    Waaalllll, it's Independence Day around here. It has meaning. It has history. It is appreciation for the forefathers and foremothers. It is appreciation for our country, what it is, and what it could be. It is recognition of all these things and not merely the fourth day of a month.

    There are way too many people who are ignorant of what this day means. Ask Mark Dice, YouTube.com/MarkDice

    Just because people say 4th of July doesn't mean they don't respect it or know what it's about.

    Also, to tell you the truth, if people don't know what it means, it means our country is seriously failing in the schooling department...

    oh wait, that really is happening...

    i don't think calling it Independence Day, or July 4th, or the 4th, or the 4th of July specifically means anything honestly.

    round where i live, most everybody says it like that, "what you got planned for the 4th?" or some variation thereof.

    its all just local vernacular and doesn't mean a great deal.

    same as some of us call everything a "coke" even when you're getting something else "what kind of coke ya'll want?" "oh gimme a diet pepsi" etc etc.

    and some people just call it soda.

    and then the lizard people who give themselves away when they call it "pop".


    Oh no, I'm surrounded by lizard people!!

    Dammit, now I'm going to have to go watch the Movie. I mean it's everywhere on the TV right now lol.

    Independence Day is pretty much turned into the day we watch a movie about an Alien Invasion. Truth be told. more people would be interested in the history of it if it involved Aliens.

    Regardless of what you chose to call it, remember the men & women that have and that continue to fight, sacrifice and stand strong so that we may all be here having this inane argument!
    My son is in the USAF and HE IS MY HERO! Thank your heroes this holiday -- military, police,first responders, etc...

    Just so you'll know, I would not assume ANY of you don't understand what :the Fourth" is for. :) I'm concerned about our children knowing (so I prod that by calling it "Independence Day," I was just stunned at Mark Dice's interviews, and, well, that's what we call it. No problem!!

    I've never watch the movie, though. Just not into war movies. Think I should?

    Shooting up aliens on Independence Day, whats not to love? It's one of the movies I can watch over and over again and never be bored.
