Uh, 19. Does it count hours where a tab is just there, not being used?

Have to refresh it every so often. Not sure of the exact amount of time where it stops counting, but it's probably close to a half hour.

15... I feel it's odd that that's the amount I have. I'm on-site constantly. And refreshing.

After 15 minutes you fall off the Who's Online list.

[SlowPokemon]

That reminds me

Now that I'm subbing in elementary schools and whatnot I'm kind of really pissed that "under god" is still in the pledge of allegiance

[mastersuperfan]

Seconded, and I'm so glad we don't have to do the pledge of allegiance in high school anymore

[Pianist Da Sootopolis]

Thanks, communism.

Why should that be changed? Does it matter a whole lot? The most recent lyrics are nearly 63 years old and I don't think anyone's planning on changing them. Back then, at the time it was written, the concentration of Christians in America was higher, so the worship of God was a norm for nearly everyone.

If you don't want to say the pledge, or if you want to be an atheist, that's completely fine. I'm just saying America isn't going to remove 2 words from its pledge for those who take them way too seriously. Those 2 words aren't there to force religion on innocent kids.

But the only reason the "under God" exists is to spite the USSR, not because the country was religious at the time. That's kind of disgusting, no matter what you belive.
