Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

I spent the half the day on a plane, half the day working, now I'm completely tired and will likely miss out on the celebrations, seeing as I have to get up and go work in the morning.
I hope those out there have a better one than me.

First point - The Declaration of Independence wasn't signed on the 4th, just adopted by the Continental Congress and released to the public. Signing happened near the first of August.
Second point - The Declaration of Independence basically states a few philosophical points of Locke (et alia) as diffused through the lens of Thomas Jefferson, the reasons why the colonists were disgruntled with British rule and declared the bonds between Britain and the 13 southern British colonies (never could get Canada on board) broken, null and void.
So, has the government been working to reestablish British rule and I've missed it?

1st point: I said the day we celebrate the signing, NOT the day it was signed.
2nd point: the declaration of independence does indeed represent the foundation of our freedom as a country. and our freedoms are getting whittled down more and more by our government every day.
swing and a miss... but thanks for trying

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
(Then follows a series of grievances)
Maybe you are thinking of that thing called the Constitution.

this is where things get fishy. our government seems to commit alot of the things our forefathers fought against.
I'll not continue this argument because it'll end up getting out of hand and getting me banned. but thanks Bahgoon for taking a joke(even if it was a bad one) and googleing it to death.
