Jul 4 2010Yay, Independence: Happy Fourth Of July!

4th-of-july.jpg

Readers,

I though I'd take a second out of my busy schedule laying in bed to wish you all a happy and safe fourth of July. So get out there and grill something or whatever the hell people do to celebrate. And before you goobers begin the America trolling, remember: some countries don't even have fireworks. Have a great fourth everybody and I'll be back tomorrow. Possibly from the hospital!

Be safe (you only get 10 fingers),

Reminds me of that one scene in Never Back Down when Doug saw that lion.
For your information, a.hole, I have seen a lion. And not one of your crap a$$ queen of the jungle homoerotic pussy-cat lions. A real lion, with fangs and horns and wings and shit. Don't pull your fucking weird a$$ african voodoo hypnosis crap on me when you don't even know wtf you're talking about.

AMERICA!

No grilling here, we've got thunderstorms all week :/

WTf man, there ARE no shadows..... clearly fake.

AMERIGO (vespucci) !

America sucks. I am American, I have been all over the world, and I can say with pride, this country sucks.

It's nice, it has some pros and cons, but when we cry that our health insurance is the best... it's like ranked #27. Then we complain and make fun of Canada but their health is like top 5.

I hate the ignorance too of all the people in this country. Good thing I'm moving... GO AMERICA! AND YAY TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH!

Yay pre-obama America!

Hooray to the forefathers!

Hooray for a rainy 4th!

Hey you know what sucks about being an American?


NOTHING

LOL

U S A

Blah, blah, blah. If you hate it here, go to Canada.

I don't like holidays because this post will sit here for 4 days before anything interesting is posted!

AMERICA!

Yay Obama's New America!!

HAPPY 4th of JULY TO EVERYONE!!!!
[Insert USA Flag Here]

USA! USA! USA!

Rube Goldberg's birthday is more interesting than the 4th. (Especially google's logo for today)

Strange thing, your independence day! We germans don't have anything like it.
Although there is the day of german unity. Its a holiday but nothing to compare.
Sooo...i was watching "Independence Day" with my frinds to celebrate your american holiday. It felt kinda weird. Roland Emmerich being german and all.

But i got reminded of something important today:
Alien motherships don't like nukes inside their girlie parts.

So horay american movie industry!

nice was watching portuguese firework yesterday at La Ronde whith my gf i'm Canadian but happy independance day .... o wait no .... no need of giant saucer exploding the white house welll happy day

Omg GW, what is up with this bad word stuff? I wrote such a nice comment and totally lost it, now I don't want to write it out again... Happy 4th everyone, enjoy and shut up.

who here actually celebrates it as "independence"? i just see it as a day to party and blow shit up with firecrackers...............WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....

In my county, fireworks have always been banned... too much fire danger. We've had to console ourselves with those crappy "party poppers", y'know, where you pul the string and they go, "pop."? Yeah, it's been lame. Well, geus what? The fuzz went around to all the stores yesterday, AND CONFISCATED EVEN THOSE. We aren't even allowed to make popping sounds here!

Suck Sucko.

'merica indeed.

@27 damn dude ... that is bad .... well i hope you'll still find something cool to do

Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at an age gap dating site[ S E E K C O U G AR (C 0 /M)_]---a nice and free place for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends

In Soviet Russia, Independence Day celebrates you.

Looks like #13 already had a fireworks accident and is so simple he just can't count without all his fingers. So sad.

FUCK YA AMERICA! Egg sucking frenchies piss off!

America - the best country in the world!! Suck it Europe!!

Happy 4th Everybody :} Be Safe!!!!
America is deff not the best country in the world...far from it.

God Bless the USA, Beer, and Gunpowder...

@13

Youre right that you have freedom of speech, but that doesnt mean you dont look like an idiot for your ignorant words.

GTFO number 13.

Thirty, how YOU doin'?

Thirty- seven, I wish to high five you.

Thank you, GW. Hope your 4th was awesome.

Rock on.

Who does not like the independence. I would take a second of my busy schedule, laying in bed wishing everyone Happy Fourth of July and safe. So get out and grill something or whatever the hell people celebrate.

ILU ERMERICER

When do I get my independance day here in Iraq? I will make my own 'fireworks' tonight!

@34
ROFL..... better than Europe
I suspected most Americans were fucking idiot flag waving, big mouthed, self obsessed fat bastards and you just proved me right!

Thanks dparks, you have done your country proud!

Alien Attack!?
"All right, you alien assholes! In the words of my generation: Up Yours!"

Oh, and as an expat, I hope everyone had a happy 4th and woke up this morning with all 10 fingers and toes.

@37

I look ignorant because I know there's better places than America. You sir, are the ignorant one. More than 70% of people [in America] never leave their hometown. Me, I've been all around the world, and yet I come back.

Our government is corrupt, our medical is garbage, my state is 47 in creating jobs. We [the American people and government] spend money we don't have. Therefor we create this $1.8 trillion dollar defficet.

Sadly though, all the really dumb and overly pride Americans only think their country is the best.

I have lived in Canada for a while and it was 400000x better. The people weren't ignorant, didn't play loud rap music at 2:00am, people stopped for you in the crosswalk. It was a different world, but... it wasn't America, so I guess it was the worse place on earth.

Get your heads out of the sand, look around and you'll see that America is not a great place. It's a policed country that makes us "free".

As soon as I get enough money, I'm moving far away from this shit hole. We Americans are so busy fighting other people's wars, worrying about other people, we forget about our own people. How about that nice BP oil spill that's destorying all the Gulf coast? Oh yeah... we're too fuc*ing worried about who will pay for it. Instead of smashing the hole or doing whatever the hell to do, we're letting it gush out and kill 1000s of animals.

That makes me proud to be an American.

The people of America make me sick because they believe there's no other country that is better, but everything from medical to grocerys are overpriced because of the huge corporations. YAY AMERICA!

ORLY, you are forgetting the reason everything is overpriced in the US is because the US offsets the rest of the world. Medical is cheaper elsewhere because the states spent the money on the R&D. Prescriptions are cheaper elsewhere because they make enough profit off the states to give it away in Africa. If you think the medical system in the states suck, wait till you move to Canada. It is great if you get sick, but if you get a major illness like I did, you are screwed. With cancer it would have been almost 2 years for me to get treatment, while having a life expectancy of 6 months without treatment. I ILLEGALLY went to the US to get treatment. It cost more, but it also saved my life. So yeah, you might like the rest of the world but it is only that way becuase the US props us up. Also cause you leave the ghetto in the states and go to a nice part of Canada doesnt mean you compare the same things. I have been through the entire US and found the friendly polite environment you seek in Canada. Maybe try not being a dick and people will be nice too.

@46 *with dreamy eyes* I love you.....
YOU are a true American.
And bless Canada, the country is a wonderful, northern neighbor.

I swerved into this site while searching boxcar graffiti. Great subjects. my jaw hurts from laughing. Half the comments are brilliant, halt are stupid. Since I just got here, I can't tell which is which yet. Happy 4OJ. Keep going.

God damn your stupid Orly.

Nobody is doing anything to stop the oil leak? Everybody is just pondering away about the cost of it all?

70% of people never leave their hometown? Do you just pull figures out of your ass like some morbid circus clown? The best figure I could come up with after actually researching for a minute or two is 40%

Perhaps it's best if you left America. I feel bad for whatever country takes you in.

@47, thanks but Canadian. I just truly admire the efforts that the states put out there. I actually try and educate myself so I know when people like him say they love things like the UN, but dont realize the US pays for over half of it. I love Canada, but I also appreciate the efforts the US does to bring the rest of the world up.

I just want to say sorry to america..... sorry the rest of the world hates us cause i was out banging all there women, chances are, if you live in another country and have kids.... there not yours. Also, when the zombies come, ameica will still survive cause we still get to have guns and things that go boom, the rest of the world...... gets a weed wacker you have to plug into a wall, and on that note, please please ameica stop being so damn fat, your making us look bad

BOOM BOOM happy 4th to my fellow brothers in arms

AMERICA NEEDS MORE COW BELL

AMERICA NEEDS MORE COW BELL

@50 have my babies ?

Simply put what makes America good also makes it bad. A utopia is impossible due to adversity. America has flaws and some things about this country suck, that is true. But we do have many freedoms that a lot of other countries don't have and because of that corrupt people have the ability to corrupt legislature and policy. That is part of the world, there a blalance to everything.

Happy 4th of July Canada!

@43 -- So apparently not only do you fail at recognizing a joke, you are terrible at math. Even if he were serious, 1 poster out of 40ish posts... not exactly the common definition of most. "That one guy over there standing by the 40 accountants is an astronaut. I always knew most people were astronauts!"

@49
I am not stupid. Let me quote something of your;

"God damn your stupid Orly."

It should be "you're" stupid or "you are". Learn correct grammer before you try to bad mouth me. Thanks. Also, no one is doing anything about the oil leak. Are they? It's been over 60 days and it's still not plugged up, is it?

Sure doesn't look like they are doing anything to me. They should of smashed the hole or do whatever was needed, THEN worry about everything. Instead they sit and talk, point fingers and doing more finger pointing, while the oil gushes into the waters.

Looks like they are busy doing EVERYTHING. We're so busy with the rest of the world, we forget about ourselves.

Where's my grant money to start a business? East Indians come into America, get money by MY government to start a business and they buy up the gas stations. Where's my money from the government to start a business? Oh yeah, I don't get it.

Where's my money for college? Oh yeah, I'm not black. It seems like the American people (black people too) are getting screwed by our own government. It's sad because the US is worried about helping others before helping their own.

so suck on that jerks!

How can you hate America? You'd have to hate millions of people that would take you into their country and give you free housing, food, clean clothes, medical care and a way to get to work, other than by shit covered donkey, or swollen river.

Can you give me one instance where life has been worse for an immigrant, after their arrival in the USA? ..other than when some fed up citizen capped their ass, for being an ingrate? Seriously, be thankful for all of the shit we do for you, or shut the hell up and go wallow in your mud puddle and play with your hoop and stick.

I'm going back to my Xbox 360. In a few minutes, I'm going to go out and sit in my Hummer and fart, and laugh, and then I'm going to the store to pick out a new pair of Nikes.

The reason that the USA is so awesome, is because our grandfathers and fathers kicked ever loving ass on this world, back in the 40's and 60's and now the 00's to ensure that we remained so fk'n awesome. We're awesome because we were the ones that stood up and TOOK it. If any of you out there think you can take it from us, then step up. ..until then, keep your sore infested lips shut, and get back to your job, painting rubber chickens. Hope you like that.

USA, bitches! (get used to it. she's not going away any time soon)

Happy 4th of July from a Canadian! Wishing you guys the best.

America is a very awesome country - obviously, we always tend to love the country we connect with (usually our home country, but certainly not always) - so I love Canada too, and more.

I gotta say tho - Americans (or ANYONE) who put other countries down just seem really ignorant, and perpetuate any negative stereotypes.

@60 - it really depends on which country you're emigrating from. I mean, things can certainly go downhill for anyone, anywhere - it really depends if you're moving from the slums of Pretoria, or from a high-class area from Geneva.

Ok so the REAL REASON I am posting:

GEEKOLOGIE WRITER - Shouldn't it be reversed? I personally think it would be funnier to see "laying in bed" crossed out and left "working hard" un-crossed.

Oh and @60

I hope there's more to the USA than blind consumerism.... which your post makes it seem so.

I think if you said, you're going out to see your friends, family happy & healthy, read a book, eat fresh groceries, go anywhere - a library, access the internet.... be able to speak freely, delve in the arts - get a higher education. Have a comfortable home... etc

I think those would be more powerful points to make. Such as how gifted your country is - for you to have healthy family and friends, to be able to read, to have food all the time, to get information anywhere - to have transportation...

a chance to be who you really want to be....

Considering that's NOT the reality for many people in the world.

Those things are what matter much more than getting a new pair of nikes. Because it's in the sort of things I listed that really speak to people about the greatness of USA - not stupid, trivial stuff.

Orly, it finally comes to lite. It isn't about anything but what you can get. Where is your "free" money? Not only that you to lazy to look for it. You mention the Indian (dots no feathers) get government grants. So do a lot of people, but you actually have to get off your ass for 5 minutes and fill out some forms. So instead of waiting for someone to give you something how about working for it, like the American way. No wonder you don't like the country you are the opposite of the American way. Wheres mine...

As for the oil leak, they are trying. The government has slowed down the progress, but it is getting there. The trouble is the blow out sensor that failed only partially failed. So yes 10,000 of thousands of gallons are spuing into the ocean. However if they cap it and it builds too much pressure and the cap and the remaining part of the blow fails you are dumping MILLIONS of gallons of oil a day. So despite your ignorance of the situation, there are people trying who aren't. What is my source, my brother in the coast guard helping over see the drilling of the relief wells who has been on-site since the second day.

But hey it isn't about who is doing what, it is all about who can give Orly what.

@60

They won't give me free anything. I'm white. If I was from another country or black, I would have America in the palm of my hands.

Day 77 for the BP oil spill... so if America's so great, why has it been 77 days?

This is one reason why I'm pissed at America.

because believe it or not it takes time to fix things some times. Regardless of how great the nation is, sometimes things can be fixed in one day. The trouble is this nation is so great you are used to instant results. What other deep wells ruptured and were plugged in 77 days? Oh wait that would be using logic and comparing something similar.

As Orly..Screw it I prefer to just sit on my ass and complain about how long something is taken that I can't even begin to comprehend.

@57
OK then, lets look again then shall we?

Math getting any better?

All these people banging on about America kicking the worlds asses. You're dumb.
You never won any wars off your own backs apart from the Civil war where you fought amounts yourselves.
You are a joke! You wait till the wars are started by others, come in guns blazing, shoot your allies and then proclaim you won!

I appreciate you celebrate you Independance, but don't be so naive as to think you are the greatest country just because you're allowed to tote guns and sleep with your sisters...

Ahhh America. The country that wants to control the world and will declare war on anyone and get involved in skirmishes with nothing to do with them, while their soldiers are off fighting, and their wives are sleeping with their neighbours and the rest of America stuffs their greedy faces.

@69

I love you.

@68-70 You need to practice. Your trolling efforts are too transparent. It is obvious that no one is that stupid that doesnt have to wear a helmet in public. next time try to make it closer to reality.

@68 Why dont you inform us of what country you are from. I bet whatever country it ends up being it has been touched in one way or another by America. In your case maybe your Country was on the recieving end of a beating which would explain all your "angry ranting".

@ORLY ٩(-̮̮̃-̃)۶ I am currently serving in the United States Military. In fact i am currently living in a different country. Now I am sure when you go on your 'lil' daddy paid for vacations (because your a world traveler!!) other places seem great. Well no shit sherlock when you vacation to third world countries all they show you is the best, you know why? Because you are paying for the best, and because its new and temporary. However its not all a never-ending weekend of fun and drunken parties when you actually live in different countries. But i am sure you will find this out sometime when your vacationing in some place Waaaaay better than the USA like Thailand. And the country goes into an emergency state (like they have been off and on quite recently) and in your drunken stupidity they decide you are cause for concern, or possibly could incite a riot. And.... lets just say they dont use bean bag bullets to take care of issues in all parts of the world. Well enough of that, be sure to let us know what amazing new country your daddy sends you to in the future.

@ all you spellcheck grammar nazi's: Have fun tearing my spelling/grammar apart. Ill eveen writee thys lahst sehntance wyth ahll kynds uf errrorrs for yoou kiids 2 freeek oouwt overr <===== NO PERIOD! =O

I'm from the UK actually, Grass Ninja. So we haven't had our asses kicked by you. Unless of course you count the shots fired AT us by you as ALLIES.
How bout you go back to base Mr US Military and go do some target practise. I'll even send you a picture of my face to use as a target so you know you're aiming at the right thing...

@73, Haha you might want to check your history. The independence that was celebrated on July 4th was from England, which is part of the UK. So unless you are Welsh, we whopped you too. They probably overlook that part in your history books.

How is that even a 'whooping'?! So you ran away from England, declared that you are now independent from us... And what? Do you want a medal?
Have one, it's for being the biggest egotistical and arrogant country on the Planet. Congratulations.
You're one step closer to becoming the International joke.
How can you be so blind? Your country has caused death and suffering to millions of people all overthe world. And you're proud of that...

I call it a whopping when a bunch of farmers beat the most powerful nation in the world (at that time). That would be like the folks from the Sally Struthers commercials beating the US.

We dont accept mediocrity and strive to be the best, that is why we are the best. I also hope you think your nation is the best in the world. If not you are in the wrong place. Everyone should have faith in their nation.

"My country has caused death and suffering to millions of people" Sure you are right to complain over the few hundred innocents that have been lost in recent years, but millions is absurd. (one is too many but unfortunately a by product of war) I was in Afghanistan and Iraq and know the actual numbers. Maybe you should go and see for your self. Your prince had a set big enough. Also, your nation has been side by side almost all the time recently so it isnt MY nation but OUR nations.

Also if the states are so horrible how do you think the world would be without our aid? I love the fact that places like the UN require the states to pay over half the bills and then say we are bad. I love how countries bash the states and the have a tsunami and go wait we need the billions of that you normally send us. We do what no one else can do and many times what everyone else is scared to do. So am I proud, hell yeah!
