Are you proud of your contry? (If so why?)

Asked by Myndecho (948points) April 10th, 2009

I see Wales as a country I live in rather than having any relations to the person I am.
If I’m truly honest I’m disappointed at what I see in Wales what people priorities are set on, I am who I am no matter what county I live in.

Which one? I have dual citizenship.
My motherland Poland and my foster parent America.
Both proud to be a part of.
Poland for her courage in fighting all who seeked to destroy her (ie nazis, soviets, kossaks,ets)
US for all liberty it provides and oh so much opportunities for all as well as helping out less fortunate countries out there.

I live in the United States, and I’m proud of my country. I serve in the Air Force as well. I don’t advertise my patriotism or anything like that, but I am proud.

in regards to the photos, quite disturbing, but I’m sure I could find worse from the United States =)

@RandomMrdan
America is a truly amazing country, it has passion and pride of course it has a bad side like anything.

I would hate for you to assume off a couple of photos this is how Wales is, but it hold a close representation of a life style that is growing in Wales that it’s normally to get too drunk to stand, to be a slob and the rest of the features you see in these photos.

I hope I’m one of the many people setting a positive example, by not getting drunk ever, not taking drugs, not having sex with people we don’t truly like I hope anyway

@Myndecho – Sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders. Keep up the good work.

Yes. Due to WW2, Germany has become a peace loving country. We are open minded. We prefer talking and diplomacy to brute force. We have great food. We make the best beer. We make the best cars. We are the source of the greatest minds in the history of philosophy, arts and science. We invented the telephone, the automobile, the motorcycle, the aeroplane, X-ray, the computer and much more.
In short. We are better than America.
