Is it time to retire the Pledge of Allegiance?

I don't believe the guys that wrote and signed the Declaration of Independence really cared about the few whiners that would take offence at the word "God" inserted in the document.

So the trolling begins.

You're apparently too stupid to know the difference.

And you are too much of a douchebag to care so I guess we are even. Now, instead of talking about me, get back to the topic, otherwise, I suggest you get on your knees and start sucking. It seems to be something you are good at.

This is the last post I will ever address to you, you dumb bastard.

Edgar, the only reason McG posts on A2K is to stir up sh*t and get people angry. He follows me around to A2K and my posts just for fun. It's the only way he can get his rocks off. I wouldn't give him the satisfaction.

Well the troll, Mc Gen, said to get back to the topic so I shall. Why not do away with the pledge as it is now and just state that if the continental U.S is attacked by a foreign country we will protect our country and freedom as best we can. Screw foreign wars. I for one am tired of spending our wealth and youth on wars to make the rich richer. As far as religion is concerned I think they can fend for themselves without government money that they don't need. The fact they don't pay taxes gives them a leg up on me now.

I submit the thought that the U.S. is quite different than many other nations, in that we are continually assimilating foreigners into our country. The only other countries I can think of that does this to any extent is Britain, France, and Israel.

The problem with many of your conclusions seems to be that they are often based on a faulty premise.

The countries that have a higher percentage of immigrants than the United States include: Andorra, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Monaco, Kuwait, Macau, Singapore, Bahrain, Jordan, Nauru, Israel, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Brunei, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Switzerland, Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, Latvia, Canada, Gabon, Lebanon, Kazakhstan, New Zealand, the Gambia, Estonia, Belize, Palau, Austria, Ukraine, Croatia, Cyprus, Ireland, Côte d'Ivoire and Moldova.

Not a faulty premise. A lack of knowledge.

Ill bet that, with your diddleree of the numbers above, youd find that the US annual immigration , in solid numbers, is greater than all those countries COMBINED

And, as for the "God" reference, it is again like Social Studies (which includes U.S. history) in that it tells the student that once upon a time this nation did have an overwhelming majority of people that believed in God. It is sort of like "tradition." You know like the song by that name in Fiddler On the Roof.
