Do you put your hand over your heart? Does it anger you to see those who don't?

Saw several at a baseball game today who did not, and it fricking pissed me off. Get the frick out of my country!

I put my hand over my heart, but what really gets me is people who don't take their hats off.

Eta: Tino got to it first.

What bothers me is men that don't take their hats off and people that don't stand. You don't have to put your hand on your heart to show respect (but I do).

I hold my hand over my heart. I don't let it get me angry when someone doesn't.

Yes I do, and no. The only thing that angers me is when people talk and continue holding side conversations during the national anthem. I'm not asking you to sing along or anything. Just shut your freaking mouth for one minute then your shitty conversations can continue on

Eh, it's America. It's kind of our own fault.

Do you stand for the national anthem when you are watching a sporting event at a bar(ex:today's World Cup match)?

I put my hand over my heart.

If I have a hat on, I take it off.

It doesn't piss me off when others don't, but it does kind of disgust me.

I'll never forget going to the LSU / Auburn game after 9/11. The rescheduled game/win and we go to the SECCG. Seemed like the whole crowd sang the national anthem at the top of their lungs. Very moving to see that many folks wear their patriotism on their sleeves, but like someone once said, folks died to give folks the right to leave their hats on.

It disgusts me, but they do have that right. I'd rather be disgusted by the acts of others than live in a country that threw folks in jail for "noncompliance."

Part of that whole freedom thingy is being able to do stuff like that...

I don't. Was taught to take my hat off and stand at attention. The hand over heart thing is some new age crap.

Question, when you are at home, do you still stand and honor the flag as if you were at the sporting event live. I just thought about this, but I've never actually stood in silence while watching my tv screen. Most times I take it as a chance for a final bathroom break before the game starts.

No. I don't even stand. It's just a song.
