Don't let them hear you say that. :tinfoil: The dying pink forum uses every last breath in its dying body to counter claims of irrelevancy.

You're not including them, sure, but by acting like celebrating July 4th is the default, you're ostracizing those who don't celebrate July 4th by implying that they're not normal. Personally, I'm not going to start an argument with every American that does that, because it's not worth my time, but I can't blame people who do. Try to have a little empathy. Imagine you grew up in a predominantly non-American country (but not anti-American like Brazil), and have been systematically discriminated against for being American. When someone says "Happy Carnival" or whatever, does it not annoy you that they're assuming you're Brazilian, even though they know that some people are Americans? Is it not a week-long reminder that you're not normal, that you're weird, outcast, unwelcome in your own homeland? Because that's what it feels like for some Brazilians/English/Koreans/etc. around July 4th.

Maybe you should stop assuming things about strangers, and then they'll stop being offended when your assumptions are wrong. Then you won't be annoyed by them anymore and they won't be annoyed by you; win-loving-win.

Okay you a goon but what's a goon to a goblin?
Twain said he hated Austen but if you read what he wrote about Cooper it's clear that he didn't really hate Austen. He savaged Cooper in one of the funniest reviews I can remember reading, I highly recommend that link if you've never read it before. The excerpt isn't even the most ridiculous passage in it.

The Enteroctopus dofleini, also known as the giant Pacific octopus (GPO) or North Pacific giant octopus, is a large marine cephalopod belonging to the phylum Mollusca and is tripping balls.
Why can't everyone be nice and just talk about Mark Twain or the Indians he loathed? :(

You boys know who was a real jokester? Jesus.

That's right, but his punchline wasn't crude racism, it was "love thy neighbour and turn the other cheek."

a connecticut yankee in king arthurs court is the best time travel novel

This is true, but unfortunately it accidentally destroyed the time travel genre because now everyone rips off Connecticut Yankee without understanding any of the satire.
