    Independence day !!

    For everyone out that that celebrates their independence on the day of July 4th, I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday.

    "The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more"
    ~ John Adams


    He was a couple days off on when the tradition would take hold, but to this day we hold true to the traditional celebrations.

    Everyone has problems, but darn its good to be American !

    Have fun and be safe, and blow some shiat up!

    Sir, I salute your patriotism.

    Does Canada have an equivalent holiday to our independence day?

    the second one was hot
    "George never did wake up. And, even all that talking didn't make death any easier...at least not for us. Maybe, in the end, all you can really hope for is that your last thought is a nice one...even if it's just about the taste of a nice cold beer."

    "If you find the right balance between desperation and fear you can make people believe anything"

    "Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"

    It's simpler than you think.

    I could be completely wrong"

    FFS, even the first bloody Merkin was ****ing up the English language... one day does not make an epoch by any stretch of the imagination!
