Thanksgiving is a Hoax
13 years ago
1. The significance is ironic and lost. No one's thankful unless they are climbing up from being pushed down onto their knees.
2. It's a hassle and it's unhealthy. Millions of American's gorge on massive amounts of food that causes obesity and indigestion.
3. Half the people attending the dinner are probably only interested in the next day's Black Friday's sales.
4. It's all an act. Everyone "pretends" to be nice unless there's alcohol. Then they're all either very nice and goofy or really mean and pissed off.
5. It is inefficient. You are traveling hundreds of miles just to attend a single dinner. Yes, you get to see your relatives but we have facebook for that, and quite a lot of people prefer that method more than face-to-face interaction.
I could go on, but I'm sure I have offended at least one person reading this. No? Oh, well America is a country of capitalist pigs that are selfish, greedy, and wasteful idiots that think they are on top of the world.
Yes, I'm in a pissed off mood. I'm expected to go down to Austin alone on a 4 hour drive, spend two days of my time there, and then come back. My sister's down there, my car needs the brake's fixed, and the only reason why I'm expected to do this is because my mother put me on a guilt trip by pointing the ipad at me while my grandmere (grandmother) was on a webcam chat. And who the hell can say no to their elders like that? When your parents are right behind them?
Well I'm probably going to get yelled at for this, but I'm just not going. ANYWHERE. I don't care and I don't want to waste my time to this hoax of a holiday.
