Today is the day to celebrate of giving Thanks, But, as laotian-American, we don't really need to compare our self to those pilgrimages that land on Plymout, Massachusetts in 1600 something years or those land in Jametown early1600. But we, came as the civil war and cold war broke-out, some leave for political reason, some leave just because of economic hardship for a better life,  and some leave because of the situation changed, and some leave because they see other people leave and have fun with leave and got stuck at the Camp and end-up send back home by the host countries. so anyway, as a times pastby, 10-years, 20-years, 30-or even 40 years, we were melt into societies and new world and change little by little. some change to fully Americans, some stay the same for whatever reason.  Happy Thanks-Giving to all.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone around the world including Laotian people. Tonight,I will consume plenty of red wines. Of course deep fry "Turkey" will be my special dish.

May all Lao enjoy meat in the freezer and bags of rice in the pantry.

Very fresh killed guang yai for dinner here.

You're dead wrong! Thanksgiving is not religious celebration so which means any body can celebrate this holiday as long as you like turkey hahaha.

You don't know what Thanksgiving mean, i think you come from the wood.

 

If you saw the document called Darwin and Natural Selection Theory then you will see Catholism in a very different way....in Christian Bible it said Jesus Christ created all being in this planet by dirt ans ash, in 7 days....such a myth but still there are many people followed this religious....Darwin had a lot of troubles with the churches when he believed in people are from apes.....Buddhism is good for asian and good for Laos.

What a hell is Thanks Giving?  Who are you thanking and giving?  Is this just the American thing?

White people from England said thank you to native americans  for giving them  a lot of time to plan to take over your country. Giving? When white people landed on usa soil safely,native american gave them delicious food to eat also taught them how to plant corn and many things more to surive. When white people had enough skills, they realized this land is very valuable. Soon enough they gather together then decided to kill all americans as much as they can.  This is what Thanksgiving all about.  This is not happening in only US. It also happened to Laos country too. Vietnamese and Chinese said Thanks for giving free lands,profits,and no tax. This is Lao Thanksgiving(first day of opening sea game).

Slave:

1 : a person held in servitude as the chattel of another
2 : one that is completely subservient to a dominating influence
3 : a device (as the printer of a computer) that is directly responsive to another
4 : drudge, toiler

From definitions above, Lao-americans are not slave since they have freedoms.

Lao outside Laos, especially Lao Americans (Gosh, I dislike that word, Laonork) are slaves.  Slave to their greed and desire.  Slave to their house mortgage, their car's loan, their appetite for greasy fast food.  Slave to their brand name clothes and apparels,  slave to over-price ticket for boring American football, and slave to Apple who gets them hook on the Iphone and Ipod.

You're right!! Everybody wants to catch up with the Jones nowadays. Iphone? we have two, that is $170 a month after discount for civil service employee, and we get stuck for two years. Oh yeah, she only drives Lexus and carries $2k hand bag not including the purse inside the bag. It is sad that we make over 150k a year and beside our retirement accounts, we have little saving at the end of the year.
