Re: National Pride

Well, being proud of one's country is okay, provided that you're also willing to be just as proud of other countries that do similar things.


So, you shouldn't be proud because it is "your country" (well, if you're born there, if you immigrated that changes it a bit, nothing wrong with being proud for making the right choice.) but because it's a group of people doing good things.


Which, of course, means that I'm dead-set against the "My country, right or wrong" attitude that consistently refuses to die.
