  • Nah man. I agree with you.

    I’m only saying hypothetically, if America were to ally and there was no way to come to a unified decision internally then you would likely see a division. I’m not saying that I think it would literally happen at all. I really don’t think it would. I’m an American in my 40s and Russia has always been the big bad boogie man you don’t want to become.

  • I’m with Adderbox on this. I think there are too many people within the gov or military that would not just up and join Russia. There would be dissent and sabotage, perhaps even a civil war here before America would just straight up join Russia.

  • America is so split, I think we’d see a red America (allied with Russia and/or China) and a blue America (allied with Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia) fighting itself. There would be defections, sabotage, and theft of all American military stuff.

    Maybe I’m wrong, but I would hope there’s enough good people in the military or former military with connections that would fight any alliance with Russia.

  • I loved the movie. I’m a big Cap fan (comics), so maybe I’m biased though.

    I found it entertaining. It didn’t hit you over the head politically or racially, but it had hints and undertones of our societal issues. These movies are made for a general audience and provided, what I felt, was a nice segue into a wider universe/future MCU.

    Anthony Mackie was great as a lead and he had a tough job making Cap relevant and bad ass without being a super solider but I thought he did an excellent job.

  • Thank you! I think it’s a nice compromise. Those that want to say it can and others can feel and be who they want. I grew up saying it, but these days I do think it’s weird to pledge allegiance to a flag or that we have to constantly tout how we’re the best country (we’re not). With age comes wisdom and experience.

  • I don’t think you’re wrong at all.

    Personally, I don’t hate the flag because for me it represents ideals that should be for everyone and that I should be fighting oppression of those against the dream. I have a very Captain America-esque view.

    What I cringe and have disgust with are the citizens that want to tear down these just ideals or misrepresent and distort what we should be.

  • Yes it still goes on. I live in a very liberal city with a ton of diversity bordering Chicago and our schools still do it here. However, they don’t care if you participate or not - that is your personal choice.

    I have been substitute teaching and I’ve noticed that not many kids recite it. They just listen to it being recited over the morning announcements.

  • Same boat here.

    The only issues I’ve ever personally run into with Windows are a missing driver for a software I was installing, like twice, and compatibility for gaming which was solved with admin mode and selecting a different compatibility. I’ve used Windows since 3.1

  • Hole up in Costco for two weeks or so.

    The rotting corpses who only hunger for flesh are going to be eaten by animals and bugs. Because they don’t have regular ways to maintain water balance for muscles they will atrophy and become immobile. They will pretty much be a non threat while I have plenty of food and shelter to last me.
