Would you describe yourself as patriotic?

[Rum]

Seems to me that thinking your country is the best is a little like thinking your god is the best! Are you patriotic? If so how do you justify it?

[cowiz]

No. It's a lump of fucking land where I happen to live or be born.

[Atheist-Lite]

Depends on whose pointing the gun at me at the time.

[Rob]

No, i hold myself as more responsible to the world as a whole than my country. I actually feel that the feeling of patriotism is a step away from nationalism which in turn inevitably turns to a form a bigotry through a us versus them mentality.

[Bella Fortuna]

No. It's a lump of fucking land where I happen to live or be born.

^^^ Yup.

[Santa_Claus]

I would like to be. But I am British - so nothing worth fighting for. nor worth contributing to. Patriotism would be a waste of time.

The good news is that I am not dependent on being in Britain for my wealth or my comfort, so (for me) it doesn't matter.

No. It's a lump of fucking land where I happen to live or be born.

[Atheist-Lite]

Extremely fine-scale ancestry inference will determine who belongs where in this country. Then you can all go back to whatever county you came from.

[Ian]

A little bit. Which is to say that, for all its faults (both temporary and historic), I very much like living in this country. Otherwise, my sentiments are pretty close to Rob's.

[MrJonno]

I have a contract with the country I live in, it has requirements of me and I have expectations of it. I consider it to be quite a beneficial contract for me but thats as far as it goes.

[Millefleur]

No. It's a lump of fucking land where I happen to live or be born.

Yup.

[Svartalf]

Nope, no never, not since I left behind a lot of childish illusions... and that was back when I left childhood for adolescence.
my country is a place where people are crushed, education is not what it used to be, and going down, oportunities to get that education are as minuscule as those to get interesting or lucrative job. You have to feel lucky when you're stuck in a sould crushing slavery that does not pay enough to live decently.

The gummint is made op of the stupid and the corrupt, and seem busy tearing down the place uner pretence of modernizing it. the authorities are a caste unto themselves with no links with, answerability to, or respect for or from the common people...

This place is ready for a revolution and/or a civil war...

[Ayaan]

No. It's a lump of fucking land where I happen to live or be born.

[Tero]

No. I have had multiple passports from two countries. It says I am citizen. And i had to prove I was not a nazi for one of them.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

I don't think my country is best, it just happens to be the one I like the best. I lost body parts for it.
