Respect Independence Day!

By unpatriotic - This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff - United States - Eugene

Today, my manager made me remove an Eiffel Tower ornament from one of my displays. Not because it didn't look good or match the theme, but because it was "disrespectful" to have it out on the 4th of July. FML

funnily enough, our most famous landmark - statue of liberty - is actually French...

Erm what? 0_o How is it disrespectful? It was years ago!(Anyway I thought the French assisted with the revolution?) But seriously, I do not see how it is disrespectful to acknowledge the other countries exist outside America. If you would have put a Big Ben up there sure it would have looked a little strange....but disrespectful? I don't think your manager knows what that word means....

The funny part is that France got ruined by that war... Partily because the US chose to have England as a trade partner instead of France and didn't repay the debts due for the weapons and troops. It propelled France into crisis which led to our revolution! I guess the argument is settled by the help from the world wars anyway. But every time I hear an american say that England is their only réal allie, i can't help but laugh!!
