In American society, or any democratic society for that matter, freedom is so often taken for granted and overlooked. Do you demonstrate your freedom, patriotism, or enthuiasm for the country in which you live? i.e. - voting, display of the flag, actively involved in the community? Just like to get your opinions; we've been debating it in school, and I'd like to present some other points of views. (and no, it's not homework, I'm just interested)
I'm proud to be an American, and I'll vote as soon as I am able, (in about a year or so).... |

I just turned 18 at the beginning of September so I'll probably vote in the local elections happening this November. I stand when they say the pledge in the morning at school and during the national anthem at sporting events. I think it's really disrespectful and rude when people talk, make noise, or even laugh during the pledge and especially the national anthem. I realize that not everybody has the same views and respect for the flag, pledge, anthem, etc. and that's fine but that doesn't mean you have to be rude.
