From foreigners to Americans: Happy 4th of July!

I take this opportunity to extend my best wishes and express my deeply felt appreciation and admiration of your country and it's people.

Throughout it's history, and today still, a beacon of hope and of mankind's highest aspirations. A country that has done, and is still doing, so much in the service of Liberty. A country, and a people, that has elevated the history of our race to a higher plane.

Please accept the salutations of this Frenchman from up north.
You may not be perfect, but I shudder to think where our world would be if the United-States of America had never existed.

Have a safe and happy 4th of July.

And God bless you America.

Thank you very much Wildor that was beautiful! Hope y'all get to see some cool fireworks! May favorite place has been down in Missouri in this little town called Hannibal. Over a lake. It was awesome.

Thanks for the thanks. After the fourth I'll find a YouTube video of Pittsburgh's fireworks and post it. Pittsburgh always has such an awesome fireworks show.

Pittsburgh's fireworks are the best!!! There is no better way to spend your holiday than playing around in the Carnegie Science Museum, picnicking on the lawn along the river, strolling over to Point State Park for the festivities and some yummy food (best Halushki ever!) and ending your day by laying back on a blanket on the grass and watching the best fireworks show in the world going off directly over your head. LOVE THAT!

It's not the nations that hate us, it's the leader that hate our success. There are people that absolutely love America even though their leaders state that their entire nation hates the US.

And a nation can't hate, that would be silly. Only people can hate.

I say it's the exact opposite. If America was not so full of themselves, others would not hate America so.

Especially that first sentence. That exactly applies to America's jealousy over china's rapid modernization

To repeat the title of this thread:

FROM FOREIGNERS TO AMERICANS: HAPPY 4TH OF JULY.

Clearly, I mean for this to be a "Best Wishes" card to all Americans in this forum.

Please, if you do not wish to sign on,pass on.

FOXYBUNNY, if at any time you find this to be a political "flaming area", I ask you to close this thread.

I'm an American and yet, I didn't realize I was jealous over China's rapid modernization. I better get with it..........Damn those Chinese, how dare they become modern.

EDIT: Happy 4th everyone, and to everyone else that has any kind of independence day or national celebration this month happy whatever it may be to you.

I believe that tribute is in order. For getting to breathe American air that drifts across the border, for not singing our American national anthem every day, and most importantly, for not being forced to eat American lead, the rest of the world must pay us with 300 million kegs of beer. That is all.

I'm proud to be an American. And I am proud of the world. I'm proud to be human. I only hope that the 4th of July can lead to every single soul to feel some form of independence whether personal or as a nation in their heart. I love you all.

Most definitely, because our country just as many others could have been hell bent on taking everyone else over. Instead, we would like to see everyone in the world enjoy the same freedom and dreams we enjoy.

Happy Fourth of July.

I'm going to cry as San Diego's Fireworks have been slowly slipping in quality and quantity.

I got to love the French. Really good salads that I actually ate without complaining but I could have done without the mushroom pizza.

Still 22 minutes until I get to break out the fireworks. I wonder how many neighbors will take potshots at me THIS year? :D

Awww, That is so sweet of you to do this Wildor! Thank you very much ^.^

And to everyone else out there celebrating the fourth of July may I say this:
This fourth of July is special for me and I know I am going to have a wonderful time!! And I hope that all of you enjoy your fourth of July and have as special a night as I do! May you have fun and be safe doing it! And watch out for the crazy fourth of July hobbos that like to get really drunk and run through the streets naked trying to catch "the pretty colored snowflakes falling from the sky" on their tongues. They can be viscious when they don't catch any!! :D

I suppose its better if you guys are split up from us Brits espicially since we have Gordon Brown but remeber most of you have British ancestors. I don't know why you have such annoying whiny accents but you do. Oh and some of you are Native American. You're also very unoriginal, come on you could've thought of a better name for a capital. And you have George Bush and Sarah Palin but apart from that you guys are pretty cool.
Happy 4th of July!

Oh, so you think we shouldn't honor the father of our country by naming a swamp filled with *gasp* politicians after him?
