i hate to think what saluting that flag and making that pledge every god damn day really does to them .
when you define the word 'fascist' it is someone who makes a pledge > its a pretty simple dictionary definition
no wonder then what mixed up views they can pick up . americans .
At the end of the day we are global citizenry, not any denomination , class or nation, bar the human race .
What is the definition of human ? ?> you will find it is one who posesses humanity , the humane
I am not a "global citizen."
I renounce that "citizenship", categorically and without reservation.
What kind of dictionary are you reading that defines "fascist" like that?
What good is a man who will pledge to nothing?
A man with NO loyalties or honor at all.
Less than human.
Many bankers are like that, but even THEY have loyalty to something.

I don't think many Americans realise just how foul some of their views are to people in 2011. It's surprising for both groups - the non-Americans who are shocked by the warmongery and blood lust, and the American neocons who are shocked by fundamental morality and human decency in non-Americans.

For the strange #s who starred your post , what your american pledge is , is an abomination . Get on with your loyalty and honour to the abomination . You utter fools . Go and die for evil men , see where it gets you .
Do you find a lack of loyalty to be a virtue, then, and so you think the idea of being loyal to something "disgusting"?

if you wouldn't mind, define loyalty - please
loy·al·ty
loyalty pronunciation [loi-uhl-tee]
noun, plural -ties.
1. the state or quality of being loyal; faithfulness to commitments or obligations.
2. faithful adherence to a sovereign, government, leader, cause, etc.
3. an example or instance of faithfulness, adherence, or the like: a man with fierce loyalties.
Origin:
1350–1400; Middle English loialte < Middle French. See loyal, -ty
and then, since you're positively bursting at the seams to tell us anyway - to who or what are you loyal?
and then - what on earth does any of this have to do with the OP?

Rather than just attempting to throw insults, how about specifying WHY you think it was "truly a disgusting post"?

"Busting at the seams"? No, I'm really not. I'm more curious as to why there are those who feel no loyalty to anything at all.
I do take umbrage at being labeled a "fascist" because I believe in something larger than my self, and believe it so much as to bear loyalties. However, IF that definition can be proven, then I will stand corrected, and wear the label proudly.
I'm still waiting.

Your whole post came across as nationalistic drivel...
You say that a man is no good if he pledges to nothing?
That you renounce citizenship of the world?
Less than human.... someone with no loyalties or honour...?
See you're talking about from a patriotic/nationalistic point of view..... not to one's family or humanity in general.
That's why your post is alarming, disgusting and mental.
It was everything that is wrong with ignorant, isolated,nationalistic people.

fair enough - just as I am very curious about what you're so loyal to - that you feel people are less than human for having no sense of loyalty...what's your scale - of human worth?
let's cut to the chase here - who or what are you so loyal to - and how does it have anything to do with what the OP is saying?
I suppose that is inextricable linked with what one thinks it is to be human. I happen to believe that merely being an upright bipedal hominid with loyalty to nothing other than self is insufficient. Humans tend towards formation of groups, going all the way back to tribal cave-dwellers. Having no loyalties would place one outside all groups, would it not? That would be less than human, to be excluded - by your own proclivities! - from all human groups.

not that you care :-) I also get your schtick, so - not pinning my hopes on a group hug here or anything
you at least won't run - and not so much with the deflection either. Thank you
see - you have a thing about weakness - and I sense you are very strict in your definitions and rules - fair enough
but some of us extend our loyalty to the entire group - a group without boundaries
not much different than you - just not adversarial and narrowly focused
now - I realize I'm not talking to a child - just felt the need to state the obvious before I asked - what the hell is your beef anyway? :-)
it's like you were just recently sprung from one of Zeus' body parts - born to war, ready for war - looking for war, you came in this thread scimitar swinging - a thread where the OP is just asking for less nastiness in a place that is supposedly concerned about having civilized discussions
and you go off on everyone within swinging distance - too weak, disloyal - not human...
I'd ask you to dial it down a notch - but I'm thinking you don't have any other notches
so, I asked - to who or what are you loyal? Loyalty is a subject worth discussing I think - not sure what it has to do with this thread - but still - interesting
now, I know you're waiting to have a big smarty pants moment - and all that - and that your answer is completely wasted on me - Princess Peacecamp
but - I am the one that asked
just sayin'
:-)
