If you choose this topic, please look up what the charge of 'piracy' means. This can be done using Google, or another search engine.

2) Politically Correct Language in National Anthems

Read this one first:

Read this one second:
http://www.cbc.ca/day6/blog/2013/10/03/listed-five-politically-incorrect-national-anthems/

Should the anthem be changed? Is the Canadian anthem as bad as the anthems in the second article? Are there any things about your national anthem that could be offensive? How important is it that a country has a proper national anthem? Do we need them anymore? Is this an unimportant issue that should not be discussed?

At this time, there seems to be a tie. So, I flipped a coin. Polar bear was two and the Queen was one. The Queen took the competition. So, we will be talking about GreenPeace!
