[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish schools and kids did still.

But more more in vogue to hate on America than appreciate what it has accomplished over the 400+ years. [/quote]

How do you equate not wanting to recite the pledge to hating on America? Many of us love this country but find the Pledge to be creepy and nationalistic, the two are not mutually exclusive.

PC people, as in patriotic correctness, drive me crazy.[/quote]

So then don't recite it! It's not mandatory. Unbelievable. Because you don't want to do it,  [b]then the  rest of us has to stop [/b]so that your precious kids don't feel left out? Do you know how silly and spoiled you sound?[/quote]

First, no one has said that "the rest of us" have to stop.  You can say it if you want.  In fact, precious few on this thread have advocated that schools stop.

Moreover, unless you're a teacher, or possibly in the military (??), you don't say it at work.  I would venture to guess that the vast majority of people on this thread whining about the decline of American civilization or other such nonsense don't say the pledge regularly, and many haven't said it at all in the past year.

No one is stopping you from saying the Pledge every day, and if you don't, why is that?  [/quote]
