f I ever went to another countrys sporting event and they played their national anthem and I didnt stand up for it that would be disrespectful would it not?

Still a valid question

Disrespecting them would solely depend on their perception of disrespect & expectations in the first place. It's a highly subjective notion, and your question is thus in a gray area.

Sorry that I have failed in presenting a valid economic and political view. Just what was it about that post that made no sense to you that you had to resort to tossing alllusions. Maybe we can discuss that rather than our relative ages oldtimer.

to you it is just a piece of fabric. To me it is alot more. Just curious how old you are?

I am almost 29

Did you have to pledge allegiance in school? Im not sure when that stopped. Im 46 BTW.

I did.. up until 5th grade. Once you get into JR. high they don't have you do that every morning anymore. At least not when I was in school. It was in K-5 you do the pledge every day

We did up through high school and my 26 year old son never had to do it. I believe that is why my generation holds it dear?

How does your dad feel about all this?

To anyone that says it is not disrespectful, why do we even stand for the anthem and salute the flag at all?

If it wasnt considered disrespectful our beer drinking, hot dog eating fat asses would never stand up for it.

We stand out of respect right??

My dad was in prison his whole life and he is currently homeless, trying make ends meet and stay alive day by day.

I was in the Army in my early twenties. I can't say my thought process was popular, but I wasn't alone, of course in the military you have no choice but to toe the line.

I was in a Catholic grade school and middle school.. and a Catholic high school growing up. So I'm not sure my background is the norm.

I also grew up in a bad area.

But yes, to answer your question again kindergarten through 5th grade at 8am every day we looked out the window or to the corner of our room with a flag and did the pledge every day.

My mom and the rest of my family? To be honest I don't really think they have an opinion.

The flag was never a major staple of discussion.

Then again.. my mom had me young, she was 18 so her interests and values at the time were elsewhere

I was pretty clear, it's subjective. How the hell does that translate to a 'yes' in your head?? You are really reaching wildly to back yourself up.

Good lord, if you're going to try to be a smartass, at least make sure you understand the word you're arguing about.

subjective

adjective us ​ /səbˈdʒek·tɪv/

influenced by or based on personal beliefs or feelings, rather than based on facts:
Whether something is objectionable is a subjective question.

Reasons for or not for standing for the flag, reciting the pledge are subjective. I.E, dependent on the personal views of the individual who is offended or not offended.

Having been to many US hockey games and not stood with MANY others doing the same, and paid attention to the stands in Canadian home game broadcasts and seen the same there, likely not. It doesn't seem to be offensive to sit it out up there.

How does one's posture position influence or determine respect? It would stand to reason that influencing and determining respect is more directly related to well, respectful quietness during something requiring such attention.

I can respect something by not being a loudmouth about it, while sitting on my duff. Letting others do their thing their way without impeding them is doing exactly that. Are you insinuating you can't swing respect unless you're on your feet?
