I guess freedom can be good and bad. Sometimes I think the US has too much freedom. |
I'll bite - can you elaborate? |

Ok, guys, a collective WTF on a Belgian forum on this one, but someone replied that before the beginning of a movie in a movie theatre, the national anthem is played. Can you guys verify (if so, how widespread is this) or discard this, plz? |
In the US? Not quite. The most "patriotic" thing I've seen before a movie in a theater is a US Army commercial (man, I hate advertisements before movies, you pay $8.50 to watch commercials).
I'd also like to add, that as said before, saying the pledge of allegience is optional. Yes, you have to stand up, but no public school can force a kid to say it. I think it's done much more regularly in primary schools as a teaching aid then as any attempt to brainwash. As long as it's optional, I don't really care (to some extent) what others around a kid are saying, as long as he has the right not to. |

Umm, no - that's a strange rumor indeed. Evidently someone there is attempting to paint us into that all-too-strange ultra-nationalist corner. |

| Whatever. This country was funded with that in mind, therefore I think it should stay. It deferintiates with laws that affects everyone, to a phrase that reminds the history of the United States, and ancestors. |
