4th Of July
« on: July 04, 2010, 01:59:24 PM »
Members,
Today is a historic day, anniversary of our four fathers’ deeds of liberty, and furthermore a salute to democracy. Today is the 234th anniversary of the signing of the document assuring America’s founding. We here at Shattered Planes would like to acknowledge this day. While we understand that not every member is of America, we ask that you respect customs and celebrate America’s impact on the world.

Personally, I will be spending today with extended family and friends (and maybe a few strangers which I will become accustom to) in celebration. Fireworks, hot dogs, barbeque… American traditions. No matter how you spend today, we wish you a happy independence day.

With the state it's in, America's kinda not deserving of all that much praise. Anyone can have a powerful military if they throw enough money at it.
Seeing the world through a child's eyes is truly a unique experience. It helps you to retrieve that sense of awe, magic and wonder that you lost as you lost your innocence. Tell me, when was the last time that you thought of those childhood dreams? You know, the ones that you used to spend all your time wondering and fantasizing about? Have you forgotten them so easily? Have you forgotten what it felt like to see something for the first time, to see the magic in the mundane? Everyone says you should take the time to 'Stop and smell the roses'. But you should also take the time to look for the fairies, embrace the wind and enjoy the rain. Just once today, stop for a moment and look into that little piece of nature you pass everyday. Perhaps you may see something you did not notice before.

It's sad. It's really, really sad.

Remember the days when America backed its military, when we were actually proud of what we had, and people were willing to shut up and sacrifice for the military?

Yeah, neither do I. They were decades before my time.

It's sickening to see a nation that condemns its military like America does. Although it's not as bad as the Vietnam War, these days Americans just... don't care.

Have any of you ever been on a military base, and looked around at the men and women in the forces? Most of them are young, fresh out of high school. It's amazing.

Why did we have to wait for a terrorist attack to love our military, even if we forgot them less than a year later?

Not "Screw America," "Screw the Americans that ruined this country in the 60s."

That is all.

If the Military went up to my door, Handed me a gun and told me to be on the next flight out...i'd do it. People here don't appreciate what we have here. would you rather be in China where they only allow you to have 1 child, kill you for speaking out, and rule over you like tyrants? or perhaps you would like to live in ethiopia ...no food,water,medicine,houses,indoor pluming,or any modern luxuries we have here...really people who dont appreciate america sicken me and don't deserve its opportunities.

Mr. Shanghai, I believe you and me will be getting a long.
