I have an unbiased account of the good and bad of 4th July.
pros
1 its all about dumb fire works and barbeques and dosent at all represent the true meaning.
2 Its the day we gained independance.
Cons
1 no longer do we have nice british accents because of the revolution.
2 no longer do us Americans have hot girls with british accents.
3 we now have the 2nd ammendment.
4th The Congress that signed the Declaration of Independance wich we so celebrate on 4th of Jully where apart of a diabolic cult known as the Free Masons.
5th had their been no revolution slavery in America would have been outlawed way before it would have ended when america was a seperate country. (england outlawed Slavery before US)
6th loads of tax dollars are wasted on fire works to amuse idiots.
7th George Washington is liar and a traitor who turned against his own country he vowed to swear under. I declare George Washington a traitor and its time others start seeing it the way I do.
8th The Congress was a bunch of idiots where the north and south constantly yelled at eachother over stupid things.
That is the unbiased account of the 4th of Jully.

Haha, you're verbally pwned, m'duck! You can have the guns, we'll keep the birds!
Yes, I have combined a Midlands accent with leetspeak. In text. I went there :D. Oh, and quick primer of Brit accents. Dorset/Somerset accents.... not so hot (they sound like the characters in Fable). Welsh... debatable (see the series Torchwood). Bit of a Scottish or posh accent=HOT.
Thus ends the lesson. I'm available to speak for amusement on clan Vent servers by request.

Tell you what Dr D... you find yourself a nice big crate, smack a packing slip for London England on the side of it, and climb on in. Then I'll come over and tap the nails in, and wheel your ass down to the local FedEx store.
That way you can renegotiate our terms with the British, and perhaps once more reunify us with our God chosen mother country. Plus, with you gone, the people where you live can go back to enjoying their dumb fireworks and barbeques.
Of course this is just my "unbiased" solution.
Happy 4th of July! Semper Fidelis.

The fourth of jury is a wonderful holiday full of alcohol and barbecues and if you don't like that just go take a nap and listen to the explosions outside your window showing you how much fun we are having...and remember if you get hit by a stray firework. Currat ad lucem.

Holidays accomplish things like this thread, they make you think and remember.
No matter if the thoughts are good or bad or indifferent, the holiday has accomplished its purpose.

That is fairly funny though, since the French flag is Red White and Blue (maybe that's where we got the colors, since the French helped us in the war?)

I do find it pretty interesting how patriotic you americans all are. I mean, when we had our own equivalent of the 4th of july, 6th of June, few people had any idea why school was off.
Seriously, I woke up and was about to go to school when I heard it, and was all...."Whyyyy?" "Oh..."

Other way around. The French revolutionists used our colors for their flag, which we in turn had taken from the British flag. History is weird.

Haha…I especially love many of you young bucks on EfU. Dr. D…As my Australian dad says…American Independence Day isn’t solely about the U.S. separating from England. Rather, it is about the newly founded “Americans” putting a trademark stamp on the idea that you can win a fight against a militarily superior adversary, providing your cause is just (Desire for Freedom) and you have a few friends (French). Lets keep in mind, England was a bunch of bad asses back in the day, which damn near colonized the world.
So, American Independence Day showed every country around the world that there was another feasible option to accepting monarchy rule and 50% taxation of wages. So this is to everyone…Happy Independence Day!

Most of you probably know me as a crazy radical liberal revolutionary. I'd say that was pretty accurate. However, despite all our screw ups, the dream that was America turned into a wonderful reality. Our revolution set the pace for the rest of the world to follow. One only need to read the declaration of independence to understand that the ideologies that founded my nation were wonderful marks that we should try to live up to today.
People like George Washington, Adams, and the other founders could have lived happy, wealthy lives forever, but they stood up instead for that which they believed in and risked it all in order to see the people in our nation set free. I'm pretty damned proud of our beginnings as a nation, its the middle and end that are worrisome.
Plus, beer, BBQ and blowing shit up. Big chested, corn fed, milk bred ladies in American flag bikini's. Hating on the 4th? I don't get it.

A shame Hilary shan't be a president, she makes me happy, like cake makes me happy! Obviously, being English, I couldn't disagree more with the 'sexy British accent' nonsense, but I do hope it was fun for all you patriotic Americans!
