Do you think the "Pledge of Allegience" should be Changed?

[Mister Cheese]

Why the forget do you guys give a stuff

They're just words, if you don't like them, don't look at them or say them.

I will agree with this. I hate how we go around the world trying to force "democracy" onto other countries. When you are forcing its no freedom. Mean while at home we aren't a democracy, but a republic.

Democracies and republics are very similar. Democracies have the people choose what to do through town meetings and similar while republics have the people choose representatives who choose what to do. It's up to the people to choose the right representative to uphold their rights, which apparently we can't do anymore.

If you don't like the "under god" part, then just don't say it.

[Katadeus]

I think it should be changed, we shouldn't go back on what we stand up for as a country.

This is my point. We can't go around preaching a message of equality when we have completely obvious examples of Christianity all over our country's official symbols and messages. It makes us hypocrites. I understand that there's hypocrisy all over the place, but we shouldn't perpetuate it.

[dorkdotdan]

unless you're that kind of butthurt little wannabe athiest kid, you probably realize it's not a big deal fussing over, and nobody is forcing you to say it. just goes to show how christianophobic some people really are when they talk about censoring religion. let's also censor mcdonalds commercials because its "offensive" to vegans, and while we're at it let's censor rap music because its "offensive" to old people. oh gosh i'm laughing so hard over this right now lol

Rap and McDonalds are private industries, Government isn't. This rule only applies to the government.

So if we are the "police" of the world then how come we only bombed Libya, but we didn't do stuff for Syria? If they want a life of choice they should overthrow the government themselves, and if they need help they should ask us. During the American Revolution we sent people to France to ask for their help. In return they would agree if we could prove that the revolution would be successful.

I'm just trying to you all the logic flaws with the thinking of our elected representatives.

yes. answer the question with a question.

Second the pledge of whatever the forget it is starts, kick the door into the class room waving around a communist flag and start torching stuff as you sing the national anthem of the USSR.

[Funkadelic]

im atheist, but i really don't think it's a big deal.

[Qwepir]

is the pledge of allegiance said anywhere aside from school?
because it's pointless and unnecessary and why can't I just affix "until otherwise noted" to the end so I didn't have to do it every damn day.

I believe immigrants recite it once before they're an official American citizen.

Yes, my piano teacher had to, being Canadian.

This gives me motivation.
Last day senior year during the pledge I'm going to go "I pledge my allegiance to the flag of... WHO GIVES A DAMN!"

Seems disrespectful to all the other religious Christians ignore. I bet if it said "under Allah" people would want it changed in a hurry.

"Allah" is just the Arabic word for "God".
But yeah ignorant Christians would still freak out if it was "under Allah"

[Katadeus]

Agreed

[ultimamax]

Fun fact: "Allahu Akbar" means "God is great"
Fun fact: "Jihad" means struggle
