Simple poll question, extended replies are optional.

Personally, I kind of forgot [don't hate me uncle Sam], I ended up spending the first half of the day with my aunt in the hospital, out on town with my dad, and some more time with another aunt. Yeah, I'm a bit old-fashioned, big deal.

My brother and sister on the other hand celebrated with fireworks and friends, I don't know if hot dogs were supplied.

Anyone else?


[I hope this question isn't out of line in any way]

And it's also the day (4th July) the USA achieved independence.
 
it was funny when he kicked the alien for smelling like barbeque but that doesnt explain what independance day is :?


oh just read the rest of ur post, lol thanks i see :)
 
It's not a gigantic deal in Southern California any more. Mexican Independence Day (Cinco de Mayo)...now that is a holiday!
 
I don't think many people even care what the 4th of July means anymore. Now it is firecrackers, beer, and barbacue. Oh well, this will happen when any holiday becomes commercialized.

Don't suppose the movie helped much either.

I agree. It's just an excuse to be wild.

We had ours a few days ago, and yes, I would care seeing as how we're mini-Americans and half my family lives there.

:D
 
Though the Canada vs USA feuds are somewhat amusing, especially when presented in the form of 'Due South', I'm thinking it might be better for this particular thread if we don't all go down that road.
 
I love Canada I went there a couple years ago, the people were great. Good peaceful people

I know I know off topic, wont happen again

:sl:

I got a really hilarious Washington Post article about old secret US & Canadian war plans to invade each other (real plans).

The author actually turns the piece into a satire. I think it would be good to break from all this political tension.

Can I submit it here or start a new thread?
 
Throughout most of my life I celebrated my family celebrated my birthday on the Fourth. So my poor kids grew up thinking the Fourth of July was for me.

I stopped celebrating it when I stopped celebrating my birthday.

It is a good day for us as Americans to stop and think for a few minutes that at one time not very long ago, we were an oppressed nation and we had to fight for our right to exist as a Nation. Perhaps we also should remember that there may be other people in the world facing what we faced in 1776.
