It is. Look up "passive aggression" in an old DSM (III) manual. They don't want to admit they're forcing it on you but they are.

Thanksgiving is meaningful to me b/c it's one of the few days every year where all of my family members have work off, so I get to see everyone I care for.

That's cute, but it still doesn't have a real meaning. I guess I'm just against senselessly conforming because it's what you have been told, that doesn't mean I don't celebrate thanksgiving I just don't see a real purpose for it. I guess that makes me an idiot, and you a fuckin' genius.

It's not about senselessly conforming, it's about having the chance to see my family. It's just coincidental that the day I'm able to do this is Thanksgiving, but because it is, I'm going to celebrate it.

i think we should all take on the native american/indian belief system and be done with it 
and live in houses made of sticks and smoke peace pipes all day.

in response to the OP. you are right it is retarded for you to have to hold their hand, and there is obviously no reason you SHOULD. that being said i know if i was in that situation I would pray with them. its a silly little thing to you, but it would mean a lot to your family, it doesnt hurt to play along once in a while .

Ding! Ding! Ding!
Family has more "meaning" to me then I'll ever fully understand. I love when everyone can get onto the same collective wavelength and be together. I love watching people in traffic, in the market, etc. all with one thing in mind.
Thanksgiving has the power to set up the context for creating those moments where you go "ahh, this is what life is all about".
But hey, maybe you're family doesn't communicate well it sounds? In that case, maybe there's no magic at your thanksgiving celebrations? Shitty.

haha, this argument is silly. Bottom line, getting pissy about having to hold hands and "pray" with YOUR family while you are about to eat THEIR food is bitchy. Only merit you could argue is if they wanted you to pray. Anyway, retarded thing to bitch about.

I always find it intersting that people build an argument based on the "anyone who deosn't believe what I believe is insane and they are ignorant" platfoem while they use the same type of attack used by those they don't agree with, AGAINST those whom they don't agree with.
Which basically makes their very exsistance out to be a parody of the very issue, day, religion, whatever, that they disagree with.
Of course I could be wrong, and I need morre wine, but...
This thread has been amusing.

people get fucking butthurt too easily. suck it up OP and don't bring that whiny crap in here. this is your battle, what the hell do you expect any of us to do except some of us agree with you, and some of us disagree with you. it was well apparent that no one was going to change your mind, so what the fuck?
