Should the Virginia Slogan be changed from "Virginia is for Lovers"?

A Slogan can be defined as; a phrase used repeatedly, as in advertising or promotion. Maybe, instead of changing the slogan, try to influence the society to live up to what its claiming to represent.Instead of lowering the standards, rise to the standards.

It is not right.  I have heard people say that they have heard the anthem in many different "versions" meaning rap, country, rock, etc.  But they are simply avoiding the question.  The National Anthem should and must be song ONLY in English.  Don't let the media twist on "different versions" fool you.  Doesn't matter if it is in a different mode of music (country, rap, R&R) but a different language is not right.\n\nConsider this:  Anytime one language is translated into another there are some slight changes in the text. This means possible change in meaning of the words.  So, is it okay to therefore, change the words of our national anthem?

How about "NEAPOLITAN"\n(After the ice cream which has several layers of different colours and flavours)\nThis could represent the different views and opinions of all the contributors.It is also a play on your avatar name.

Its not that someone said it and hence it needs to be done. Who cares for anyone anyways. Its a must to emphasise a point but all the text written in bold is quite a strain on the eye so MOST PEOPLE feel UNCOMFORTABLE reading it.

It's a fine line.  A certain percentage has to be changed from the original to make it no longer under trademark laws and I don't think you've changed enough.

Please, quote (do you think we are encyclopedias?)!!!\n\nI think it's about the fear of loosing one's liberty in love.\nThe poet explains that it's not an issue (doubt is vaine), love doesn't mean a loss of liberty but another liberty (the one to bond).\nThe bird in its cage singing is a metaphor...\n\n\nNB: lxv is better in capitals since they are roman figures (LXV means 65)

The slogan 'time for a change' makes me nervous when it is not followed by what the change will be and how it will affect me.  Sometimes change for the sake of change can bring drastic results.\n\nSince I cannot do anything but vote I'll do that and hope for the best no matter who wins.

Education , Environment , National Unity , Patriotism , Family Planning, Female Foeticide , etc. are good topics for writing slogans !!!\nFor example, on Environment it can be " Each One, Plant One" !!!

Well, think of the consequences if they did. We'd be down to 49 states. We'd have to change our flag, our maps, our globes. There are tons of memorials that have 50 of a particular item to represent the 50 States. Plus, there's the issue of the Senators. Each state gets 2 Senators, so which two get to stay? Then there are the differences in state laws and all the residents, granted, neither is a heavily populated state, but they'd all have to get new licenses and new tags for their cars and voter registration...it would be a beauracratic nightmare. Don't even go there with North/South Carolina and West Virginia and regular Virginia...

The original pledge was "I pledge allegiance to my flag and the republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty, equality and justice for all." \n\nIn the original version, the flag does not belong to the nation; it belongs to each of us.\n\nThe revised language has the unfortunate effect of separating "us" from the flag. It makes the flag more distant, flying high above our public buildings or hovering in the corners of our classrooms. \n\n"My" is more intimate, more immediately meaningful and more likely to remind us that each of us has some ownership of our national ideals.\n\nWith or without "my," Americans never pledge allegiance to the flag alone. It is always a symbol for something else. The flag, my flag, your flag, stands for a particular form of government.\n\nI prefer the original version and it is the one I have taught my 5 year old son. In pledging allegiance to "my flag and the republic for which it stands", he is pledging allegiance to something personal, "his" country not "the" country.

I Suppose You Would Like To Make Our FLAG "BETTER" Too??\n\nWould You Like It "updated too to show what is going on"\n\nI DONT think it represents America better overall.

It's "b-a-n-a-n-a" and "v-u-l-g-a-r."\n\nHave some respect for the English language, will you?
