Phanerothyme Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Regardless of what you think of the tune (see many other threads), do you rise automatically when you hear it, do make sure you're standing up before you hear it, or like me happen to be standing up when you hear it?

Nagel Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I can't even think of an event I have been to recently where the National Anthem has been played. I would probably stand when everyone else did as I don't have any well thought out objections to justify the act of sitting down through it.

Vague_Boy Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 do you rise automatically when you hear it, do make sure you're standing up before you hear it, or like me happen to be standing up when you hear it? Why would I stand for the national anthem? Unless I've been conditioned in some quasi-Pavlovian fashion. The queen's got enough cash to save herself, she doesn't need my help.

Long may she reign! Why what does she do May she defend our laws, that’s the governments job save the Queen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkey Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 i would never stand for that antiquated, red-neck dirge. If I was already standing when it came on, i would make a point of sitting down, or even better, leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
