Guest guest Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 Well, if I drink any " commercial soda " (as opposed to the little natural brands) I drink Coke ;-p But to head off any major quarrels over such things I'll say this .. political correctness is a bit over the top nowadays and anyone who gets offended by the words " Under God " needs to get a little tougher skin and get over it .. but at the same time .. the original pledge never had the words " Under God " in it - that was added in the 50's, so its not like saying it without those words really is saying it improperly, and they need to relax, and get over it .. so I just don't think anyone should be offended either way ... Now, have a Coke and a smile (even though it rots yer teeth *lol* *Smile* Chris (list mom - who was out of internet yesterday and power for a while today ) http://www.alittleolfactory.com cab7096 [cab7096] Friday, August 22, 2003 8:50 PM Re: Pepsi > Don't Buy Pepsi In The New Can. > Pepsi has a new " patrotic " can coming out with > pictures of the Empire State Building and the " Pledge > of Allegiance on them.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 Funny, but until 1954 those words were not part of the Pledge. The Pledge waw originally written by a Baptist minister in August 1892. He was a Christian Socialist. There have been only two changes to the Pledge The first change was in 1923 and 1924 when the DAR wanted " My Flag " changed to " the Flag of the United States of America. " Very sad that we Americans have lost the true sight. We inflict what one interest group wants over all peoples. We all do not believe the same, nor should we. The US was founded on religious freedom. What happened to that. BTW I happen to LOVE my country and my way of life. I am also retired military.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 Chris, I don't guess it matters one way or another whether we are offended or not. Or a matter of whether it's politically correct or not. If we were offended by every thing that large companies do we would live our life offended. I guess the one thing I do resent is that they insult our intelligence by saying that they don't want to offend anyone. Did they honestly think that there are those that won't be offended by them leaving it off. Sounds like giberish to me. I just plain don't care but think it very amusing. *grin* I like to pick my battles and this one just isn't worth fighting.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 Hi Evelyn Yep, I totally agree with ya. As they say - by trying to please EVERYBODY we invariably end up pleasing nobody, and get a bland world too And I love that we all have open minds and different opinions - just as long as folks' minds aren't so open that their brains fall out (and to be honest, that seems like an epidemic these days, no matter what the slant is As you know, from being on this list for some time - I don't mind the Pepsi post one little bit (or the response(s) to it) - and anyone who does .. needs to get tougher skin and get over it ... I think its good to express our feelings and personalities (as long as we aren't mean or flaming folks) And I still drink Coke, so in the end it doesn't affect me anyway ;-p Have a great weekend folks! And as Butch would say " Y'all Keep Smiling " *Smile* Chris (list mom - so, did I please everybody, or nobody? *lol* http://www.alittleolfactory.com Evelyn [edandevmil] Friday, August 22, 2003 9:41 PM Re: Pepsi Chris, I don't guess it matters one way or another whether we are offended or not.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 Chris, Quite honestly, I buy which ever is on sale. I like to save the few extra dollars to buy oils, herbs, etc. Words either on or off, in or out are just that words. Whatever you believe in your heart is what will dictate your life. I just want to love everybody and respect all. Although, sometimes I think my brains are in danger of falling out.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 True Too bad the beauracratic machine does not see it that way. LOL I have about 50 cases total of both kinds. They'll all be gone next week when all my " kids " will be here. My boys will be home from Iraq next week and the whole family get together here at the house. Just found out last night that they will be coming home and I am ecstatic. Poor neighbor from hell is going to flip when he sees all the people coming in. hehehe Last time everyone came at the same time was when we moved in and he freaked and called the cops.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 Dear Everyone: I *must* put my two cents in regarding the Pepsi question. Mostly from a health viewpoint, but, also, addressing the " Under God " question. Please read the ingredients of Pepsi and Coke. Soft drinks are one of the WORST insults you can do to your body. You are basically drinking a chemical broth with them. Rotting your teeth is only the beginning. Soft drinks wear down the kidneys, congest the liver (because the liver has to detox your body from all the *rap in the drink), leeches calcium from bone so it's the very worst thing for any woman concerned w/osteoporosis (and, unfortunately, we all must be concerned w/it), aggravates all inflammatory conditions of the bowel, skin, and joints, is loaded w/sugar which therefore contributes to our national disgrace regarding the rates of Adult Onset Diabetes and obesity. If you drink the sugar-free it's worse, as, the aspartame has devastating effects on the nervous system, which I'd be very happy to go into in another post, if y'all (if I may, Butch!) are interested. As far as Pepsi using the " Under God " or not: They should be embarrassed for their transparency in trying to capitalize on peoples' patriotism. It is merely an advertising ploy. They are shamelessly exploiting our increased national consciousness and fear of terrorism-how *low* is that? Pretty darned low. Don't you think if they had a *shred* of patriotism they'd be producing a product that INCREASED the health of the population of the US, rather that sapping it away, and increasing health care costs, and, causing much misery over damaged health? And, now, I have to go bake a cake! My family is coming over for dinner later! Off the *soapbox* for now, Rebecca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 Too true! Too true, and worse yet, my husband drinks Mountain Dew - that stuff has even more bad stuff in it than Coke. I refuse to let me 3 yr old drink soda .. closest he gets to it is some juice (and we only do 100% juice - or homemade juice) and a little shot of sparkling mineral water. Usually I don't even drink Coke (its the rare occasion that I have a commercial soft drink). I get stuff like the Reed's all natural Ginger Brew .. or my favorite beverage of all ... WATER! Lately though my drink of choice aside from water has been .. lactation tea *lol* Thank you for the soda info Rebecca Please, so send whatever info on aspartame that you want. Since its introduction I never went near the stuff. It is REALLY bad news I hope the family supper turns out great! *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please read the ingredients of Pepsi and Coke.
