As we get celebrate our nation's Independence Day, I'd like to invite my fellow Americans to discuss what you love about this beautiful country of ours.
The fact we`re so better off for jettisoning a colony gone rogue because they thought they didn't need to pay taxes?

You guys go nuts on this site for Independence Day due to the large American user population of the site. Yet, Australia Day has had no prase like this has. [video=youtube;0rErvPnd-2E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rErvPnd-2E[/video]
If there is anything I've learned from Cracked.com It's that everything in Australia is OUT TO KILL YOU. So respect for Australia. But remember, US was a wimpy 13 colonies who took down an entire country in one war. Then when said country came back, we kicked their butts a second time. Then more than a century later, we saved that countries butt in WWI and WWII. The moral of the story is that Spoiler: moral of the story has cursing No matter how fat, a badass is a badass.
Any of you getting up to much for Independence Day? Considering how big the celebrations are for my national holiday (Paddys Day) over there, so I can only imagine this is an even bigger deal!
Without the French, America wouldn't have won the revolutionary war. After Britain marched all the way to D.C. and burned down the White House. In the end, neither side was a clear winner. Both achieved what they wanted out of the war, so I guess you could say they both won. America didn't make a big difference in WW1. They entered the war so late that the Central Powers were already crumbling. And we didn't save Britain in WW2. Germany failed in their attempted invasion by air due to Britain's powerful air defense, and they were never in danger at sea due to having the strongest navy. The only thing America did for Britain was help secure mainland Europe. The UK never needed saving.
Finally, an American that know's how things truly went. Anyway, happy B-Day America without you we wouldn't have fast food (still have hamburgers, thanks to Germany), crisps and marvel comics. Enjoy your party and remember without mother Britania you would probably be speaking, Dutch, Spanish or French and take on a few of their traits.
I intend to celebrate the Fourth properly: -Eat ridiculous quantities of barbeque. -Drink dangerous amounts of alcohol. -Play with explosives.
I like this country. It has nice trees. Quiet, Bruce. [Monty Python, anyone?] To be fair, the British were also fighting other wars at the time and we had France helping us. And they burned the White House down the second time. And yet for some reason, we kept building things out of wood, which was dumb. I should know, I'm from the Chicago area. Well, someone had to.
