are you patriotic towards your country? Do you get hard when you heard you national anthem? Do you start to cry when you think of your fine nation? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not at all. I love my countries landscape... but that's about it. Oh I love our mounties... and I really like all the national parks reservations and stuff. There's a lot of strick laws in wildlife parks and stuff. It's awesome. Other then that... im not "proud" to be Canadian.. Im proud when I do good on aan exam.. or reach a goal or something. Not of my nationality. I think that's ridiculous. |
||||||||

|
|
nope, i wonder how many americans will say yes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why would you be proud to be Canadian anyway -- you're from the Vatican. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
hm.. im not sure.. hm hm hmmm |

you could have defeated my facetiousness by claiming to be a Canadian High Bishop. |
||||||||
|

bishop's can't get high |

When there's something special going on I would of course support my own country but normally I don't give a fuck. |

Nice scenery in Wales and the people are the friendliest I've met. I don't like my country politics wise (talking about the UK in general), too many bleeding heart liberals. I'd rather live under a totalitarian regime where you got rewarded more for your work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'of course'? please eXpound. Why specifically would you support this country? Out of loyalty because that's where your mother happened to spread her legs and fart you out? Or because you love your country? That's why I started this thread... to find out WHY people are either patriotic/non-patriotic. |

In no way proud to be belgian or so. I don' t give a damn about regional pride. If I would be born 20 miles from where I was born I would be patriotic to some other country, don't see the use. |

high? getting high in Vatican city? with the holy goats... |
||||||||
|
|

I guess I am patriotic. |

when I am in spain I care a shit about my country and my flag... I just dont care... I was born here but could have been anywhere else... I would never fight for my country. but strangely when I am overseas... I tend to feel proud of being spanish (which I think is a stupid feeling) |

Wales is a shithole full of wankers but I love it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's not stupid at all - it's the invisible line between you and that country you've known all your life. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not at all. i like living in england, i love some aspects of the culture and the scenary can be wonderful. but i hate the government that run this country. i hate the americanisation of this country. and i hate the fact that english/british people are despised the world over because of what they have done in the past to other nations. i am ashamed to be english when i am abroad. |

I was saying to my parents when I went home to Wales at the weekend, "The Welsh may be: thick, lazy and poor, but at least they're: human, polite and friendly. Not like the people I meet in Bristol..." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sure am. im a lucky guy to be here |
||||||||

No. This country sucks. As opposed to my last two posts in another two topics. I'm not joking. This country licks balls. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
zion? yeah i heard that place was shit. all kinds of insane jungle raves going on all the time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's only becuase they won't let my fly the ships that I hate it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
huh? remember i don't speak zionese |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no... i see no reason at all to be proud of my country (it is france if you want to know), since i haven't chosen it and i don't do much for it anyway! : ) but with all that anti-french feeling spread among americans, i'm starting to like it... maybe weirdly, because we're hated i like it... ^^ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
though i don't like the government at all - and they even made a stupid anti-freedom law which makes the fact of disgrading, or making fun of, the french flag or hymn, a crime... now that's a fascist-like law. that sucks. (and i don't like the hymn either.) |
||||||||

see how complicated patriotism is -- you might think "I'm not patriotic" but then suddenly your country comes under attack and your patriotism is unearthed! |
||||||||

What is there to be proud of in the England of today? I'm really struggling to come up with any valid reasons. help me out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
isn't weed partially legal? that would be reason enough for me. |
||||||||

No. Just declassified from class b to class c. I'm not sure it's even come in to effect yet either. |

i've just got back from vietnam one girl i met had had her head smashed against a wall the previous night by ...an englishman. another girl i was talking with was grabbed and pushed against the pool table and groped by a drunk... Englishman, whilst i was there . The most annoying bastard i met on my 2 months of travels was the guy behind me who said "excuse me , but what queue are you ACTUALLY in ?" as he attempted to speed up his entirely inconsequential existence another notch for the benefit of absolutely no-one in the place he was attempting to rush ...to. that was at... st pancras station, london. yes, england is a land of dull drudgery, little happiness or joy, very little sociability or solidarity, where men act like children in order to take holiday from themselves. i'm not unhappy to say i'm from england, but i am annoyed at actually being here sometimes. i do love football though, britains finest export. along with the colonialism and slavery, that is. |

I don't know; snotty arrogance, idiocy, fantastic resource wastage through beauracracy, racism (I know people say the Welsh take the piss out of the English, but in reality it happens far more the other way around...), oh and they elected 14 bnp councillors as well as a slew of labour ones... *claps in slow mocking fashion* Even the great anglo saxxon decency of days gone by is on the decline. |

Being patriotic is not something I think of really. I'm English born, but live in Wales....and when we go to the ice hockey, they play the welsh national anthem..but I guess it would just be rude to not stand up with everyone else. |
||||||||
|

marlowe > i also wear glasses, and i'm not proud of it at all (i don't like wearing glasses either), but if you attack people who wear glasses i'll sure feel attacked, try to strike back and claim the right to wear glasses - just because i wouldn't want to give you right to attack people who wears glasses! same thing with french people. i don't like france especially, but i don't like people attacking it either : ) |
||||||||
|

like i said, it makes you ashamed to be english. why are there so many twats from this country? i'm sure its not the same in other pleasant tolerant countries. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh trust me, there are plenty of dumbass people here in the states. im one of them! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You're right Ceri. The English do take the piss more. But that's only becuase you're all too busy shagging sheep to care much. ;P Sorry mate. I couldn't resist. I know that the welsh don't shag sheep. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes.... Ever hear of Bloodyfist records? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehehee :P I'm a patriotic Aussie! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think there's always a certain underlying feeling of pride for your own country....I was referring to for example a football match. You can disagree with the politics of a country but you'll probably support your natrional football team, won't you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah but if thats the only affiliation you can feel with your compatriats then its a bit lame really. i get even more ashamed of my country when the nobhead supporters go and smash up some perfectly nice town in germany/france/spain etc. etc. i bet theres no trouble from the scots tonight in spain though..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thats a good way of putting it.....I don't really show a great interest in the politics of this country in the slightest. Are there any of you who are that patriotic, that (like a few months back) would be prepared to fight for your country? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, patriotism isnt something i think about... im not proud of america in its current form, no... but i am very proud of some of the things this country has accomplished as a whole. if you step back and really give it a discriminating look over... there are alot of great things to come out of this country... for every right there is a wrong, its true... i can't help feeling some pride when i look back in time at some things people did just so i could be here and have the kinda of conveniences i do... i dont think many people nowadays care about the future, so yeah... im proud of that aspect of things. |

i hate the British National anthem. I'm Scottish but I don`t feel part of Britain. But the Scottish National anthem is a complete dirge aswell. I like the French one, thats quite a rousing tune. And the German anthem has some funky vibes goin on |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Im a bit patriotic yeah , especialy around world cups. And to my surprice i often find myself glorifying and defending my country HERE , i really should chill a bit hehe. I have trouble seeing myself living in another country. Of course theres alot of things i hate about sweden too , especialy the right wing politics and americanisation that is infecting our society lately. Some things are starting to go down the toilet and in 20 years i will be saying "I told you so!" But still.... Go sweden! |
||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
