Patriotism

[Sindre1]

I am proud to be Norwegian becose.....we kick ass?
I honestly dont know....But I AM proud!

Oh, just remembered. We where first to reach the north-pole AND the south-pole. And apperantly America too. Vikings and shit.
Oh, and Edvard Munch and Edvard Grieg and Funcom
And all our traditions. Will not mention all of them.
And the nature, and our flag, and our natonal anthems
And 17. of may!!! ^^

Ahem... actually it was us Icelanders that were the first Europeans to reach America.

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

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.

*Facepalm* Yes you where. Before becoming an independent country.
The first people to travel to Iceland where vikings from Norway.
Then after a while some of them decided to stay, and Iceland was born!
Well, apperantly some Irish monks came first, but they left again.

Dont know about that killing royalties thing. Or why you brought it up.

The people coming from Norway were Chiefs that were leaving Norway because of the king (can't remember his name) that was uniting Norway. The chiefs that left Norway never acknowledged him as their king so when in the new country they were independent from him ergo not part of Norway.

Also the killing part: Patriotism.

I see. Well you where still under us from 1262 to 1918.

Patriotism is about loving your own country, not hating (or killing members of) another one.

Wow, i feel more embarrased to be norwegian than anything else.
Its a great county to live in, but we don't GIVE nearly as much as i'd like to.
(Yes, i am a "communist", thank you- and f*ck off.)

Im all for communism. SV!

But really dont see how Norway can be more emberasing than some other countries I will not mention. We give more then most contries (in % anyway).

In % of what?

What we earn, what we have?
Does'nt change the fact that we could give much more. But yarrr' im glad you'r on my side atleast

Agreed, we could give alot more. So could alot of contries. Someone has to start I guess.

But my point is that there is no reason to be more emberased by Norway then by any other rich countries.
I guess you give Norway critic becose you live here, and its an easier place to start.

Lets make a Norway thread, so we dont piss off people.

We went under danish rule at the same time you did (don't really remember which year exactly ) and we didn't kill you out of patriotism I mentioned the killing out of patriotism.

I'm glad to be an american, not proud. Pride just blinds us, and ends up devideing people.
But I am proud to be human.

 

[Lucia di Lammermore]

I personally shit red, white, and blue bald eagles while saluting the american flag and singing the national anthem. XD

Just kidding! Actually, people who do this annoy me, a lot. Especially when they're teachers. I actually had a teacher say that "America has the world's best system of government." Um, no, it actually doesn't. for instance, I have yet to meet someone who thought the electoral college was a good idea. And we take entirly too long to elect someone.

Leif Eirikson born in Iceland, son of Eirik Raude (Eric the Red) and Tjordhil - Norwegians
Lets just say it's a mix

 

[Kogarian]

I'm not proud to be American, as I've never did anything as an individual to make myself proud. Why do you feel good about what other people who lived a long time before you did?

His whole crew was born in Iceland. The man that discovered America and TOLD Leif where it was was Icelandic and his crew was also Icelandic.

Sorry to anyone if I seem hostile about this I'm really not.

 

[Dyloss]

I for one is not proud of being Norwegian, I am proud of what some fellow Norwegians have done.
I like living here, but I'm really getting tired of right-wing conservatives - it's sort of growing in Norway.
As other Norwegians have mentioned earlier; we could, we should do more to help others less fortunate.
I know it is a somewhat cliché, but it's just my humanistic ways.
I really don't see a reason for being nationalistic, there is not much to be proud of, except for good fortune.
Fortune is not really something to be proud of either.

Well just my pennies.

Doesn't matter, I just meant that Leif was practically Norwegian, and since Leif is often credited the discovery of America thus a mix. But I don't really care, we all know Leif wasn't the first to go there. No worries, I don't find you hostile.

 

[Shapsters]

I'm very proud to be Canadian! Even though we are a punching bag for stereotypes. Go Canada!

 

[neuromasser]

I wouldn't call myself a patriot, but I like the fact that I was born in Serbia. There are some things that make me feel good about living here, but most of the time it sucks :/ Aside from that, I despise human race, so that kind of ruins the idea of patriotism somehow

 

[MelziGurl]

I'm proud to be an Aussie. I live in QLD though, so I don't think I would be wrong to say that more pride goes into State of Origin than anything else.

 

[iggyus]

I'm proud to Serbian cause even if we are the biggest assholes of the Balkan Peninsula we are still proud and stand straight.

The Danish started ruling you the same time they started ruling us.
Then when they "let us go" they "forgot" to give Iceland back to us. Or was that Greenland? Or both maybe.

Now lets stop this. This is not what this thread is about.

 

[Pezzer]

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