| SecondWar said: The backlash just symbolises blind loyalty. But there seems to be a good number of people who just don't want to hear about it. They would say, protest in a different way - but how exactly? To some people it appears to be 'unpatriotic' to highlight issues that dampen a belief of so ething that is believed to be perfect, an obsession some people seem to have taken to practically religious extremes. Im am curious however. If I was to wear a blindfold during the anthem, as a symbol of blind loyalty, how would that be received? |
"protest in a different way - but how exactly?"
Not in the middle of work.

Does that mean if you do not die, you have not sacrifice anything. Or are you saying you must serve in the military in order to be considered sacrificing anything. Just wondering because anytime I hear someone talk about sacrificing something they throw in pictures like this. I guess the rest of us must be trash then if this is what it really means to sacrifice. |
To give ones life for a cause many would consider 'sacrificing everything'. Of course, just because you don't give up your life doesn't mean you're trash, it just means you were only willing to go so far.
Going back to the Nike ad, I find the wording unfortunate. Did Colin really 'sacrifice everything' when he's got a big marketing deal with a huge corporation like Nike?
I could say more but I'll leave it at that for now...

They made an inspirational ad. The 'Just do it' campaign isn't new. Its about fighting through adversity. These are noble causes and stories mentioned in the ad. When you see black people, in general, does it make you angry? Would it be better in your opinion if black people were denied the right to free speech? |
Where are these questions coming from? They feel so out of left field.
