Thread: Kinda surprised no one has mentioned this ("Under God" Decision")

well im sorry but if your not from america then what right do you have to say anything about what goes on here i don't tell you to get a new queen or anything like that

If you hadn't noticed this forum is called General Discussion. We're simply discussing an issue, giving our viewpoints. Don't get so riled up.

I think people are just a little too uptight. Most controversial issues are about trivial things IMHO.

I agree with you on that prelude this should have never even been an issue its just two words and benny that wasn't directed at you i just don't think it violates the constition at all which was written by people that belived in God. Our country was founded on the belief in God and thats just how it is.

I totally agree. A lot of the time controversial issues only arise because people are so pedantic.

benny i have no hate for you.
Just people from england
Im kidding don't kill me

Oh don't get me started on England...

such as?

.... if you have rational arguments for why we should scrap the Monarchy i would be happy to hear them though it seems out of context here. Why should the coordinates we are born on restrict what we can form opinions on?


Plus you must realise that countries are not completely cut off from each other, they interact, what happens in one country has influence on other countries (though it may be long term rather than short term influence).

>Hmm I don't see prog-bman mentioning Christian I do believe they were all believers in God even though they weren't Christians.

'tis true indeed.

sorry cycle didn't mean to lash out at you

You don't think it violates the Constitution? Remember that whole establishment clause thing?

The Pledge didn't originally have this in it, and our money didn't originally have "In God We Trust" on it. They were added to differentiate us from those Godless Commies. Sorry guys, the Cold War's done. It's time to get this out.

im pretty sure the cold war wasn't going on in 1909 when In God We Trust was added to the penny

And check this link out if you thought that children were forced to say the pledge and basic history on it

You missed my point, but you're right.

We were always forced to say the pledge when I was in school.
