Patriotism! ... and health care ...?

Post by guy07 » Mon Sep 07, 2009 11:04 pm

Lets face it, most of us are happy to live in the country that we do. And hell, why not? We're all still alive, right? But when it gets to a point when you block out the rest of the world and only focus on your own country, is that really healthy? Do most of us not do that right now? Why bother putting our nations flags everywhere when we know what country we're in.
It's late and I'm really tired, so I'm just going to ask this: Are you patriotic? If so, how patriotic are you?
Feel free to post any ideas related to plus sides or minus sides of patriotism because I'm too tired. Maybe I'll edit this tomorrow ... lol.


Annndd .... FIGHT!

I don't know anything about patriotism; I don't consider myself patriotic. What I do know about is nationalism, and nationalism = worst shit evar.
The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…

That's what I'd expect from a filthy stinking communist.

Good thing I'm Italian. And Europe in general isn't in that condition.

That's actually a good example of what I'm talking about. People get so obsessed with their country and start thinking about how great it is, next thing you know they are claiming perfection and anybody who tries to change anything is a "filthy stinking communist."

And the next person that chants "U.S.A." get to see me go 1812 on your ass. :twisted:
