But then i'd be making the situation about me. Id' be acting like a dissrespectul douche just to make the statement that im a special snowflake that doesn't conform to popular opinion. You know, basically being a little self centered dickbag.
Kinda like refusing to place your hand over your heart or take your damn hat off.
Stop pretending like your signing your life over to the US or something. It's not that serious.

It's amazing that me quietly minding my own business and staying in my seat during the Pledge of Allegiance leads to such vitriol. That's kind of my point. I'm not trying to be a rebel, or piss off every guy in the room with an American Flag wallet. I'm simply exercising my right to not pledge any form of allegiance to any country. The only self-centered dickbags are the one who make a riot out of the situation by pumping out their chests and going on 20 minute diatribes about how not standing for a pledge is akin to teabagging a James Madison blowup doll.
