What's your take on it?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinco_de_Mayo

From what I read, it seems to be about Mexico saying "I'm not gonna pay" & winning a war against the French (which isn't unusual).
So, are they just supporting a day of victory of being dead beats?

Whats funny is that 4500 poorly armed mexicans beat 6500 well armed frenchmen, how ghetto on the part of france.

Can you blame France for trying to get their money back?

From what I read, it seems to be about the United States saying "I'm not gonna pay" & winning a war against the British (which is unusual).

I don't think the American Revolution went...
America: "I dont want to pay for tea"
England: "Pay for the tea or die"
America: "Bring it"

I think it was more...
America: "I dont want to pay taxes on tea unless we're represented equally, also stop persecuting us"
England: "Bug off, we own you"
America: "Give me liberty or give me death"


...what I gather from this french-mexico war....
Mexico: "Hey francais, we need money for our wars w/USA & Spain, hook us up"
France: "K"
France, England, Spain: "Pay us back"
Mexico: "Lets make a deal"
England, SPain: "k amgios"
France: "Thats k, we'll just take our money back"
Mexico: "Crazy gringos....everyone knows France sucks at war, all your base are belong to us"
.............and Cinco de Mayo was born as a celebration over some battle.

Islam is a steaming pile of fucking dog shit. Everything about it is flawed, anybody who believes in it is a terrorist, if you disagree with me, then im sorry your wrong.

Why don't you stop being American and start acting like a decent human?

Mexican Independence Day is Sept 16 (or 17).  May 5th is not their ID.
Grif: Yeah, and the people in the red states are mad because the people in the blue states are mean to them and want them to pay money for roads and schools instead of cool things like NASCAR and shotguns.  Also, there's something about ketchup in there.
