Even if you do not live in the United States and do not celebrate Thanksgiving, today is as good a day as any to take a step back and reflect on all of the things we are thankful for. Also it is a good day to recharge the old batteries so you can wake up early and brave those horrifying Black Friday lines. As always please remember to be safe out there! Oh and just to shake things up a bit I thought it might be fun if everyone snapped some pictures of their giant turkey buffets with their Windows Mobile devices and posted them up on the forums. I for one have always enjoyed looking at tables full of food :)<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving everyone!</p>

I know this will make everyone jump on me, but I think it should be said:

Thanksgiving happens because some native americans helped europeans/"new-americans" survive. It was a bad move from native americans as the europeans/"new-americans" were not so kind to them and didn't deserve to be helped.

Yes, it's a nice date to celebrate with the family, but when you celebrate please take two seconds to think on the native americans and with what they have lost for helping the white people.

Really sorry to bring confusion and stress to this post, but the history is someting that should be remember in a all, and not just the good parts. :(

Just looked at the painting!

Really funny, in it the native are being feed instead of feeding. What a big lie! :(

You knew you shouldn't have posted that, so you're apologizing for it, but you went ahead and did it anyway. Discussion politics and religion aren't permitted here because all they do is cause fights - it's really unfortunate that these were the first two posts you decided to make to our forums. :(

Regardless of my personal feelings on this matter, I'll say this much: at some point, you have to stop blaming people for the actions of their ancestors. It's been several hundred years, so maybe it's time to let go?

I guess it depends by which sides you belong to. The winner? So Yes for sure. The looser? Well ...

Btw there is nothing new here: In the 400 B.C. the Celtic Chief Brenno was cought by the defeated Romans manipulating the scale weighting the gold they agreed to pay to the Barbarians as reparations; Brenno replied "Vae victis" (Woe to the vanquished) and dropped on the scale his sword so to increase the already set quantity of gold the Romans had to pay.
