Like, what's there to celebrate? We're forcing people to drink out of toilets, trying to instigate wars for no reason but to profit war companies, have a dangerous economy, crippling healthcare, what is there to celebrate about the United States of America? Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? All three have either been excised or made impossible. Freedom? Rights are stripped away piece by piece. Why are people even proud of calling themselves Americans?

No one is celebrating anything of merit. They just want to get drunk and play with fire. Even the biggest haha murrica! Type of dude doesnt give a fuck. He just wants a 6 pack and a lighter.

That's nice I suppose, for those people with the access and privilege to ignore all of the shit.

I'm starting to wonder if this shouldn't be a day where we encourage voluntary service. Like, national volunteer at the 'soup kitchen day.'

ive always felt politicians especially the president should be vehemently pushing volunteerism. i also think it should be tied to in tax relief/subsidies for citizens who volunteer.

The economy is doing fantastic, weve made strides with NK, nobody has actually seen anyone drink out of a toilet (all we got right now are accounts that should be investigated), theres so much to celebrate.

Celebrate the freedoms you take for granted every single day.

Because you still have the freedom to hate your own country and that's something to be proud of.

I dont celebrate holidays in general but IF I did celebrate this it would be because I consider myself lucky to be born here. Could have been born in some war torn hell hole. But through sheer luck I was born somewhere life is relatively easy when you really get down to it.

But yeah a lot of holidays are just an excuse to get drunk and i dont need an excuse if i wanna get drunk I get drunk

I'm not saying love it or leave it; but you're not being forced to stay. If the United States is so terrible and hopeless, and theres somewhere better to go, then you CAN leave. Nobody is stopping you.

We're not perfect. Things could be better. But theres 364 other days to bitch and moan about America (and people do), how about for one day think of positive things that our country has done/does/will do and be proud of those. Or at least be quiet for one day and leave people alone and recharge your battery for another year of bitching and moaning.

And if you cannot think of any good things, then why the fuck are you here to begin with?

Is this the new fad? Bitch and moan about what this country does do wrong, all the while pretending that negates all the good things that a lot of insufferable people take for granted so they do have a reason to yell at the clouds?

I just see it as a really evil country, but hey China and Russia are worse.

Its kind of like choosing to eat straight poop or having one with some chocolate sprinkles on top.

its funny that people bash the USA but at the same time this is the country that people literally travel a 1,000 miles to get to to just hope that they can gain entry. if the USA is such a bad place then why are people trying to come here?

The US can suck while still being better than other places.

Shouldn't be complacent that the US is better to live in than some 3rd world country.

Right? Least you still have freedom of speech in this country, and the general range for wealth is higher than most other countries.

Lol always truth in good humor.

Kinda makes me chuckle how people cry and bitch about shit like spending $700 per child per night to put them in a concentration camp, yet if they were really looking for something wrong with the USA that is actually really embarrassing that 3rd world countries do better, healthcare would be a very, very easy target.

But no, why cry about an actual problem that a 1st world country has when you can just make shit up and spout unrealistic numbers? Easy answer actually, its because if a problem actually exists you cant bitch about it and discuss ideas to improve it whereas a problem that doesnt exist never actually gets solved therefor its a useful unlimited source of bitching for those that are anti USA.
