    Yes this is the land of the free and freedom of speech and yadda yadda yadda.

    say the prayer in english FIRST and then repeat in spanish if they feel the need. And for fuck sakes, on the 4th of july raise THE AMERICAN FLAG! Although the lady that read the prayer has apologized....too little too late.
    what is so wrong about raising a mexican flag on july 4? many of the american citizens are of mexican descent. besides, we raise the american flag on cinco de mayo all the time.

    your wrong but that's O.K cause one of the great things about this country is that even the people that do not understand what it took to make this country free still have the right to voice their opinion.. but fortunately for the rest of us you can't give it away to anybody that thinks they can come over here illegally and try to change it
    or take it away, you have the right to be wrong as you wish.

    ummmm, so who is advocating what i put in red? and specifically what have you done to build this country? i was lucky enough to be born here. so were you. you did not fight in the revolutionary war, so you had nothing to do with building this country ok? all of that was done by people who lived and died looooooong before we got here...

    our country continues to be built today and believe it or not you and I have as much to do with it as anybody else, all that you believe and support and act on or vote on is one small tool that keeps rebuilding the American Machine,we may support / vote and work to build different parts of the machine to function in a way we see fit and different from each other but in the end our jobs as Americans will build one common machine..maybe not perfect in each others eyes but one thing we do have in common is that we both will enjoy the freedom we did our small part to help make happen.

    Well this is America. I'm guessing in Mexico they don't raise the US flag too often.

    Out of respect I think on the 4th of July only American flags should be waved around in the streets, but if someone else is flying a flag from another country that's there business- As long as they aren't rubbing it in my face or doing something on purpose to piss people off, like drive through the streets waving a Mexican flag (someone like that would be looking for trouble)....other then that I don't really care....

    Our country/our people, at times, has disrespected the American idea far worst then someone flying a flag from another country..... Let's not kid ourselves....

    AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!!!!

    so people of mexican descent can not raise a mexican flag in the us now? so much for this "freedom" and these "rights" that you speak of...i will have to remember that next time my mexican neighbor hangs his flag on his porch...guess i better call the cops then, right??

    Okay, I can see that today's lesson is going to require a visual aid and some required reading.

    Americas

    There are 36 countries in the Americas with the United States having the largest population (280 million) followed by Brazil (180 million) and then Mexico (100 million). Eighteen countries have Spanish as at least on their official languages. For more information on this region you can visit the website of the Organization of American States http://www.oas.org/ which was founded in 1948 and has representation from 35 of the 36 countries in the region. (Cuba is not a member).

    This geography lesson gets real old. Of course they are part of the continent. America is just a short way to say USA, but for some reasons, some people just can't grasp that....why is that?

    It's not a USA-centric thing, it's just an abbreviation. Usually it's very easy to tell when someone is referring to USA as America versus the continent.

    BY the way, no one answered me about where they were flying the Mexican flag.

    I mean, if it was just some people partying, who cares? Now, if it was at the State Capital....bigger deal. ;)

    I think it IS USA-centric and that's what gets old - especially when people are straight up saying Mexicans are NOT Americans.

    So weird...(off topic)...

    “Everyone's right and no one is sorry. that's the start and the end of the story…”

    Then gimmesometruth27 responded about the Emma Goldman quote: “neither heaven nor space”

    Both of those were driving me nuts of where I had heard them. So I googled of course and realized that I knew them both from the band Nada Surf. Sadly, I don’t know a lot about Emma Goldman, but got interested so I read up on her a bit too.

    But, did I miss something. Are these two quotes related somehow, or is it just a weird coincidence? Where is yours from Brando? ( I just can’t ask you a question as Godfather! Ha! ;) unless i'm asking for money or to whack someone :D )

    You really think people don't know that Mexico, Brazil...et all are in the Americas? It's just because the silly long name United States of America is annoying to say so people shorten it to America. I'll never understand why this is a big deal.
