuck they're talking about. Most of the American Indians were long gone by the time the Pilgrims got here. The Spanish successfully accomplished that feat. In fact, they were helped by an Indian who knew English because he was originally a slave transported to Europe. He was able to get his freedom and return to North America, only to find his tribe wiped out. He helped them acclimate to life here and serve as a mediator between the Pilgrims and the local tribes who were still around.

Thanksgiving is NOT a religious holiday. It's a day to celebrate the coming together of two peoples, and to be thankful for everything we have in life. If you want to thank God, that's your prerogative. Totally okay. But don't make the day all about God.

I absolutely detest homosexual behavior/acts. That said, I have a number of gay and lesbian friends - some of them very close - that I would go to war for. Does that make me homophobic? No. Simply put, it makes me someone who stands strong on his personal beliefs/values, coupled with a healthy degree of compassion/acceptance.

Ever read 1491 by Charles C. Mann? A really interesting book. It's look at what life was most likely like in the Americas the year before Columbus "discovered them."

1491 is not so much the story of a year, as of what that year stands for: the long-debated (and often-dismissed) question of what human civilization in the Americas was like before the Europeans crashed the party. The history books most Americans were (and still are) raised on describe the continents before Columbus as a vast, underused territory, sparsely populated by primitives whose cultures would inevitably bow before the advanced technologies of the Europeans. For decades, though, among the archaeologists, anthropologists, paleolinguists, and others whose discoveries Charles C. Mann brings together in 1491, different stories have been emerging. Among the revelations: the first Americans may not have come over the Bering land bridge around 12,000 B.C. but by boat along the Pacific coast 10 or even 20 thousand years earlier; the Americas were a far more urban, more populated, and more technologically advanced region than generally assumed; and the Indians, rather than living in static harmony with nature, radically engineered the landscape across the continents, to the point that even "timeless" natural features like the Amazon rainforest can be seen as products of human intervention.

Mann is well aware that much of the history he relates is necessarily speculative, the product of pot-shard interpretation and precise scientific measurements that often end up being radically revised in later decades. But the most compelling of his eye-opening revisionist stories are among the best-founded: the stories of early American-European contact. To many of those who were there, the earliest encounters felt more like a meeting of equals than one of natural domination. And those who came later and found an emptied landscape that seemed ripe for the taking, Mann argues convincingly, encountered not the natural and unchanging state of the native American, but the evidence of a sudden calamity: the ravages of what was likely the greatest epidemic in human history, the smallpox and other diseases introduced inadvertently by Europeans to a population without immunity, which swept through the Americas faster than the explorers who brought it, and left behind for their discovery a land that held only a shadow of the thriving cultures that it had sustained for centuries before. --Tom Nissley

I actually learned most of this in a US history course a couple years ago. The problem is, Shooter is so old, he still thinks Columbus discovered America! They've updated history shooter
