Because it is.. just as your rights are protected to believe what you believe.. so are hers. Have you ever stopped to ask her why she didn't stand up or was it just easier to hang with your buds and throw things at her. While I personally don't agree with her not standing up, I have and will gladly defend her right to not stand up.. it takes all of us to make this a great country, that includes the ones that don't stand and salute the flag.. they are the ones that help us to see something that we miss due to the fact that we are watching the flag. Davis, I hope you understand exactly why that I am writing this but if you don't I hope you will at least remember some of it as you get out into the wide world away from HS because trust me when I say, some of the things that you believed in HS do change as new things are pressed into your mind
Dont get me wrong, I didnt support him in throwing it. I just think him throwing the cap isnt half as disrespectful has her not standing. If you dont like this country, GET OUT. That simple.
And as you said its her right, that right needs to be removed. She doesnt talk, except for saying she doesnt have to stand. She smells like cigurettes BAD every morning.
My honest guess why she is anti social and anti-american is because she is overweight. No, im not bashing on fat people, but this is a fitness board so I figure it would fit in well. She is basically what I was in JR. High when I was fat, didnt talk, but I wasnt anti american. What did I do? I didnt hate the world or the country or the people that threw pencaps at me, I made a change. I didnt sulk around wishing I was in good shape, I took controll and MADE a change. Too many of these "im not accepted b/c im fat" people dont want to work for a change. I am a strong believer that everyone is capton of there own ship.
And again, if she doesn't like this country, she can get the hell out, its that simple.
Edit- I like the part of you statement "thing are pressed into your mind"
What will be pressed into my mind? Politically correct BULL CRAP that people accept today. I'll tell you exactly whats gonna be "pressed." Girls started sleeping around in high school, so it is now accepted that they take BC pills (no, i dont mean the ones that use it to regulate there period). It was "pressed" into all of our heads to make it seem ok. Gay marrage became more common, so it was "pressed" into our heads that it was ok. 50 years ago girls didnt wear skirts so you could see there vagina, but it got "pressed" in our heads so its common place now. Your right our views change once we get into the "real world," they change from what we think to what we think will be accepted.
