I have got to bust in here and defend Blank04. What he is saying is so true. I wish the government had a "love it or leave it" policy. Now I'll admit that the United States has its flaws

And by flaws you mean ... its people being free and all? That is basically what you are whining about: Too much freedom of speech in this country. There is nothing American about your whiny tirades against personal freedoms.

The great thing about this is that many of you have turned this into something greater than what I was saying.
#1. I am not a die hard supporter of Bush but I will say that Sharon is not killing Palestineans with the funds provide by President Bush. We are simply showing support to Israel, an Allie of this nation. Killing mass amounts of people can be seen under the leadership of Saddam Hussein, Yassar Arafat, and Adolf Hitler.

#2. Bauhas-
This country took no part in the building of Israel. In fact, it was the British which brought them to the Middle East and saw that they could settle in what was at the time, a torn nation of Palestine.

#3 Celtic New Ager-
I never said people need to be more American or more like me, I'm saying they should respect the country for which they reside. They complain about this nation, yet they remain to live it and reap the benefits of living in this free nation.

#4 Sadha-
We don't sit in foreign nations and throw food at people which we don't agree with or sit there and scream and physically assault them. I have never been outside of this country. So, what kind of rude qualities do you mean?

What I am trying to get through is the fact that these students were animals, there to harass and physically and mentally offend another groups opinion. They said they WOULD RATHER STRAP BOMBS TO THEIR CHESTS THEN CALL THEMSELVES AMERICANS. What did the SFSU administration do? NOTHING!!!

That's fine that you don't say the Pledge, that's your opinion. You still respect the freedoms this country has given you(I'm Guessing).

The real idiots are the one's who sit around and shrug their shoulders. WE CAN NOT TURN A BLIND EYE TO THESE ANIMALS WHICH ATTEND OUR UNIVERSITIES AND WALK OUR STREETS YET STILL HAVE THE AUDACITY TO SAY THAT THEY WOULD RATHER STRAP BOMBS TO THEIR CHEST THEN CALL THEMSELVES AMERICANS!!!

I am not saying that all Muslims are animals, I'm saying these people who fall under the category of extremist citizens who hate America are the one's we should look out for.

I don't care if your black or white or chinese. Just show respect to this country and the people and opinions expressed with in it.

I'm all for voicing opinion but not in this way.

Blank, are you an Indian? (Does anyone watch Strangers With Candy? If so, I hope you found that as amusing as I did.)

If you don't love this country, get out.

Shut up. I refuse to say The Pledge at school, does that mean I should leave? I don't believe I should give respect to a country that doesn't respect me or my friends.

Everyone is free to like or dislike this country. The only time it should be an issue is if that dislike turns violent.

WHITE POWER!

Don't turn this into a racial debate. I don't give a damn if you're white, black, jewish, or Islamic. If you don't love this country, get out.

Now I'll admit that the United States has its flaws, but if you want to talk bad about the US and its citizens and you are a current resident, then get the hell out. Now when Clinton was in office, a man whom I despise, I still had my pride and respect for the US despite the fact that I disagreed with certain policies.

And to go back on what Blank said about what the extremists did to the CSS, If I had anything to do with it, I'd deport those a$$holes within 30 minutes. And I strongly agree with Blanks statement that if you're coming to this country in search of opportunity and freedom of speech, you have an obligation to respect this country.

I am sick and tired of extremist groups and foreign immigrants living in this country and not upholding the values which we as Americans treasure.

---

Apparently, you want a family from... say Ghana... to act the same as Americans. Impossible, why? Because they are immigrants, and in their country things are different. And don't come to me with the crap that Americans are perfect.

quote:

---

If these people don't like this country, they should just leave. But they don't.

---

It's not that they don't like your country, it's that they're not the same as you and you can't bear that thought.

quote:

---

Because people come to America to find freedom and oppurtunity yet they do not wish to show this country the respect it deserves.

---

Oh really? Tell me, who are the construction workers in the US? Who do all the dirty work? Immigrants. ANd what do you want them to do, make out with your flag and sing the anthem in your shower?

And another thing, don't tell them they should speak English, because the US has NO official language.

quote:

One of the Muslim students even said at one point that he would rather strap a bomb to his body than call himself an American.

---

I'd do the same, but does it mean I'm ready to fly a plane into the White House? No.

This is a violation of free speech and the fact that the dean will not punish the students properly is wrong.

---

Yes, but if they weren't Muslim, in fact, if they were white kids from the South, would you want them to have the same punishment? No, that's the honest answer.

Oh please,Bush is allowed to support Sharon to kill Muslims and Muslims are the extremists for throwing food?

This is basically what the US did to the muslims, when israel was being built.
