Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional?
« on: June 26, 2002, 03:08:37 PM »
Um, yeah.  That makes sense.  I guess money is unconstitutional as well.  Darn God.  Always gets in the way.

Since money will soon be worthless and unconstitutional, please send me all of yours.

I guess this makes the constitution uncostitutional too because it uses the phrase under God too.

Oh well,  I dont care.  Its not like I didnt see this coming.

If the supreme court doesnt overrule it,  its only going to lead to more.

This is the dumbest thing I\'ve ever read. Do kids even know what the words in the Pledge of Allegiance even means?

Now we know why people from our own country will join with foreigners to bomb us, nuke us, shoot us, or just generally run big stuff into a pile of us.

it\'s a forceful attempt at religion. The slogan "in god we trust" was created over 300 years ago when the only religions in the US at the time believe in jesus and YHWY. and let\'s just say, it was about 99.8% jesus. If one didn\'t believe in what the masses believed in, he/she would be scrutinized.

Besides, why should kids be forced to pledge "allegiance" to this country? I mean, seriously, it\'s basically promising to give your life for it. I think I give enough to my country when I pay my taxes and suffer the incredibly stupid laws and high tax rates. I don\'t need to pledge my life to it.

I dont see the big fuss, it was fine for 60 years b4 they decided to change it. There is really no need to have it in the pledge nor on currency.

so now wouldnt this ruling make the courts  unconstitutional since i think they have "in god we trust" or somthing to that effect written somewhere in the court room.

I think you are correct..dont remember for sure though. If so, should be removed from there as well.

I honestly don\'t understand why everyone is in such an uproar over this.  I was in school not too long ago (5 years or so), and let me tell ya, saying the Pledge of Allegiance never meant a damn thing to me.  It was just something you had to do.  You can\'t teach a kid to be loyal to God and his country by saying a few sentences every morning.  I personally don\'t appreciate someone trying to brainwash me, or my child, if I had one.

Not to be disrespectful, but I am 99% sure that the only time the Pledge of Allegiance meant anything to school kids, was for the first month or two after the WTC attacks.

If I want my child to be patriotic and "stand under God", I will be the one to teach him/her, NOT the school system.

Damn straight.  The parents will teach the kids to stand under God, not the ****in\' school.

Oh baby, you are turning me on with your common sense....

I remember pledgine allegiance and the entire time thinking, "Boy I sure would like to sit down."  

If I want to pledge my allegiance to the country I\'ll do it in my own damn time.  Now the whole God thing.  Well I personally don\'t understand why we stick God everywhere.  Seeing as to how he is fictious and all.  :thepimp:

Last I heard, they are dismissing the case. It is really dumb that this was brought up. I mean, who cares?
