Luckily the British don't celebrate Thanksgiving to mark the date we settled in a country displacing natives, stealing all the resources and committing genocide, otherwise I would be eating Turkey every day of the year

Great, a bit of politics.

Commiserations to the American indigenous folk who had their country stolen from them.
Can't see them celebrating much.

Thanks for the reminder to message my family to wish them all the best. My sister was home to get married a couple of weeks back so before she left Mrs Slick put on a massive spread so we could celebrate Thanksgiving as well as Christmas before she had to head for home leaving her new husband behind.

Technically, they were never indigenous. They migrated from Asia across the Bering Strait land bridge and helped themselves to it.

The land belongs to whomever is capable, stong and willing enough to possess it. Darwinism knows of no other method. I'm not suggesting that it is right or moral, but righteousness and motality are abstract concepts which can't be eaten or used as weapons.

Righteousness and morality are luxury items that can only be enjoyed because someone beforehand has used force to bring about the prevailing conditions that allow it. The latter can never exist without the former. May as well get used to it, because neither nature or human behaviour permit anything else.
