Do you pledge allegiance to anything/anyone but yourself? What/whom do you hold so dear? Why?

    My nation. Not the flag (just a piece of coloured bunting with a foreign nation's emblem in the corner), but the people and our collective values, the things we hold dear.

     The flag is merely a symbol that represents the country and the people Sbf. At least that is what I view my country's flag to be. Not just a piece of cloth. All the years of  blood/sweat/tears it took to build a country . Thank you for your reply and Happy Friday bye and  bye! :)

    Your flag is different, it's entirely yours. Ours is a British ensign - we haven't been a colony for 116 years, it's time for Australia to grow up and lose the Jack. Adopting the Maple Leaf didn't hurt Canada.
    That said, a flag is still only a symbol. I pledge allegiance to what that symbol represents, not to the symbol itself.

    The Earth, our Mother.

    The family, the ones we trust most of all

    The society without which there can be no ability to really survive

    The usual.

     I'm confused. On another thread you said something else with regard to pledging allegiance. Oh well. Never mind. Thank you for your reply.

    Please do not try and tell me what I said.

    You don't seem to understand a lot of what I say.  Oh well, nevermind. 

    Thank you for your reply too.
