To all those americans(by that i mean United Statesian, but american is easier to say, canadians plz dont get offended) out in the comunity, happy early Independence day
What, so America includes the United States and Canada? Excuse me? Youâre trying not to offend Canadians? Youâre another sorry example of a person that has forgotten that there are more than two countries that constitute the Americas. So, just to be difficult, here are the omissions. I hope you havenât offended any folks from:
Mexico.
Guatemala.
Belize.
El Salvador.
Nicaragua.
Honduras.
Costa Rica.
Panama.
Colombia.
Venezuala.
Guyana.
Suriname.
French Guyana.
Brazil.
Uruguay.
Paraguay.
Argentina.
Bolivia.
Peru.
Ecuador.
Jamaica.
The Dominican Republic.
Cuba.
Puerto Rico.
A whole slew of tiny islands around Barbados.
Anyone who I may have, through my own ignorance or poor memory, omitted, yet still falls under the moniker of American.
Anyhow. I hope my point is clear. American refers to quite a few folks.
Lighten up anogarlr, youâll live longer!
I think the fire works look convincing, did you try the old tutorial?
BTW: Iâm from ES and I consider myself Salvadorean NOT american(until I become a citizen )!
You know what i meant, no need to be a pesimist i dont think ive seen any central or south american members( so there is no need to list 30 some odd countries.
And to go off on a rant about the use of the word Aerican is pretty ridiculous. It is commonly used to refer to citizens of the US all the time. Itâs pretty widespread and generally accepted, and it got his point across. Youâre complaining about something that isnât worth complaining about.

You know, your first post was not offending at all IMHO, and it was nothing to worry about, but this one is an entirely different matter. What do you mean by odd countries??
How is Mexico odd? How is Argentina odd? I trully hope itâs just my misunderstanding, and not your way of thinking, so please correct me if it is.
first, yea the fireworks are cool but could be better but I donât think I would be able to explain how to make them betterâŚso Iâll shut up about this now
second, it is true that american is use to describe the people living in the U.S. but it shouldnâtâŚitâs just been used by the people living their because they couldnât find any other word to describe themselvesâŚand Iâm not saying this to offend anyone, but also because they, in majority, think they are what make up AmericaâŚand I find this a bit insulting.
and your first comment wasnât offending at allâŚbut I think you walked a bit too far with the âOdd countryâ thingâŚand if we check the true reality of our worldâŚthe only odd country I see in america IS u.s.aâŚand still IâM not pointing this to the people living it itâŚbut maybe more the people âcontrollingâ itâŚ
I disagree here as well, every people sees his own culture as normal (well, mostly), and the rest is strange. Itâs normal, but calling an other country odd is, khm, strange, especialy when you are calling whole Latin and South-America odd, with all itâs beauty, mysticism, and history. Fonix, do you think Asia is odd? Or is Europe odd?
Rhysy, yeah, thatâs what I was at first thinking, but that wouldnât be 30-some-odd
Um, and no I havenât heard that expression, I just assumed that it could be something like that, thatâs why I said that it could be my misunderstanding and I still hope it is.
Some odd is an expression, as an un known exact number EX-There are 7000 someb odd users on elyiun.
i guess no one has heard of that expression so im tired of defending myself, so everone plz stop shreding it
And X, Thx and this was only a 10 min blend, i could tweak it and put a dozen more emittors and add other fxs but i just dont feel like putting all thats effort into a short blend for entertainment.
Nice render, I like the âfireworks flagâ (can it be animated?)
And also, America is a CONTINENT that goes from Canada to Chile (top to bottom). From what Iâve seen, United Statesians are the only ones who use the terms âAmericaâ and âAmericanâ to refer only to themselves. I think itâs unfair/wrong.
