Long live the Global Liberation Army!

In this world we stand for what we love, for what is right and for our rights. If you don't stand for either one of these you don't stand at all. You're crippled mentally. Your rights give you your life, that life gives you the right to stand for what is right for the world and one of those rights in the world is standing strong for those you love and what you love as a whole.

Despite ignoring every ignorant stereotypical remark about the US, I often can't help but ask myself the same thing too.


You know, it's not as if that was a super serious statement. I love my country, but I love many many countries almost as much.

I was referring to ignorant remarks in general, I was responding to TA's post anyways, sorry if that was a little confusing. When it comes to 'criticism', there's a fine line between expressing an opinion and being downright insulting.

Shut up. I now choose to believe that there's a shadowy mysterious Illuminati-like organization secretly controlling the events in the world, and I'm actually fucking right.

Well, to me it is definitely weird, almost creepy, the way you have children recite a pledge of allegiance every morning.

That's an observation and isn't meant to be insulting.

It's just our way of showing our allegiance to our country, I kinda like the Bellamy Salute myself but the Nazis screwed that up

At a signal from the Principal the pupils, in ordered ranks, hands to the side, face the Flag. Another signal is given; every pupil gives the flag the military salute -- right hand lifted, palm downward, to a line with the forehead and close to it. Standing thus, all repeat together, slowly, “I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands; one Nation indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.” At the words, “to my Flag,” the right hand is extended gracefully, palm upward, toward the Flag, and remains in this gesture till the end of the affirmation; whereupon all hands immediately drop to the side.

Haha ^^ of course not. Everyone is a bit strange.

I don't think that it's a bad thing to recite it every now and then, but every morning seems a bit excessive to me is all.

It's rarely quite so organized in my experience, but I actually sort of miss the pledge in college...

I saw y'all talking about a waifu list? Are you going through with that again?

My current school can't really make up its mind on when to recite the Pledge and when to play the anthem. When I was a freshman, it was anthem on Monday and special occasions and Pledge every other day, then sophomore year they never played it on the same days two weeks in a row, last year it didn't matter because the PA system was completely fucked, now its just the anthem daily.

That's odd. At every school I went to it was the national anthem then the pledge every single day... Even when the PA system was having problems we still recited the pledge from memory.

Six years and counting in this district and I can only recall seeing anyone reciting the Pledge one time.
