Blind devotion is a trait shown by many patriotic men and women that have been hailed over the centuries as heroes. To deny this is to insult the intentions of the men and women that have died in battle before you to maintain the liberties that you currently enjoy. Don't be a fucking pig. Have some respect!!
Screw your blindly devoted heroes -- screw them.
Give me any day an ethical, rational, self-critical hero over a blind devotee any day.
And, to label "blindly devoted" the people who died in battle before me to maintain the liberties that I currently enjoy is to reduce
them to something less than human. Don't be a mindless cog in a machine you cannot perceive. Have some respect!
And watch your language, too.
Blind devotion is what is given by those who hold their beliefs so strongly that dying to prove it would be a privellage, not a chore.
No. Blind devotion is the willingness to die for your beliefs if that's what your beliefs require, without really caring to understand why your beliefs require that of you.
Why do you think people put their neck on the line for their country? Because they believe that what they choose is right. If you believe it so strongly, the step up to the plate. If not, back away and admit defeat. It's as simple as that.
Take your pseudopatriotic prosyletizing elsewhere. I am unmoved. Once the liberty of nations is threatened by the increasingly tyrannical pro-round-Earth conspiracy, I'll give your suggestion some thought. Until then, wipe the foam away from your mouth and ease up on the criminally naive equivocations.
Or, as I suggested before, you can come over to my place and we'll have a fight to the death... if I win, the world is flat; if you win, it's round.
