Why didnt he wish death on the British in the song? I can't answer how a slave feels or thinks and neither can you. But we can both suggest that living is better then dying, they just did what they told, the thrill to kill, or they thought of themselves more as bondservant then slave. In war it is understood that you wish death to your enemies. Do you know which war was being fought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jv_coach Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 The Star Spangled Banner lyrics "the hireling " refers to the British use of Mercenaries (German Hessians) in the American War of Independence so the British used mercenaries and slaves to fight against America.

One thing I learned a long time ago, if you constantly have to reassure people of something, or if you constantly are passive aggressively demeaning others by making yourself look superior to others (i.e. "I'm an RN, you probably don't even have a high school diploma, so therefore I am right and you are wrong, na na na na boo boo stick your head in doo doo."), then odds are what you are saying to people is completely made up. It's either that or there are some deep rooted self esteem issues that are trying to be compensated for. I personally don't care if someone has multiple doctorate degrees or an 8th grade education and a job as a port a can tester, either you can hold a meaningful debate or conversation or you cannot. baddog and LumRaiderFan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to define hireling. You seem to be the only who doesn't know what it is. My guess is that Mr. Keyes was upset about ANYONE who chose to fight against this country.

bullets13 Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 I posted a longer winded version of this on another thread, but here's my take on this: if your manner of protest angers the audience you're trying to reach to the point that they care nothing about what you're trying to say, you've accomplished nothing. The discussion no longer has anything to do with police brutality, or mistreatment of African Americans, and now centers wholly around kneeling for the anthem. I think it's safe to say no progress has been made through these protests, and if anything they've driven the two sides further apart on the issue. jv_coach and Englebert 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kountzer Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 I remember when TV used to end. That was a long time ago, timewise and culturally speaking. We only had kfdm channel 6, channel 4 and channel 12 what ever it's call sign was. Cutting edge were the uhf channels. Then we got the color tv which was 4 ft wide and 2.5 feet deep, or so it seems now. My friends had cable tv. They used to tell me about comedy shows I'd never heard of. The idea of paying to watch cable tv was anathema to my parents. I didn't start watching cable until I was 30 years old and married. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFDM....Channel 6....CBS KBMT....Channel 12....ABC KPRT/KJAC.....Channel 4....NBC Not bragging. Had the first color TV on the block. All the neighborhood kids came over for Saturday morning cartoons. Only other color shows were Wonderful World of Disney, Saturday Night at the Movies, Bonanza. First show to air on Saturday Night at the Movies was Snows of Kilamanjaro with Susan Hayward and her beautiful red hair. Everything was rabbit ears and tin foil. Human beings are good antennas. Sometimes all one had to do was touch the tv antenna. That's enough for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
