Called having a little bit of respect while you're in a foreign country?

The most basic of concepts are lost on some people

Probably more of them stood than actual brits for our anthem I imagine as well. >.>

Id have a lil more respect for such an argument if these same people who claim "respect for America" didnt all of a sudden sing a different toon when waving the unpatriotic Confederate States of Americas flag. A lot of these same people either wave the unpatriotic flag in the name of "heritage" or dont give 2 f***s about people who do.

Honestly I find kneeling to be inherently more respectful than standing stock still.

I had to yell at the interns Friday morning because they were arguing about that garbage. Haven't even had my coffee, and I have to listen to you chuckle fucks cry about people getting on their knees? I don't fucking think so.

Told them the next person that spoke hand to hand transcribe my law dictionary. They didn't talk again until I left.

This whole to kneel or not to kneel debate is wool, pulled over your eyes to distract from the real nasty stuff that's happening....like people getting shot by police for no reason and the responsible ones for such acts getting away with murder.

Instead of people saying, let's focus on that. No instead let's freak out over kneeling to a song.

Neither of those things are happening.

So what, football players didn't even come out until after the anthem was sung until like what, 2003 or something like that. Advertisers realized that people paid more for stuff when football players were out while the anthem was sung. It's all a big scam.

Not true at all. Bud Grant cut people that didn't stand ramrod straight.
