So seeing how July 4th really doesn't hold any real historical value I opt that we change the date to July 5th, we call it "Glad we are not being controlled by England day". For short we'll call it "Cinco de Julyo".

All in favor say "oi"

This is to the person who made the second comment and anyone else who cares to do a little research before speaking. We as a nation celebrate July 4th. July 4th is not our actual independence day from the British. On July 2nd the continental congress legally voted to approve a Resolution of Independence. John Adams even wrote his wife and said "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." As for the signing of the Declaration of Independence, most delegates of the continental congress didn't even sign it till August 2nd 1776 and some reportedly didn't sign it for another 5 years.
If you want to celebrate the day the British finally stopped fighting, admitted that the colonies had won and signed the Treaty of Paris (which formally ended the war on all sides; England,France,Spain and the 13 colonies)that date was actually April 9th 1784!
If you don't believe me please look it up! If you do believe me please look it up!
Comment #8 johnMclaine what the hell is a "blad" eagle? lol. Interesting fact there, back then "bald was another way of saying "white". So instead of saying "white headed eagle" they called it the "bald eagle". And yes it is a beautiful bird.
Comment #18 Canada. When we were brave enough as a nation to enact prohibition, Canada was in the midst to do the same but saw the opportunity to capitalize on the situation and make wiskey to sell to the the likes of Al Capone illegally. Besides that we have a way of making you pronounce the letter "O" lol.
And finally comment #25 che geordievara.......... Ciamar a tha sibh?
