But that's what bugs me, Jesse. If I'm pledging allegiance, it's the the country and its ideals. The flag is just a symbol of that. So specifically saying one is pledging allegiance to the flag is a little weird to me.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Shir, your question on BDS
Interesting points, Typo, but I'm not sure it's understood here the same way as you see it. There's a difference between boycotting the occupied territories and boycotting Israel. These artists and lecturers aren't boycotting Israel and don't necessarily advocating it.
Hey society!! Want to decrease the number of teenage mothers? Allow birth control to be taught in public schools and STOP GLORIFYING TEENAGE PREGNANCY!
I just needed to see it again.
ION. There's nothing that can make me angry as watching the news for more than two minutes.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Hey! I'm totally slutty! Where are my 3 other kids??
You're obviously not lazy enough. You fail at cheating welfare.
GREAT! ONE MORE THING I FAIL AT. FUCK.

It's customary to swear oaths upon fixed objects. Swords, bibles, flags, mother's graves... It runs through all sorts of human culture.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In other news, am I right to think it is laughable to say: "From [this Pakistani guy] to [that Indian guy], the team deliberately sought to include non-Western views."?
Edit: I mean because of the "from this to that" construction -- from India to Pakistan doesn't feel like much of a range....
