    Good - Nothing makes people question motives more that being forced to do something arbitrary.
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    Why do you oppose patriotism?
    I wonder about you sometimes, as you do not seem like a bad egg, but you have some horrible ideas in your head it seems to me..
    Any kid in school lives within this nation , even if they are illegal immigrant- thus should say the pledge or get the hell out.
    If a person has no loyalty to this nation --get the hell out..

    I would presume that you also oppose patriotism, you just don’t happen to to oppose your kind of patriotism.

    In any case, I think the individual is more important than a state mandated mantra, if you think the mantra is more important then that’s on you.

    a state mandated mantra,
    Those kids are in public school, which is a state mandated mantra my friend..
    Do you oppose public education-since it is also mandated by the state.
    To be consistent in ideology/philosophy, you must, eh???--Tyr

    I am not really sure what you are driving at, Slick.

    It says the Pledge with be conducted. It does not force anyone to participate from what I can read.

    When are you going to quit your crybaby and contrary comments?
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    I wouldn't expect some little pencil necked european brain washed liberal to understand patriotism or nationalism. This is what made America the greatest nation on the planet. Pride in our nation. Pride in our flag. Pride in our allegiance. If you have a problem with that, then you don't belong here.

    True conservatives, such as myself, don't believe any government should be forcing things like this. What happens when the morons in MN pass a law requiring kids to pledge loyalty to the Koran every morning?

    I think many outside the US don't understand and fully comprehend patriotism - because they don't have it, no reason to, different governments and never have the freedoms we do and how we got to those freedoms.

    And likewise that is why we have such a terrible track record when it comes to nation building. We try to impart our form of government on people who have no concept of our idea of national pride and no use for our freedoms. So it never works.
