Are you proud of your country?

Asked by MilkyWay (13745points) May 15th, 2012

Why or why not?
When you celebrate moments like Independance day, or a Jubilee, do you get out your country’s flag in joy and happiness?
When and if you do, what are you representing? Just the fact that your proud to be a (——) Citizen, or does it go deeper than that?
Does it mean you are proud of what your countries ideologies are?
Does it mean you are proud of your country’s history, and what it has acheived throughout time?
And do you think being from an ethnic minority, you should be less, or not at all, proud of your Western country, because of horrible things that happened in the past?
Be nice guys, just trying to make sense of something someone said to me today. I was wearing a Union Jack locket to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee. Still am.
And last of all, do you think being a patriot, or a nationalist, is stupid or silly? Do you think it is immature?
