at my work, they do not allow thanksgiving themed items for fear someone would get offended by it.
This is the United States, it is a national celebration, if you find it offensive, GTFO.
EDIT:
I'm referring to my work, in the United States, not here on the forums.

As I am Canadian my Thanksgiving is in Oct.
However, I have so much to be thankfull for I'd be more than willing to celebrate it twice.
Special thanks to the GOG team!
& to all who help make this community the best one on the web.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Not knocking your national celebration here, but saying "This is the United States, GTFO" on a board run by a Polish company, with users from all over the world, might be construed by some as being somewhat arrogant.
It is a bit weird to say that this is the United States. It's the internet, there are no borders anymore.
Happy Thanksgiving anyway. Hope you have a good un.

Yeah, I'm just talking about people at my work, so I can see how someone retarded might not get the context, with me explicitly saying I'm talking about my work before hand. Some people, I swear, just get so upset over the tiniest little things.. oh well.

1. This is not your place of work, and nowhere did you imply you were at your place of work.
2. In the sentence "this is the United States, get the fuck out", the word "this" gramatically has to refer to a common location shared by you and the person you're adressing, in this case, this forum.
3. Why do I, a non-native English speaker have to teach English to a native English speaker?
4. The USA is not the whole world, not even remotely. If, when dealing with people from outside the US, you demonstrate an attitude of superiority because of your nationality, be prepared to be met with less than exhilaration.
5. I don't think I'll start a thread in here the next time an exclusively Danish holiday comes around. Still, I have nothing whatsoever against thanksgiving, and I do hope you have a happy one.
Here's hoping our little holiday finds you having a good day, no matter where you're at.

Wishbone, seriously, chill out and get off your high horse. There is no need for yet another pointless internet argument here. Wec was obviously referring to the attitude at his workplace, its not his fault you couldn't grasp that.
In the spirit of giving thanks (regardless of whether or not it is a national holiday), I am thankful for my family, my friends and the hope of a better day. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Well I was specifically complaining about how my work does not allow thanksgiving stuff, etc. It's not my fault if someone takes it out of context. I hope you're not upset thinking I was referring to you as a retard, because you clearly understood that I was referencing my work, otherwise you wouldn't have said people could conceive my statement incorrectly. I understand that clearly. :)
but here, how about I edit my post? I speak Japanese (actually very little compared to what I used to, but I still picked up some bad habits) as well, and sometimes I make statements that are sort of contextual. A lot of people get confused because of it.
