Thanks for the wild turkey and
the passenger pigeons, destined
to be shit out through wholesome
American guts.


Thanks for a continent to despoil
and poison.
Thanks for Indians to provide a
modicum of challenge and
danger.

Thanks for vast herds of bison to
kill and skin leaving the
carcasses to rot.
Thanks for bounties on wolves
and coyotes.

Thanks for the American dream,
To vulgarize and to falsify until
the bare lies shine through.

Thanks for the KKK.

For nigger-killin' lawmen,
feelin' their notches.

For decent church-goin' women,
with their mean, pinched, bitter,
evil faces.

Thanks for "Kill a Queer for
Christ" stickers.

Thanks for laboratory AIDS.

Thanks for Prohibition and the
war against drugs.

Thanks for a country where
nobody's allowed to mind the
own business.

Thanks for a nation of finks.

Yes, thanks for all the
memories-- all right let's see
your arms!

You always were a headache and
you always were a bore.

Thanks for the last and greatest
betrayal of the last and greatest
of human dreams.

I hope all Americans burn in hell!

More like Americunts! AM I RITE?

Burroughs for the win.

Honestly? Yes.

ITT: people without pie.

BAH, HUMBUG!

Oh wait, too early.

Sorry, this made me laugh.

America is evil. Americans are generally good people. The truest crime of American history, is the ability of a few wicked and vile people to control the minds of the masses, and perpetrate the great evils of American history, which shall remain unnamed at this time, be we all know of them well..

Americans rise up from your sleep and slumber, praise the Savior in true love of all humanity, for He is a good lover of Mankind, and makes it to rain upon the wicked and the just alike...

I am thankful that there are still millions and billions of bright souls left in the world, to do spiritual battle against the forces of evil and apathy which plague the earth with selfish destruction and sufferation!

Are we talking about the illuminati?

shhh.. the beast will find the keyword.

ahem.. (clears throat)

I am talking about the Mormons of course! (cover)

Mormons are nice people, now run along and play nice with the other kids, till dinner is ready.

burroughs is a rad american.
many of the US people who post here are rad too.
i hate to say things in general, i've always hated that 'burn all americans' type of hype.
so whats on the average american? or the average bulgarian, kosovar, englishman, etc.
i don't even have the sweet opportunity to curse on US president.

PS but you people should've given Ron Paul a chance.

Yeah, letting American megacorporations define foreign policy is a great idea.

Also an outdated policy to the economy.

I love to see pictures of good ol white kids hating america, it is much better then the usual

Hahahah are you serious?!

I hope not.. I wonder if he realizes that a good deal of the current American government is NAZI influenced? Right down to german speaking police dogs!

Same. At first I thought he was being ironic, but then it got past the point of no return when he got to talking about the Russian Empire (???)..

weren't we only a few votes away from being a german speaking country when this country was founded?

edit: i was wrong. it was just some german settlers wanting german text in some newspapers that got voted down. damn high school german class for their lies.

The spirit of thanks giving is the original environmentalist impulse of the American identity learned from the Native Americans, but as with all noble things, the consumerizing culture of the post-industrial America swept the spirit as well as the Native Americans to the margin. A simple walk in the late autumn wilderness before the family dinner will do more to re-invoke this ancient Americanism.

is it true that if you delete system32, your pc will run faster?

Thanksgiving Day only became an official holiday once Northerners dominated the federal government. In 1863, after the famous battle at Gettysburg, Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of Thanksgiving to be held on August 6. Soon the public began to ask for an annual observance, so in 1867, President Andrew Johnson established the last Thursday in November as the official Thanksgiving Day. Two attempts were made by later presidents to adjust the date: in 1870 Ulysses S. Grant moved it to November 18 and from 1939 to 1941, Franklin D. Roosevelt moved it back a week to extend the Christmas shopping season.

oh boy LET ME FIND OUT!
