It's not disrespectful at all to sit during the pledge. If you don't see the pledge as anything more as reciting a handful of lines (is guilty), then why bother standing? It's no one else's business why you decide to waste the energy of standing or not, and it's entirely up to you. If they claim it's one thing, they're just ignorant to your beliefs and want you to do things their way.

At my school, we had the pledge first period (when I think the most clearly), and EVERY teacher I had learned real quick not to tell me what to do when they have no legal obligation to do so, mostly because I pwnd them with logic and twisted their flawed line of thinking to the point of it almost breaking entirely.

All in all, I don't give a rats ass if someone wants to stand or not. Personally, I stay out of peoples business, and I like people to stay out of mine. I didn't stand for the pledge, and people who told me to got a real quick explanation as to why I didn't.

Now, don't get me wrong, I don't have any disrespect for anyone who wants to stand, nor for anyone who feels differently than I do (i.e. (ex)military personnel or family thereof), I just like doing things my way, and I'll be damned if someone will tell me to change it.

I'm not really touchy on this subject, but I usually stay seated, unless a teacher enforces it. Last week in my history class as we were supposed to get up, I stayed down simply to just get started on my work. Thats usually why I don't get up, or I just feel lazy. But, yeah, sometimes I do stand up.. depends how i'm feeling.

Also, I don't mean any disrespect or anything by not standing, I really am grateful for living in this country.

Honestly, who gives a rat's ass about saying a pledge to your country?

1. By living in your country, it is assumed that you respect the country and God.
2. Free will, my boys.

Well I have changed thoughts after this topic- I never really considered the free speech/religion/etc. ideas into this particular subject.

I still think that it's not TOO much to ask to stand up, but I definitely don't get as bitter when I see 10 people sitting down

On a somewhat related topic, it's always really freaking awesome when the whole student section at UCF yells "KNIGHT" when the word "night" is sung in the anthem. It just gives me chills every time.lol
