Pledge of Allegiance

When older people see someone dressed like a goth/emo they think they are taking drugs et c. Are your parenths irish?

Irish are the worst, when young irish girls flirted with boys they where taken to "washing homes", where they stayed their entire lives to was away the sin. The last one closed in 1986!

people even in the west are sometimes like the talibans so... If my daughter dressed like that I wouldnt want her to go out either

 

so many people being negative, it effects everyone and everything. No wonder why life is going the way it is.

 

The only way to really retain your individual values and remain immune to propagranda is to refuse to be a part of it. The founders of this country and the writers of the constitution did not make this mandatory. And as free citizens we should not allow it to be instilled in our children or the basis for compiling political power, by arguing whether or not god should be included in it. God isn't interested in politics, and our founders never ask us to indocrinate our children everyday of their educational lives. Tell your kids to remain in their seats.

National Anthems and pledges only do one thing, they promise those that wish to use us the power to do so, by mass consensus. I love my country but I do not follow anyone. Teach yor children to think for themselves!

 

whoa, dude, first of all what in hell has this got to do with this thread? second of all, id really like for you to stop judging my based on my choice of clothes. yes, i smoke weed, but thats not because i dress "goth" or "emo" or whatever youre stereotyping me as.
i dont mean to offend, i just REALLY FUCKIN HATE IT when people tell me im emo because i dress in black, or goth because i have spiky hair. or assume that im permanently stoned because im insane. or whatever. what does your daughter dress like? does she dress like 90% of american girls and act like a hooker? or do you pick out her clothes for her? let her have no freedom?
maybe im being a little mean here, if so im sorry, i just HATE being judged...

whoa people, some are getting off subject. Stay on topic please. What a person looks like has nothing to do with the pledge of allegiance. If you want to talk about wrongs and the wrongs people do to each other or looks, post a thread about that.

 

however, if you want to do begin to do something about all you see around us, go to www.impeachbush.tv ...you can start there.

 

It has a lot to do with the whole discussion. None of us are above question. How about the young men that went off to kill, why weren't they held accountable. They go to battle, they kill innocents, but no one is supposed to question. But women, yeah, control them....why, because you can, because you are physically stronger? In Ireland the Catholic church controlled morays for a long time, but I think we've learned that the morays of the church aren't necessarily ones we want our young people to follow. And I don't think the morays of the Bush administration are something we want our children to fight and die for.

 

patriotism is itself an act of treason against all of humanity and every other form of life on this planet.

my alligence is to the limitless diversity of an infinite universe with freedom from both stress and mundaneness for all.

i also believe there is something big, friendly and nontangable that loves us and wishes us well, but i see no evidence of it having given its mandate to any government of any nation, nor of any government of any nation abiding by any such mandate.

and we all know the bias that bit of whatever you want to call it was stuck in there for.

a bias that bennifits no one and harms all.

maybe you should look up the definition of patriotism. Patriotism is really looking out for others. And I don't find that to be treason. Whatever mankind has put to the definition is not what it is in it's simplest form.

And to the guy who thinks how we look has anything to do with the pledge of allegiance...well, maybe you should have read the original thread instead of someone's reply. How we look as a nation is one thing (our actions, etc), how we look as an individual has nothing to do with the pledge.

And for others about pledging, well a pledge is also an oath, and also a commitment. Shouldn't have to do it for a country, but we should be commited to each other.

 

scary. very scary.

thats it im moving to canada.
