lmao, I didn't even think about that xD

I love the 4th of July, prolly more than any other holiday, only because it never lets you down. There's always BBQ's, it's always sweltering hot, and there's always fireworks at the end.

Actually, the only tradition that my family has (when it comes to holidays) is watching Independence Day (Will Smith movie) every 4th of July. Sounds cheesy, but I love it. Unfortunately, my wife hates that movie, so I skipped it this year (the fam's in San Diego, I'm in Austin).

However, I did go to I Love Video and rented The Future Is Unwritten (Joe Strummer doc), so I'm pretty stoked to be watching that tomorrow, been meaning to check it out.

Yes! Every year we get to celebrate the time we really stuck it to the Brits, with the help of the French no less!

Strange times indeed.

But you can't help being inspired by our music ... just as we are by yours.

To quote Homer Simpson: "Our Beatles are better than your Rolling Stones!!"
Wait, err....

But yes, it's an interesting cultural exchange. I still can't believe how many UK peeps there are on this board!

I don't want to get involved in a cultural slagging off match, and have to try really hard not to make a comment about the French and military 'victories'!

Anyway I think it's cool you guys in the USA celebrate a big holiday like this as we don't in the UK. We have St. George's Day but generally mosy people don't make that big a deal of it, which is a shame.

To true haha.

Im glad we dont celebrate St. Georges. It becomes and excuse for petty nationalism and becomes a platform for hardline nationalists like the BNP to propagate their racist propaganda and other such nonsense.

He wasnt even from Britian and is the patron saint of many countries so dont see why this has to be revered with such importance especially by non religious types.
