“Having freedom of speech isn’t just about protecting speech that you like, but also the speech that you don’t agree with.” - Noam Chomsky

[Skadoosh]

You probably won't see this but it needs to be explained. We have (virtually) no restrictions on speech to prevent the government from being able to restrict speech against itself. The moment you allow the government to subjectively ban certain speech it can ban speech that speaks out against the government itself.


The Bill of Rights is ALL about preventing the rise of a tyrannical government, y'all can thank yourselves for that.

what if we sat down when your Queen came by? i was stationed in the UK and manners never go out of fashion. no matter what Nation i’ve lived in, i respected their culture.

Even sprinter Usain Bolt of Jamaica reprimanded a reporter when the reporter kept interviewing him during the playing of a national anthem being played in the background. That's class. That's respect.

[TheDramacist]

I'm a bit embarrassed to be British after listening to the section on the National Anthem and freedom. It was funny up until then, but that crossed a line. Those aspects of America are closely linked to war, persecution and liberty, and it's rather akin to bad-mouthing Remembrance ceremonies in England. Don't do it.

[niyatipandya]

I am brit and i think there is nothing wrong being patriotic & nothing wrong in respecting & standing up for other national anthems

I asked my Grandmother if she ever thought of going back to Hungary, she said “ never I kiss the ground I walk on, America’s the greatest country why would I”. One of her proudest days was when she became an American Citizen. She came to NYC at 21 in 1907, speaking not a word of English. We Americans laugh at you, because you will never experience the pure joy of love of County and gratitude of FREEDOM that radiated from someone like my Grandmother.

Y’all still mad about the Boston tea party

[moni]

I don't get it, she says she doesn't like how Americans are loud but she's loud during the whole video! Lmao !

[whoops]

I'm an American on vacation in the UK right now. Every brit around me talks louder than my entire family, so I guess I disagree with one of your claims.

[wondermama]

I don't know what restaurants you've been to here in the U. S. but the wait staff will always ask you if you want your plate removed.

Patriotism is what joins our country, since we come from different cultures/countries. Patriotism is our glue, whereas other countries are joined by culture.

“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Benjamin Franklin.

[mitchmanisbomb]

You stand up for any nations anthem. It’s a sign of respect, not allegiance.

[stormloudin]

I’m from America. Not only that, I’m active duty military. I clicked on this video thinking it was going to funny annoying things that we do. Patriotism isn’t one of them. Many have came home in n a flag draped coffin. We respect and honor our fallen and living soldiers. We would stand for your anthem to out of respect

[babykots]

We stand for all national anthems at Sporting events. It’s called respect.

[kellysheridan]

Perhaps it's your age that makes you question patriotism. Being American, I would still stand for your Queen and your flag like your mother did for ours. It shows respect and most of all it shows solidarity. Which is still very important in this world.

[traci]

I’m from the USA and most Americans don’t know the words either but we stand as a sign of respect for our flag and all it represents especially the brave men and women who came home draped in one. We also stand for “Oh Canada” at games when we play a team from our neighbors. It doesn’t mean we are pledging allegiance to Canada, just showing respect.

[SamaraMoores]

There’s a difference between stating facts and being straight up rude. The national anthem is showing respect for our flag and people who serve our country. You could’ve made this video without rude remarks such as those.

[coryrich]

The 2 phrases that stuck out to me "I'd rather be safe than free..." and "People with those thoughts dont deserve to live, and should be put in jail." Sigh... the larger picture still eludes you.
