Ask Lemmy

Free breakfast.

can it be nothing. why not nothing

A pledge enumerating the basic human rights of all people.

No flags, no governments, no religion needs a pledge. We need to pledge to be honorable human beings above all else.

Nothing. Just let the kids do their morning uninterrupted.

It's state law where I live. Fucking crazy.

Nothing, propaganda pledges don't have a place in institutions of learning.

Nothing.

If you want your citizens to be loyal, give them a good life, not a brainwashing.

I am a Swede, my life has been good, I may not be physically fit for fighting, but I absolutely would join the military and do support for the fighting for Sweden if needed.

This one sounds kinda good:

• One should strive to act with compassion and empathy towards all creatures in accordance with reason.
• The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
• One's body is inviolable, subject to one's own will alone.
• The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the another is to forgo your own.
• Beliefs should conform to our best scientific understanding of the world. We should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit our beliefs.
• People are fallible. If we make a mistake, we should do our best to rectify it and resolve any harm that may have been caused.
• Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion , wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

I would replace it with education. Which is the purpose of schools.

Delete the middle.

“I pledge allegiance to liberty and justice for all”

How about nothing? Why do we need to indoctrinate children with any kind of this bullshit?

I just never did it, why even replace it. just remove it entirely.

No pledge. And "God bless America" should be dropped in favor of "Yippie-Ki-Yay, motherfucker".

The 7 sacred tenants of the Satanic Temple

Ironically, I think the Satanic Temple would oppose such a policy.

By Grabthar's Hammer, by the Suns of Warvan, you shall be avenged.

The Team Rocket motto

Nothing. Maybe a “good morning, do your best, and remember to be kind today”

Gee, I dunno...How about learning something?

daily affirmations would be nice for the kiddos

2 minutes of deep breathing to relax and concentrate, repeated through the day.

That's it, just give everyone a chance to relax and center before getting back to the crazy.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Silent meditation.

Nothing. There would be no replacement and the pledge would fade from memory.

"we love our bread, we love our butter, but most of all we love each other" 🥰

The I Love Egg song. No shortcuts.

Could even make an entire assembly about it. Every morning, spend five minutes dancing and showing allegiance to the vitamins and minerals in you, and oodles of the proteins too (oodle doodle)!

I vow to live my life in a way that supports the thriving of all life in perpetuity.

I pledge allegiance to the drag of the United Queens of America.

The navy seal copypasta

Back when I was an extremely earnest 14-year-old I wanted to replace it with Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot speech, but honestly that's probably too long and I don't think forcing 5-year-olds to recite something they won't even understand is a good way to instill anything worth instilling.

I drink it from a cup.

I drink it from a bottle.

I drink it from the belly button

Of a super model!

Apple juice and vodka!

Apple juice and vodka!

Why you drinking water?

Apple juice and vodka!
