  • I pledge allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America. Though my country is a little fucked up right now, I still love the bitch. The end.

  • @SHOOTINGlead Pledging to that flag is a slap in the face to the men and women who claim to protect it. Do you realize what that flat means!!?? I REFUSE TO PLEDGE TO A DYING EMPIRE THAT SUPPORTS Tyranny! I refuse to pledge to a long gone country of freedom and human liberties. I refuse to pledge to a world government run by the Antichrist,. I refuse to pledge allegience to the same country that gropes people at airports, tortures. Call me a terrorist.I only pledge allegiance to God.

  • 4409 please dont stop doing what you are all doing love the way you guys stand up for whats right keep it going

  • "Land of the free" yet you MUST say the pledge, if you don't you're a communist.

    Where is the "free" part again?

  • I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

  • Fuck the pledge

    -14 yr old black kid. It's MY time right to NOT stand. My allegiance is to Allah(GOD)

  • at my school you dont have to say or put your right and on your chest when they do it. :)

  • I respect her choice, however my decision to respect the flag (or rather the rev. war flag with 13 stars for the colonies) is due to the fact of remembrance of the war that was fought to seperate us from england in order to start the republic which our forefathers bled over.

  • I don't have a problem with her not wanting to pledge allegiance to the flag but WTF a peace flag! Yeah because this is a war flag. redonkeylous

  • she has to say the pledge, its a public school, owned, and run by the federal government, if she doesnt want to say it then by all means go to a private school or home school yourself

  • @lordtrollington1 fuck the pledge

  • @lordtrollington1 U.S. Court ruled that no person can be forced to say the pledge, ruled in the 80's when a Jehovas witness child was suspended from school for not saying the pledge due to religious reasons.

  • Douchebaggery! There is NO WAR FLAG! Please move to Canada

  • the peace flag looks gay as fuck

  • @UrHardyRardy I beleive in the second amendment dumb shit so don't judge by a youtube comment.

  • I hate this Yankee nation and everything they do, I hate the declaration of independence too, I hate this glorious union tis dripping with our blood And I hate the striped banner, And fit it all I could...

  • ahha i remember when i got in trouble for this. my teacher told me i was a terrorist. all i said was '' i pledge allegiance to no one'' although i was in 10th grade so i wasn't scared or anything.

  • i love that there isn't a single american flag within 40 miles of my house......or a mall :(

  • The author of the pledge of allegiance was Francis Bellamy a Christian socialist who was dedicated to redistribution of wealth. Let's not forget that the children used to give the Roman salute while pledging allegiance.

  • @attemptingtobehumble

    Good point and guess who else use to pledge to flags and allegiance to men? Germans! not all, but enough of them

  • That little girl has been brainwashed by her ignorant hippie parents. It's not a fucking war flag. It's the flag of our nation. The flag that has been around since BEFORE there was war here. It's the flag that thousands and thousands of people have died protecting. Her not pledging is her choice, but she needs to understand who and what all she is disrespecting and what that flag really means before she decides that she's not going to.

  • @awsumawstun People die in order to protect fabric? They must be super gay from all that BPA.

  • @awsumawstun a flag is a symbol; symbols change meaning over time - diverging from the intentions of those who first created it

    bringing up past generations is a completely invalid argument because let's be honest... WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU to assume those who died for the flag in the past still agree with the symbol of oppression and censorship it HAS BECOME today? don't put words into the mouths of those who are no longer alive to speak for themselves

  • @awsumawstun isnt it sad people should die for a fucking flag

  • @awsumawstun are you fucking retarded we have this flag because the north beat the south in the Civil War. and that was there "WAR" flag and how can you say she is brainwashed for wanting peace and love. ill be praying for you

  • The school had to call the Pentagon about something they could find on Google?

  • I blame her parents.

  • Send that girl to another country. Her not pledging is like a slap in the face to the men and women who defend that flag everyday

  • @SHOOTINGlead to hell with the flag -.-

  • They should just do what are forefathers would have done.

  • flying a flag upside down is a DISTRESS symbol.. not a political statement.. people SHOULD NOT DO IT as it may be mistaken as a political statement when a REAL EMERGENCY is taking place

  • @MrMeanderthal .....uhhhh there is an emergency

  • @RP4409 our "wonderful" country is turning to shit?

  • @RP4409 and that is?

  • @MrMeanderthal thank you.

  • I do not align with allegiance, so hence I decline

    A pledge is a wedge, not so divine

    Dynamics in mind will free the divide

    To love, to honor, to all of manKIND.

  • @bozolazic that was pretty damn cool dude

  • @rathalos111 I impressed myself with that one.My friend asked me a few years ago about taking God out of the pledge of allegiance and that was my reply.It came to me as if though it was in my head forever.I believe honor was something else, just slipped my mind.The spelling of manKIND was stolen from someone,not sure who.? Peace.

  • Fuck the Flag. and Fuck The US Government.  The US Government is NOT America. America is the people. I love America, I fucking hate the Government! The Flag represents the Government, not America. know the difference.

  • Peace flag??? News to me! @rp4409 now I know your an asshole!

  • I honestly have to say how dare she disrespect the grounds she is on.... If she doesnt want to salute to the men who died for our freedom thats fine.... But when the terrorists come knocking on her door dont come crying to the soldiers.

  • @MERYDOG13 .....paranoid much? We have 10, 000 nukes and 400,000,000 million guns in this country. If terrorists come here it was planned by someone on the inside. The military is nothing more than a for hire mercenary operation. People join the military for a job and trust me if they were not being paid they would be gone in a second. Truth hurts but its the truth....

  • @RP4409 Im not paranoid and what were going to blow up a nuke for one terrorist? Have fun with that!

  • @RP4409 Oh yeah and im also joining the air force so I know.

  • @MERYDOG13 who cares in my state students can no longer say the pledge to the flag because of the state being sued over the line "Under God" some people don't believe in god. To be honest I don't believe you have to Pledge to the flag to be loyal to your country. Your actions can determine if your loyal or not. Terrorists knocking on our doors? Are you high? There is no way terrorists would be able to invade the U.S. Al-Quida and the other terrorists are to small of a force for an invasion.

  • @soupa2 I don't literally mean knock on her door. And Al-Quida is everywhere you think that we know who is in the group?

  • @MERYDOG13 pffft your way to paranoid for your own good Al-Quida may be a covert groups but they aren't everywhere some could just be double agents working for the U.S.who knows but I know terrorists wouldn't attack the U.S. again not after 9/11. If they do they usually end up killing themselves (again 9/11) in the end. Other then promoting terrorism and setting off bombs that sometimes don't kill anyone, terrorists aren't much of a threat. U.S. is containing them so they are less of a threat

  • @soupa2 Ok

  • @RP4409 as soon as you speak the truth, we'll let you know. Stupid conspiracy theories have nothing to do with a little girl's right not to be forced to salute a flag. We have no such thing as a "Peace Flag," that's made up by conspiracy theorists, but she should still not be forced to salute the flag. Nor should she, or anyone, be forced to remain in a country which they cannot respect.

    Don't like the USA? Leave. Nobody's making you stay, and Mexico's running out of people pretty fast.

  • @RP4409 hey bro the fuck we are...military folks are honest hard working ppl and we love this country...i like a lot of your anti police state content and support ron paul myself but you can take your conspiricy theory and shove it up your ass...i agree with leaving iraq and the stan because we should not be used for nation building but to call us mercs...? to question our loyalty to this nation...ask a marine grunt what he makes...ask him what he was making during 03' invasion its not $ that

  • @RP4409 drives us

  • @MERYDOG13 The pledge of allegiance has lost it's true meaning and has become a mantra of false patriotism. Those who would have us feel un-American for sitting down are the very ones who are being un-american, by attempting to restrict our freedom of expression.

  • @Lisztman88 Could everyone just shut the FUCK up I am an american born in new york and enlisting into the air force to become a pilot. So dont talk shit to me about being un american.

  • @MERYDOG13 First of all; no terrorists are going to come knocking on any doors. 2nd the first amendment gives us the right of freedom of speech to include expression and the freedom of religion.

  • @MERYDOG13 Its a saying.... And in my opinion I do not think she should get the rights when she cant even salute to our flag. Its just wrong in my eyes cause im a true American.

  • @MERYDOG13 You're a true idiot. Hu are you to decide hu deserves the rights written under your consitution? Hu are you to determine what people should do, or say, or think? That's called tyranny. You probably don't even know the history of your own country, yet you want to sign up to the big brave air force so you drop fire on foreign children on te orders of the Obama-facist. That great war president, that hero of the american people, who sends soldiers to die from comfort of his holiday homes.

  • @jonnypinknuckles Im an idiot atleast I can spell who. And yes I know the history of my own country so shut the fuck up because your a little chicken shit that will never do anything to me. Im going into the air force hows that for an idiot? Fucking bitch.

  • @MERYDOG13 Swearing at me doesn't make you right. I shortened some words so that the text would fit youtubes restrictions, you on the other hand have no excuse for your lack of punctuation. I will accept the incorrect spelling of at least to be due to typo, because I think before I start typing. I will simply add that taking a quick look at your channel I discovered that you are a member of Club Penguin, which is a website for children. And you are, assuming you are telling the truth, 35...

  • @jonnypinknuckles Im not a member of club penguin I share an account with somebody.

  • @MERYDOG13 I believe you are lying about your age though as you have also written "to young" under the heading Companies (note the incorrect spelling of 'too') and "Why do you need to know my school...." implying that you are indeed a minor. I will, therefore, end our correspondence and permit you to fulfill your education before I expose your ignorance to the internet. I simply advise you to try reading a book on history and reverse the flouride assisted brain washing you have obviously endured

  • @MERYDOG13 33 years old. Furthermore I think the majority of the people here will find statements you have made such as; "I AM THE FREEDOM PENGUINS CLAN LEADER!", "I like cereal" in relation to About Me profile section, "i dont even know wtf occupation means" (ironic considering the US military's role as an occupying force of one variety or another for the past couple decades) "shrek movies ftw!" and "books ha!" to be evidence of your intellectual vacancy. And lack of judgment/self awareness.

  • @jonnypinknuckles Didn't I just say I share an account?

  • @MERYDOG13 BZZ Wrong again its - "And *you're* so much *better,* you *don't* even live in the *United States*.

    nor do you have *info available!* Explain to me; A - why living in the US is a prerequisite to understanding American politics B - what information do you want, regarding what?.

    I would like to know, who do you share an account with?, why is there only one name on the account? Why does the owner of the account claim to be 35 years old while at the same time providing information...

  • @jonnypinknuckles And your so much better you don;t even live in the united states nor do you have info. available!

  • @MERYDOG13 that suggests otherwise?, does this conflicting information represent the same person?, if not, how old is the other person and what is his/her relation to the owner/joint owner of the account?

  • @jonnypinknuckles He is 14 he no longer plays club penguin he just left that info there for awhile he is my little brother.

  • @MERYDOG13 Not very convincing. Why is your name and age presented on the first lines yet all other information is in relation to your 14 year old brother? Also a bit concerning that you would write obscenities on the same account used by your brother and are obviously happy that he can access age restricted material but thats your lookout. Either way (in closing) you are evidently an uneducated bufoon that we all should pity, I think, rather than hate.

  • @jonnypinknuckles Ok say whatever you want I dont care its fucking youtube you cant do shit.

  • @MERYDOG13 You have a better chance of winning the lottery than you do being killed by a terrorist.

  • @bozolazic Or of being killed by a bee-sting. ;) I declare eternal war on all Jihad Bees forever.

  • @MERYDOG13 FUCK YOU! this is the type of shit you POS state in order to silence people. You try to act like people defending peace are somehow against America or are disrespecting the ground they walk on. Just like using the race card to shut down anyone you don't like talking. Your comment just helped me coin the phrase, "Patriot Card". "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag & carrying the cross. - Sinclair Lewis"

  • @TheMuslimKiller I am not listening to a word your saying. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK! Happy? Good.

  • @MERYDOG13 LMAO, don't worry kid, those are the replies people give when they have no rebuttal, you can consider yourself owned.

  • @TheMuslimKiller I love you to and yes I do consider myself owned BECAUSE I AM A MUSLIM KILLER TO!

  • @MERYDOG13 Im Muslim. :D

  • this is stupid. there is no such thing as a war flag and a piece flag.. really random and weird for a child to be concerned about this.

  • @ConcreteAngelx3 ....there actually is a war flag and that is the one that is flying everyday.

  • @RP4409 then why does it fly during times of peace as well?

  • @ConcreteAngelx3 ....Since when have we had peace?

  • @RP4409 i have been alive since 1989 and i've always felt peaceful living in the USA... and there wasn't a war before we were attacked on 9/11

  • @ConcreteAngelx3 ...You may have felt peace but say that to: Panama -- US invaded and bombed 1989 LIBERIA -- Invaded 1989 IRAQ -- bombed 1990 KUWAIT -- Invaded and bombed 1991 IRAQ -- bombed 1991-92 SOMALIA -- Invaded, Naval bombings 1992 - 94 BOSNIA -- 1993 -? Jets, bombing HAITI -- Blocked the military government --1994 SUDAN -- Our military bombs a pharmaceutical plant 1998 AFGHANISTAN -- missiles 1998 IRAQ -- Bombing, Missiles 1989 YUGOSLAVIA -- Bombing, Missiles 1999 and on and on.
  • Comment removed

  • @ConcreteAngelx3 Very stupid, says the person who doesn't know how to spell PEACE. Check out this awesome website called GOOGLE, it knows everything about everything....and it says you are wrong.

  • Her mom is more uneducated than her :(

  • Killuminati. Fucking make me stand for the pledge. Typical NWO bullshit.

  • wow her parents obviously told her not to say the pledge. i thought this was america what is happening to this country. just say the pledge!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @TheMhorton40 I refuse to say the pledge because it is ruined by "under god," which is actually unconstitutional because of separation of church and state

  • WOW I'm going to tell everyone about this! It's so funny I thought we only had one flag as many others did. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 4409!

  • Its not really about the flag, its about her beliefs

    When she's older, I'm sure she'll be able to voice her opinion on the war much more fluidly and understanidbly

  • I commend her for not pledging allegiance - I won't pledge either - but this particular conspiracy theory (not knocking conspiracy theories - 9/11 was an inside job!) has been solidly debunked. There is no such thing as the civil flag with the bars running vertically. This is a hoax. We need to strive to be factual - people aready have a hard enough time taking us seriously.

  • what is with you delusional people saying "they're fighting for our lives and freedom" no.

    they're over there fighting because they're bribed with money

    so eat my fuckin asshole with a spork you stupid piece of walrus shit

  • you shouldn't be forced to pledge to the flag, but the whole "peace flag/war flag" thing is fucking retarded bullshit. who came up with that? The vertical striped flag is for the U.S. Customs Service!

  • WOW I have always disagreed with you but sort of respected you. Your complete lack of knowledge and this little girls mother lieing to her about the flag is absolute crap. The flag with virtical strips was designed for the US revenue cutter service actually. You are not some freedom fighter you are what is wrong with this country. you are shit. Get the fuck out of America since you hate it so much.

  • Whats creepy is that the TV Show Jericho used a similar style flag to the Civil Flag, though the field was the traditional blue field, white stars, and only had 21 stars.

  • i want to shoot that little bitch she is only saying that because she is a dumb liberal and she does not understand that the troops fighting in Iraq are fighting to protect innocent people. i love my flag and i love my country and you do not change our flag!

  • @kingroy97 ...You're the liberal spending on my money overseas for some NWO shit.

  • @kingroy97 tell me something, how does killing people to protect others from people killing them to show that killing is wrong make sense? 

  • @kingroy97 - you fucking idiot.

  • @kingroy97 - That so called 'kid' has an intelligent mind, and your comment just proved to everyone just how much more clever she is than you. Hahahaa

  • @Pikesterful

    Everyone on You Tube, please do not listen to this United Kingdom NAZI!!! He just wants to cause trouble and is dumber that a box of rocks. HE ALSO PUTS HIS THUMB UP HIS BUTT, NOT VERY SANITARY!!! PIKE I MISS YOUR SISTER!!!!

  • @kokknokr101 - Nazi ????,.. pfft. what a twat. what the fuck,..where did that come from, i like how you bring a random word into this and then ask everyone to take your side, i dont know what other folk are thinking right now, but i could have a good guess. you really arent that educated are you. you miss my sister lol,..your amusing.tell me, how on earth could i be a nazi and be in to sticking my thumb up my butt. i think youll find a few contradictions in wot your saying chap.

  • @Pikesterful

    Come on man, why you keep using words that I have posted already!!!!!

    I am childish; I am a Fucker; I am the Devil who has come to get your soul!!!!

    Keep them coming Austin Powers, I will make it fun to dog people!!!!!

  • @kokknokr101 - are you deliberately in denial,..hang on, didnt i ask you to explain why it is that all of a sudden im apparently a nazi???? and YOU STILL HAVENT EXPLAIN, and why, because.......................­..you carnt , you see even you dont even know what your on about. and i bet you never tell us why either, 

  • @kokknokr101 - i would really love to hear what your explanation is to how you come to the conclusion that i am now aall of a sudden a 'nazi'?? i really carnt wait to hear this??? please tell me, please

  • @kingroy97 = you just admitted that you want to shoot a little girl, but the truth is, its not because she is a liberal, its because your jealous at the fact that she had the intelligence and the courage to stand up for what she believes in and not to be pushed or forced into doing things that symbolise war. Your a pillock. A pedigree asswipe.

  • fuck you little 9 year old bitch our country is beutiful and out flag is beutiful if you change it then fuck you for not supporting the troops in iraq for fighting for your life. i love my flag and you go live with your stupid sideways flag liberal hippy bitch friends bitch. USA

  • @kingroy97 the troops in iraq is not fighting for the americans lives, u guys started the fucking war so stop bitching about it!

  • @farurk - very true, and im so glad someone like your self thought of hitting the nail on the head right ther,....kingroy consider yourself owned!!! twat

  • fuck you stupid liberal anti american ass hole stop trying to change our beloved country our flag is beutiful and our country is beutiful

  • There are two flags people. You haven't seen the peace flag because we've never ACTUALLY been at peace. When was the last time all of our troops weren't fighting SOMEWHERE? I got sent to the office four times for not saying the pledge but that's not gonna change my mind.

  • what tripe

  • Don't throw around the word slave. Go to Saudi Arabia if you want to know the true meaning. Oh, and if possible, don't be stupid in general, if you can manage...odd that the 'Peace' flag takes out the blue but keeps the red. Be realistic- if every country had a peace flag, no one would recognize them all. One country, one flag. Get over yourself.

  • little 4 yr old girl just listen to your parents and respect it... bitch

  • @savagekiller99 wow you are so manly calling a 4 year old girl a bitch, STFU and GTFO

  • @savagekiller99 u r a piece of shit!!!

  • pledging allegiance to a tyrant government that rules by the gun and threat of imprisonment if you dont hand over the products of your labors or obey their foolish laws...keep fighting for your right to say the pledge of allegiance, you stupid republican fools...keep calling people communists if they object to your tyrannical government...you all are the damn communists, not us

  • @longfootbuddy Last year in high school [ I was a junior then], I didn't pledge on the same day that I happened to wear a Russian Spetsnaz shirt, and this redneck kid called me a communist exactly like you said every single day after that happened.

  • Wow, I didn't really know about the peace flag to be honest. Probably because everywhere I turn, there's a broadcast of the next war we're sending our troops to. Hey, Mr. President, if you're reading this, can we have a day where all of our troops are back at home so we can pledge allegiance to a flag that doesn't stand for war? Or better yet, find a solution fast so we can fly that flag. I think it looks cool!

  • I am jumping all over watching alot of your videos, which are great. If you get this message, could you let me know what happened or if you made a follow-up video.

    Thanks and keep on.....

  • Fuck the flag. Bunch of fucking robots pledging allegiance to a fucking cloth. Fuck all flags. They're there to divide humanity, that's it! Robot motherfuckers slimeball bastards! That's what your life is worth? Pledging to a fucking flag? You are all mindless turds. Wake up and smell the shit your're swimming in. Divide & conquer, that's what your masters want. Keep bowing down to a worthless cloth you slaves!

  • fuck that bull shit pledge allegiance to the flag or get the fuck out same goes for mom

  • Listen to this little fag fucking reporter. Do you go to church in kansas. Da day dont even knows what a piece flag be.....

  • Its a whore flag for ya mom!!!! Future lesbo liberal cunt. Little jane fonda jr.

  • Fuck of MOM!!!

  • its stupid there's never going to be world peace get over it and if there is its sure not going to be anytime soon.

  • i think all of this is stupid lol damn hippies

  • What's a war flag?

  • Bow down! Yeah right

  • There is no such thing as a "war flag" and a "peace flag". There is only one US Flag!

  • @CatholicTraditional and there's obviously no such thing as a smart you and a dumb you, hint, you're the dumb one, there are two different flags, it just goes to show how easily you can be brainwashed.

  • @CatholicTraditional: Which is not the point at all. I commend the child, regardless of arguably in/correct logic, as a shining paradigm of individual thought in the face of those who would force upon her conformity.

  • I remember after 9-11 they had the entire country do the pledge of allegiance. i sat down during it because the whole thing reminded me of all of the nazi and communist propaganda videos I'd seen on the History Channel. (LOL, I loved that garbage channel back then.) And Everyone thought I was some prick. Well, out of all of those dildos in highschool, Im the only one who enlisted in the US Army infantry and fought in the Iraq War. So take your 'patriotism' and shove it up your ass, you frauds!

  • out of the mouth of babes..

  • I never Knew this, We need to raise the peace flag.

  • I say good for her! Rock on! and Fuck the man! Dont let them tell you what to do. You are awsome.

  • Oh come on, there is only 1 U.S. flag. The Buck Act has nothing to do with the U.S. having a war time and peace time flag. In 1942 Congress passed a joint resolution which spells out the exact rules for use and display of the flag. ONE FLAG that is.

    Oh, get this, there are no federal penalties for misuse of the U.S. flag. Each state has its’ own penalties for misuse, not the federal government.

  • upside down flag is a symbol of distress or call for help

  • .Back in the 80's when I was a freshman in High School, I didn't stand for or say the pledge mainly because of the god crap that was in there.As time went by I noticed we really are not as free as people are brain washed into believing ,and so on....this was never an issue though,and I was never confronted by any authority as to my right to do so,I was the only person I knew who had these same beliefs,or who didn't say "The Pledge"I was alone in a world of sheeple.Listening to PUNK great vids

  • I guess it's funny to me that people quote Constitution and my rights in this country and then use these rights to disrespect the flag and national anthem.

  • @WarInBed ...I find it funny that you worship a flag and bow to an anthem.

    Stop worshiping the STATE slave

  • @RP4409 I'm Canadian. We have a peaceful flag.

    You really don't see the irony in using the Constitution to bitch and then use it to invoke rights? It must be nice to pick and choose which parts you would like to abide to.

    Probably the difference between Canadians and Americans. We utilize common sense. The subsidised health care is a nice plus too !

  • @WarInBed ....the CON-stitution does not give you any thing or suddenly invoke a right when showed to someone. It only affirms and protects the unalienable rights that were given to you by God. When you were born you had free speech you didn't need a piece of paper to give you that.

  • @RP4409 You say you were born with these rights. Not true. People FOUGHT and gave their lives to give spoiled people like yourself the right to be an idiot. I assure you, if soldiers had known what kind of tomfoolery would have come out of them laying down their lives, I bet they would have reconsidered.

    RP4409, what you are is a spoiled brat looking to ruffle a system that more often then not protects you. Don't like the USA? Move, right out of North America. See what rights you have.

  • @RP4409 god doesn't exist....

  • @madjimms ....hmmmmm OK.....you have the right to believe whatever you would like.

  • @RP4409 You have the right to believe in any bullshit you want.

  • @madjimms ....why are you such a hostile douche bagger? LMFAO

  • @RP4409 *facepalm* I'm done.

  • @madjimms ....uhhhh....you were owned 2 comments ago...lol

  • @WarInBed "We utilize common sense"?Are you aware we do not have freedom of speech here in Canada anymore?But you probably believe we do!

  • @RealistinCanada You're right. You should move to Iran/Iraq, or another such type country, where you have all the freedoms you want. Go ahead, get on it.

  • @WarInBed No no,don't compare us to any other Country!I despise that argument!I'm talking about this Country and how we are not as "free" as we would like to believe!

  • @RealistinCanada Being told to shut up in class isn't the same as having no freedom of speech, I assure you. 

  • @WarInBed Or we could move to the UK, Australia, Japan and a number of other countries with a more accepting society, better civil service systems, and a higher grade or morals than our own. Fact is, Americans claim this greatness of America, then we compare ourselves to the lowest of the low in the world. But when we're compared with other developed nations we're generally out shined. Especially from a statistical standpoint, when looking at healthcare and education. America the not so great.

  • @raventakayama I'm not going to claim America the not so great, I just take issue with people who pick the strangest things to protest.

  • @WarInBed Strange is subject to individual perspective.

  • @raventakayama If one doesn't want to pledge to a flag, rather than causing a scene, and if she's able to know the difference, why not enlist her parents help if this really bothered her? Odds are, she was trying to make a point, but doesn't know how to address it. Who cares which flag it is? I mean, pledging your allegience should be out of pride, not out of fear. Her parents were called, why didn't they do more to explain their point? Oh yeah, easier to cause a scene.

  • @WarInBed That's easy... Its usually more beneficial to make a scene. Explaining ones views and personal opinion is typically overlooked by our society without some sort of reinforcing action. When people take things to the media for the public to see the response is usually immediate. What's the point of raising an issue if you didn't get anyone's attention?

  • @raventakayama Taking it to the media before jeapordizing one's schoolastic carrer would make more sense..and you'd figure a parent would want to do this before their child gets in trouble. In this situation, the child is responisble, but due to poor guidance from the parents.

  • @WarInBed The type of trouble this child is in is trivial. Its not like there was a dire consequence to what she did. She expressed herself and probably didn't fully understand what she was doing, but if her parents encouraged that type of thing then she did the right thing.

  • @WarInBed Great mentality, love it or leave it. You are about a jackass, you know that? The founding fathers stuck it out to change the bullshit, they didn't leave because Great Britian said they had to. They didn't just fold. So I should just love everything that is going on with my government and not voice an opinion or rebuttal? Dissent is the GREATEST form of patriotism. Sound familiar? Yeah, you guessed it. Thomas Jefferson proclaimed this. Move to Iran/Iraq? You are a child.

  • @cockyhemi My statement does not say never question authority. My statement says if you feel you have no rights in North America, either US or Canada, feel free to move. If one wishes to quesiton authority, as this 4th grader did, perhaps she would have been better served if her parents explained how to change things rather than be defiant, honestly, to prove she knew something the teacher may not have. That's called using your ego rather than your mind. Bad parenting, if you ask me.

  • @RP4409 Hi i don't mean to insult any1 with this responce. But my "opinion" is that we shouldn't be made to belive or disbelive anything and that we should all be allowed to think belive and say what we want, as long as you don't have an intention of hurting sombody. If the little girl feels for sny reason she does not want too pledge alligence then she should be entiteled too that, Regardless of the reason. I actually think forceing the pledge of alligence in schools in the morning is wrong...

  • and yet your suppose to bow to a god, sheesh sheep on one topic but warriors on another.

  • at my school half the kids dont even say the pledge
