Alright, I know Kimiakane already brought up it being thanksgiving, but this thread is different! Alright, although not everyone celebrates Thanksgiving, that doesn't mean we can't be thankful! So, what are all you thankful for? I am thankful for this board so that we all can unite and talk about a common hobby! Plus I am thankful for film music in general and the fact that my family is comeing together EVEN THOUGH there's probably gonna be arguing and crabby people... I am still thankful! How about all of you?Clayton

As I already posted elsewhere on this website, Thanksgiving is when we all sit down and express our gratitude to God for inventing smallpox, and to some anonymous Chinese guy for inventing gunpowder, so that the Indians would generously, and willingly, hand over to us everything they ever owned -- forever.[Message edited by perfpitch on 11-22-2001]

oh, ok. Way to ruin something that we're trying to make great. I just wanted people to post what they're thankful for. But lets be pathetic losers and try to put people's moods down by stating something that happened a really long time ago. But if you want to play games like that then here we go. Thanksgiving has nothing to do with God, and they're not called Indians, they're Native Americans ass hole. I'm greatful that no matter what someone else has to destroy something for someone else and then have someone back them up just to attempt to piss someone else off... MAN I LOVE THIS PLACE!Clayton

a "Native American" is someone BORN on North or South American land, and incorrectly refers to Indians.
The aforementioned "Indians" travelled over here just like the evil white people; just on a land bridge rather than big boats filled with disease.They are termed "American Indian," a misnomer yes, but it is what it is.
but anyway, be thankful for all you've got.

Thanks "professor"... but you forgot to add those who are born on CENTRAL America.
Anyway, those natives were called "Indians" just because those people who "discoreved" these lands tought they had arrived on India...

JJH and Andre are more or less correct, in their own way. Anyone born in this hemisphere is, technically, a native American, though with a lower-case "n" (Central America, from the Rio Grande -- or "Rio Bravo del Norte" to the Mexicans -- south to the Panamanian border with Colombia, is considered, geographically, to be part of North America, Andre).The "Native Americans" (upper-case "N"), with whose sensibilities Scoreguy suddenly, and inexplicably, seems preoccupied, are, more correctly, "Aboriginal Americans," the word "aboriginal" referring to any distinct racially- or ethnically-indigenous people populating an area prior to conquest, large-scale migration, or colonization by an outside peoples. Others in this category include the so-called Aborigines of Australia and the Ainu of Japan.
As to the imagined "insult" to said Aboriginal Americans associated with use of the word "Indian," many tribal organizations in the U.S., including the fairly radical group AIM (American Indian Movement), incorporate the supposedly hateful "white-man's" term in their names, which, obviously, no one forced them to do.
