What's this treason thing? Its not treason if you win.

"Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason?
Why, if it prosper, none dare call it treason."

--Sir John Harrington, 1561-1612

Yeah thats basically what I just said.

Yes like I said, it would be odd if people in other nations are celebrating Independence Day, its not your holiday. Americans don't celebrate Canada Day...though it does apparently occur a bit before Independence Day.

Well, the British could celebrate for us being rid of a pesky colony that didn't know its place =P

Sounds fun, just one question, what is lamb vindaloo?

=O I am shocked and appalled. Its a very tasty but very hot curry. Not for the faint of heart. Of course, its nothing compared to some of the currys in the gurkha cookbook

I thinks safe to say that Britian would have prefered simply putting down the rebellion and going back to making a profit off American trade. Seriously it was very lucrative.

I know what lamb is I just have never heard of vindaloo.

Im sitting at work getting paid double time for being here. It should be a great day seeing as im making 37 dollars an hour for 12 hours today.

We'll be back! The colonies will be ours again, just you wait and see!

Fireworks soon... sooon!

It's in the nineties! We're going to have hard lemonade, beer, hot dogs and hamburgers and we get to watch a fireworks display! Yaaay!

Any excuse to drink and party with friends.

Happy 4th of July, no matter where you are from. I hope it's a great day!

Thought this was about the movie, ah well. Anyway have a nice holiday. I could make some British snide remark but I won't. Happy 4th of July.

Well, you darned colonials enjoy your independence whilst you can. One day the British Empire will return bigger and better than ever before, with blackjack, and hookers =P

And fish and chips GOD I LOVE FISH AND CHIPS!!! Come on INVADE ALREADY!

Not much to be proud of, really.

Oh joy, we became independent this day several hundred years ago. So did... most of the western world, at some point or another. Get over it, America. It's not like you've really done much good in the last few decades.

Really few decades im assuming to be lets say the last 30 yrs which would put us to 1981 correct? Well We outspent communism (the USSR) and made it fall and now a great many folks in eastern europe can vote freely and practice religion again. Western Europe no longer has to worry about the eastern block invading and killing millions. The iraqis and afghanis are free people (for how long no-one knows). I think thats a pretty good start.

Yay woot, USA! USA! USA!

Happy July 4th everyone! Yes I know the one day a year where Americans have a decent excuse to be blatantly patriotic so I am going to milk it for what its worth.

Anyway I read the news recently and couldnt help but notice that Canada Day is celebrated just a few days before Independence Day is...that is kind of interesting, didnt notice that before. Well done Canada.

Happy Rebellion day my American Brothers and Sisters!

I hear some of the border towns made a nice 4 day party of it, starting with Canada day and then leading to US Independence Day.

BTW, we turned 144 this year. We asked Queen Victoria if Her Majesty minded if we became independant and she said it was "kool with her" (I believe that's a direct quote). Far less noisy than the old "shot heard round the world" down south.

It's nice we can get together over this weekend and BBQ up some meat and make lots of pretty explosions

Yeah George III was a lot less reasonable about it than Good Ole Queen Vickie.
