I want to wish all of you a very Happy Fourth Of July, and I hope all of you have a wonderful holiday! Also, I won't be on the computer a lot for the rest of summer, because I work at my job, and when the weather is nice in the summer, I like to do things outside a lot when I have the chance. I'll talk to all of you again when the weather gets cold here in New Jersey again. I hope the rest of everybody's summer is wonderful!

I know it's rhetorical, but I think he's not aware that in the internet things like nationality, gender or race mean nothing.

You mean the whole world doesn't celebrate US's Independence Day? That's ... disturbing. Insulting.
I think it calls for war, you third world cads.
Anyway. There are plenty of holidays this week! If you don't like ours, take your pick.

Heh. If they mean nothing, why do folks get so riled up over them?
A few years ago on the 4th, I was working and got take-out for lunch. A girl I worked with at this job liked to have conversations about my lunch. (She paid more attention to my lunch than I did. At some point I had to explain to her, I don't usually pay a lot of attention to what I eat; not unless it's a special occasion or something. Lunch, I told her, is just what keeps me going during work.
("Oh," she said, and there was a long pause. "I love food," she told me finally: "I couldn't live without it.")
So, when I brought back Chinese take-out for lunch, she had a lot of questions about it. "Conrad, you got Chinese food on the fourth of July?"
"Sure," I said. "Why not?"
"I dunno... I guess I'm just surprised that they're open on the 4th."
"Well we're open on the 4th. Aren't we?"
"Yeah, I *guess*."
"Besides, they're Chinese."
"Well what does *that* matter?"
"Jodi! When do they celebrate the 4th of July in China?"
"--I dunno!"
I looked around and elaborately whispered: "They don't!"

mmmm.....
Perhaps at US Admunsen-Scott station they *both* celebrate the 4th of July and has winter ? ;)
I'm not Jewish. But if someone wishes me a Happy Hannukah, I don't take offense or preach about how everyone's not Jewish ...
Because someone wishing me a happy day, any day, for any reason, is a friendly and kind gesture ... whether or not I "observe" or "celebrate" that day for any particular reason of my own.

Who's taking offence? Who's preaching? No-one complained about being wished a Happy Fourth of July, but they did point out that many people will struggle to have a wonderful holiday, or enjoy the rest of summer, since for them it is neither.

Exactly. I even enjoyed the Independence Day flick and its double meaning. :)

You mean the one where the evil Europeans were turned into evil Aliens with Will Smith smashing their faces? I liked that one too ;)
