Most people at my school don't say the pledge. They say the hate America, the thing is they don't realize is how good they have it here in America. If they tried living in some other place where it's a constant war zone, or not everyone has equal rights I would bet most would come back to America and be glad to say the pledge everyday.

that i can agree on but you also have to acknowledge there are better places to live, and you probably wont realise it till you live somewhere else.

That can be based on opinion...people have a very distorted view of just how good life here really is.

What about first world western countries in general?
Australia, Britain, Canada, New Zealand
or just descent, first world countries
Japan, Finland, Germany, Sweden, France
I've probably missed a bunch. But the point is, USA isn't the only good country in the world. It is a good country, but not the only one.
USA has its own advantages for living in. Though other countries will also have advantages for living that the USA does not. And what style people like is subjective.

That's alright, Apok. I don't live in them. 
It doesn't matter where you live, it all applies.
I guess I am hard-nosed about it because I believe in my country, no matter who is in the White House. It is the people who make the country, but the younger generation coming up has not been told or taught what this country, the USA, is about, why it is here, what it has gone through, and the price that has been paid for generations just so they can have the life they have.
The history books now don't tell the whole story. It has all been edited to be politically correct and to be "inclusive", when the history of this country was neither one. There was some parts of it that were down right ugly, but they are a part of the whole thing. Slavery, Indian affairs, lynch mobs, six gun justice... it is a part of the history of this nation, but it is all history.

That's quite nice
As a bit of a patriot i always feel a twinge of pride when seeing the Union Flag, i don't see why people can't learn that pledge, its not exactly long
