Happy Birthday America!

[peacetraveler22]

Today Americans begin a festive holiday weekend in honor of the Fourth of July. There was no traffic during the rush hour commute this morning, as most people are already on their way to the beach, or relatives' homes for the big celebrations on Monday. My family spends the holiday the same way every year - at our American style dacha in the forest. About this place, I've already written several times. You can see the big report here.

Huge gatherings and fireworks displays take place in all major U.S. cities, including here in Washington, DC. I never attend these massive public gatherings due to the crowds, and mainly the heat. I feel totally uncomfortable in such environments, and prefer the quiet solitude of nature or small crowds. I doubt recent terrorist attacks will have any detrimental impact, or cause people to avoid these celebrations. I can't understand those who live in constant fear, and avoid activities because they are worried about attacks, or some other tragedy. We must march on, and just be aware of our surroundings. This has always been my mentality.

All small towns light their own fireworks, locals enjoy festivals and colorful parades. American flags wave everywhere! :) This photo was taken during a parade in Fredricksburg, Virginia a few years ago. It's a big holiday for us, full of barbecues with hamburgers and hot dogs, corn on the cob, lots of tasty foods, cold beer and relaxation. I hope I can just sit as a vegetable for a few days - read, get some sleep, and rest my mind which has been too cluttered with heavy thoughts recently.

For everyone in the USA who celebrates - enjoy! And for those abroad, I hope you find a way to celebrate America's birthday somehow from afar. Cheers! :))

O my, I tried to avoid this but if you insist.. now I prove you that women aren't smart enough. I don't want to say that they're completely stupid but they're definitely a little bit stupider than men.

I just said - you should build a wall and it would be completely wise decision. I think it's obvious why the wall have to be built. But you don't understand it. You said - it is not obvious.

This wall would to be The Great Wall of America just like The Great Wall of China. And it would be visible from the Moon! What do you think Chinese are stupid? Why do you think they built theyr wall? No.. they're definitely smart, just like Trump. And they all want to build walls. And you don't understand why = you're not smart enough and you're a woman.

Walls are cooll. They not only visible from the Moon, you can walk on them or through them if you're like David Copperfield. See what I mean? Walls might be awesome but you see only immigrants when you think about walls. You have complete preconceived notions of Tramp and walls.

LOL! You're a real gem. And I recall now how you first approached your future wife on the Internet by telling her "listen woman, your legs are so beautiful that the only thing I want is kissing them from the bottom to up until I get to the end (you know where this end is)..." Apparently such pick-up lines are appealing to some females. :) It tells me a lot about how much you value a woman's mind, or even take the time to understand, or appreciate it. Long live good legs, vaginas, tits! :)) The most important aspects of any woman!

>The most important aspects of any woman!

no, they're the only important aspects of any woman.

What about the wall? I hope it is clear for you now why Trump is right and why it has to be done?

And what makes men so valuable to the world, or even a woman? Why do we need you? :)
