As an European this is really cool and unlike others self-loathing Americans here in the comments I understand the idea, humor and originality.
Happy 4th USA, you are great today due to the greatness of your forefathers and the men that built this nation.
- TheSpiceIsLife 6y agoNo women were involved?
- AmazingTurtle 6y agoYou're just trying to hop on the train, ain't you?
- d33 6y agoI actually believe that their question was a right one to ask.
- TheSpiceIsLife 6y agoNo. How hard would it be to write "men and women" (or "women and men"). What do you reckon? The fellas who "did all the work" in US history, you reckon they did all their own cooking and cleaning, you reckon their intimate partners, or close-others didn't contribute any to the people whom history attributes greatness? Probably not old boy, fair chance the wives, partners, and mistresses went a long way to getting us where we are. And that's if they weren't directly responsible but not attributed. How's that saying go, next to every great man is an even greater women. It's often true, except that the woman part could be generalised to partner or carer. Some people act alone, outliers though. And to still, in this socio-political climate, not to bother to include women is, at least, tone deaf, if not outright intentionally exclusive.
- quicklime 6y agoMaybe try to assume best intent, and assume that this person doesn't speak English as their first language?

- nautilus12 6y agoThank you! I for one am not self loathing and proud of my country and thinks it doesn't need to be destroyed as a prerequisite to getting better
