[QUOTE="HazyRigby, post: 687652, member: 3796"] Yes, Gunny, we all know how you feel. How about making some persuasive arguments instead of spouting endless rhetoric? I think we are missing the most important part of all this Pledge nonsense. If America is such a great, amazing country (and if that fact is self-evident), why do we NEED our children to say any sort of pledge? Patriotism should be something that is [i]earned[/i] by a country, not given as a result of some silly pledge. Only nations that can't create patriotism any other way need to use a pledge of this sort. Are we so insecure about our children growing up to hate the U.S. that we believe that this sort of thing is necessary? If that's true, then we have much bigger problems that we need to solve. Pledges are for nations where patriotism is insisted upon. America should be able to earn her patriots, I should think. [/QUOTE]
