Fuck the national anthem.

Wow! I guess negativism about people's countries happens all over the world lol.

So not to start the topic of Canada again lol but so far Canada and France do, and US, England, and Gernany don't.

i can't read most of the foreign language in Angelika's post so i really have no clue what her last post says or which country she is refering too. Angelika, can you put it in English for those of us who aren't bi-lingual.

Are you referring to this? http://www.collarchat.com/fb.asp?m=3093185

Actually, you would need to be quadrilingual or simply know what country in the world has 4 official languages which are clearly stated there: German, Romansh, French and Italian. Care to take a guess?

Just checked and Canada's national anthem does mention Canada in a couple areas in that song.

Well, considering it's called "Oh Canada", yeah...... :p

But the first (French) version of Oh Canada was this:

Oh, Canada, land of our forefathers.
Your brow is wreathed with a glorious garland of flowers.
As your arm is ready to wield the sword, it's also ready to carry the cross.
Your history is an epic of brilliant exploits, your valor steeped in faith.
We will protect our homes, and our rights.

(It's a heck of a lot better, with no grandstanding or going on and on about jebus and god(s).....)

Belize National Anthem Lyrics

Belize

O. Land of the Free by the Carib Sea,
Our manhood we pledge to thy liberty!
No tyrants here linger, despots must flee
This tranquil haven of democracy
The blood of our sires which hallows the sod,
Brought freedom from slavery oppression's rod,
By the might of truth and the grace of God,
No longer shall we be hewers of wood.

Arise! ye sons of the Baymen's clan,
Put on your armour, clear the land!
Drive back the tyrants, let despots flee -
Land of the Free by the Carib Sea!

Nature has blessed thee with wealth untold,
O'er mountains and valleys where prairies roll;
Our fathers, the Baymen, valiant and bold
Drove back the invader; this heritage hold
From proud Rio Hondo to old Sarstoon,
Through coral isle, over blue lagoon;
Keep watch with the angels, the stars and moon;
For freedom comes tomorrow's noon.

National Anthem of Mexico

Mexicanos, al grito de guerra
El acero aprestad y el bridón;
y retiemble en sus centros la tierra
Al sonoro rugir del cañón.

Ciña oh patria!tus sienes
de olivaDe la Paz el arcángel divino,
Que en el cielo tu eterno destino
Por el dedo de Dios se escribió.

Más si osare un extraño enemigo
Profanar con su planta tu suelo,
Piensa, oh patria querida ,que el cielo
Un soldado en cada hijo te dio.
Guerra, guerra sin tregua al que intente
De la patria manchar los blasones!
Guerra, guerra! Los patrios pendones
En las olas de sangre empapad.

Guerra, guerra! En el monte, en el valle
Los cañones horrísonos truenen

Y los ecos sonoros resuenen
Con las voces de
Unión!
Libertad!

Antes, patria, que inermes tus hijos
Bajo el yugo su cuello dobleguen,
Tus campiñas con sangre se rieguen,
Sobre sangre se estampe su pie.

Y tus templos, palacios y torres
Se derrumben con hórrido estruendo,
Y sus ruinas existan diciendo:
De mil héroes
la patria aquí fue.
Coro

Patria! patria!
Tus hijos te juran
Exhalar en tus aras su aliento,
Si el clarín con su bélico acento
Los convoca a lidiar con valor.

Para ti las guirnaldas de oliva!
Un recuerdo para ellos de gloria!
Un laurel para ti de victoria!
Un sepulcro para ellos de honor!

Mexicanos, al grito de guerra
El acero aprestad y el bridón;
y retiemble en sus centros la tierra
Al sonoro rugir del cañón.

Jeffff, you know this a huge source of contention between us. In that I have always hated the people of Belize.

Wow! I guess negativism about people's countries happens all over the world lol.

You don't understand me: I stand against nationalism of all kind, and flags, national anthems, and other assorted accessories of bullshit nation loving crap all go into the same bag. It's nothing against you, baby: it's against the ideology.

No Angelika, As the OP, i asked a specific question and was interested in the responses to the actual OP. I actually expected this because it seems MOST threads of late have no hope of remaining as to the OP. So its no biggy, but so no, i don't care to "go with the flow" -- the tangent this thread has gone has no interest for me and is not what i asked -- which is why i said have fun.
