Only goons can recognize jokes and everyone else is just a big dummy sharing it unironically. It couldn't be that they recognize the joke too.

If they recognize it and don't share it it'll never pop up in their feed again. They have to share just to be safe.

When you want to laugh cry as hard as you can, when you want to cry laugh all you can. When you see rain, just think of it as the world laughing with you, and laugh until you can't anymore.

We would do this in Canadian public and high schools as well. I assumed everyone did it.

It never felt like nationalist brainwashing, it was just something we had to do every day.

That being said, I'm glad I don't have to anymore, as it was rather boring.

I'm so depressed, I can't even blink.

I went to a Catholic School that added "born and unborn" on the end to make it a pro-life thing.

Edit: also schools totally do still do this. There's just an overactive conservative persecution complex.

I always thought it was stupid so by high school I just didn't say it or even stand up. A ton of kids would yell at me for not doing it. I didn't give a poo poo that I was offending them. Really makes u think

No matter how much paperwork I process, it never goes away. It only increases.
I think from the Idiots on Facebook thread in early 2012 there was something posted of a guy saying "I punched a guy for not saying 'under god' during the pledge of allegiance and got suspended" and then someone else replying "good going! shame you had to get suspended though, I guess this is Obama's America".

I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG, BROTHER!

When I went to jury duty (well the summons, where everyone is in a large waiting room waiting to see if they get picked for a jury or not) before they did anything, they had everyone stand up for the pledge of allegiance. You obviously weren't required to do it, but almost everyone I saw there did. This was also like what 8:30/9 in the morning so imagine a room full of 100+ standing, sleepy, adults saying the pledge in a monotone tired voice. It was the weirdest/creepiest thing. So in conclusing, the pledge is stupid and they should actually take it out of schools instead of the fantasy schools these image macros are about

Were they just doing the original one as it was actually written?

I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

According to wikipedia, Francis Bellamy, the man who originally wrote the pledge was a socialist :lol:. I wish that fact was a little better known.

My wife is a member on facebook of a group that does sale/swapping of items, mostly kid stuff. A little better than Craigslist, because people have to use their real name and you feel less likely to be murdered.

A few weeks ago a backyard breeder put up some cane corso puppies that were super cute, for (I think) $600 each. She sold them all super fast, and then disappeared, leaving the group and blocking everyone's calls.
Then the buyers started to post on the group asking if any of the other buyers could get ahold of the seller. Why's that? ALL OF THE DOGS HAVE PARVO (and the seller probably knew about it) :dogstare:

Also, the "Under God" part was added in the 1950s, so we could fight communists or something. Founding Fathers had nothing to do with it, so the idea that removing it is making GBS threads on tradition/history is actually the opposite of what removing "under God" would be doing.

She discovered oils and now she just claims they cure everything, and she has no need to any medication, or doctors. Last winter she was curing her kid's flu with oils too.

Also when the oils fail, she has turned to the Zyto Compass Scan. If you spend at least 1 minute looking up the Zyto scan, it'll be obvious that it's a pyramid scheme and that the thing you put your hand on doesn't actually diagnose or do anything besides take your money.

I know I've seen it posted in the thread, but I can't seem to find it, here or Google.

It's a meme or a screencap that's basically a bunch of ways in which someone benefits, throughout his day, from government programs, and then ends with "and goes home and posts on Facebook about how worthless the government is and how they can't do anything right", or something like that.

If you find this via Google, please share your -fu.
