Y'all have a good one, anyway.

There's always one party pooper in the crowd who wants to mess things

Party pooper.

Anyway, as we all know, Thanksgiving was invented for one reason only.

FOOTBALL!!! :)

the way of Christmas. I wonder who will be the first to outlaw it's
celebration in the schools. Looks like Seattle is leading the pack

It is easy to understand why many Native Americans would consider the
white man holiday of "Thanksgiving" anathema, since the white man
invasion of the North American continent resulted in the wholesale
slaughter of Native Americans, and the death of their various cultures.

Who is LSU playing this weekend and what is the line?

Arkansas - 13.

Over/Under is 60.

I'd give the 13 and bet the under.

If I were a betting man that is. :)

The Native Americans / First Nation people were always at war with each
other. Fighting over a berry patch or the plains areas. The Apaches were
in the Southwest desert because the Sioux had run them off the fertile
plains.

You're trying to rationalize the white man's slaughter of native
Americans now? How very "conservative" of you. Puke.

And the Sioux were on the plains because the Ojibwe/Chippewa forced them
out of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Though there were areas, usually with
bountiful resources, that the First Nations lived in peace. It's also
true, that some of the bloodiest battles were European inspired. The
Beaver Wars for example. There is a quite interesting First Nations
website with short histories of many tribes.

They lost all the wars. The first explorers killed most of the natives via
disease, just as the natives have killed a lot of Europeans via Syphilis.
Not rationalizing anything. Just pointing out the natives were not a
peaceful society.
