I am, but I don't display it publicly. I don't think you have to put a flag on your car or have any ribbons on your trunk to show patriotism. I think it all shows in your behavior.
I think the most patriotic thing you can do is vote.

I have pride in my nation, South Korea.
And that's why at times I become neutral or abstain from being hot-headed on issues of national clashes with other nations when I'm not sure. It's because I know that if I became partial, then internationally, people would see me as an ethnocentrist, and thus view Koreans as close-minded.
That may make no sense to you, but to me, it's like a creedo, besides the Ten Commandments.
I do have pride; a lot more than what most people think of me. And as long as my mind is in this condition, I know I must seek balance.
God Bless Korea, and God Bless You.

Yeah, I am patriotic but not fanatically so. I woudn't like to say -'hey, this is my country, so all the foireigners, out!!' It's just that we kids in India are usually brought up listening to the heroic deeds of our freedom fighters, Kings and queens who reigned India since ages, mythical stories like Ramayana, Mahabharatha and spriritual leaders like Buddha, Mahaveer, Basavanna, Shankaracharya, Nizamuddin Auliya. These factors naturally make you feel proud of your country. I am proud to inherit the legacy of my country, more so because we have always welcomed the whole world with open arms and we have been giving our best to the world.

Yes, I am, and if I was younger and in better health, I would like to be in the military.
I have several nephews that are in it and at least one of them is in Iraq right now.
When the flag goes by and the Star Spangled Banner starts playing, tears come to my eyes for all the people that died to keep this wonderful land of ours free. And now we have so many politicians that are in their own way, trying to take our freedoms away, slowly but surely. God bless the United States of America and may Old Glory forever wave.

Yes. I love Australia. I don't like to hear anything bad against it. I think we're a great place to live.
BUT I'm not so patriotic that I would fight and die for my country, but I repect the people who do/did.

I spent perhaps too much time out of the USA... during my time away from my country, I grew very, very homesick. You could almost say I grew homesick enough to be physically ill. Now that I have returned, I stick to my country like glue, and I am ready to teach a lesson to anyone who takes it for granted.

Nope. A country is full of diversity and different opinions and I don't think any one person can fully agree on everything their country has to stand for. So I don't feel strongly on standing up for something that I don't believe in 100% even if I do believe in most of their standards. I do however believe in standing up for yourself, your opinion and your rights! At least that is something I really do feel strongly about and believe in it 100%!

Yes, I love my country. What I love most about it is that we have the power to change what we don't like about it. No one country is perfect because if there was one, everybody would live there.

Yes, I am. I am a strong supporter of the US military, and I thank God every day they are keeping us safe.
