I hope that all of us may remember when we are complaining about the little things, That someone elses life is not as fortunate as ours. With as many problems that the United States has, I am eternally grateful that I live here, and am thankful for all that I have.  feel free to also leave your thoughts on life and the fortunate things you do have.  here is what i am referring to.    http://www.stillpictures.com/categories/unep/UNEP02_2.html

Has anyone ever considered what taxes are used for?  (besides padding the politicians wallets?)  Where do you think that the money for disaster relief comes from, where do you think the money for housing and food programs comes from, where do you think the money to pay for our emergency services comes from?  We all have a part in paying for those things.  And for those people that complain about having to take care of those that aren't able to do so for themselves at any point in time in their life.  I pray that you never find yourself in such an unfortunate situation.  So many have gotten there by no fault of their own.  There are doctors and lawyers and successful business people that were at the top of their game, but unfortunate circumstances - illnesses, natural catastrophes, etc have left them with nothing and trying to start their lives over again.  Don't be so quick to judge - someday someone just may be passing judgment on you.

I think sometimes good people are good because bad stuff happens to them. I am one of those people. At times, I think I may be the unluckiest person in the world, however, I've learned some awesome lessons in every one of them. It doesn't get me down, I keep a positive attitude. Don't get me wrong though, it does suck.

I think they would be AMAZED beyond words that so much has happened since their time on Earth!! If they were aware of ALL the issues ,demands and criticisms thrown at our country, they WOULD be pleased....it is not easy being a "super power." No matter what we do, someone is greatly thankful and someone is greatly dismayed.\nHappy Thanksgiving and God bless our wonderful country......\n"the last best place on Earth." a quote by Abraham Lincoln

Absolutley. I never really show how grateful I am or how well off I have it compared to other people. I wish that I could show it more. So from now on I will try my hardest to make every moment of my life worth it and not take anything for granted anymore. Thank you and I wish there were more people like you out there.

It sucks because you think it does.  Everyone has at least one thing in life to be thankful for.  I agree with worried...life will get better.

honey, I'm in complete agreement with you & that goes for all of us....we should be grateful for who we are & what we are & no matter what our circumstances, there is always somebody worse off so "hats off" to you!\n♀ ☼ ☻ ☺ ♫ ♪ ♥ ♀ ☼ ☻ ☺ ♫ ♪ ♥ ♀ ☼ ☻ ☺ ♫ ♪ ♥

Do you mean if there is any change in the world hunger/starvation situation?  We shouldn't do anything in the event of change .... WE SHOULD **BE** THE CHANGE!  The United States is blessed beyond belief with resources, and we should share them with others... not just other countries but with our own people as well.   There are so many poor people right here in the United States.  Now I am certainly not suggesting that we only take care of "our own"...but rather that we should help ourselves AND those in other countries.  Are you in the U.S.?  If so then I'm sure that you are aware of the enormous amount of food that rots in the dumpsters.  It's sickening.  There is so much that we could do, but yet we don't do it because our focus is on earning a buck and making sure that the rich here remain as exactly that- RICH.  Major reform is needed.  Generosity is needed.

just wanted to let you know i am in the same boat as you are, except this is my first year of marriage. i am a very proud army wife who was completely disgusted by the lack of support from some morons on here. but, for every one negative comment, there were ten good ones. plenty of people support our troops so try not to focus on the negative feedback, those come from people who dont have a clue as to what it is to be American. It's so easy for them to jump on the "military bashing bandwagon" because they have to blame someone, and unfortunately it is always our military that gets the short end of the stick. I support ALL our soldiers, not just my husband, and i will continue to support them until they ALL come home. God bless you and your family, keep your head up!

My Thanksgiving Day is full of so many of life's blessings -- and I'm not speaking those of monetary value -- that I'm grateful just to be there with my husband, mom and her husband and sister.  I say all my thank you's to my Higher Power before I embark on my journey to fill my 3 day dietary quota and when we're all there, you can bet I soak up every minute of being there in one piece and you're damn right--be thankful people!  And I'll be glad to watch whatever football game is on because I have terrible reception on my home TV.  :)

I, too, am a sensitive person and an American.  I understand what you are saying.  There are some people in this country who see only the mistakes of our own natioin but not the ATROCITIES of the terrorists.  I can not comprehend how their minds work.  If it is THAT bad here, why don't they move to a country that better suits their beliefs?  I mean this sincerely.  I'm fairly certain that someone will bash me for this last statement.  I am not saying to "go to hell."  I am sincerely asking a simple question.  I choose to stay in my homeland because I love my country. That doesn't mean I agree with everything . That would be unusual to agree with EVERYTHING.  I'm saying that if it is THAT awful for some people, why not choose to be happy and go where you will find peace of mind and contentment?  Here's the deal as I see it....these people take for granted all the freedoms that they have in this country. They take for granted all of the opportunities that are available to them.  They are looking for Eutopia, I can only imagine.  Well brothers and sisters, "this is the last best place on earth" and I for one ain't going nowhere!!!!

You know, i have been wondering the same thing. I have been having some really bad problems here lately, and to be honest i thought that i could count on some of yahoo answers to help, and be nice. But, still there were some that are not helping, and answering stupidly just to get 2 pts. I dont know how much more longer i will continue to use yahoo if i keep getting negative feed back. It sounds like you and i are on the same page. Keep me in mind, and please answer my questions, and i will answer yours, and that way we know we can count on you and I!

Hey, it may be a good thing if there is another country out there that would support us once the USA is a third world nation due to the massive amount of people allowed or not allowed to migrate. After all we've supported everyone else for a very long time while our own citizens suffer from hunger and neglect so I suppose turn around would be fair. I'd like to sit on my a_s and have the 'good' working people of some far off land give me shelter, food and free medical care.

I'm thankful things are as well as they are but I wish I was with my family.  The main thing it to be thankful every day for everything in your life and to love your family while there's time since we never know when it might be the last chance to do so. God bless!

Good for you. :) I like when people post good things like this. You know, everyday is a good for me. I have my problems, but we all do. Sometimes my problems are unbearable,but I learn to live with them knowing that someone is feeling worse than I am and I know that every problem has its solution and it's a matter of attitude.  A good attitude really chases the pain away. :)\n\nI wish that you have more good days ahead of you.

Your boredom is allowing many of us to to live here in Utopia, I mean the US.  \n\nJust think for every one of you overseas there are ten of us that are thankful for your efforts, even if all you can do is re-tie your boots all day.  If I ever become wealthy I will donate to Veterans causes. I'm ex-military (late 80's) and I could have been put in your shoes - I was lucky.\n\nIgnore NONAME, that was uncalled for and will probably get reported.
