Dow Jones and the Temple of Doom: Krieghund: I had a kindergarten graduation ceremony in 1980, so I wouldn't really consider that part news.

Yeah, but were you forced to sodomize a baby eagle as part of the ceremony?


Nah, it was a Catholic school. I was forced to sodomize something else entirely.

The water was cold: Krieghund: I had a kindergarten graduation ceremony in 1980, so I wouldn't really consider that part news.

As did I in 1965.


Seriously? In 1979 I don't remember any ceremony for moving on to 1st grade... maybe its just me.

Trance750: OK, but it's OK to have a prayer room for Muslims.

And I suppose all the kids are required to go there and praise Allah twice a day.

JK47: Tell would be news to Francis Scott Key since "In God We Trust" appears in the fourth stanza of the lyrics he wrote in 1812.

Fourth stanza? LOL. How many people know there's actually a second stanza to The Star-Spangled Banner?

Did you pull a muscle with that stretch? It helps to do some warmups first.

Greta Hawkins needs a one way parachute trip to Hellmand Province, Afghanistan in order to familiarize herself with what an awesome nation she is blessed to live in. If she can fight her way back out without being raped to death by Islamic savages, earn enough in the black markets of Pakistan to get passage to Tajikastan and then apply for re-entry to the blessed United States, I bet you the value of my ranch that biatch would happily gleefully sing God Bless America and issue a fatwa on any precious twinklings and their parents who were "offended".

GilRuiz1: thisisarepeat: As much as I wish it were the first damn amendment, and required execution for any public official suspected of believing in the sky wizard, it does not exist, its a good idea, but just a fantasy.

That's a lovely fantasy you got there.


It read better before you removed the parts about unicorns, Ben Franklin and French whores.

So please stop acting as if it were law instead of just something Ben Franklin mused about between French whores.

Jefferson, not Franklin. Although, if we did have a statement of total separation, one could argue that anyone professing faith in course of public duties could be seen to violate that....

Uhm. Kindergarten graduation is not indicative of the "there are no losers" mentality. When you graduate, it means you did the work & you passed.
 
2012-06-10 04:44:09 PM
Settle down guys. A kindergarten graduation means you have a 10 minute ceremony to mark the transition and take some nice photos. It's not like they're buying expensive presents or throwing a kegger afterwards.

And yeah, children singing Lee Greenwood songs for a school function would be a farking travesty, whether you're "P.C." or not.

Subby didn't know that there's such a thing as kindergarten graduation ceremonies? My parents both had one. In 1955. I had one in 1988.

I'm okay with not having small children sing about god at their school. They could have picked any other number of America-related songs to do though, instead of going right for the teeny bopper.


While we are at it, we should ban history, cause God had a huge part throughout humanity
 
2012-06-10 04:48:45 PM
Dow Jones and the Temple of Doom: Yeah, that song is pandering jingoistic hackery at its finest. Good call.

No shiat... That song is Lee Greenwood looking around at half-empty concert halls and plummeting record sales and thinking to himself:

"better write myself one song that causes the rubes to open up their wallets and fund my retirement with residual checks for the next couple of decades.

Should I write a song about God, or should I write a song about America? Wait, I think I know just the thing..."

Newsflash, chucklefark; graduation means you're moving on to the next level of schooling. It doesn't mean every little snowflake gets a trophy and a ribbon for showing up. It means they completed the work and earned the grades required to move on to 1st grade, just like 8th grade, 12th grade, and when you finish your major program in college.

Kindergarten graduations have been going on for a loooong time. Here's a photo of me at my kindergarten graduation in May, 1977.

As someone else said, it's mainly for the parents.

That's a shame, Franklin is a lot more interesting. Maybe I can submit a script to the history channel and get this fixed.

Back in my day (1964) we didn't have such ceremonies. And we recited the Pledge Of Allegience.. Do kids still do that?

She's batshiat crazy. Basically all that needs to be said. Nobody needs to get all hot and bothered and call for our government to mandate patriotic songs be sung at every public ceremony.

We're discussing this on my facebook right now.

Unfortunately for me, most of the people I'm discussing with are rabid, jingoistic, right winged idiots who have no idea of what the word jurisprudence means, or the fact that just because "Separation of Church And State" are not found exactly in the constitution, does not mean that it is not a legal concept.

Had to sing that stupid USA song in 4th grade and changed the lyrics around a bit and shouted them out during the recital. Got about a minute into it before I got pulled off the stage by my ear, 10 licks with a paddle, a 2 day vacation and my conduct grade on my report card for the entire year was an F. Which had a B underneath the white-out the teacher used to change it.

Why are you complaining? The crappy countries in the Middle East are Teapublican paradise. Miniscule labor costs, government-enshrined religion, weak gun control. Why don't you move there so the Constitution won't apply to you?

Gawd, I hate that song. Not is it only ridiculous pandering to the The Only Amurikans Who Count (TM), but it's just a crappy song that's only famous because our corporate masters needed some jingoistic drivel for ceremonies, etc. Hell, Greenwood could sing a song about Buster Keaton having scuba sex with a redhead with big bazongas, and I'd still probably retch listening to it...
