Yes to both. I'm rather fond of Blighty.

Nobody can´t be proud of what Argentina has become.

Gotta love that 'keep the status quo' logic.

I love the melting pot of American culture but not our multifarious political system that seems to get nothing done, especially with the obstructionists occupying our congress. I love the people and our history, but not the politicians, lobbyists, and corporate conglomerates who are running this great country into the ground.

Is this a joke, I would have described my country exactly the same as you describe America.

I am, and I want to better my country since chances are it is where my kids will grow up, their kids will grow up, etc.

I'm Canadian. So, yes, I am proud.

Being loyal to Canada? Yep, Canada is the only country I can really see being loyal to...

And we've got Justin Bieber and the oil sands too.

Meh, I guess I can get sort-of proud of my country. We did some cool things in the tiny amount of time in history that we've existed. Loyal? No, I'm only loyal as long as we're as good or better than other countries. Given that Canada is a stable, not-human-rights-abusing democracy right now, I guess I'm loyal. But if that changes that loyalty goes right out the window.

Why would anyone be loyal to Rhodesia? It was literally founded on racism.

Good to know Americans think we are super-humans who always avoid anything bad.

I agree.

Oil sands aren't really a problem, though... They're what creates most of Canada's exports...

I hate my country, i feel 0% patriotism.

Because, at the end of the day it is a piece of land, nothing more.

Wy say you hate it? If it's a meaningless pice of land, hate seems an awfully strong emotion.

Proud? No. The United States once stood for something. Freedom, democracy, a beacon for those in need. It is no longer so. The petty squabbles of those who run with country shall cause its downfall. The fattened hogs that rule the failed bureaucracy of two parties, no choice between, have disgraced this once proud land with the blood and the fear of those who wish to see change.

I shall not betray my country as of yet, but I am sometimes ashamed to see what America has become.

I always go by what Carl Schurz said, "My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right." I have to ask you, what are you doing to help set her right?

by **Fenwyck** » Fri Mar 07, 2014 1:05 pm

I adore the UK, and if needed I would definitely give my life for it. I hate David Cameron though.

Are you proud of your country and/or loyal?
