I am proud of my country, but I am losing my rights little by little and wish that there were some smarter people in the government so they could fix it.

In my particular situation, it was definitely shameful that I lived in USA.
Well wouldn't they know moving to America things arn't gonna be like
South Korea? Isn't that why this country is the United States and why
South Korea is South Korea? And there are plenty of ethnic neighborhoods.
There's a "Little Korea" on the North Side of Chicago.

eh i'm in between
I mean the way that the majority of the people act just bothers me
I like being in the US but I don't feel any connections to my roots
maybe it's bc of how I was raised???
IDK but I hate the government
and everything's based on Christianity as well so
where do others get their word in??

I'm proud of Lebanon's culture. Proud of what it's people have overcome and it's constant hope but I wouldn't say I'm a huge patriot because there are still many things we need to change over there. As for America where I live, I wouldn't say I was proud or not proud. However, I'm not a patriot at all but I am very grateful to be here.

No, i'm not proud of my country, i mean, the ones who rule this country are douchbags. at least we live in a democracy and we're away from wars.

besides we've got a confortable standard of living. still, it is nothing to be really proud of.

some kids are proud of the national soccer team. Oh...awe-inspiring...gimme a break

not that i'm against or something, it's just like i don't care. the gov doesn't mess up with us cuz they're too busy doing their money schems, then, it's just as if it didn't exist, which somehow is good.

about culture, well, if u mean by brazillian native culture the indian stuff, it's long gone and nobody but a few thousand people who live in the amazon have any kind of contact with that crap. so i don't see the point to be proud of something that barely exists and doesn't represent our average urban reality

To some extend. Yes. But I don't think Denmark actually did anything.

Why would I be proud of my country, South Korea?

South Korea is a secret US state with corrupted leaders. And I am also not proud of living in the USA when I was a kid because of this.

This is why Koreans have Canada instead of USA.
