Ya Know...

Sometimes I very glad I'm not so blinded my religion that I can make smart decisions; unlike my father.

He does really make me see how fucked up our government and people are every time I get into some type of debate though.

However I do support my father with some of his beliefs, such as the fact that some type of law should be made requiring you to say the pledge of allegiance and stand and put your hand over your heart.

You live in America, standing up, putting your hand over your heart and saying our pledge is a way of showing deep respect and pride for your country. It's not like it's hard, or painful or rocket science (at least I can't find it to be any of those things).

It really sickens me on every Monday and Friday that some of the students rush to finish their homework, sleep, or just sit there staring into space when we say the pledge on the announcements.

Now, it is clear that part of the fact is that they lack a considerable amount of maturity, but I think it's also because they really don't care and that's really sad.

If you live in this country you should take pride in that and respect it. If you don't, then get out. We don't need you. Why the hell are you even here anyways?
