What does piss me off is when people come here and brag about how great their country is. Well, what the hell are you doing here if it was so great there? Or, driving down the road and I see a car with a Mexico sticker on the back. Fine, but you are in the US, where is the American flag sticker too? Don't flaunt your country and not support the one you are in also, you know.<br /><br />Sorry, didn't see the Coke commercial, but it is causing quite a stir, which I am sure was the marketing intention behind the whole thing.Theresa Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709965543595065306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639909808542124326.post-42096632687124788652014-02-08T17:46:28.721-06:002014-02-08T17:46:28.721-06:00LOL- Harry's comments make me laugh!! in a goo...LOL- Harry's comments make me laugh!! in a good way ;)<br />the coke ad bothered me... <br />i get the point they were trying to make - but I just feel that AMERICA the Beautiful should have been sung in ENGLISH - Marc agreed on that one...~ Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16563447842634387539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639909808542124326.post-53878490175714027962014-02-08T10:34:09.731-06:002014-02-08T10:34:09.731-06:00I always cringe when I hear people say 'he cou...I always cringe when I hear people say 'he could have just stopped,' using (whatever addiction they are talking about).

My wife almost never gets that way, but it's a frequent state of mind for me. Usually if something is bothering me I tend to fixate on it. I wish I could just "get over it." That would be a good personality trait.<br /><br />I didn't see the Coke commercial. Seems odd anyone would get high and right over a soft drink add. But if somebody was pushing an agenda, I guess it could happen.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639909808542124326.post-47583723166371238842014-02-07T16:42:54.588-06:002014-02-07T16:42:54.588-06:00The coke commercial?

That is what makes this country great.<br /><br />Enjoy your weekend!Cascia Talberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12001701584084843029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639909808542124326.post-66176379822022567272014-02-07T14:44:53.544-06:002014-02-07T14:44:53.544-06:00I think the whole thing about the Coke commercial ...I think the whole thing about the Coke commercial is a tempest in a teapot brought on by fear. We fear that which we don't understand, and what makes us afraid makes us angry and hate-filled.<br /><br />Let's face it, unless you are Native American you are an immigrant or the descendant of immigrants; and even they simply got here first.
