We don't have 52 states--we don't even have 50, if you factor in the "Commonwealths"...that's Virginia and Pennsylvania, and maybe New Jersey? We do, however, have more terrotories/provinces/etc.

This Fourth of July wasn't much better than my last one. Last time, I was in Iraq, and a bunch of us built a fire and cooked burgers and such, and lit off powder from .50-cal and M60 rounds. Those were our fireworks...well, those, and a couple 40mm flares from an M203... But with that, the guys made the whole thing...we had some good times, the guys in my platoon. Today, saw a little parade, played some games, went to a tiny little fair/carnival and saw my dad play (he plays bluegrass), watched some fireworks, went home.

As i was saying, it's cooler to have 52 states than eleven provinces. Nothing about size or population. Just sheer numbers.

Yes......just like tiny little ants :p

Same. Some dude brought fireworks for those of us who were working to see and set them off in the parking lot. Everyone was all "Quick to the window!!" I just really couldn't be bothered.

We set off a lot of fireworks, and I got it on my camera, but it's all videos. xD

Schools in England usually finish about 1 to 1 1/2 weeks into July, and go back at the end of August.

I celebrated at my fiancee's house with his family. I swear every freaking neighbor had fireworks. The whole neighborhood was booming.

We had about $50 worth of fireworks. It was fun.
