    Default Happy Cinco de Mayo

    Let us celebrate with our southern neighbors.

    We Britons would never celebrate with France... they're mean and snooty.

    I've got Lincolnshire south of me and I darn't say what the tykes say about that lot.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    You know something funny? Here in Mexico no one really celebrates the fifth of may, at least not the way you statsians do.

    There are plenty of official ceremonies, mentions of honor, and re-enactments, but at least here where I live, no one really celebrates it, I mean besides acknowledging the victory over the french and a speech of the president (and only in that battle, later we lost the war ).


    The national party that most resembles what I've seen people do in USA on fifth may would be the independence day (16 Sept).


    It seems that 5th of may is more celebrated on the US than in Mexico itself

    Anyways, interesting video btw

    Good stuff.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
