Of course, here in the states it's taught as the colonists rising up against tyranny. What do they teach in UK schools? Are the colonists considered traitors? I'm curious to know how this bit of history is taught on the other side.
Weren't taught anything about it. In fact the 4th of July is just another day. I forgot about the whole 4th of July celebrations. It really doesn't come to mind. No one mentions it.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
