Cinco de Mayo

We its May fifth, and mostly if you live in the USA, mostly the States the border Mexico, then maybe your gonna go get drunk or something else today, for Cinco de Mayo, or if you don't live in those areas its still an excuse to ditch work to go drink right?

Discuss

Obviously you're drunk right now.

Not plannin' on it. I might watch the Create Channel. I bet they'll have Mexican foods on today. <.<

I'm not going to pretend like i know what that is and try to fake my way out of good'ol American ignorance, so what kind of fake holiday is this that the Mexicans thought up as an excuse to get drunk?

Haha, No i'm kidding. I know what holiday this is and no i'm not doing anything for it.

never heard of it

Mexican food and alcohol, a wonderful combination...


Too bad I work tomorrow so no drinking for me tonight :(

cuz white ppl need a means to get into a mexicans house and steal back there shit, hence Cinco de Mayo, don't be hating on white ppl they needed to think of some way to get mexicans outside of there houses and all into 1

They already have, it's called Home Depot.

that only gets the unemployed, men 12-99yr old, out of the house and in 1 place

Ahahaha...they actaully chill at the one down the street >.>

The americans always celebrates "cinco de mayo" as our independence day, our independence day is in september 16, by the way this year we will celebrate 200 years of liberty you are invited to the big party, in fact this date is the commemoration of "la batalla de puebla" (battle of puebla) here, in 1862 this day "cinco de mayo", the general Ignacio Zaragoza commanded an inexperienced army and with the help of the people "indians" of the region, won the battle against the french, considered in that time the most powerful army in the world.
They only won a battle at the end they lose the war and the French empire was established in Mexico, with the emperor Maximiliano de Habsburgo. Some years after that a rebellion started commanded by Benito Juarez (friend of Abraham Lincoln) and wipe out the french out of Mexico.

At the end, we are proud of that people that against any possibilities, won a battle against a strong army.

Its a good cause to celebrate today for us the mexicans and every people that wants to celebrate with us!

VIVA MEXICO AMIGOS!!!

Its the French, everyone beats them....most powerful?? damn how the mighty have fallen

Well in that time the french army was the most powerful army in the world, with weapons, "technology", and most of all combat experience.

Still a funny thing to hear thou, and it really wasn't French Rule, they "technically" just took off the capital, thus the current President had to go on the run, while his generals continued fighting the French


anyways lets get drunk!

Yes you are right lets drink.... wait a minute am sick.... :( muaaa!!!!!!!! ;___;

On a serious way i wanna say something. Unfortunately, a lot of americans (not all americans) a lot of time ago started to hate us cause the Immigration issue, and yes you americans have all your right to complain about us, cause the inability of our stupid and corrupted government, to create jobs, security and other things forces a lot of mexicans go to the US to find "the american dream" a good way of life that our country sadly cant give us.
I must say we have a lot of problems here, corruption, drugs, insecurity and many other things that we should attend to prevent the immigration to your country, but as long as the corrupted governments remains here that wont be solved soon.
Our polititians only watch for themselves and not for the entire country, and in part is our own fault for not ask for results to our polititians.

Finally, about the Arizona law recently aproved a lot of people here and around the world complain about it, personally as mexican i support that law,why? cause at the end of the day its your country as simple as that and you can do anything you want to preserve the security there.
A journalist here wrote: "we'll do the same thing here in this case, cause for example, one day you walk into your house and you find a guy sit in your sofa, and says to you: " i will stay here cause i want", what did you do? simple you call the police, cause this guy is illegally in my house".

We have to create a good country in order to prevent that our people left our country.

No intention to offend anybody, sorry if i offend you, this is just an statement that i want to say, at the end i think we all are friends and in some circumstances we are brothers.

Now lets drink, and remember this september 16 all of you are invited to the big party of our 200 years of independence.

My thoughts exactly

Indeed so, Unfortunately I'd have to pass another border to get to mexico's border because I live in Canada, But getting buzzed and eating mexican food = A goodtime in my books.
