THANK YOU!



Patriotism can be a tool used against you. Last time I checked, we all share this planet...why pledge to anything other then the human race as a whole?

Thats the shit that pisses me off. Out of anything that could annoy me in a forum, its a post that literally does nothing for the discussion. It's like me posting:

McCain!?!?!?!?!

and thats it.

I think he was shocked that someone was intelligent enough to realize that the pledge really serves us no purpose. And that was all he could muster..cuz ya know..they tell you the pledge is important.

I didn't mind it when i was in elementary school. Now I'm a bit disturbed by it. It has a cultish brain washing sort of tinge to it.

Xfactor, what does "the pledge?!!!!!!" mean?

i meant was that what he was talking about...im not rly sure if we should have a pledge either b/c if we pledge our alligance to one group as in the government they could force us to do somthing that we wouldnt agree to am i correct?

The pledge of allegiance isn't legally binding but its one more nail in the coffee of freedom of thought.

I have no idea what that sentence is supposed to mean. Silly little things like grammar and spelling help when debating.

I do find it odd that a free country wants children to pledge to them their allegiance daily. Soldiers, sure, but not little kids. You get the impression that they want all the kids to be so patriotic that they'll all join the military and be prejudiced against the Middle East.

Now you're catching on Butler. Soon it's going to be military or prison...take you're pick.
