I'm not sure if "O Canada" has been butchered at sports games like "The Star Spangled Banner" has, though.

The star spangled banner is melodically all over the place, I mean I think the person that wrote it used a computer program to randomly select notes, and it gets butchered way worse than Canadas anthem, and more often, but our anthem has been butchered to a lesser extent

Nah, canada's anthem's pretty nice.

It's not long at all and hard to butcher (although I've heard the butchery), but it's still catchy.

+1 For it sending a peaceful message.

Yes, all the drunk hockey fans singing O-Canada ^_^
In battle, in the forest, at the precipice in the mountains,
On the dark great sea, in the midst of javelins and arrows,
In sleep, in confusion, in the depths of shame,
The good deeds a man has done before defend him.

Atleast it mentions war once, although the first part would piss the hell out of Quebec.

CHEERIO!

I remember I used to pledge alleigance to the flag of the United States every fucking morning at school when I was in the US....for something like 10 years.

Ie, I can say it any time I will, it's still in my brain, anchored in place:

I pledge allegiance,
to the flag
of the united states of america
and to the republic
for which it stands
one nation
under God (yea they have under God in their pledge..)
indivisble
with justice and liberty for all.

Tbh, I prolly recited that more times than jack, redemption, gooback all put together, because I think other schools did it like once a month...

I'm more patriotic than you nubs. :P

Why? It's barely a nation.

....

I mean, it deserves more than a national anthem, because it's definitely not a nation.... it's a glorious empire!! :D

It's ridiculous to do that at a school. Schools have to be neutral and teach childeren about all nations and they have to do that in a serious way hmmmm

I'm pretty sure Nepal doesn't. For some reason I kept thinking Lebanon but I know that's not right since they have the Cypress tree.

Um Max, a square is a rectangle.

So if there were no other humans on Earth, wouldn't it seem that half the things you do would be meaningless, and the other half boring?

But humans are a bit over-rated, don't you think?
No point rescuing the billions that you never met.
Wouldn't you rather push them down the cliff rather than the ones you love most?

Of course.

If you had the power to be a tyrant, why would you refuse from being one? It is most enjoyable, after all. It's the feeling inside you that keeps screaming, "Imagine if this was happening to you," that keeps you from being cruel.

Those who hate you will try to get back at you.
Those who are in fear of you will simply avoid you.

The latter is what you are aiming for.
So take the mask, and not the whip, and strike fear, but not hatred, into those.
