dude you realize the very thing you are "refusing" to do is a sybolic respectful gesture to the REASON you can choose not to do what it is you are refusing? ie paying homage to the country that gives you such freedom...? probably not, because you are still in some level of school that asks you to say the pledge. take it like this...
rebel against your government. not your country.
if i was in your class, i would jack your emo *** up. you need to respect the sacrifices the grown ups of this country have made for you. and your grand-parents. what would your grandpa say if he knew you thought like that? he'd probably **** you up, too. grow up. make a useful rebellion. all you are saying with your actions not to support your flag or YOUR HOMELAND is that you are too ignorant to see your real enemy. its not your country in its entirety that deserves your bull**** attitude. recognize the difference.
