Plan to NOT buy Pepsi for a while

[PIBby]

I just got this e-mail . . .

 Don't buy new Pepsi can.

 Pepsi has a new "patriotic" can coming out with pictures of the Empire State Building and the Pledge of Allegiance on them. But, Pepsi left out two little words on the pledge, "Under God." Pepsi said they did not want to offend anyone. If this is true then we do not want to offend anyone at the Pepsi corporate office. If we do not buy any Pepsi product then they will not receive any of our money. Our money after all does have the words "Trust In God" on it.

*This will be the last topic I start for a while.

[Until I Dont]

I thought it said "In God We Trust"
:-P.

Not that it matters. I completely understand them not wanting to be offensive, but I think that it's stupid that they should stop there. The pledge has under God in it, so that is the way even young children are taught to say it. If the nation can go around offending everyone, there is no reason a company like Pepsi-cola can't get away with it. Besides, many people are against the pledge all together. What about offending them?

I would play along with this just because of the fact that they did something stupid and it does mention God on the money they plan to receive that these offendee's would be carrying around. Not so much because of the fact that it's snubbing God from mainstream life, if He is even there to begin with.

Stupid Pepsi. :|

I won't buy Pepsi, but that won't be hard since I'm a Coke drinker.

[PIBby]

People don't understand that America was founded and, like, claimed and stuff under God. But they need to, regardless of what the fuck they think.

When I do drink Cokes, I drink Coke. Not usually anything else.

"I didn't bring books for Literature. I didn't either, I just brought my note- I mean, I didn't bring my notebook. That's good. Yeah?"

[tricia]

LMAO...I wonder how many people will be offended that Under God was left off the can.

Those people will probably be much more vocal

[PIBby]

True. I didn't think of that.

I'm gonna go protest out in front of the Pepsi thing factory looking thing on Crittenden Drive.

I don't get how america is the land of the free and you can believe what you want and you have God on your notes? I just don't get it. lol

[sayyouwould]

WOW!! thats really queer. Fuck all you people who aren't going to buy the pepsi because of the god thing.....


This just in...people who lives...don't care what the can says unless it says" I hate fucking american". My god...some people really have no lives but to analyze this kind of shit.



people really piss me off. I'm moving to Canada where people don't care about this kind of stuff.

I do care. The majority of the people's beliefs shouldn't be put off or restricted because of a small percentage of other people's beliefs. And no, it shouldn't be considered a religious issue. America is the America it is because of settlers and pilgrims. And we've all heard the story of the pilgrims, right? So we all know why they moved to America from England or wherever the fuck they came from, eh? Okay. Taking out "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance is saying you're against something our "Forefathers" believed in, and if you're against one thing they say, you might as well be against everything they say. Regardless if you're an Atheist, Jew, Catholic, Christian, Muslim, whatever. If you're an American citizen you WILL like those two words in the Pledge of Allegiance, otherwise, you shouldn't be considered an American. WHy does everythig have to be changed, anyway?

PS It's principles, people! Principles!

[sayyouwould]

Well thats fine what you're saying cece. You have a reason not to go buy it if you feel that strongly about it and you can back up why you won't buy it but bottom line is...most people won't buy it and will make a big stink over it because they want to make money!! yes it's true!! Just like the oreo thing and the fast food thing. Yup. Most people here just want to make money and get their 15 minutes of fame. I think it's stupid.

[PIBby]

I get what you're saying. Okay. I'm not gonna try and get all wahooduh! about it, I'm just boycotting Pepsi for a bit.

[badsrx7]

Hell, I can't live without Diet Pepsi

and could care lessssssss about what's ON the can..

But.. that's just me

[Vultch]

Need help packing? I'll help escort you to to border.
You dont wanna be here. LEAVE or stfu.

All I drink is Mountain Dew which is a Pepsi product, but I dont think is following suit with its parent brand fortunantly.
I would stop buying Pepsi based off of that too. Who do they think they are removing a line that has been there for 200 years?

Seriously. And who do Pepsi think they are, removing words from the Pledge of Allegiance? I mean, that's like McDonald's removing lines from the Our Father or something (that'd be the day, lol).

Well, the motto of the USA is "In God We Trust." It should be on our money.

It's fairly clear that the US Goverment was founded on theistic principles. The code was drafed in the same era as the Constitution. There seemed to be no conflict at the time in regards to the motto. And all the religious language in the Consitution and the Declaration of Independence wouldn't fly today. And the authors are the same kind of people who wrote the Bill of Rights, including the first amendment. The intent of the first amendment, however, was to keep any one religion from being declared a state religion, like the Anglican church. It wasn't supposed to keep the state from acknowleging a deity.

And now since I forgot what I was trying to prove, I'll shut up.
