Patriotism

[Agent Larkin]

I'm not proud to be Irish because i associate patriotism with the IRA and UVF and the murders and troubles and the civil war and the war of independence. In fact i view all Irish history from Easter 1916 onwards as being a huge mistake.

We also gave the world Bono and for that I apoligise on behalf of Ireland.

 

[Agent Larkin]

I'm proud of being Irish. We gave the world some of the greatest writers in history and gave the gaming world Havok.

yes while thats true we are also responsible for Bono so maybe it balances out our greatness.

 

[Veylon]

I'm proud to be an American.

We gave the world personal computers and video games, the raison d'etre of this site. We put the beat down on the Evil Empires in World War II, and kept another in check during the Cold War. We've been the shining symbol of freedom and prosperity to the whole world, even if we haven't always lived up to it in practice.

I was born in Britain, and I like this country. But I don't like patriotism.

 

[Sparrow]

I'm proud to be English, as on the douche-factor of the entire world, we only rate about a 6/10. Most countries get about an 8.

(Yes, the douche-factor is actually my brain.)

We're only beaten by Belgium.

 

[Nmil-ek]

As much as I usualy hate patriotism/nationalism what the hell, Im proud to be scottish as we are so tough even our national flower kicked the vikings arses.

 

[JanatUrlich]

I dislike Patriotic people. It's not the country that makes you

 

[Chipperz]

I was born in Britain, I'm half Scottish, and love Ireland and Australia. I don't think that counts as patriotism, though...

 

[Abderian]

I am proud of being North Korean because of Glorious Leader.

Iceland was once part of Norway.
You are our children. We love you <3

 

[Quickening666]

I think patriotism is stupid in the extreme ergo I don't care about my nationality.

We were never a part of Norway we were two nations under one king. Besides long before that happened we had discovered America and also we had a habit of killing your royalties.

 

[ironmace2.0]

Why are you proud to be whatever nationality you are?
Personally I'm proud to be British because of some of the great people this country has made, like William Shakespeare, Isaac Newton, Richard the Lionheart and Winston Churchill.

Woooooh! Go Britian! Yeah like this guy im proud to be British and because well we kick ass.

 

[CosmicCommander]

I don't believe in Patriotism, I don't think it's logical to take pide in the achievments of others as your own.

 

[thiosk]

i like america.

I'm glad im not european, as your birthrates are so low that in 100 years the cultures will be essentially displaced by immigrating (and rapidly reproducing) folks from muslim societies. The germans have realized they'll be an islamic republic by the 2050s.

America isn't much better, we have about 2.11 children per couple, which is the bare minimum for sustaining a culture. NEED MORE IMMIGRATION HERE PEOPLE, LATINOS, COME ONE, COME ALL!

 

[Grimm91]

I am proud to be an American, maybe even moreso to make up for all of my self hating countrymen!

I hear you my brother.

and there was me thinking the english invented the computer

as for me im happy with the many many.......many accomplishments from scotland but i suppose im gonna have to go ahead and say the highland games. What other nation takes delight in picking up a telephone pole and chucking it in the air

 

[Hamster at Dawn]

I'm proud to be British! Because... because... let me get back to you on that one.

 

[NDBurke]

You know, come to think of it. I know I posted a whole Pro-Canadian rant in here earlier. But now I realize it's not so much being part of a country that I'm proud of, as being part of a culture.

And before anyone says anything, the two are very different.
