A_Good_Boy 06/20/22 1:01:25 PM #45:	Why only stop at Juneteenth? Shouldn't we celebrate Giving Thanks Day? Thanksgiving doesn't make any sense either. What the fuck is even a halloween anyways? Just from the name you can't even tell which flag you should be flying on Flag Day, and that's why I fly the Confederate one. Why the fuck does Mike Tyson even get a holiday anyways? Boxing Day is stupid af. --- Who is? I am! <cite>A_Good_Boy posted [p:965962703] in The absurd... [t:80064486]...</cite> <quote>Why only stop at Juneteenth? Shouldn't we celebrate Giving Thanks Day?

Even worse when people come in and say, it sucks you have to work today. I think the worst though was, and yes this one did get to me a bit, is when I saw a Casino advertising giveaway jackpots and shit on Martin Luther King day. ~That one did rub me the wrong way. --- "Whatever the reason you're on Mars, I'm glad you're there, and I wish I was with you." ~Carl Sagan.

Should have a better name to better reflect the meaning of the holiday. We should call it National Day of Eating Turkey and Arguing with Family. --- As pieces start coming apart she'll stitch those wings to your heart But it's not what you wanted she looks deep in your eyes she sees all your flaws <cite>Error1355 posted [p:965962732] in The absurd...

It just seems like you're looking for people to coddle you for being ignorant That's probably it. Thank you Conflict for clearing that up for me. --- "Whatever the reason you're on Mars, I'm glad you're there, and I wish I was with you." ~Carl Sagan.

Hold my hand and I won't. :-) Honestly, guys, I'm not losing my shit over this...I just think it's an odd name that explains nothing about what it represents. ~That's not really a far-out opinion. It's just a completely unnecessary opinion. And btw when I said you were telling on yourself I didnt mean that I think you're literally a proponent of slavery, I meant that this topic comes across as subtly racist which it does.
