interest in such things.

Just as well, the UK has no medals! :P It's actually pretty
close at the top right now.

Nationalism is not stupid at all, as long as the world still
has borders. I have dual citizenship (USA and Ireland) -
it's kind of weird having loyalties to two countries.

sport is endorsed by governments desperate to keep a sense
of nationalism so that we the public are ready for war with
opposing factions!

how can u be proud of a big coloured blob on a map?

u just happened to be born within its borders...
and its borders were only created by the accidents of
history..
if a certain battle was one by the other side i could be an
american, or maybe french.

It just seemed like the best fit, even though it might be
mildly offensive to an Irish person. :)

It is very difficult to be proud of something as abstract as
a nation. I don't enjoy watching sport because the outcome
does not have any influence on my life.

Cheffe::I didn't do this one but there's a program called
GIF construction set that is really easy to use.

REFLEX::The canadian woman hockey team is kickin ass!!!
I read that in canada there is a law that says women sports
shall get as much sponsorship as male sports.

I don't know about medal count, I just like watching the
rediculous talents. Other than the Olympics, I'm not very
much into sports. Or countries, for that matter—But that's
more complicated.

I suppose I can slag my country/politicians off without
having to fear for my life which is something to be proud of
I guess, but I think the idea that you should be grateful
for that is absurd. It's wrong when you can't say those
things, it should be normal that you can.

I wonder whether we would actually be happier if the USA did
take over the world (it will one day I'm sure) and there
wasn't all this war and racism.
