The Pledge of Allegiance

Hey all! I enjoy intellectual conversation as well as humour, so I created this video! I never really thought about the pledge of allegiance much, but now that I am, my feelings are a bit mixed. What do you think about it? And/or do you like an occasional intellectual video? Thanks!

That's how I, as an American, show respect for neighboring countries. ;)

Though I'm Canadian, I attended college in FL for 2 years and during that time I learned the bits of the pledge of allegiance that I hadn't known before. There were some who didn't agree with saying the pledge, but they would just stand. Obviously the profs were ok with it, seeing as College is different from elementary and high school. My first year I didn't recite it, and my second year I did, just for the experience.

oh and it's true that in Canada we sing our anthem in school everyday :)

The pledge of allegiance is a form of brainwashing

[quirkfulquagmire]

I say the pledge everyday minus the "Under God" part. I am an Atheist and don't believe in God and I think it should be taken out of the pledge. America does NOT have an official religion and it shouldn't come across that way in our pledge. I agree with everything you said about the pledge and I'm not sure why we should say it. But if we must say it, I refuse to say "Under God"

[OfficialAdvertisment]

I say the national anthem proudly i really enouncuate the under God part cause i loveGod i really really love my creator

[EggPlantsBelieve]

I stopped doing the pledge in high school. Never got in trouble, I don't think anyone should get forced to do it. Although, if one wants to do it, I have nothing against it.

[kartyac]

I'd have to agree with what you said. Ever since middle school I came out as an atheist and would sub in "...under SCIENCE..." loudly, instead of "...under god..." Truthfully, I never got in trouble for doing this. I believe I must live in the 30% of the states that the teachers wouldn't punish you because I had friends that refused to stand and they never had any problems.

I think everyone who wants to get more into this topic should read Hero Type by Berry Lyga, its a really good book and it deals alot with this topic and quick fact, in america it is frowned upon to sho disrespect to our flag but not to other countries flags but in most other countries you can show disrespect to your own flag all you want, but if you disrespect the countries that are allies with your country, its bad... I personally think that makes more sense

[H8nLof]

When I was little, I did what I was told and said the pledge. Once I figured out what it all ment, I decided I didn't like it and I'd just move my lips during the pledge to avoid getting in trouble, yet I didn't say it.

[b4itstarted]

In middle school we read a book about the issue with whether or not it should be required to say the pledge. Now in high school, the person that does the morning announcements says it, but no one ever says it and only about half the kids actually stand up and put their hand over their heart.

[iLeaveYouWithHugs]

-I agree!... again! haha

-"I heard Canada sings their National Anthem... which is adorable." hahaha

*Hug*

@pixle555 Ummmm no.... It was written by a man during Columbus' anniversary fir finding america... Not during the cold war.

And I def think that the pledge is just a way of sorta telling our country, thank you for being the way you are. U ARE entitled to your own opinion but, why wouldn't you be thankful that our country" one nation, under God, indivisible, with freedom and justice"? And btw it IS all this things. SOOO, u might disagree but I'll stand by my countries flag and salute it whenev
