@mott-the-hoople saidThe Canadian national anthem doesn't address war, neither does the British national anthem. AvJoe mentioned the Dutch national anthem so I it looked it up: it doesn't address war either.
you realize that national anthems are “fight” songs…most all countries address war in their anthems, to single one out is disingenuous
American's national anthem doesn't simply "address" war; it's actually *about* a war, written by Franscis Scott Key regarding what he witnessed during war with Britain.
Right-wingers claim to love America yet know f.ck all about its history.

@mott-the-hoople saidSee the bolded part in your link? *That's* the Anthem. You quoted the original.

Do Americans sing the original part of the Star Spangled Banner that includes "slaves" during football games?
Christ, you're retarded.

@vivify saidThe anthem has worked though, don't you see? We are telling the world that bombs are easy for us, they fear us, peace through strength, such as that. What is the strongest country of 195 countries? What country would the Dutch turn to if they learned of an impending holocaust aiming at them? Why won't you answer this question?.

@vivify saidWarmongering implies states looking to start wars, little feller. Watch your use of words on the Forum , people are reading....maybe even your posts.
You realize the Star Spangled Banner is about war, right? Noah's point is that it's an interesting fact given America's history of warmongering.
Have we ever started a war? You misrepresent the USA, shame, man. You and suzie are sixth graders.

@vivify saidHumor of the day, by AvJoe; News Flash: The countries of Great Britain and Canada call on the Dutch to help them ward off the onset of Russian invasion!!!!

@vivify saidits in there, are you trying to shytweasel out of what is there in black and white?

@mott-the-hoople saidNot the part that's sung for official reasons, the way we don't mention slaves in the U.S. anthem.

Whatever, I'm not arguing this any more. AvJoe asking when the U.S. ever started a war just proves you right-wingers are retards.

@mott-the-hoople saidI see no reason to state the obvious reasons for entering various wars, and Marauder certainly knows that my statement does not include entering war for conquest, as does Russia, or North Viet Nam, or Germany, but rather for the betterment of mankind, in a word.

That sums up my post. Marauder looking for any morsel to start a worthless discussion. Oh, another reason our country goes to the aid of others is to stop the advance of Marxism (slavery), which is the number one goal of Marauder. Yep. would I lie? Read all his posts. Do you know he thinks that I should pay off the tuition loan of my neighbor? Maybe the USA should start a war on that. I would join, and they would certainly make me a general.

@averagejoe1 saidYes you would lie and do so constantly.
