I'm bored and thought we could share our upcoming thanksgiving dinner (or previous depending on posting time).

That's only a weird American custom, insignificant in a global scale.

Actually, Canada, the Netherlands, Grenada, Libera, and Norfolk Island celebrate the holiday.
Google also recognizes it as a major holiday of importance as well.

That also means you have to respect it anyway, if you respect the rules

I knew about Canada, but the Netherlands? I'd like to hear some confirmation about it from actual dutch people. There may be a lot of Americans, but that still doesn't make it any less insignificant on a worldly scale.
Just to clarify that there are other nationalities and cultures out there on the internet. Which some of you may be unaware of since English is a widely used language.

It's celebrated by a certain church there.

Generalizing stereotypes based on locale are a bad thing, TRL. Do you honestly believe that all American's know nothing about the outside world? If that's the case, am I to also understand that you think everyone from the US are plump, lazy, ignorant, warmongering buffoons?
Who's being culturally insensitive now?

I wasn't referring to you nor was I generalizing. The fact this topic exists just proves my standpoint. Clearly the creator had little idea we weren't all americans here.

We don't resent it, thanksgiving just doesn't have any meaning to us and you seem not to sure of it's meaning either.

For most it's just an excuse to get together and have a nice big dinner. It's more of a social thing rather than a meaningful holiday. At least for my family and my friends families it is. Maybe some people take it very seriously. I doubt it though.

The first 15 revisions (and the creation) of the wiki topic was created by individuals living in India, Netherlands, and England. If you are referring to this THREAD topic (you didn't specify), you have absolutely no right to whine, complain, or otherwise counter-insult a culture for celebrating a particular holiday. The original poster made no assumptions or insensitive remarks whilst you just chimed in with nothing but negativity and disrespect.
Do your research and consider alternate points of view before hatemongering individuals from the US so much.
This is your final warning, TRL.

we celebrate thanks giving in India but don't eat chicken
still the festival teaches us a lot of things
and most of all makes us feel grateful that we have a life and we have people to care for us
edit-we can eat chicken any time

The traditional meal in a Thanksgiving dinner is generally turkey although some like the alternatives like ham and chicken. I myself prefer ham or chicken over turkey, never been a fan of it.

Final warning for what? I'm not "hatemongering" anything...
I'm calmly explaining my point of view. It's you who's getting worked up over nothing.
