I had gotten together with my kennel partner today and her brother was over, he had a friend with him. Well, being myself, Im not all too fond of the USA, its a good country, dont get me wrong, but I dont quite 'belong' to put it nicely. Anyhow, her brothers' friend and myself got into a debate about war and the fact he hates deutschland..that set me off. He started pushing buttons, he is -very- proud of his country, moreso than any American Ive met, and he thinks everyone is this way. So, to ease my mind Ive come here to ask how many that live in their country take so much pride in it that they would not only research its accomplishments but hate another country from researching? Or, easily put, have a strong passion for 'their' country.

This is a good place to cool down tempers and throw ideas around without resorting to yelling and walking out slamming the door behind you.
Good question. Throughout the years, I have learned that some people love their country with a passion that only another man who desperately loves his country can understand.
"Breathes there a man , with a soul so dead.. that never to himself had said-- This is my land, my native land..."
And yet I have met men and women who are by nature nomads, or citizens of the world. They would go to war to protect Mother Nature, Mother Earth, this planet, our "tiny space ship'". "I love all of mother earths parts. So the desert is her elbow and is parched and dried and wrinkled, but it is still her elbow..."
Is that attitude more realistic than the country lover? Or is he just a manifestation of the evolved man.

I personally have a strong passion for what this country was founded on.
I DO NOT have a strong passion for what this country has come to. It has become very socialist and it’s moving more toward becoming fascist. It’s disgusting, but I do love America and hopefully we can change.

Everyone loves the place where their home is. As Americans nowadays, we get pretty defensive when you bring up the war. We never asked for it, we hate it just as much as you do ( if not more: we have to finance it ). It isn't our fault, either. So, please stop blaming us for it. If we knew how to stop our president and his republican friends from destroying everything we hold dear, we would.
