.....not 4th of July. The 4th of July is the day we celebrate Independence Day.

Idk why that bothers me so much, but we dont call Christmas the 25th of December or Valentines Day the 14th of February.

Rant over, just a pet peeve of mine. Ignore me and move on.

Have a great INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!!

The fight for independence never ends. We can't become complacent.

You have to admit that it's pretty American to take a date that the entire world recognizes and make it a holiday to celebrate how awesome we are.

HAPPY 4th OF JULY PLANET EARTH!!!!

Been calling it the 4th of July since Reagan was President.

Not really, I'm exaggerating how "angry" it makes me. It has always been weird to me though. Carry on.

A few years ago, some guys from our London office were over visiting in June. One of my co-workers was talking about the upcoming holiday and asked them, "Hey, do y'all have the Fourth of July over in the UK?" To which my Brit friend replied, "Yes, it comes after the third of July and before the fifth. If you are asking if we celebrate the American rebellion, then no, we do not celebrate that."

If there can be a Cinco de Mayo, why not a Quatro de Julio?

OP to be fair we didn't get our independence until October 19, 1781 when the British surrendered at York Town. Happy 4th of July!!!

Just imagine how 1/6 would've played out if DC hadn't had such strict gun laws.

Two people starred his post as of the time of this signature. Those 3 people are allowed to vote in the US.

In America, Cinco de Mayo is just an excuse to get drunk. Just like st. Patricks day. Neither are american holidays so i don't really care.

LOL Cinco de Mayo is only an American holiday.

It's simply another Budweiser holiday (re: Valentine's/Mother's/Father's are Hallmark holidays).

BigRob, i understand the nuance and award you all the points, yes "cinco de mayo" the way drunk americans celebrate is only an American holiday. I was referring to the orgin of the "holiday" as not being American.

Not arguing with you, just clarifying my statements. Enjoy Independence Day.

This is America's Independence Day.

Not Israel's.

GRILL SOME AMERICAN BEEF!
They were on sale!

I am putting grilled onions on it. They were grown in America. And the blue cheese comes from goat farmers in Boone county.

I made my own buns.

You would use bleu cheese. Quickest way to ruin anything is to add bleu cheese.
