Ok, so I just had to share this because its the most hilarious thing ever, it made my day, and it proves how oblivious to common sense some people are. Thee was this guy talking about how the U.S. government needs to change the date of Independence Day (July 4th) to July 3rd.

Guess what his claim was? He basically said...

We all get July 4th off, right? So why don't we move the holiday back a day to July 3rd? That way people can spend the night BBQ'ing and setting off fireworks without having to worry about getting up early the next day for work and school since we have the 4th off.

Some people just dont understand how holidays work. There has to be a HISTORICAL REASON behind it. august 12th isnt going to be a holiday because i want to take off work to go to the casino
But, some holidays are related to other holidays in that sense, so i see where the confusion comes from
4/21 is annual drug test day. A direct affiliation for another "holiday"

clifton123 : Yah, but this guy thinks that if you move a holiday to another day, for some reason you're still supposed to get the old day off. If you move a holiday to another day, you would get the new date off from work and school, you wouldn't get that new day off AND keep the old day off lol. The guy apparently doesn't know that the day off is part of the holiday.

Also, something tells me that you really want to go to the casino?

I don't really have anything to say to this. It's almost like some people on social media think the sun is not a star or think the titanic didn't happen. You just look at them and wonder if they ever went to school

I saw a clip on Facebook the other day. It was a guy walking around on the street asking people questions about the 4th of July, and the history behind it. It was staggering how many of them didn't know when, how, or why we even celebrate the holiday in the first place. It was very depressing to say the least. And these were born and raised Americans, people who should know full well why they have the freedoms they do today.

Mega Mewtwo X : No, the Titanic happened, it was the Moon landing that didn't. :p I had to lol.

Mynamescox44 : Forget people knowing about dates, there's a lot of things people wouldn't get if it's out of its basic context. I watched a video a few months ago this guy had one of the old presidents with him, and were going around asking people about him. People didn't know who he was, but if you show them a pic of the same guy doing something presidential related, they know who it is buy looking at his face. The point is people are just dumb when they have the info available lol. People just don't understand how things work.

I have an idea.
If you have the 4th off, why don't you just BBQ and set off fireworks on the 3rd without changing the holiday?

Should we change memorial day weekend so we have the Friday off too so we can go on vacation a day early rather than waiting until Friday night or Saturday morning?

Vanelan : Lol people do that already, and in unhealthy ways. It's a quarter to 1 AM here and there's fireworks going off right now from 3 different directions from where I live. I wouldn't be surprised if more "private" residents fire off fireworks the day before the 4th that actually on the 3rd so that makes what he said even more confusing.

I don't think anybody has to Change holiday weekends at all to get Friday off lol, I know from experience that there's plenty of people who still skip school and work on Fridays before 3 day weekends.

zanderlex : Of course they can take the day off, but that's not fair to people that don't have vacation time!
The government needs to intervene and force companies to close and lose a day's worth of business so this guy can get a day off.

Yeah...totally makes sense right? Screw the date of the signing of one of the most important documents ever written. This guy needs an extra day off.

Why do people need to be so stupid?

This is stupid. I mean, first off you can set off fireworks on the 3rd (I started hearing them on the 2ND), and second off you're just going to disregard that date that helped create the country you live in? Man, I should try to change the date of Christmas to everyday because I don't want to go to school.

Mynamescox44 : At least I know the history of July the 4th, unlike what seems to be the majority of the people here... I also watched a video in school that was about questioning college students on simple geography questions... I believe someone thought Africa was a state or part of the US. They also didn't know the tallest mountain in the world, which pretty much everyone in my classroom knew xc.

ZeroTails :  
Yea, I mean they were extremely basic questions like "What year was the Declaration of Independence signed?" or "Which Country Did We Gain Independence From?" and mass people were wayyy off. One guy he simply asked "Why do we celebrate the 4th of July," and the most detailed answer the guy could give was literally "Freedom."  Granted they were all about college age+ but there's still no excuse for it.

ZeroTails : Lol, when I saw you mention Christmas, I thought you would say for the presents. If you don't want school, just change every day to Saturday. :p

And as for geography, people are even dumber. There's people who think Canada and Mexico are in different continents from the US, there's people who think Antarctica is a myth lol. Take people to Greenland and Iceland and they're gonna have a fit lol.

ZeroTails :

Down here, people start setting them off just as soon as the tents open up, and that's usually two weeks prior.

A user of this : Actually, most people don't know that the reason we celebrate Independence Day on the 4th of July is actually because that was when The Declaration of Independence was read in public. It was actually signed on the 2nd.

This makes absolutely no sense to me.

The part about the "so we don't have to worry about getting up early the next day..." July 4th doesn't fall on a Monday all the time. Next year, it will fall on a Tuesday. In 2018, it will fall on a Wednesday. In 2019, it will fall on a Thursday...and so forth. What if July 4th falls on a Friday? It won't be until 2020, but now you can actually "spend the night BBQ'ing and setting off fireworks" and go to bed late since the next day is a Saturday.

For example, this year I heard fireworks going off starting on Saturday actually. This tells me that people spent the three day weekend celebrating July 4th, which wasn't actually until Monday. There's no problem with that. Normal people will most likely compose their schedule a couple days before, based on whatever day July 4th ( or ANY holiday for that matter ) falls on.

Long story short...SMH!

MattyIce : Uh yeah, that's his point. He wasn't even talking about this year, it wouldn't make sense to get a day off on Sunday, except for some maybe. If July 4th is on a Friday, then they would celebrate Thursday and get Friday off, and not everybody can just sleep late on a Saturday, everything has to be open on Saturday unless it's a holiday.

It's still very weird though, I mean I get we all want 2 days off but its still just strange and dumb.

Mynamescox44 : It is sickening. These people were born and raised here and yet,if they had to pass a standard citizenship test,most of them would fail. Independence Day is the most sacred day for us as Americans. That is the day we declared our independence from Britain. We,as a nation of cast offs defeated one of the most powerful nations of the time.

But back to the subject. This turd of a man wants to change the date of July 4th,just so he have an extra day off? Someone beat his head in with a crowbar please.

I don't understand why someone would want to change a date so important and dear to the usa. I don't think in all honesty that the date should be messed around. I wasn't sure to post here because. I'm not from the usa but still I wanted to give in my small input of how I felt towards that so I hope you don't mind. '-'

zanderlex :

sure people can celebrate the day before, you just won't get that day off work or school unless it does falls on a weekend. XD

some cities in my area don't really celebrate 4th of July evening with fireworks.. it's either the 2nd or 3rd of July.
