darkstar Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 (edited) Fuck the South. Fuck 'em. We should have let them go when they wanted to leave. But no, we had to kill half a million people so they'd stay part of our special Union. Fighting for the right to keep slaves - yeah, those are states we want to keep. And now what do we get? We're the fucking Arrogant Northeast Liberal Elite? How about this for arrogant: the South is the Real America? The Authentic America. Really? Cause we fucking founded this country, assholes. Those Founding Fathers you keep going on and on about? All that bullshit about what you think they meant by the Second Amendment giving you the right to keep your assault weapons in the glove compartment because you didn't bother to read the first half of the fucking sentence? Who do you think those wig-wearing lacy-shirt sporting revolutionaries were? They were fucking blue-staters, dickhead. Boston? Philadelphia? New York? Hello? Think there might be a reason all the fucking monuments are up here in our backyard? No, No. Get the fuck out. We're not letting you visit the Liberty Bell and fucking Plymouth Rock anymore until you get over your real American selves and start respecting those other nine amendments. Who do you think those fucking stripes on the flag are for? Nine are for fucking blue states. And it would be 10 if those Vermonters had gotten their fucking Subarus together and broken off from New York a little earlier. Get it? We started this shit, so don't get all uppity about how real you are you Johnny-come-lately "Oooooh I've been a state for almost a hundred years" dickheads. Fuck off. Arrogant? You wanna talk about us Northeasterners being fucking arrogant? What's more American than arrogance? Hmmm? Maybe horsies? I don't think so. Arrogance is the fucking cornerstone of what it means to be American. And I wouldn't be so fucking arrogant if I wasn't paying for your fucking bridges, bitch. All those Federal taxes you love to hate? It all comes from us and goes to you, so shut up and enjoy your fucking Tennessee Valley Authority electricity and your fancy highways that we paid for. And the next time Florida gets hit by a hurricane you can come crying to us if you want to, but you're the ones who built on a fucking swamp.

John Smith Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 See, I think that what you see on TV/FILM/The Web even after the FCC fallout would dictate otherwise, but whatever. These are ludicrous, but could somebody post up w/ all the equally stupid/disruptive decisions made in schools under the auspices of political correctness? You mean things like teaching evolution? Or metrics? New Math? Or things like not endorsing a state religion and keeping that discussion out of the classroom so that the classroom can be good for things like science, math, english etc...? Is there any doubt these days that the decline in our education system is tied into the rrise of radical conservatism? It's what happened in texas under their previous govenor. Their school system was so gutted that they had a hell of atime getting techers to take jobs their and were interviewing people by phone and fax. I have a friend who got ajob there using just that method of interviewing, never even visted the state till she moved there to start work.

So, i'm confused...these things ARE being taken out and that should improve things, but the educational system is on a decline. We said a pledge of allegiance w/ the word God in it, celebrated Christmas/Halloween/Thanksgiving, a moment of silent prayer was held w/ the space shuttle exploded, etc...all while finding time for math, science, metrics, evolution, etc....was the educational system worse or better then than now? c'mon.

EL the Famous Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 couldn't have put it better. (I should add a disclaimer when concurring like that, since I haven't been able to figure out whether we get along or you loathe my existence. But still, well put.) I tell you what, picking at it from thread to thread/ post to post or posting stuff in your signature is a sure-fire way to move things in the right direction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My father never said the pledge in class with the word god in it. It was nto added until later as a way to ferret out the communists who would never put their nation under god. By the way, how is the pledge said in your town? Everywhere in America? Hmmm, thought so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reni Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 The debate about the pledge goes both ways......there are some religious sects who don't believe in the pledge of allegiance because they refuse to pledge loyalty to a nation/state - thinking it goes against the tenets of their religion and is not in the best interest of the world.
