Quicksand doesn't count as a beach though.

Student suspended for refusing pledge

And:



Flag Salute Cases - Court, School, Children, Pledge, Religious, and Allegiance



I have no interest in answering your retarded question. You'll just dismiss anything I have to say on the subject.

Boykin was not suspended for not saying the pledge. He was suspended for making a spectacle out of his decision.

Remember beaches are just the average coastline.

Good on any network for editing out this religious stupidity. It's golf, it's not church time.

So stupid.

What does to Pledge of Allegiance to the United States have to do with church? The only time I've ever recited the Pledge in church was during Vacation Bible School or a holiday like the 4th of July.

Ahh, but the pure white beaches of Florida aren't quicksand!

Not in Florida or the Bahamas!!!!!

Yeah, i was hoping you were gonna clarify...FL i will accept, the shores of LA and TX are nasty and horrible. You should take a trip back to the Carribean, its gotten somewhat cleaner there so its quite nice now.

Still even Venice Beach and the South Of France don't even compare, until you've seen the reefs of Australia. That's the best this planet has to offer, that i have seen.

Because they edited out the "under God" part, which is what they should do. America is not a country under a God or under a monarchy for that matter.

Louisiana's beaches will always be somewhat murky because of the Mississippi emptying there, unless of course, you go out to the barrier islands.

Yeah, same with Texas (but for slightly different reasons haha).

The wonderful thing about America is that people are free to say or not say "under God" but it seems that many quake in their boots if they hear His name. Those people just need to put on their big girl panties and deal with it instead of crying.

Well by now I am sure that most people have heard of NBC's blatant disregard of the Pledge Of Allegiance during the US Open Golf programing by purposely editing out "under God" not once but twice. NBC says that they apologize for the "regrettable" editing. Yeah right. As far as I am concerned it is time for heads to roll at NBC.

No shocker here, NBC is the media arm of the liberal left who wants references to God locked away where they cannot be seen or heard. That is what the channel block feature on our remotes are for.

All I can say is bless their lil' pea-pickin' hearts!

So, if I'm reading you correctly, you have no problem with what NBC did, seeing as all they were doing by editing it was exercising their free speech rights, correct?
