So, are you proud of your country? Are you proud to be American/Canadian/English/whatever you are? Would you back your country up even if you didn't agree with its views? I'm American so that answers the question right there. Not too much to be proud of. I'm not anti-America or anything like that. I don't burn flags ahate our country. But these days, with America's...extremely stupid policy, it's hard to feel some patriotism in the current situations. Though I do feel funny whenever I see WWII movies and documentaries. There was a time where it would be awesome to be a patriot. The time is not now in America though. >_>

Id support my country so long as I agreed with most things, if they were doing doing something really stupid then I wouldn't back them up, most people wouldn't I don't think.

most people wouldn't I don't think. You'd be surprised at all the blind patriotism I see in the States. Afterall, one would think that people would have the common sense to not support their country if they're doing something terrible. Not true. Such was the case in Nazi Germany and numerous other times in history.

There really isn't much blind patriotism in Canada, nothing like you guys in the states, they tell you guys that your terrorists if you don`t support them

Proud to be Welsh, but I generally support the UK a little less (but, say someone invaded, I would join the army to defend).
Some of the decisions aren't what I agree with, but yeah, that's life.

Such was the case in Nazi Germany and numerous other times in history. Actually, although they had power in Germany, the Nazi party never had more then 15% approval, they attacked people at the polls who refused to vote Nazi, as well as killed other candidates
