  • The biggest problem is that kids are reciting it without understanding the words they're saying or the concepts they convey. When I was a little kid I was just repeating the syllables I was given, with no real idea about what it all meant. Nobody should take any pledge until they can clearly explain what it means and what it means to them. And obviously a pledge should always be voluntary.

    Same as forcing a kid to go through the sacraments but I digress.

  • And when it gets real heavy, and you start getting stroppy
    They'll deal you out some mighty fine dope
    Librium, Mogodon, Thorazine, Valium
    They haven't got a pill called Hope
    Thousands of us women have been cut down by lobotomy
    Terrorized by ECT
    Bullied into passivity, seduced into servility
    I'm talking about you and me

  • I'm from NJ and Murray, merry, marry, and Mary are all distinct.

    Berry is like merry and bury is like Murray.

    I've lived in Philly and then the suburbs for a couple of decades now and have never noticed the berry-bury thing - I'm guessing it's a South Philly thing? So do you eat straw'bury's or do you 'berry' your dead pets?

  • I hate it. I don't personally want any eye contact, so I don't know how much eye contact is the right amount, and I end up making brief eye contact because I know I should, then looking away because it's uncomfortable and I don't want it to be too much. And I lose my train of thought in the process. It's so much easier to talk to people if I can look in their general direction but not in their eyes.
