May 22, 200521 yr Too much of ANYTHING will kill you. In a lot of cases it has to be in an absolute extreme which vitrually no one will ever accomplish - such as keeping coke in your mouth non stop for 12 hours (though of course that 'experiment' was obviously done with a dead tooth, again rendering it less credible). But I'll tell you this and it's 110% true: an awful lot more people die from drinking too much water than those who manage to dissolve a tooth with coke. Example: lots have died from accidentally ingesting poisonous stuff then drinking far far too much water in an attempt to dilute it. To summarise: both are completely and utterly irrelvant and have absolutely nothing to do with the argument.
May 22, 200521 yr i just think the pledge should be said 1 time in your life, you should really mean it and then go about ur business. Jeez dude, are you American? If you hate the pledge so much THEN DONT SAY IT, and dont stand, and lay your head down and cover your ears and hum to yourself when we have the CHOICE to say it each morning at school. If you hate America's heritage so much then why are you even living in it? Move to Canada if the American pledge and it's recitation offends you so much. It is said each day to remind you that you wouldn't be where you are today, (probably in a home, with parents that love you, and a school that gives you a good education, and much more) without the blood, sweat, tears, and thousands of lives spent during the numerous wars fought to keep America independent from outside rule. If that offends you...then you have the choice to not say it. I dare you to say the pledge one morning, and actually pay attention to the numerous words recited throughout it...especially "Liberty, and justice for all" and while it may seem like just a droning pledge, actually think and ponder about what you are saying...and what was given up so that YOU could stand and say it. The pledge has real meaning to me, but I guess I'm one of the few that actually pays attention to the words. Its sad to see half of my first period class not even stand up during the pledge :( But...its a person's choice, and America wouldn't be America without it.
May 22, 200521 yr You attempted, but failed, to argue my point... Coke makes their product looks cool, and doesn't list the bad points. Army commercials make being in the army look fun. There is a big difference between not telling people that you have a chance of your teeth decaying if you dont brush your teeth enough, and making the army look like a video game. Can't say i've ever seen the Army use video games in their recruiting adverts, but fair enough, i can see your point. You've never seen the commericals for the Army that start off showing a video game for what looks like a Korean guerilla warfare game? Advert for the American army? He's from England, I don't think that's the American Army's target market. I don't know where he's from. Its in response to what he said about never having "seen the Army use video games in their recruiting adverts." I guess you can't read? Each bold word is like a knife in my heart. Idiot. Dreaming of that face againIt's bright, and blue, and shimmeringGrinning wideAnd comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes

Once again I guess you can't read. I'll bold them for you. He didn't rhetort back after I said something about the commerical, you did. So you were the one who apparently didn't read the fact that he made the intitial question about the advert. Can you read that correctly?

I was unaware this was a 2 person discussion. I still have honestly no idea what you're getting at anyway? Why is it that I can't read? Unless I missed you saying "NO ONE ELSE MAY REPLY TO THIS POST!". Maybe you forgot to bold it. Sometimes I have trouble reading words with a regular style format you know.

May 25, 200521 yr Do I have to break everything down to you? You were the one who bolded the words he and you obviously pointing out the difference, and I was pointing out the fact that you jumped right in putting yourself in line with him, and are therefore supporting what he says. You were arguing a point in his favor that didn't make sense to what was already said. Does that make more sense?
May 25, 200521 yr i just think the pledge should be said 1 time in your life, you should really mean it and then go about ur business. A pledge of allegiance (wether it be to a person or a nation, though the first option was more common in distant history though) means whatever you do, your master is always the first priority in all of your decisions and you will fight to death protecting it/him. In this case it would be a nation, America. I could safely estimate that 99% of people who say aloud the american p.o.a. have no idea what it stands for.
