On this day, two and a half centuries ago, Britain, in its infinite wisdom, was generous enough to bestow freedom upon the good people of America

And what did we get in return for this generosity? Anne Coulter!!! Vanilla sky (hate that film) and that God awful root beer

Enjoy the festivities, even though technically, the Declaration of Independence was signed yesterday

yes but July 4th rolls off the tongue a fair sight more then "July 3rd"

It was also on this day that the Irish claimed yet another victory in annoying the Brits

Independence Day rolls off the tongue even better, but most Americans seem to prefer to call it by date rather than name, for some reason...

By helping America, revolutionary fever came back to France and ended up causing the French Revolution. Payback, I suppose

A long long time ago I played SEGA game named "Liberty or Death".
At the start, Boston with british was overwhelmed by rebels and only chance to not fail was to escape by sea to north or south and continue to fight.

America never invented that stuff. It was the glorious leader of North Korea that invented all that, and went back in time and secured American independence

I'll hold on to my kitchenware, thank you.

We've spawned a new race here. Rougher, simpler; more violent, more enterprising; less refined. We're a new nationality. We require a new nation.

Don't eat so much barbecued food that you get sick, and be careful with the grill - especially if it's a charcoal thing. Fire and booze is a bad combination.

Lets see, I was here for July 4th 2011 (I proposed the week before)
July 4th 2012 I hadn't moved over yet
July 4th 2013
July 4th 2014
July 4th 2015

So this is number 4 for me. I need to check the timeline, but if I recall correctly I can start applying for citizenship sooner because my wife is American.
