Pretty stupid IMO. Who the fuck cares really? OMG they didnt stand for the pledge that they stood for everyday for the last 7 years of their life. Get over it.

I would rather have people exercise their freedom and be douches than to follow blindly like sheep.

The Pledge is stupid and people should admit that

The pledge is fricken ridiculous...It's not about showing respect to people who have fought for this nation, which people are suggesting...

This was the biggest waste of my day in high school, it seems like some shit I would say if I was in a socialist country...

Now, I will stand and respect my nation's anthem at all times...That is different...

Learn how to write...Have you ever heard of a period or comma? How about not capitalizing every other word.

Secondly, while it can be unprofessional and disrespectful to not stand for foreign anthems, I fully respect the right of an American not to stand without having to worry about punishment from a government authority. You might be socially-looked down upon or punished by a private employer, but not from a government entity.

And as an aside, I can think of quite a few foreign government anthems that I wouldn't stand up for.
+1

I think Americans shouldn't be forced to pledge allegiance or stand...I believe the pledge is un-American, and un-important to be honest...It shouldn't be required in our schools and should be phased out...
