No, but I love norwegian nature. That's not the same.  
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

It's not perfect but it'll do. And I'm part of it; how can't it be great?

As with most of America I was very patriotic around 9/11 and slowly lost it as Bush has attempted to destroy 3 countries now Afganistan, Iraq, and America
 
but I love my home, my state, and most of what I've visited in this country as well.  We have our problems but their are some very good things here too.

I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm.....
 
No, but really, am proud of where I come from. But it's good pride, not bad pride.

I realize that there are far worse places I could be at the moment, but then again, there are also much better places as well. I for one would hate to live in a society were my leader claims that HIV doesn't cause AIDS, so he won't support the prevention of it. That's just plain ridiculous.

Just so you know, I am very glad that I have been fortunate enough to grow up healithy and to live comforably. I attribute this to the prosperity of the US. But at what price does this prosperity cost. How much damage have we done to the environment to make our economy what it is. Also, the US neglects whatever doesn't concern the well-being of its people. AIDS, Darfur, you name it, if it doesn't effect common citizens, then we don't care. I try to, but when no one else does, it's hard to see the point of caring. That is one big thing about the United States that I'm very ashamed of: we don't care.

That's also why the concept of treason baffles me. If my country is doing something I consider wrong, and I join the the other side, one I consider doing the right thing, what gives my country the right to say I'm committing treason. In a globalist point of view, there is no such thing as treason I believe, unless some aliens start attacking Earth and I join them.


I see your point and I perfectly agree. I don't agree at all with Québec's gouvernment right now and I protest against it and I don't believe in treason either. I'm proud of my origins and of my roots. I'm not blindly patriotic.

I've noticed a lot of people here tend to say that they don't like their country and that they aren't proud of saying where they are from.

I wanted to know why those people aren't proud.

I know I'm really proud to say I'm from Québec (Sorry to all canadians but I feel I'm more Québécois than Canadian when talking about national pride). Am I the only one?
