<p>You're full of ****</p>
<p>What are you talking about? Last night I was making my ritual offering to Zeus and his eternal daughter Athena when Zeus came to me in a vision and told me to travel to Delphi to get a free reading. After getting to Delphi, the oracle told me specifically about you!</p>
<p>You're not very amusing, but nice try!</p>
<p>UM......IM NOT trying to be amuzing, but tats iz wat hapennedd</p>
<p>whatever, I'm outa this bull****</p>
<p>this is not bull im totally serious</p>
<p>Zip, quit smoking marijuana in such amounts.</p>
<p>marijuana is bad. poseidon says so.</p>
<p>In fact, I talked with Apollo yesterday in that new cool coffeeshop. He said marijuana is not bad in small amounts but can often lead to hallucinations in huge amounts.</p>
<p>So I skimmed through this thread and the whole time I just had</p>
<p>"i pledge allegiance to the underworld
one nation under dog
there of which i stand alone
there of which i stand alone
a face in the crowd
unsung, against the mold
without a doubt,
singled out
the only way i know "</p>
<p>running through my head.</p>
<p>i dont know if someone has pointed this out (thread too long to read), but the OP said:

I mean, we're the only country (other than military dictatorships) that force kids to pledge allegiance to their country and their flag.
[/quote]
</p>
<p>that is not true. period.</p>
<p>You're right, it is not true in the sense that we do not force our kids to say the pledge. Making someone say it is a violation of Freedom of expression.</p>
<p>posting your comments on this board is a violation of my right to comfort and freedom, freedom from people like you.</p>
<p>Im sorry OP but if your not willing to say a stupid paragraph every morning about the country that has given you everything, move to Ethopia for a year. Than come back and I bet you wont be able to STOP signing the Pledge. </p>
<p>Honestly the united states has given you everything. What offends you about it? Whats bad about it? I have not read most of this thread but if its about the undergod clause, heres a magical thaught. </p>
<p>Say "I pledge alliengence...one nation, under tod..." honestly. I dont care what you have to say at the god part if it offends you but, if your going to complain about a paragraph that is simply showing you are a member of this country, get the heak out.</p>
<p>Amen Mtf612 Thank God Somebody Has Taken My Side Again!</p>

<p>It doesn't matter at all why a person doesn't say it. The fact is, the ideals in which this country is based on, is that we have the freedom of what to say and what not to say. Any attempt to try and force someone to say the plege is going against our founding fathers and the people who have died in our wars to protect this country for its given rights.</p>
<p>smallz, you are violating my rights to post in a strife free environment.</p>
<p>Smallz</p>
<p>I know that. Re-Read my post.
1) I said if a part offends you dont say it or rephrase it. Be my guest. As long as the main part is similar to the fact that you are a member of this county and will stand by its side.</p>
<p>2) I said you dont HAVE to say the pledge but if you arent willing to, even though you should have the right not to, you should leave this country and go to one where the only tv you can watch as the words "North Korea is the best. All hail Kim Jong Il the greatest god." after every sentance. Im sorry but saying this paragraph is not a huge deal.</p>

<p>I stand by my country 100%, but me saying a little lyric each day isn't going to change that. And by suggesting that you should leave because you don't say this passage is unamerican!</p>
