Wasn't the under god bit added in back when we were adding god to a lot of things to spite/fight those godless commies? Also wasn't it originally said along with the Bellamy salute instead of the hand over heart? Trying to recall as I'm sure we've had this discussion before. PS sorry for any typos because I'm writing this from my phone in the Arby's drive thru

And Pitino got the boot from Louisville

I'd have to agree, if America continues with the excuses of "freedom" for everything then we're doomed. I mean, we almost have wars on the street, it's just a matter of time. With kkk, etc making public apparences America is no different from Iraq really. That's some hyperbole You sounded like Bruce there for a second with the too much freedom bit. Hiding it won't make it go away as evidenced by all the racism is gone now that we have a black president talking heads from the past 8 years then all these hate groups popping their heads back out immediately after. Also, to my mind the fact that the worst of us can assemble in the streets and (can potentially) have a dialogue as shown by that video Hurlshot shared is a good thing, not to mention a constitutionally protected right.

The story from his own mouth, if anyone is interested

Well he alternated being President and Prime Minister for a time but was never not the guy in charge. Still that's only what, 18 years or so?

I can only speak for myself and at first I just didn't care about this at all and even when people couldn't ignore it and started getting upset I still didn't care. It's wasn't until the all the cries about how it was disrespectful to x/y/z groups that I started to care because I don't like people saying you have to fall in line with what they say to be patriotic and even more than that I just really don't like people getting offended on my behalf. I can get myself worked up over nothing all by myself, thank you very much. Plus, I can't deny that there is some measure of satisfaction in getting those people worked up even more than they already are. Edit - It's not like vets are united on this issue either

and then

Had a thimble full of Bruichladdich Port Charlotte because I needed some smokey peaty goodness in my life

I've never seen Germany and Wakanda in the same place at the same time Just saying

I might get it just to ask people if they want to play Atari again

I think I know where this is going

Hey, there are some very fine people among them unlike those sons of bitches NFL protesters

The only question I have now is where is DWade going to land? I'm thinking the Cavs since Thomas will miss the fist half of the season and Rose is competing with Wade (and winning) for the title of Mr Glass. Poor PG13

Didn't think so beyond the first episode

Aren't all future episodes on their streaming service?

I opted to watch DS9 instead Might give Discovery a try today or tomorrow or maybe wait until the whole season is released

Java homework is kicking my butt I used to be smart when I was younger, dunno what happened.

Sad thing is the guy I'm playing not only drafted Johnson but is starting him and I'm still losing!

It's looking a lot like a third straight loss for my fantasy team. All three games I was predicted to win by large margins.

Healthcare should be a right! If you disagree then why do you hate freedom? ;P

Your Giants had a statement too

Well, most of the people you are having disagreements with here are American, one is even a fellow Texan The thing is Trump is just not a popular person in the states and especially abroad so there is going to be a lot of criticism thrown his way. I've been here for three presidents now and it's always the same just usually coming from different folks.

There aren't many Hillary fans here and the ones I know of hardly ever post in here anymore. Most of the Trump supporters don't even post here anymore either. Honestly, a good chunk of the people in here aren't even from the US. These boards are pretty diverse and it's one of my favorite things about them, all the different perspectives
