: 1. Who is wearing Red White and Blue today?
I see no point. Ditto for tomorrow.
: 2. I dare you to stand up if you are at work and start singing either "The star spangled banner" or "God Bless America" right now... it's not like they can fire you, and if they do, you could sue for a buttload of mad cash.
No, I'd just look like an idiot if I sang the Star Spangled Banner. Fuck the God Bless America bullshit.
: 3. Is patriotism dead? If so, when did it happen?
Patriotism runs rampant, foolishly so. Mostly it is blind and uncritical of injustices but there are still a few who cherish the rights to free speech and dissent.
: 4. If someone rips on America, do you...
e. logically assess his rant and correct what needs corrected. Facts are facts.
: 5. Seek out someone with an opposing political view, and give them a hug. Because you are both free to beleive, and express what you want.
Only if that person's opinion is grounded in sound logic. I refuse to hug someone who is bigoted just because some old book claiming to be written by an invisible superhero in the sky says to be a bigot. Opinions CAN be wrong.
: 6. Send money to AshFan so that I can buy handguns, alcohol, and tobacco, and use them all at the same time, at my leisure.
I need my money for those things, fuck you.
