Nothing wrong with patriotism. And you're from Croatia? Good news Tito. NATO will probably pull out its forces at the end of the year and you can get back to being good friends with Bosnia. If you don't want to see our forces over there again playing our national anthem then learn to get along with your neighbors. |
Ok, let's do this step by step.
1) I never supported Croatian engagement in Bosnia.
2) Croatia currently has pretty good relations with Bosnia, and the only reason NATO forces are there is not because of Bosnian foreign relations but because of its internal instability and the Serbian quasi-state inside the state.
3) NATO forces weren't in Croatia. It was UN forces.
4) I really don't mind having pledge of allegiance at school, as well as I don't mind playing national anthem at some occasions (although I'm admittedly not really fond of the tune). Infact I have never even stated anything against saying the pledge in the entire thread, although I do believe that "under god" shold be thrown out because:
a) It was not there in the first place, it got inserted in 1950's by fundies to make the country seem more opposed to communist atheism.
b) God and religion should be seperated from the state as much as possible.
5) The only reason I complained about your posts is not because I disagree with your opinion, I disagree with opinions of many people. It was because they are idiotic one-liners that are provoking and totally uninteresting.

We don't particularly need your opinion as to whether we should do so in America.

Have you ever heard of humor? You know, that thing that makes you a miserable failure every time you make an attempt at it? |

No, we had one but as far as I know it got scrapped.

Sometimes, it really depends. At small events, no. At larger events, they often end up scrapping it or another song which isn't our national anthem, but more people know the words to. The national anthem is some crappy old sea-shanty type tune, and since half of the country never really bothers to learn the words to the thing, it makes sense to just scrap it whenever possible.

Great, so stop posting here then.
When there's a thread on Europe, I don't see any Europeans attacking Americans for having an opinion on European politics

And the problem with discussing STDs would be what? Last time I checked AIDS was fast becoming a glabal epidemic - and as such it's worthy of discussion. As dor animal sex, believe it or not, there actually have been some serious arguments over whether it should be illegial or not and whether animals can give informed consent. :p
But yeah, I do think that discussing STDs and animal sex is perfectly okay. |
