Yes, I know that. I was just giving my in general opinion on how the day should be spent.
God bless you always!!!

A day in MY life is not YOURS to spend. MYOB.
It's an internet message board ya silly bunt. Everybody gets to say their piece, much as that much chap your sorry ass.
Yes, and no. You can argue that shopping at Thanksgiving will force more people into the workforce on that day and away from their families. As I said, it's self fulfilling. Soon Thanksgiving won't mean anything except the 1st day of shopping for Christmas. An end to a fine holiday.
Againsheila, your liberal friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a socialist authoritarian age. They do not believe except they are spoon fed by the liberal media. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Sheila, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes, Sheila, there will still be Thanksgiving. It exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Thanksgiving. It would be as dreary as if there were no Sheilas. There would be no gorging on turkey then, no football, no drunken family squabbles to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which overeating fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Thanksgiving if a few stores are open! You might as well not believe in cranberry sauce! You might get your papa to hire men to work on Thanksgiving to earn more money for their families, and some might think it a drag, but even if they did not eat with those families until they got home later, what would that prove? Some people have always worked on Thanksgiving, even if you don't see them from your living room, but that is no sign that there will be no Thanksgiving. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see how your Auntie Judy makes her famous stuffing? Of course not, but that's no proof that it's not there. Nobody can deny what comes out in the bathroom later.
You may tear apart the drumstick to get at the dark meat, but there is always a little stuck to the tendon which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can dig into that bird and consume the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Sheila, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
No Thanksgiving! Thank God! it lives, and it will live forever, even if some stores stay open and some people go to work. A thousand years from now, Sheila, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, we will continue to make pigs of ourselves then fall asleep on the sofa.

Good paraphrase. I find it rather ironic that liberals who don't want anyone's values dictated to them, nor any religion whatsoever make such an effort to dictate the value that Thanksgiving supposedly holds, particularly since it IS a religious holiday. It is not particular to any one religion, but giving thanks is a religious rite.
Keeping the store open that day is completely secular and non religious.
WTF? Liberals most assuredly want to dictate values and religion. The ones they approve of.
Anyone who find him/herself alone on Thanksgiving can ALWAYS go volunteer at the local homeless shelter.
Not on Thanksgiving. The shelters have Thanksgiving a few days early so the workers can tend to their own affairs on Thanksgiving.
What is it with people? If they are alone, they are alone more days than just Thanksgiving. What do they do on all the other days? Do the same thing.
Again ... with commercial enterprises taking people away from a family holiday.............. where is Bill O'Reilly's rant on the War on Thanksgiving?

I'm not a liberal, I'm a moderate. Nice try though.
Oh, and I'm right. Opening the department stores on Thanksgiving is going to lead to the end of Thanksgiving as we know it. It will just be another Christmas shopping day. This does not mean that all families will do this, but eventually, Thanksgiving just won't hold the same meaning for the majority of Americans as it does now. Again, it's a national holiday and the American thing to do would be to close anything that isn't a necessity on those days.

But they do not get to make my choices. You sorry twat.
Nobody presumed to do that. Hollie merely gave her opinion and you jumped on her for not spouting the "approved" one. You and your bullshit about who's trying to control who are thus exposed as hypocrisy personified.

When someone gets on their high horse about what this or that 'should' be they are attempting to direct someone else's choices. Hell, you dems do it all the time. And now you can't even let others decide when to get together for Thanksgiving. You are probably too stupid to figure out how to divide the day between your family and the spouse's family.
When I managed a hospital, no one got every holiday off. Whoever got Thanksgiving worked Christmas and the ones who worked Christmas got Thanksgiving. Some didn't want either day and only wanted New Year's.
If you worked Memorial Day, you got 4th of July, etc. etc. etc. Everyone can't have every day off that they want. I learned the best way was to give the holiday schedule to the staff, tell them what they staffing pattern was expected to be and give them a week to work it out among themselves. They always did.
If you don't want to work on Holidays, don't take a job in a place that is open on holidays. DUH.

He doesn't care if BUSINESSES take it away....he's a conservative and they value money above all else. Of course liberals seem to value themselves above all else so there ya go....

And most people don't work in a hospital or a place that's essential. DUH.
I never once said that it is. Rough day?A day in MY life is not YOURS to spend. MYOB.
I guess.Couple of our posters really have their panties in a wad for anyone that doesn't fall in line, don't they?
I love this!

What is 'essential' was the brunt of Kentucky's Sunday 'blue laws' several years back. You couldn't buy toilet paper on Sunday. People like you just want to dictate what is and is not essential.

Well that's exactly what you did jumping on a poster who simply gave her view. It's also what KG did jumping on me for protecting turkeys. See the pattern.
It's obvious to the rest of us who the wacko control freaks are, but enjoy your bubble. Hope it's nice and soft in there.
"You dems"?
Hey I understand Sheila's a "liberal" too. None so blind...

"People like me"? Or people who jump on others for simply voicing their view on the topic?
"People like me"? Or people who attack others for not slaughtering wild birds?
"People like me"? Or people who presume to tell others what they need to do?
Not hard to see who's dabbling in "dictation" here, Toots. Check your mirror.

Our local church has a Thanksgiving feast EVERY Thanksgiving day. I'm sure they aren't the only ones who do so.
