[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why horrified? [/quote]

Because it is encouraging a young child to be rude, defiant, confused, entitled, self-conscious, me-centered and much more. Granted, it is a small thing, but parents who are of this mindset are on their way to raising obnoxious brats.[/quote]

They are raising kids less likely to be sheep.[/quote]

"Pumpkins, remember what Mummy told you: some of your friends and teachers, OK probably 90% of the people at your school, may say something about God, and may think you should be respectful and thankful that you live in this country. But my precious shouldn't have to go along with that because Mummy knows more about all of this than they do! So you show them, Snowflake. If you hear your friends chanting something to the flag, you refuse to say the word "God!"  Got that???!!!  I know you don't understand all of this, but you do this for Mummy, OK?"[/quote]

You're way over thinking this.

You don't have to pretend to believe in god to love your country or be respectful of someone else's beliefs. It is not our job to validate your beliefs or practices. Wanna pray? Honor God in a pledge? Go on with your bad self, but don't ask me to pretend and play along for your benefit. [/quote]
