I dont really like nations at all... dont like nationalism or patriotism at all, they're so narrow minded - in my opinion.
Patriotics make me think of people keeping conspiracies in the dark

Ceri,
'totalitarian regime' wo thats a bit extreme. I don't want a totalitarian regime, just a few old values need to be brought back like cadet training and corporal punishment in schools, that'll sort things out. Sure there are plenty of 'want something for nothing people' in the UK which is boring but thats mainly because they're eaten up with jealously so really thats their own punishment.

lizardfister,
Get real. What a load of bull. We made the world. The only reason you've got to be ashamed about being English is the bloody football hooligans and plebs who get pissed and fight abroad.

Some words from the Emerald Isle... the e-generation, as far as i can see, is much less patriotic than how i remeber things being in the 80´s.... and jolly fucking good it is now too.
by the way, i dedest irish pub culture abroad anyway. I think its fucking awfull hearing of freinds just hanging around irish pubs when visiting Oz, England, the States... sad bastards

Only sports-wise... I cried when Canada won the hockey Gold in 2002, and almost blew my load when Anson Carter scored against Sweden a couple weeks ago.
Otherwise, nah, not really... although I'm always quick to point out how great my country is in general. We rule.

erm yeah thats what i said.
fighting abroad is, how you said, "made the world". we went over killed and maimed and forced countries to be subordinate to us and held them back from their own potential. i disagree that we made the world. we helped shape and modernise the world by introducing inventions, industry, farming etc. etc. but we also created a colony mentality that that is now so outmoded it is going to ostracise us from the rest of the world (along with america). we can't continue to tell nations to do what we want as we are not the power we were.
i am ashamed because of the way we are conceived around the globe as being these colonial bastards due to the way our government and tourists act. they are our ambassabors - and they are poor in the extreme.

I support the people I care about, and people who I think are good. I don't give a fuck about national pride. I just want to live a happy life and I will kill to make sure I am happy :D

yes I am, a bit... not crazy like some Americans, but I am definitely proud to be Canadian... what can I say, I love my country... I don't love everything about it... the government sucks, the weather sucks (Newfoundland in particular), and the exchange rate sucks... but still, the good outways the bad in my opinion... I just feel great about being Canadian...
do I care much about our anthem or flag? No... actually I think both suck... but I think it's kind of stupid to put so much importance into those things... I love my country because it's beautiful, the people are great, and I like our overall philosophy (to a certain extent), not because of our flag or anthem...

I like the natural beauty of this country.
I'd die for freedom, not America - the land where you're free to do as you're told.

1. I don't support a strong central government 2. I don't support social programs 3. I don't support the military 4. I don't support anyone that I have no reason to support.
5. I think the USA should just drop the name down to "America", much easier and less cheesey sounding.
6. No, I am not patriotic.
