Thread: Are you proud of your country?

Some say that you should have pride in your country, others say it's ridiculous because you never chose which country you were born in/live in.

I'm half and half. I am proud of my country, in the sense that being Canadian is part of who I am and I should be proud of myself (to a degree). On the other hand, I would be just as proud as if I were born in another country, so really it shouldn't matter much.
