A Recited Truth MAG
May 20, 2008
I pledge allegiance
To the flag
Of the United States of America
And to the controversial culture for which it stands
One nation, under whatever deity you choose,
Indivisible since 1965,
With liberty and justice for all who can afford a decent lawyer.

Why the heck is everything on this website so emo! i no our country is a little off balance right now but seriously people! we just got a new president and hopefully he will fix things up. You need some faith pills! but I have to say, the poem was written well.

I dissagree entirely. There may be flaws in our country, but we're still the greatest country in the world. Look, everything isn't perfect, and if all that you want to see is the bad side of everything, you'll find plenty of bad things. In contrast to what Puja 123 said, this is not what our country stands for. We stand for equality, and although the system doesn't work perfectly, I don't think that our country is that terrible of a place. If you'd like, you can take a trip to Darfur and see if you like that better! Also, we just elected the first african-american president, so I'm proud of my country for that. If you want to keep writing about how bad a country we are, that's fine, but don't forget that we are a great country.

TRUE, TRUE!!!! sometimes the truth hurts, but sadly, nobody will listen. That's why, after I turn 18, I'm going to move to canada. (american laws say you are your preant's responsibility [property =(] until you turn 18)

It's creative but if you have a problem with it then don't say it, but making it sound like America sucks & isn't making anything better.

Just like every other school in america after we listen to annoncements we say the pledge. Everyone in my homeroom says it. Except me. I'm sorry. I can't say something that I don't believe is true. "One nation under god,indivisible with liberty and justice for all." There is no Justice for all in this country. If there were we wouldn't be saying that Obama is a terroist in disguise. We wouldn't be still racist down in the deep south and we wouldnt yell an gay people and deny them the right to marriage and happiness. Now you tell me you can honestly say you can say the pledge of alligence and beilieve every word is true.

This is really cool and true. I don't enjoy pledging to the flag when what we're pledging isn't true.
