Message | A4 is basically brain-washing our children, our country isnt perfect and the whole universe does not turn around it. Children shouldnt be forced to show respect to a brain-washing piece of music. We havent got an anthem because its pointless, plus everybody has a different style and listens to different kinds of music. A5,A6,A7 are acceptable. |
