Lunar Origins Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Are you a patriot to your own country? Or are you a patriot to another? Why are you patriotic, or why are you not? What's real patriotism, anyways? What about extremists? I'm intrigued to see what YCM has to say about this subject. (If you really know nothing about apart from what you've read or seen in movies about that country, it doesn't count. Not a single bit. I feel that you have to actually experience it in full before saying so.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Bad patriotism is where you act as if it's the best place in the world because of certain events. Then, acting as if you were involved in that. Good patriotism is just loving your country for what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDDRodrigo Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I'm not patrot, in fact I want to live somewhere else. I gotta admit living here is actually very good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yasu Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 For the most part I like the people, not the country. But everything is good to a degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Unclean One: VK Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I'm not a patriot. That would imply some Nationalism. Something that I have hatred for. I admit, the U.S is so far a great place to live. But it'll turn into a wasteland soon if it continues this path. Then I'll be heading to Canada or if I get some job experience and finish my time at community college, Finland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Unclean One: VK Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Of course, to help blend into the Canadian culture, I'll need to find a Canadian, and torture him or her for information.

Cin Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Not a fan of mine, debated moving to Belgium (but I fail at French, and don't feel like trying another language), or moving up to Scotland, coz it's prettier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mehmani Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Patriotism is deeply veiled bigotry. We do not choose where we are born. If I ever have a child, I'll make sure he's born in an unassuming place, like Belgium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilhorus Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 I love Ireland. Is it the best country? f*** no, and that's opinionated anyway. If I'd live anywhere it'd probably be Australia, Canada or US. idk why US, I've never been there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
