Happy Independence Day!

Postby The Liberated Territories » Fri Jul 03, 2015 9:00 pm

Happy Independence Day to all true blooded Muricans today! Today is the day where we forget all our grievances with the US and each other and come to together to celebrate the birthday of Murica.

I am literally with patriotic fervor right now!

FBI, Dept. of Homeland Security Issues Terror Warning

Just leaving this link to show that while yes, we celebrate the anniversary of American Independence with large amount of alcohol, beef, and fireworks, there is a very real threat. I, as well as law enforcement authorities across the country, encourage everyone to stay safe, stay vigilant, and if you see any suspicious activity, report it immediately to local authorities.

Traditionally, Independence Day threads have not been locked, and there's been interesting debate in the past years.

Oh brother. The party poopers have already arrived.

Only around 60 people have died due to "terrorist" attacks since 9/11. Relax will you?

Terrorism is a reality, believe it or not.

Am I the only one that never got excited about Indepednence Day?

The fireworks are cool I suppose, though everything else isn't that great. I also hate hot dogs.

Nachos are pretty gross. Just chips, or Doritos, are a lot better.

Yay, the universe transfers it from being my birthday to my country's birthday!
"They that love beyond the world cannot be separated by it. Death cannot kill what never dies." ~William Penn
"Three for Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne,
In the land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One ring to rule them all, One ring to find them,
One ring to rule them all and in the darkness bind them,
In the land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
"

You are you, and that's what makes you great. Never forget this and you won't lose hope.

Well, duh this is a MURICAN thread.

Plus, even factoring in everything else, the odds of you dying in a terrorist attack is extremely slim. You are probably more likely to be killed by vacuum cleaner.

I'm also put off by the instinctual, nationalistic pride the 4th of July spreads about. I'm happy I wasn't born in some shithole in the Middle East and all, but it's just that. Less of a "I was born in America, fuck yeah!" and a lot more of "thank god I wasn't born in North Korea or Saudi Arabia."
