If you cut out certain pieces (we did this in my English class and that's how we said it the whole year) it's sound like you're pledging your soul to dictatorship
-.- 1) Bender is better 2) just the parts that are in-between two comas like: blah blah, remove this bit, blah blah. 3) it's really interesting if you looked into it
You go Kevin. I hate war, the need for armies, and the sheer amount of money that gets chucked by lots of countries into military spending, but have nothing but respect for (at least, most) soldiers who have fought for their country or another's. It disgusts me to how terribly veterans are treated by the Australian government, and I'm afraid that I can't imagine veterans in most other countries being treated much better. Knowing about the tiny amounts of support offered to veterans, so much so that that those with PTSD find treatment in substance abuse just as often as proper psychiatric help, if not more so, sickens me and makes me despise the people in charge of my country.
Looks like some kid finally got around to hearing something other than 100% pro-America talk, and bought into it hook, line and sinker. He/She discovered that the U.S. Isn't perfect, and decided that the only other alternative is that it must be crap. You see this most often among those who don't read widely (reading a lot, but only from sources who agree with you doesn't mean "reads widely") and who haven't been to other countries.
I didn't know taking pride in your country and standing up for it is not common sense anymore. Your one of those people that hopped on the band wagon of bashing America and what that flag represents since it's the new trend. Go fuck yourself
Really?
