We were supposed to believe daily indoctrination jingoisms for the U.S. was still around in the 24th Century.other than "Spock's Brain" this was probably the stupidest TOS episode.
>>198577730>Why would Kirk have memorized the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance?maybe its like a repeating fractal or something, it appears again and again simply by nature
>>198577730Because he found the history of the place he was born interesting.
>>198578248the episode (omega glory) has amazing coincidences that are left unexplained
Every planet in the universe belongs to america
Meanwhile picard> NOOOO THESE HANDFUL OF ALIENS MAY BELIEVE IN THE SUPERNATURAL NOOO I MUST MAKE SURE THEY'RE ATHEISTS!!
>>198577730>OP has a problem with classic trekYOU WILL NOT SPEAK IT!
>>198577730The pledge of allegiance was created to bind Americans together regardless of what shithole Euro nation they orginated from. People seem to forget that the wipipo in Murrica' all came from nations that had their own languages and cultures, and often warred with each other. The pledge was intended to make people realize that they were to cast away their old world Euro trash bullshit and assimilate as an American.This is something that shitskins don't seem to understand.
>>198578478to what episode are you referring? because if it's "who watches the watchers" you're wrong
Because it's the Preamble to the US Constitution, not the Pledge of Allegiance.
>>198578506And that's why schoolchildren have to recite it daily for 12 years in the day prisons they are legally required to attend.
>>198577730People still know the magna carta and Hammurabi's code centuries after it was relevant. Turns out that pivotal legal documents throughout history are important, even if you dislike them... retard.
>>198578681Quote the Magna Carta right now.
>>198578635>REEEEE standardized state education badPledge of allegiance is one of the least objectionable aspect of public schooling. Sorry if Euro schools don't start with a daily immigrant fellating session
>>198578743Kings can be... Le Bad!
>>198578529>Heh... You're le wrong!! Epic post anon
>>198578767thanks!
>>198578681the pledge of allegiance isn't a legal document, retard

>>198578478TOS is chock full of the "we've evolved beyond the need for gods" episodes snuck by the censors and the general public by being ostensibly written about pagan lowercase g gods. But everyone can read between the lines.
>>198578583>Preamble to the US Constitutionit's odd how much it sounds like the Pledge though isn't it?
>>198578305This planet is light years from Earth. And they had never been exposed to earth culture prior to Tracey's arrival on the Exeter. So how could they possibly possess an American flag and what appears to be a Christian bible? Spock suggests to Kirk that this could be an example of Hodgkins' Theory of Parrallel Planets. Hodgkins' theory proposed that common cultures and symbols could arise on different planets in the galaxy, even though far-removed from each other, and having had no contact. Hodgkins said this was due to the nature of duality.
