text: anyone else offended by the thanksgiving holiday? seriously guys there are people who aren't from usa originally yet we have this holiday which says u must participate.  what the hell gives.  ti should be banned.  agree/ the thing that is so great about america is that you can decide what you want to particapate in and do. if you don't want to celebrate thanksgiving don't then, the holiday police aren't going to come after you. but think about the idea of thanksgiving, people comming together and being thankful for what they have, without buying presents or anything like that. give thanksgiving a try, it is a great holiday!
