Hello everyone!

No matter what side you are on, I want to ask you to write three things you are thankful for.

This has nothing to do with who is on what side. There is no motive behind this post. I just wanted to lighten the mood a little bit.

At the end of the day, we are all looking for the same things in life: happiness, love, etc. We all just have different ways and ideas on how to get there.

Here is my list:

  1. I am thankful for the troops that are oversees fighting for us.

  2. I am thankful for my family

  3. I am thankful for my good health

What is on your list? :)

Troops overseas fighting for you? What are they getting for you?

[-] 1 points by pinki (40) 13 years ago

I appreciate you posting, however, the point of this thread is not to get in to a heated discussion or to ask questions such as this one. Please, post what you are thankful for if you intend to keep posting. I really want to keep this thread light-hearted and stop for a second to think of the things we do have, instead of what we don't have.

I know there are many people with differences of opinions on here, but I wanted to find a way for everyone to come together on one thing and that is to find three things you are thankful for.

If you may ask though, I am thankful for the troops oversees fighting for my freedom and safety. I realize other people may have different views on this as well, but I am thankful for them and that is all that matters. Please, let's stay on topic.

Thank you :)

If you sleep easier at night knowing the arabs under your bed won't get ya, then I guess they're doing their job.

What are you thankful for?

I'm thankful for your good attitude.

That's not sarcasm.

[-] 1 points by pinki (40) 13 years ago

In all seriousness, I really wasn't being sarcastic. I am curious to know. You, like I, are a human being. I am sure you have things you are grateful for too. :)

Have good night! I'm out for tonight.

I'm thankful: ~For the hope... that my family and other people like us might see a future they deserve ~For the solidarity that people have maintained through many challenges (I'll be out there too, soon) ~For the life I am able to live and the choices I am able to make ~For all the people close to me who I love and support and who love and support me.

I am thankful that I have a butt and a toilet to poop in. That is all.

Oh yes, and Dasani water. Because when I go to the store to get some and it's the last case on the shelf, I am soooo thankful.
