here at school in the u.s. the principal comes on the intercom and tells everyone to stand for the pledge and then he says it. recently, some people at my school realized we didn't have to stand. so, theres 2 people besides me in my class who do not stand. i'm glad we don't have to stand for the fucking pledge. are you asked to do something like this in other places? |

it's the fact that its a routine. if i stand i still feel nothing. i don't get meaning out of standing for the pledge, so what's the point. |

so you're in favour of mindless patriotism, thad? And mindless loyalty to 'your' president? America was built on the blood of slaves, don't forget that next time you're wailing your proud national anthem. I say Fuck National Pride and Fuck Nationalism.. next time you're proudly chanting "U.S.A!" think of all the people around the world damaged by 'your' country throughout its short history. Remove Pride and replace it with Humility |

i usually dont chant "u.s.a." i guess i was raised to respect the flag and what it stands for that you should stand when the pledge or the national anthem is sung/spoken, and that the flag should be on the speakers right side (i need some help, with my memory, what do the colors stand for?) red- white-honor blue-pride ? you may now be seated if you arnt already. |

so it was never your choice. people just told you that was expected. what kind of freedom is that? |

here we are -- red stands for the blood of the innocents, shed by US military might and governmental corruption white stands for the semen of the white rapists of negro slaves blue stands for the tears of a nation hoodwinked and brainwashed to believe anything it is told. As usual, there are minority groups who are fighting this oppression, and to them I give them my mental support (until I can join them physically to fight). |

it has nothing to do with rebellion. some people really don't agree with things and aren't just trying to make a scene. |

don't cheapen it by tainting it as "rebel without a cause" stuff thad. It is your democratic DUTY to rebel and protest against the current administration... America was based on some very nice principles -- ie Liberty for ALL... yet, there is no equality by any means; so it is your Constitutional Duty to become an activist. |
