I am going to get a GPS & my 4 y/o son is obsessed w/ the ‘black n white’ checkered flag at the end of the route on my friends Garmin…the unit I am looking at is a Tom Tom & I was just wondering if they also use the "black & white" checkered flag when arriving at your destination???
You may have to turn your volume up…here goes (please don’t laugh)
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thru the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream:
Tis the star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Japan’s "Chinese Herald" reported that a Japanese Qingnian formed by the civil society, the streets in Tokyo recently to promote "Diaoyu Islands are China’s territory."
At 19:00 on October 27, in Tokyo’s Shinjuku Station East Exit, Japan "statements against racial discrimination would be" the six young people at street campaign to improve hand-sound speakers preach their views, and distributing leaflets.
The main content of their propaganda: Japan’s high school system should not exclude free Korean schools in Japan was originally disputed the Chinese territory Diaoyu Islands.
In their view, although the Japanese Ministry of the "expert meeting" has been found to meet the Korean school system in terms of high school for free, but some in Japan to the Japanese abduction issue is not resolved as an excuse to review on Korean schools, which in itself is the "violation of human rights."
On the Diaoyu Islands issue, they are questions and answers in the form of leaflets recorded their views. Leaflets following major elements:
Q, I heard the Senkaku Islands (Diaoyu Islands) are Japan’s territory to carry out aggression against China, TV’s "World Theatre" This said, it is not very trouble?
A, no! Japan’s aggression. Seems to be about 150 years ago, the Japanese invaded China and captured the Diaoyu Islands. Europe’s own past casually formulated the "world rules" (international law), the Japanese Foreign Ministry said Japan is done in accordance with this rule. That follow such a rule, the European to win the aborigines of the land, this is shocking. And in the Diaoyu Islands issue, Japan has not actually done in accordance with this rule, but to use the occasion of the confusion Sino quietly seized (that is not declared that he would into Japanese territory, but in secret.) Would like to study this issue, see "statements against racial discrimination would be" pages. (They all read the famous Japanese historian INOUE work on the Diaoyu Islands, which is quite resonant.)
Q, is it? But this is the word of the past, is now in the 21st century, if not territorial disputes, how to determine the Chinese fishing Okinawa problem?
A, no! Japan Coast Guard ship (armed ships) are now offshore activities over the Diaoyu Islands, are continuing the aggression and domination, should the Diaoyu Islands as the South Pole, as do not belong to any country as a "total of the island," the wise scholars think so. But this Japanese government must admit its mistakes, apologize, saying that "aggression against us, sorry," and withdrew to the Coast Guard ship, or else someone else is difficult to understand.
Their leaflet also says: against the Diaoyu Islands issue in Japan due to racial discrimination because the tendency.
October 16, Tokyo, Roppongi with 2,000 people attended an anti-China demonstrations. When the procession came near Roppongi station, "remarks against racial discrimination would be" in the Constitution and the Kashiwazaki are often wild male Jiro, took the words "to the end of colonialism, say no to racial discrimination, discrimination against racial remarks will be" the yellow banner and ran into the procession to protest against the Chinese people that they, the team suddenly chaos, protesters, police and two protesters were twisted into a ball.
Masanori Kashiwazaki and often persist in wild male Jiro procession, the sit-in protest. They called out "against the harassment of Chinese schools", the police immediately opened them, carried away, they are still shouting slogans, the police dragged them a small alley, a small alley sun flag in hand gathered to participate in the procession of people, shouting slogans at them.
October 27, Masanori Kashiwazaki and often wild male Jiro also participated in the street campaign, their promotional activities carried out from 7pm to 8:45 or so.
A couple years ago I had to watch as Jr’s incompetent and ignorant cousin screwed up his race and allowed Kyle Busch to take the checkered flag at the Glen.
Because of this the "greatest driver" of all time had to go another win-less season on the road courses.
Well, now that Jimmie Johnson has won at Infenion (not that he is in the same league as Jr), Is Dale Earnhardt Jr, now considered the greatest driver of all time to have never won on a road course?
The Star Spangled banner is an awful song about our flag. The melody is awful and it is very awkward to sing.
"America the Beautiful" is a lovely song and is actually about the United States!! Not just the darn flag!! Who’s with me!?!? Write your congressperson!!
When you study with the Jehovah’s Witness, you agree to attend five meetings a week where you are taught from Watchtower literature. You cannot be baptized until you have studied their material for at least six months and have answered numerous questions before a panel of elders. Men are not supposed have long hair or wear beards and women are to dress in modest apparel. They refuse to vote, salute the flag, sing the "Star Spangled Banner, celebrate birthdays or Christmas, won’t take blood transfusions, and they can’t join the armed forces. A schedule of door-to-door canvassing is required where you distribute the Watchtower literature, acquire donations, and forward all monies to the headquarters in Brooklyn, New York.
If you ever leave the Jehovah’s Witness organization, you are considered an apostate and are to be shunned.
does anyone notice that the Jw are trying to say that all religons are cults and in effect there is no such thing as organised religon? The Jw are the only ones who can’t accept they are a cult.
