There was time when just about everyone held this view.
Are you sure about that?
pretty sure.
Also we could say something similar about segregation, suffrage, etc. And I don’t know why I have to keep saying that.
yes I know, just because everyone believes something, doesn’t mean they are right.
JEDIT:
seriously?
Yes, seriously. What’s your source on it?
I don’t think I need one, It is pretty obvious. What do you think would have been the reaction if someone tried to protest during the National Anthem in the 1950s or during WWII? I think they would have stoned the protesters(not that I am saying that what should be done or that I would want to do that).
