Yeah, man
forget patriotism

Its not patriotism. The pledge was created to sell magazines to schools. Only reason it became a widespread tradition was because of how scared stuffless everyone was about the godless commies.

Yeah, man
forget uhh... magazines?
i dunno

Also, fun fact of the day: It was written by a Christian socialist, Francis Bellamy. And the group that mostly defends the pledge? Conservative Republicans, who probably would rather be branded fascists than socialists.

Well anyone can do whatever they want, obviously I meant legally

Yeah, then no, teachers can't legally compel you to say the pledge or even stand up and "salute" the flag.

They can't do that tho?

Well, they can, but if they do you can talk with your principal or school board who I assure you will do everything in their power to stop you from suing the school.

Depends what state and town.

Nope, federal cases put this to bed years ago. Can't legally happen anywhere in the US.

is this a thing in america
holy stuff you guys are forgeted up.

do you have to greet everyone you see with the american anthem or you'll be detained?

No. There are no legal ramifications for not participating in the pledge or the anthem. One of the great things about America.

Except if your teacher forces you or punishes you for not doing it. They do that sometimes.

They can't. If they do, you have grounds to sue the school.

You're not forced to do anything. You can stay sitting if you want and just twiddle your thumbs.

ive figured out exactly what the problem is with open world fallout as a whole and it's that running from a fight you can't win is never an option

like ive never thought 'oh stuff im outgunned i should really go' ive always thought 'stuff i died i will reload and try using my more powerful weapons'

You can sprint in 4, that should resolve your issue.

then r/buildapc has literally no loving idea what they're talking about

That's the assumption I usually work off of on reddit.

Most guys i know with a 970 are on 1440p monitors. Playing moat games at max.
1080 should be a joke for any game

You aren't going to get ultra-high off of every game, but everything should be on the regular high with no issue. Also sometimes I run two 1600x900 monitors on the side of Witcher or GTA, which introduces some hitches, but no real hit to performance.

Not as a hard fast rule, no - that would be ridiculous, but some correlation, yes.  If giving votes to women was as important to the people who laid the foundation of the nation as gun ownership was, they'd have put it in there early on - though I'll admit that it would have more accurately reflected my sentiments to have only listed ones outside the initial bill of rights in that set.

I agree, that is ridiculous. For you to think that amazes me.

Simply put, I don't think there's much of a point to any restrictions beyond those pertaining to mental health.

If I could handle firearms responsibly when I was in high school, the average Joe who isn't in the dumbest part of their life can do so as well.
Putting restrictions beyond a mental health check simply adds a layer of difficulty to accessing a Constitutional right fundamental to all Americans (one so fundamentally important that it was written in before things like double jeopardy or cruel/unusual punishment or votes for women), one that will only affect the law abiding citizen because restrictions will almost always be circumvented by the determined and the unlawful.

Simultaneously, the punishment for gun related crimes, particularly violent ones, should be severe (for instance, forty strokes less one as a starting point), publicized, and strictly enforced.

I hope you don't honestly think that the order of the amendments correlates to their importance, lol.

I bet your history book came from tumblr because just about every country in the world is guilty of those things. Way to single out one country for something everyone else has done.

Well I mean, he wasn't singling the US out, he was making his point that America was horrible once, which is true.

I like how gun control is either "Everyone can have guns" or "No one can have guns at all."

Bulstuff.  There must be an intelligent way to do it.

Here's the answer that it took 8 pages to get to. It puts the "control" in "gun control". We need to control, as a society and through our government, who is allowed to have guns, where guns should be and how we should better train the general population to handle and act around guns.

The answer is not restrict guns outright or repeal all restrictions on guns, it never will be those two answers, and yet that's all we hear about in this 'debate'.

so basically get one 980 or SLI two 970's?

I was originally going to get a 970 but people over a r/buildapc told me not to because it would be "bad" with 1080p

Mine runs Witcher 3 at high settings (without nvidia hairworks of course) at 1080p just fine. :P

The 970 is not a bad card by any stretch of the imagination.
