It may be childish, but I won't stand for the national anthem if I have a choice about it (my parents usually make me at my brother's basketball games). Once the country regains my respect ie pulls itself out of the decline that in my opinion it's in, I'll stand with pride. Till then, no way. It's my small way of saying that I'm not one of the mindless masses that jump to attention everytime someone starts in with"oh say can you see..." I firmly believe a lot of the patriot stuff is just conditioning.
