Happy Birthday USA

---

This is my favorite holiday. I love the parades and fireworks and all the flags and red, white, and blue things. Bestest of the Best I love the 4th of July!!!

Me too it's the best. Atleast it is when i'm in North Conway. My dad just had to schedule the vacation for the 5th instead this year. :frowning:

I know right! I love it and can't wait.

ive grown to hate it now, all these jackasses lightin em off at 3 in the fucking morning setting my dogs off

just another stupid day........

In reply to: ive grown to hate it now, all these jackasses lightin em off at 3 in the fucking morning setting my dogs off same. or when im trying to go to sleep. cause i usually dont go to bed until pretty late at night. and yeah.

really its like whoopdee fuck its the 4th of july people need to fucking sleep goddamn,whats worse is the shit goes on for like a week

Meanie!

Celebration of the 4th of July just seems like everyone is making a massive deal over nothing. You declared your Independence from Britain. Woohoo. So have lots of other nations, and some of them didn't have the advantage of being about 3000 miles away. The War of Independence was more of a civil war anyway. It divided the colonies between 'Patriots' and 'Loyalists', split families in half.It is far too common for Americans to blow things up way more than they actually are, take the Boston Massacre for example. 5 people die and its called a massacre, thousands of innocent people die in Iraq and its called collateral damage.

Better yet, it happens tobe my sons birthday. he will be 3 on tuesday, he thinks all those fireworks and parades are for him.

I like this holiday. I love waking up at three in the morning to sit and watch fireworks... They are so pretty!

Well if you just think of it as a holiday where you get to blow shit up, then it is cool... Make lots of noise and explosions, instead of thinking of the whole history of things, it is great. Not that I am saying that the history is bad or I don't like what happend, just saying to look at it as a reason to play with things that explode, and it is legal and you can buy them at stores and shops and corners all over town!!! (Just trying to lighten your mood, hope all is well... )

Independence Day is a good day to get drunk and blow stuff up, but the important day is to remember is the day the U.S. Constitution was ratified. Too bad Constution Day (18 Sept.) is not widely celebrated.

Meanwhile, last week the Senate voted 66-34 in favor of a constitutional amendment to ban flag burning. It only fell short by one vote. We must protect that piece of cloth because that's what the soldiers are dying for, rather than the ideas behind it.

Pretty much all cultures have their little patriotic celebrations, whether it's the the Orange Order folks marching (through Belfast, of all places), or Brazilians painting themselves like a Brazilian flag. Such is human group behavior.

Hey stop hating the holiday ok. Dont disrespect it at all What the holiday stands for is that people can hold and express whatever opinion they like. It's the American way. Anyway, one can respect the idea, while not being into all the hoopla. Personally, I'd rather have a barbecue than blow things up; I express my patriotism through the searing of beef, pork, poultry, and whatever hot dogs are made of.

whats in hotdogs?THAT is an interseting thing all in its own.Im with you, but I do love to blow shit up. I prefer military grade explosives though. setting off a few hundred pounds of HE is alot more satisfing then throwing firecrackers in in ant pile.

just another excuse for ppl 2 blow stuff up

I ook forward to it tomorrow. My cousin is having a barbeque meaning the other 500 of my family members are going to be there. The Wyatt Family Football games are to take place. Better get my crutches and heating pads ready. Paramedics on the phone lol.

YEAH!!! WOO!!! It is officially the 4th as of 1 minute ago. I'm going to my friends house for a few hours in the afternoon, but fireworks are illegal there. We're going to shoot them off anyway. Afterwards, I don't know what we're going to do. Hopefully we'll go over to my friend's house, where there's lots of legal space behind where we can shoot bottle rockets at each other. I love fireworks. In reply to: just another excuse for ppl 2 blow stuff up Which just happens to be part of the fun. I split it up between 50% food and 50% fireworks. I have to march in a parade in the morning, though. At the least the weather won't be as hellish as it was last year.

i used to love fireworks until i got shot in the face with a roman candle.

i blow shit up all year, I dont need a fucking excuse aside form wanting to do so.I was out blowig shit up tonight infact. Right now Im working on blowig up my liver, or atleast pissing it off severely.
