A debate about morality.Follow

#1 Jun 11 2004 at 3:11 PM Rating: Decent
The subject is morality. Now when the Europeans were done ruining their continent with bland food and soccer riots and after the arrival of the Americans in Europe in the late 15th century, the subject soon turned to morality. You see, the Europeans wanted to colonize America so they had somebody to make fun of. The pilgrims left England for the religious freedom in Holland where they visited coffeeshops and they packed up their ships with plenty of coffee, tea, and cakes to liven up the trip, they set sail to the new world... Which they heard had a magnificent rollercoaster! Once they got here, they were very hungry having been on ship for 65 days. So, they ate for three days straight. Thanksgiving soon became an annual custom. America was founded by people who wanted a place where they could tell other people how to live, and I'm a history major. But do we have the right? The question: Is it moral to celebrate Thanksgiving, a holiday that is clearly about gluttony, annoying relatives, and awful casserole?

Taken from a videogame and slightly changed, but still an interesting discussion

At least tell me why I get rated down? Are you an immoral person, shy to tell why you are? It's no big deal, you're anonymous. And flames from people you haven't even seen you don't hurt, if you get flamed at all! People in this forum are quite polite if you ask them to! Come on, don't be shy!

I think it's totally moral, as long as you use it for what it's name means - "Thanksgiving" or giving thanks.

And even if you don't, and just use it to get together to eat and hang with your friends, nothing wrong with that either.

I think you are right, what's better then hanging out with good friends, a casserole, and annoying relatives? You might even get to make new friends aswell!

It wasnt a debate when you made the title, it should have been "a potential debate about morality" or "a statement that might be follow up and start a debate about morality", why dont we have a debate about that so that it makes your title wrong so that i am proved right in the debate im trying to start now and i dont have to take part in your stupid one.
