Chibi Riku 22 Wow, I haven't heard of a decent Thanksgiving since like forever lol. Eh, what good is a holiday that ultimately led to us destroying the Natives huh? lol. Thanksgiving had nothing to do with the Indians. It was a year of plenty following a year by which over half the pilgrims died after landing in America. So they sat a day out that year and every year that followed to give thanks to Jesus Christ, not the Indians. The Indians just happened to invite themselves. Thanksgiving didn't lead to the destruction of the Native Americans. Why do people keep spouting ignorant things on this board before fact checking it to make sure they know what the hell they are talking about?! gonk

History is important, and ignorance of history needs be corrected. And to call an important holiday, a day like Thanksgiving, an celebration on the the destruction of the Indians is ignorant and insulting. It would be like saying Christmas is gift giving and Santa Clause day. And all I know about Candy Corn is that it is for Halloween and that Halloween is the mix 3 pagan holidays, if you'd like I could tell you about it or would you consider that preaching too? ^_^ The only crusade I'm on is the crusade against ignorance...

*Directs you kindly to a source created not from the public school system*
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving_(United_States)
Now, PLEASE tell me how Momi's recounting of Thanksgiving is in ANY WAY A HISTORCAL FACT, please? Knowing something different from what you learned in public school does not necessarily make that knowledge TRUTH.

http://www.new-life.net/thanks01.htmhttp://www.thanksgivingnovember.com/Wikipedia is not always correct, in fact they get most things religion related incorrect. Mainly for the simple fact they reference secular text books and not the actual written texts written at the time of the actual events. Thing is secularists have been cleaning our text books clean of all positive references to religion in our Nation's history. And Wikipedia is filled with those same people using the same old history revisionists' text books. Oh, and just because they teach it in school doesn't make it so either, that's why our schools are the lowest rated out of all the developed nations ^_^ I know its hard to swallow that you been lied to all your life by the eduction system in this country, but if you open your mind long enough to research things for yourself and not just what you been shoveled you might actually understand more about history, cultures, traditions and how they came about without the bias and motives of revisionists.

You're beginning to repeat yourself...
XD
...and I didn't pay much attention in school, anyway, so most of what I know is not from there - do not assume to know where I have gained my knowledge, thank you.
The articles you refer to do not really disagree with Wikipedia, so I'm not sure what your issue is...
O.o
I merely took issue with your assertion that Thanksgiving had nothing to do with the Native Americans...in both my reference and also yours, it is made clear that they were not only in attendance, but were honored guests...yes, of course the Pilgrims were thanking God - they were Pilgrims - they thanked God for everything...but it was also in appreciation to their bretheren the Indians, who had helped them to survive, and actually thrive. It was quite the shindig, I hear...
;3
But, seriously, please desist in assuming that I have taken anything I feel to be true from school (which is a bit humorous, since you seem to take everything you feel to be true from your school)...I was raised a long time ago, in an area I knew full-well was not the most informed as to how things really were. I've spent many a year learning the truth behind things, and I do not need a young 'un who is still being spoonfed their "truth" to take it upon themselves to re-reeducate me...'k?
If we both just understand that, and agree to disagree sometimes, we'll get along just peachy.
^__^

Actually, what school did I claim I was learning this from? *snickers* seems you like to make assumptions yourself aswell...
Thanksgiving had nothing to do with the Native Americans, just because they were there doesn't mean they had anything to do with the reason for its conception... Thanksgiving was not made as a day to thank the Indians and niether was it a day that "ultimately led to us destroying the Natives" like Chibi said. Which by the way I am 1/8 Cherokee Indian so it isn't like I'm going to deny the atrocities performed by the hand of the US government against Native Peoples. You misinterpreted what I said. Nonetheless, I NEVER said there were no Indians.
Also I'm 25 years old, and you are? Just the same I am not being "spoonfed" anything, I fact check all things, I hardly ever take anything at face value. And I have no problem getting along with people that disagree, but if they are wrong I will always point it out. I hope that doesn't offend you. Just because I'll debate the issues by which we are in disagreement, do not take me as intolerant, I just have a passion for truth and thats what drives my rebuttals of inaccurate claims and statements...

Oh and my disagreement with Wiki is that it pretty much makes one small vague paragraph about the religious nature behind Thanksgiving, lack of details. etc. As they are with most events in US History that were heavily religious in nature or influence...
