Don't really give two shits mate.

When i was growing up we learned about it in school, and it was mocked and americans were considered "brainwashed."
As i've matured i've come to realize the necessity of teaching children to love the country they are born in, and the value of protecting the things they love and destroying anything and everything that seeks to bring harm to those things.

We don't even do it anymore for the record

this, but the pledge is kind of hollow/routine so none of those values are ever conveyed

Yes we do

The under god bit is weird but rest is good. Not much different than what we did in India when I was in elementary school there.

>We don't even do it anymore for the record
Your ass isn't a valid source

If you were super cool and wore a leather jacket you didn't even stand up during.

It was added in to piss off leftists and commies

It is good in a way, but it does not mean much if the reasoning for pledging allegiance is not explained.

So you're telling me other countries don't have their own pledges of allegiance? Or is this another one of Sup Forums's cruel gags.

Pledging allegiance would be seen as Nazi.

Europeans are afraid of being proud of their countries.

How else are you going to foster a sense of unity into a group of disparate peoples from all over the globe?

Unlike the old world, these aren't our "ancestral lands" and there's no inherent tie to it other than that which we create

Not a foreigner, but I think it's fucking dumb like the vast majority of Americans. I pledged my allegiance when I was born here.

dude yes we do

Looking back it's kind of odd to picture it from an existential sense, but it is a good thing for people to do and know about

what are you all in middle school

I graduate from HS in 30 more days.
srry for being so young

MODS

I turned 18 in March, 2 months ago.

>It was added in to piss off leftists and commies

Well also the idea that the government isn't our ultimate authority.
In a country of immigrants a little nationalism is the only thing that binds us together as a people.

We didn't do this here

I grew up in an affluent white/asian suburb of a major city

Senior in high school in a lower middle class suburb here. We still do the pledge and our patriotic southern teachers force us to.

I'm sorry

get out of here grandpa

Cuck

My school is nothing like that. People here are miserable and all the white/asian girls who aren't in AP fuck niggers.

My school made a video like that a month ago to that 21pilots song.

Damn son, the school spirit is real

If you'd do it the first school day once a year or something, okay.
But every single fucking day. Come on now.

post it

Fucking McCartney left over bullshit.

I stopped saluting, and standing in the 6th grade.
No one really cared
Got to high school, we had what was called home room. a giant waste of time. All students meet in a random classroom for 15 minutes, do the pledge, take main attendance, and go to their classes.

Had 3 different home rooms, never had the teacher, or any class in that same room any of the years.

Never stood up, didnt have a big deal.
A few weeks into it some other students joined me

Some shit on the news that they want to remove the word 'god' from the pledge, and make it how it was before.

Pledge was done by some fat ass paki fucker who was one of the most flamboyant faggets in school

During that whole ordeal he started to emphasis the word 'god' each time

fucking fat, lisping, paki accent having fagget saying the pledge for all 4 years.

it was unbearable.

One second. I'll try.

it's ok, their citizens fuck it up by being extremely patriotic or angry about it.

>Computer goes Updating your system (100%)

We don't. Most Dutch people think the pledge of allegiance is silly.

Our politicians pledge allegiance to the King though.

We don't either, it depends where you live. Nothing is simple.

Only some commies and shitskin politicians haven't done so.
Two from the socialist party, four from GreenLeft and one from the Animal Party.

Pretty much only left wing traitors.

Moral Orel was such an amazing show. Fuck even thinking about it now gets me a little misty eyed

Retarded

23 y.o. but my little brother is 13

the only change i've noticed is common core is here, and cursive isn't taught

can't tell you how many people i've seen sign their names "JOHN SMITH" just in all caps

damn. I'm looking up school spirit videos on youtube. I wish I wish I could have gone to a middle class white high school. really feels like I missed out on a great environment.

Fucking retarded. The obsession you have with your flag is weird, too.

You don't get it because you're a Muslim immigrant.

>only one nonwhite person as fsr as i can see
fucks sake yanks where are these white people? i never fucking see them

Meh, it's only a bit weird because of the obsession of MUH FLAG. If it was just about the nation it would be fine.


We sang O Canada and God Save the Queen in school every morning tBh

Maybe you should get the poop out of your eyes.

>hahahah le meme
Nope. I just don't believe in patriotism at all. And worshipping an inanimate object (i.e. your flag) is Christian-level idolatry and is retarded. Plus the flag is a mere symbol of who that particular piece of land belongs to at this very moment in time, its time will be transient and will be replaced by another soon enough. You nihilistic autists should appreciate this more than anyone.

ayyy

The link must have been sent to teachers only on a private youtube account. I can't find it.

part of the zionist's "repatriotisation programming" program.

I underwent it and it was a complete failure.


babylon is on fire

Good. Patriotism is stupid.

Im pretty sure all the Pakis living in england hold more loyalty to Pakistan than england.

Allahu Akbar

Title 13, Code of Federal Regulations

13 § 124.103 Who is socially disadvantaged?
(a) General. Socially disadvantaged individuals are those who have been subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias within American society because of their identities as members of groups and without regard to their individual qualities. The social disadvantage must stem from circumstances beyond their control.
(b) Members of designated groups.
(1) There is a rebuttable presumption that the following individuals are socially disadvantaged: Black Americans; Hispanic Americans; Native Americans (Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, or enrolled members of a Federally or State recognized Indian Tribe); Asian Pacific Americans (persons with origins from Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Japan, China (including Hong Kong), Taiwan, Laos, Cambodia (Kampuchea), Vietnam, Korea, The Philippines, U.S. Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (Republic of Palau), Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Samoa, Macao, Fiji, Tonga, Kiribati, Tuvalu, or Nauru); Subcontinent Asian Americans (persons with origins from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, the Maldives Islands or Nepal); and members of other groups designated from time to time by SBA according to procedures set forth at paragraph (d) of this section. Being born in a country does not, by itself, suffice to make the birth country an individual’s country of origin for purposes of being included within a designated group.

>Liberty and justice for all

You are a shame to Brittania

yeah and look how that mindset is working out for you

britania is a shame to itself desu

I couldn't give a toss.

>canuck

No worse than it is for you over there (i.e. a pandering retard with absolutely no political experience—even worse than Bush—has a serious chance of becoming the leader of your nation). I'd be scared if I were you.

I'm voting for him. He's a better choice than a literal criminal who somehow is leading the D nomination. The whole thing is disgusting. We've lost our way.

>obsession of MUH FLAG.
the flag is symbolic only. the words of the pledge even go, "I pledge allegiance to the flag... and to the republic, for which it stands". Using a physical object (the flag), as a placeholder to represent an incorporeal concept (the republic). It's like when Americans or Canadians put their hand on a bible (or the constitution) and swear to tell the truth when testifying in court. It aught to be enough to just swear to tell the truth, but many symbolic rituals use physical objects to represent incorporeal things like truth democracy.

>We sang O Canada and God Save the Queen in school every morning tBh
I think that's great. people of democratic nations should be proud of their country, national values, and institutions.

it dont matter who you "vote" for,. kikes will still have you on a noose.

stupid goyim.

No one actually exists like this though, this mentality is what drove me away from modern leftism and the Democratic Party. Identity politics is a disaster for all.

The Republican Party stands for the best lifestyle, superiority/highest standard for all, regardless of "identity," while the Democratic Party stands for segregation and mediocrity for all.

>the flag is symbolic only. the words of the pledge even go, "I pledge allegiance to the flag... and to the republic, for which it stands". Using a physical object (the flag), as a placeholder to represent an incorporeal concept (the republic)

I see. We treat the Queen similarly, as she is legally literally Canada in human form. So when immigrants have to pledge allegiance to the Queen, they are pledging allegiance to Canada because the Queen is Canada personified

Trump is a boss, he's a delegator. His cabinet will consist of the best and brightest people who are capable of carrying out his ideas. That's his real talent, finding and locating the best talent.

Plus, HRC is a war criminal. Washington would have executed her himself if she existed during his time.

Actually, Pakistanis in Britain are often a lot more patriotic about the UK than a lot of Brits are.

>t. Pooland
You might wanna take a look out your window friend. Throwing rocks in a glass house ya know.

I don't fucking care which country you are. You are NOT free if you're forced by law or social conventions to pledge allegiance to some bullshit entity.

Only way to find out for sure is if the queen declares war on Argentina and see if they're willing to fight for englands interests or revolt.

I think they'd go for the later.

:^)

Based Italibro.

Also, is the whole "Poles are neo-nazi football hooligans" a meme or real? An overwhelming amount of Poles on here seem to be Sup Forums.

It's just filler for our shitty educations.

>disgusting display of Dutch nationalism. downright fascist. /s

actually, that looks like a fun day. I'm glad that the Netherlands has a good amount of patriotism. I probably won't go on vacation there anytime soon, but if I ever do, I may try to go on some holiday like that one.

I wouldn't fight for this country unless it was being invaded and my family were at risk, and I'm white.

I think it gives a false sense of identity to Pacos, Mings and Ramesh.
I can't complain tho, we have something similar here in Mex.

I have no idea what youre on about mario

All my teachers were pretty liberal and I had to do it as well. Might be less common in the far west

It's the Kings birthday. Then lots of things going on. The King visits a random city, where lots of activities then get organized to show the history and things to do in that city.

But in the rest of the country you have festivals. The night before you have lots of nightlife. During the day you have silly yard sales and things to do everywhere. And everyone gets a day off which is why it's so crowded.

No one actually loves their country anymore.

Every men are pussified in unity though.

that's because you're a little pussy bitch who's never felt pride in something in his entire life. if the majority of young British men are like you it's no wonder the UK will soon be a European caliphate.

Have fun dying in the next meaningless conflict to rid your country of its useless chaff.

he feels pride in his family, he doesnt have to feel pride in the multiculti nanny state socialist shithole he lives in.

We had our early beginnings just trying to stay independent. Later we had the civil war and the world wars to give us reason to stick together, Recently we had the threat of communism. I think they're trying with the terrorism but obong is kind of shooting it in the foot.

Its real. A lot of Polish on Sup Forums and in real life are racist and nationalistic as fuck, my theory is that it's the result of being pushed around by other countries for centuries, or it's because the nationalists are the only people who haven't emigrated.

>On today's episode of something that totally happened

I really wish Pakis hadn't ruined the colour orange for me.

go fuck yourself dago

you scumbag mafiozo piece of pasta shit


Dear Allah I hope communsit riussia return and moscow sends the red army your way, I'd join in a heartbeat to kill me some shitalian maqfiozos

They think we're brainwashed lmfao.

Why do have beefs with the pledge of allegiance, user?

Do you hate your own country that much? Or is it the word "God" triggering you too much?

>willingly risking your life and everything you have in a meaningless proxy war fought for the interests of lobbyists
That's not being patriotic, that's just being a tool.

Try living in a state that's 90% white.

we didn't do it in my state

Being triggered by the word God is more an American thing.

>being this mad

Euros remind me of edgy teenager americans who hate anything religious.

...

>No one actually loves their country anymore.

That's the progressive Globalists winning.
They want the whole world to be one border-less expanse of people they can manipulate. That's why they attack any leader who brings up taking care of his own citizens as racist.
You're a racist, narrow minded redneck if you think your country should do what's in the best interest of it's own citizens.
Most of the world is already even more conquered than us by them. Just listen to some videos of the UK's Farage trying to fire back common sense at this horde of progressive indoctrinated screaming assholes who can't even have a logical fact based discussion about anything.

>An overwhelming amount of Poles on here seem to be Sup Forums

literally all of them seem to be one-dimensional edgelords who see everything as black and white. Every Polish user on here is the same person
