Wikipedia: Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, political speeches and ceremonies, in addition to various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States. Independence Day is the national day of the United States.

Honestly Stingray, I don't think anyone here needed that description, american or not. I'm not american, and I know what the 4th of July celebrates. I'm pretty sure the average Videosifter is rather knowledgeable.

But this type of videos is exactly what makes me think the vast majority of humans are just completely ignorant. (and I don't mean americans exclusively. I wish it was like that! only 300 million ignorants in the world wouldn't be too bad) This would have been very similar if you did it in another country about their most famous national holiday.

That guy should not be given a microphone he clearly can't use it properly.

The *british!!!!

Adding video to channels (British) - requested by Fusionaut.

The point was made after 5 minutes really.

He forget to mention why the Brits gave up this colony. We were drawn into a war with Wales where Queen Boadicea led the Welsh to victory. She ascended the throne desposing King Gandalf. Her daughter Elizabeth II reigns to this day.

Didn't Jay Leno do this one in one of his Jay walking skits?

While I know perfectly well what ID is for, if someone came up to me with a mic and started talking about freedom from the Nazis, Mexicans and/or slavery, I'd probably respond with a "yeah, sure" too. I'd be more concerned that he might be insane and dangerous at that point.

I think he'd have more telling results if stuck with the "Independence from...?" question.

Couldn't watch the whole thing. Yeah, they're ignorant. They also want to be left alone. That's kind of in the spirit of the holiday, ya know?

I was just being rhetorical and like to wiki everything in my daily life. >> ^EMPIRE:
