Happy 4th of July

Postby Bill_Thompson » Wed Jul 04, 2007 5:48 pm

Instead of “Happy Independence day” it should be called “Happy National Ducking Out of Our Moral Obligation to Repay The Britons for Defending the Colony During the French-IndianWar Day” But that would just take too long to say, I guess. We can just call it “Happy DOOMO Day” for short.

Our battle cry during the War for Independence was all wrong too. “No Taxation without Representation”, my ass. How about, “sorry you went into debut saving our lives, but we don't like being taxed”.

Indeed. I thought of just opening a thread congratulating you US Americans to* your national holiday. Somehing along the line of "a great holiday commemorating the beginning of a great nation holding up a great ideal and being the hope of many a "tired and poor", 231 years onwards".

But I suppose Bill just spoiled that. And would he have wanted to hear it anyway? So much easier to use the occasion te spew around some more resentment.

Anyway - For the other US Americans here: Happy 4th of July! :l-wave:

Most common usage is "on" but "for" does make sense as well. "To" doesn't seem to me to mean anything in that context.

Happy 4th of July, everyone! :D

National holiday or just another square on the calendar, I hope it's a good one either way. :lol:

Well, I guess we're just like the Iraqi's then. The Brits save our arse from the French, then we kick 'em outa the country.

When Hillary becomes president we should hope an official apology is submitted to the UK for the Boston Tea Party and reunification talks can finally begin so that we can become part of the EU and further the cause of Globalization.

We should apologize to the Japanese for going to war with them after Pearl Harbor. Hawaii was not a state then and we were occupiers anyway. (We were the ones advancing in the Pacific, not the Japanese who were on a campaign of liberation at that time). Come to think of it, we should give Hawaii back to the natives as well.

And, no, I did not buy or observe any fireworks. Some kid in Bakersfield today lit an m-80 or something like that while thinking it was a roman candle and blew off 4 digits. When Hillary becomes president, that is something that should change as well and we will have streamers and confetti made by Our Local Villages.

Well if the truth hurts it should still be swollowed.

Ben Franklin tried very hard to keep the colonies and the UK together. He was noted for being a man of vision.

Maybe next year the 4th will be renamed to be Global Unity Day under Hillary's vision.

Sod off the lot of you, you'll never make it on your own. You'll come crawling back to us, begging to get back in at the first sign of trouble. :D

I prefer to celebrate "Fuck off Puritans Day" in November anyway.

Have a good one.

Absolutely. They'll be back first thing in the morning. If they took the trouble of only once looking at Scotland and how totally absolutely a 100 % happy it is in the Union with England - Well, they would rejoin the Empire tomorrow, wouldn't they? :glp-hiding:

Precisely. But we'll only let them back if they ask nicely.

I can believe that you need to verbalize as you type, but I don't have to. And I have not visited GLP since I saw some video there about "Apollo 20".

Exactly. I say we give New England back to England. Give Alaska back to Russia. Give Hawaii back to the Hawaiians. Give California, Texas and New Mexico back to the Mexicans. And the French and the Native Americans can have the rest. Then anyone occupying these lands who are not supposed to be here can appy for "guest worker" status or return to their native lands, if they will let them back in.

Who is with me?
