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. |

We killed thousands of Indians, yet we also killed thousands of Nazis. |

I meant to convey a point about our imperfect history as a nation. This and a bunch of other stuff conviently goes unmentioned when listing what we've done throughout our over-200-year history. |

Not that i'm american,but i find this song relevant to the topic. |
|
So apparently I'm the only proud patriot.. |
|
I'm half proud |
|
I put no, because things are so messed up in our country. We have strayed so far from our ideals, its hard to say I am proud about it. |
|
I support the advance of the human condition as a whole. |

I wouldn't say I was proud, but I certainly love the country I live in. For me its more a matter of culture, not nationality. I like English culture, I like footy at the pub on a sunday, I like full english breakfasts, and in general I like the people. In respect to the history of the nation, why should I be proud of that? I didn't do any of that, I wasn't even born. Foreign policy? It disgusts me. But like I said I love the people and the culture, and that's enough for me. |

I'm proud to be English! |

Were full of hillbillies, but we got the best pizza in the world. We impeached a president for lying about getting a blowjob, but not for committing war crimes; but we have the best colleges in the world. We have an extremely abusive military and no health coverage, but money to take holidays in other places. I'm half proud, but I will be cheering for England next summer though. |

I was pretty proud that we were able to rise above fear and petty prejudice (not least of all anti-intellectualism) in the last election. It let me be proud again of living in the first nation founded upon the basis of humanism, democracy and self-determination, by reawakening hope that the American Revolution still has some steam. We had an imperfect grasp of those principles from the start, and we've blundered considerably, but we also provided much of the inspiration for the people of the world to get out from under the thumbs of kings and tyrants. I suppose I'm not thrilled with our international behavior post-WWII, when we decided we're Team America World Police. |

If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama
I am proud to be Canadian. Taking pride in the nation itself, though, that's different. |

Starry starry night, paint your pallet blue and gray,
Look out on a summers day,
with eyes that know the darkness of my soul.
I thought Ninja lived in the US, until he brought up the colleges issue. |

As much as I hate to say it, I'm not proud of America right now. |

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
