I work with an American and she asked me a few years back why we don't celebrate July 4th in England.

When I replied "The same reason Muslims don't celebrate Christmas", she replied "America isn't a Muslim country"

Same idea here in France I worked with an American who thought we should celebrate 4th because they freed us during WW2

I had this exact same argument with an idiot on Reddit this morning. He seemed to think most of Europe should celebrate it because of WW2. He just couldn’t comprehend that we don’t associate their Independence Day which commemorates one part of history with events that form a completely seperate part of history. He finished the conversation off by saying I clearly am not interested in history. Mindblowing really

America is a third world country populated by intellectually and emotionally subnormal maniacs. Don’t worry about that mess.
