FOUR SCORE AND SEVEN YEARS AGO, us awesome Americans broke away from the nasty British monarchy. We held our heads high, took our eagles and McDonalds and tea bags that we grew fond of, told those British gits like @Blues@Clarity@OliveDreams to kiss our Independence, and boated off into the night (day?)
So yeah, IN YOUR FACE BRITS. And happy Independence Day, everyone.
What's that? I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of my freedom.

<.< Why is it that the majority of this thread are not Americans? XD Happy Independence day, guys. I participated in a Fourth of July walk/run/bike thing this morning and we're going to go see the parade a little later, and finally fireworks in the evening. We should be able to see lots from our roof! ^-^
Instead, he said, Brother! I know your hunger. To this, the Wolf answered, Lo!
Oh wow, America is now 239 years old (four score and seven years ago is only 87 years, @Iggy ). That's crazy. O_O
My family doesn't have much planned for today. We'll probably spend the day relaxing at home, and then watch the fireworks this evening. Hopefully the fireworks show won't be delayed, like the last three years or so. XD
Happy Independence Day, everybody!
S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse a persona che mai tornasse al mondo, questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse. Ma per ciò che giammai di questo fondo non tornò vivo alcun, s'i' odo il vero, senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.
239 years ago, history was made. Today, we will celebrate that history.
Freedomisamazing!
Spoiler! :
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Happy 4th of July guys, make sure you're all safe around the fireworks. Wish I could lite some but sadly were having a bad thunderstorm, have fun for me.
