Let me be the first person to wish you a special Happy Independence Day! Let's salute your great nation on its Independence Day! I hope you all feel grateful for the freedom you have and are proud of the nation you were born to. Do hope you good people in America, have a happy day with Family and Friends, put the guns away. At least you have the good weather for a BBQ, not quite like that down here. Sorry fixit was first. He started the Happy July 4th thread.

Yeah....there's a debate on pretty much everything in America. Encouraged by Russian and Chinese trolls. I hope foreign interference will be exposed and dealt with so that the American States can once more be United. The world needs a functional USA.

I don't want to destroy the day for patriotic Americans, but maybe they would be more united if they had of remained part of the British Empire. I do think a Monarch gives people focus and something to honour and cherish. Has worked well for Australia.
However we cannot change the course of history, it is what it is, we just have to make the best of it work for a better future.

It reminds me that freedom ain't free, it came at a cost.

Do you get off your butt when the national anthem is being played on TV before a football game? Lots of armchair patriots out there.

WHY? Does quoting relevant scripture send the 2x2;s into sometimes a nasty response??

Annan can 2x2's have TV now? I was told that with technology of today,I was wrong thinking todays I.T.would be used by God in any way to show prophetic World events and updates on Christs return. So the TV.might be handy if you are left behind.

So .... guess what! LOL You'd think TV's would be better than a computer. The 'evil' on computers are far more accessible than on a TV. It's obviously not about 'evil' being accessed and more about convenience to the workers and rules they like to put on their followers. Are radio antennas still being broken off in parking lots these days?

There is hardly any such thing as a TV anymore. They are simply Smart Devices with a larger screen. TV's were previously defined as a passive device that accepted analog signals from defined channels and displayed them. Now the "offending" box is a Satellite or Cable receiving device that transmits a defined digital signal via and HDMI cable. Many Smart TV's come with Apps, such as Cable Sport, YouTube, Netflix etc and a Browser. Trying to outlaw such devices would be an exercise in futility, and also beg the question as to "why?", anyway. If a worker or elder tried to interfere in my private life by seeking to determine what I can or cannot have in my house, then a short shift would result.
Most cars here do not have visible radio antennas. A worker did try removing aerials about 30 years ago, and I let it be known that if that happened to my vehicle, the Police would be notified about an act of vandalism.
Fortunately, the insanity of decades ago is now in the rear view mirror.

I think the worker who did the antenna job got such widespread negative publicity that any other such vandals would think differently about such a trick. My cousin had her antenna cut off and she was pist. The guy who did it didn't fare so well after that ...

I told him the same thing and suggested if he did break the aerial he would need a long handled tooth brush.

They settled for religious freedom. But within a couple of generations they started to shoot out the Indian Nation people,they made wealth from slavery,they got involved in wars that were not their own(and lost) eg:Korea,Vietnam,afghanastan,etc. They bully and put sanctions on Countries where it is the people especially the poor that really suffer,isn't it? Now LGTBQI have control,in educating the kids to be what gender you feel you are? Abortion same sex marriage,destroying freedom of speech,especially if it has Christian overtones,etc, "SO" Only wish people the Spirit and cause of the original arrivals,please. Not the following generations. I am Australian and our history is just as horrible,murder,genocide,displacemrnt,etc to gain our wealth.
