Pepsi, in all their wisdom, has placed the Pledge of Allegiance on the cans of their product.
But they took two words, 'under god' out of the pledge because they didn't want to offend anyone.....
I think we should stop buying Pepsi products because, after all, doesn't all our money say,
In God We Trust???
I would not want to upset Pepsi by giving them my hard earned cash with such a slogan on it...... :confused: :eek: :rolleyes: :p :)
I haven't bought Pepsi since the Brittney ads Cokeacola for me.
Ooh, don't want to offend Pepsi!!
I can't stand Pepsi! :p That and Coke are aobut all my father drinks though, it's disgusting.
If I drink it it either has to be soft drink, or really watered down.
Carbonated syrup isn't all that tasty. :p
Oh good grief!! What is this world coming to? :eek: I'm all for giving everyone their fair share and treating everyone as equals but c'mon...Quote:

I'm moving to Australia.
:D
So how do you feel about the American flag plastered all over commercial items? Soda, trash bags, etc, etc, etc. So if I throw my empty can of soda in the recycle bin, will I be arrested for disrespecting the flag?????????????
I'm afraid I may die without my diet Pepsi so I'll not cut off my nose to spite my face. Stickin' with Pepsi.

I have a thing for noses, so leave your's alone!
ES,
I see the Flag plastered over all kinds of things
cans, bottles, bags....that bugs me---
As far as the pledge goes, it's either all or nothing......if you read the link you'll see that the pledge was amended, by law, in the mid 50's
I just think it's a little strange that they would want to change the POA to suit THEIR goals...
There are rules for flag etiquette, but the POA's rules of etiquette are far simpler...

There is no provisions or rules for the written Pledge........
For example.
Birthday to you, birthday to you,
Birthday to ---------, birthday to you.
The word 'Happy' has been deemed unacceptable by people who are related to terminally depressed folks...I would not want to wish some sad person a happy birthday! How inconsiderate would I be?
;)
i thought this happened like right after 9/11...like 2 years ago..
anyways..i love my pepsi...i hate Coke...the only coke i like better than pepsi is the cherry. but vanilla pepsi is way better than vanilla coke. in fact...i think i'll go drink one now:D
I don't like Pepsi either! I do drink some kinds of pop, but Pepsi is not even close to my first choice.:pQuote:

I hate Pepsi..........I hate Coke..............they both taste like carbonated cough medicine to me. :o :o (and look like it too)
:p
I'M SERIOUS! LOL
I like the "under God" in the Pledge, however, like my mother said, the phrase was not there until the 1950s. I am just nasty enough to say leave it in and the whiners who just need something to complain about can just deal with it. You know, taking it out would probably offend more people than leaving it in. I thought we were a democratic republic where the majority took precedence...silly me....

what the heck's the matter with you?
And I thought this thread was started by a whine about it being taken out???? I say...why let the Constitution get in the way of public opinion! Without that silly Constitution we could still have "separate but equal" public facilities and racial segregation!
So if you are offended by Under God, no Under God, Pepsi, coke, Valentine's Day, the American flag, the absence of the American flag, greed, profit, non-profit, capitalism, socialism, religion, agnosticism, secularism, commercialism............you're in the right place.
Now, let's all go take a nap. We're getting cranky.
Can I have my cheese now?Quote:

Citing all kinds of 'isms' off the top of my head would make me dizzy! Hats off to you....
I usually post threads to make people toss out an opinion and get a good discussion going...
I liked the comments about liking coke and pepsi...
If I nap now I won't be able to sleep tonight....
:(
And who brought up valentine's day????:confused:
