@no1marauder saidMaybe they just need to hear a truly soulful rendition. I think brother Kirk can lend a hand.
Jesus right wingers find something to whine about every day. I didn't even notice they played the song, but it's words are better than the war mongering "Star Spangled Banner" anyway.
Here they are:
"Lift ev’ry voice and sing,
’Til earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the list’ning skies,
Let it resound loud ...[text shortened]... hadowed beneath Thy hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our God,
True to our native land."

@shavixmir saidOr just not a jock, it’s a crappy folk song and next to ‘Jerusalem’ it’s got about as much class as a deep fried Mars bar.
Scotland has one official national anthem: God save the Queen.
Which is an anti-Scottish song.
So, obviously nobody stands to it or sings it. It’s never been accepted.
So, there are two unofficial national anthems:
Scots Wha Hae (by Robert Burns) and
Oh, Flower of Scotland (by the Corries).
Scots Wha Hae is very powerful, anti-English (although it could be cons ...[text shortened]... AIh-TI
If that doesn’t make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck, you’re emotionally dead.
Never understood why ‘God Save the Warlord’ was ever accepted as a national anthem though,

@mott-the-hoople saidAs long as we have equity at the end of the day!. We can effect that right at the game......Everybody put all of their cash on the 50yd line and the referees split it all up evenly between 60,000 people!
as a problem solver I have an idea. Instead of any song/anthem lets have a promotion foe birth control methods.
A microcosm of what this country can do!!!!! (My cousin sits next to me at the game....he doesn't work, he is on the Biden dole. He will love the split!!!)

@kevcvs57 saidJust an interesting factoid: You two, Kev and Shav, occasionally are marked as 'foreigners'. I have NEVER heard an American referred to as a foreigner, even when in Europe.

@averagejoe1 saidOh trust me you are called much worse than that, we all have our own historical niggles but on your status we agree unanimously.

@kmax87 saidYou got a point there. We are at the precipice. I am standing by my prediction,,,,,even with the Everything-Is-Wrong Biden, I do not think we can get control back, they are quite a machine.

Rome will burn again, just a few thousand miles away. Oh, well, I'm at peace. Lord, can you imagine Sonhouse if Trump pulls it off in 2024. Oh, I forgot,,,he will be in prison. (Trump that is)

@shallow-blue saidYou don'g think I would have known anything about the Netherlands, no one can even name your president, or do you have PM's there. Probably better though, I hate it that you have to know Biden!
No.

Anyway I googled to find Peeps, as I knew your word for buddy would be something really weird. 🙄 . It's there, Maybe you don't get out much. See if your Peeps at the brown cafes know the word fellers.

@AverageJoe1
You mean it's one country for white nationalist republicans.
It is actually TWO countries, and Trump has made sure of that fact.
One country for democrats and another evil enemy country for republicans.
They KNOW they can't win in a fair election so now Trump is trying to take over the country by coup.

@shallow-blue saidDon't sell yourself short, surely you can give me a reason to know something. I don't know anything about Luxembourg, either! So what is the name of your dear leader, we can start with that?
Correct. On both counts. You know nothing, never have, and never will. Sorry, "Yawl know notnn, never ov, and never ull".
