Re: Do you stand up?
But you have been brainwashed to think that deliberate rudeness shows independent thinking, It doesn't, it means you are a part of a different, smaller group but you are still being conventionally unconventional.

Re: Do you stand up?
I'm struggling to think of an occasion where I was somewhere that actually played the national anthem now.
I'd stand though, even though I don't know it well enough to sing it. Unless it is one of those godawful sporting arena versions of it, it should only last a few minutes and then on you go.
It is what it is, far better just to keep quiet and stand for a few minutes, rather than risk getting into a barney about it.
It's America, FFS - you might get shot
Why bother? Prayer doesn't deserve respect.

Re: Do you stand up?
There are places, I'm sure, where not singing the national anthem might get you followed by a couple of good ol' boys who want a word.
This really isn't a country that is well set up for stirring the pot, sometimes. It's rather like playing a game of Operation. It's all well and good trying to go for the funnybone but sooner or later the bloke's nose will light up and it's game over

Re: Do you stand up?
My first visit to Six Flags Great America (15 minutes from our gaff
) - we arrived before opening and they played it then, you are correct. I was already standing at the time, though.
