[QUOTE=Lankist;19733679]Any country in which you can burn its respective flag in front of police officers and walk home at the end of the night without so much as a fine is a good country.
That's how I celebrated 4th of July last year by the way.[/QUOTE]
That's a bit extreme.
[QUOTE=SantanaDVX;19733673]I totally agree with you.
I live in the south, around bible-loving redneck shits who drive jacked up pickup trucks, go huntin', go muddin', and fail in school. It's so annoying living around these people (the "muricans" you're talking of).
I've made up my mind that I'll live in Great Britain or another western European nation after college. Hell I'll even take Canada; it's like an America that doesn't suck cock in almost every way possible.
It's painful being around these inbred hick shits, I want to get out.[/QUOTE]
Way to stereotype, yo.
[QUOTE=Viper01;19733735]Move north, it's easier and the people are basically the same as Europeans[/QUOTE]
I've definately contemplated it.
I would take anywhere away from this hick shit part of the country I live in. Northwest, Southwest, Northeast, Rockies, fuck I'd even take Alaska.
[QUOTE=DeepDish;19733733]where in the south do you live, perchance[/QUOTE]
Southwest Tennessee/Northeast Mississippi
[QUOTE=OvB;19733787]Way to stereotype, yo.[/QUOTE]
I've lived in the same part of the country since the day I was born, I've traveled all across Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and North/South Carolina.
They're all the same, except the cities (Atlanta fucking rocks).
I've been to my mother's family reunions (she came from a hick shit family, but somehow they gave rise to an intelligent woman who was the first in the family to go to college and actually make something of herself). The reunion actually had a tobacco spitting contest. Yeah.
"Hurr durr look at mee in mah jacked up furd f-150, I put a shitload of shit into it so it rides really high and I can drive thru mud in it real gud" :banjo:
Granted, not everyone down here is like that, but there are tons of rednecks like the ones I'm describing.

it is [i]exactly[/i] the same in texas. hahahaha

Never mind then, carry on.
I live in Michigan.
Plan on Moving to Toronto.
[QUOTE=Faren;19733727]Isn't that a bit of a fire hazard? Why don't the police care when you set fire to something in front of them, no matter what it is?[/QUOTE]
Controlled and responsible burn in a concrete and asphalt driveway. Police don't stop bon fires, they don't stop fireworks, they sure as hell don't stop the burning of a small cloth in a dry, controlled environment.
[QUOTE=SantanaDVX;19733751]That's a bit extreme.[/QUOTE]
No it isn't. We have the right to burn our own flag. To burn a flag is to express that right, to use it and not take it for granted. To recognize that, unless we use that right, it will not always be there. It is a celebration of the freedom of dissension.

I hope you realize that annoying people live everywhere, and not just in America.

Not really, Texas is far better than Alabama and those "other" southern states. What part are you from? I'm just glad I don't live in Alabama.
[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;19733334]My stepdad is hell bent on me joining the military and having me be a scientist and develop new ways to fight China when we eventually have to.[/QUOTE]
Does he live in some alternate reality where the Cold War never ended?
My view is: Nationality is the country you hail from and are currently a citizen of.
I love my country.
That is, the UK.
Although I am proud of my heritage as well, which is Ukrainian/Austrian.

Call me late but, bland? Son, the US of A is one of THE most culturally diverse countries in the world.
Also, the USA has the most scientists out of any country too.

:siren:[U][B]Common sights in the south[/B][/U]:siren:
[B]Mudding![/B]
(pronounced [I]Muddin'[/I] to the rednecks)
Hicks enjoy spending their welfare checks on expensive lift kits for their shitty trucks.
A form of competition, rednecks display their dominance by their ability to traverse a shitload of mud for no reason other than getting their hunk of shit trucks really, really dirty.

(pronounced [I]Thuh Cun-fay-duh-rate Flay-g[/I])
My grandmother's retirement home flew this piece of shit flag.
She hated it to the day she died.

[B]Hunting Stands![/B]

"So we can sit up here and drink beer and play with gunz hurr durr"

Yeah, so these are all enjoyable sights that you will see polluting the natural beauty of the south if you ever decide to visit the shithole that is southeast America (except for most of florida).
no i couldn't give a shit about my country
USA number 1 if you dont agree you can fuck off. :fsmug:

I've literally never seen ether of those here. At least not the way you're portraying them. The whole south is not Alabama.
I didn't choose to be born in any particular nation. It was a completely random occurrence.
That said, I can be happy that I was born in America, and I can be proud of what my ancestors did to make their lives and the lives of their fellow countrymen better.
Also rampant nationalism has led to some of the most fascinating and important cultures in world history. Nationalism is a great force; it is regrettable that it is all too often used for bad rather than good.
[QUOTE=OvB;19734057]I've literally never seen ether of those here. At least not the way you're portraying them. The whole south is not Alabama.[/QUOTE]
Mudding and hunting are more popular than baseball among the kids around here.
Also, they flew a confederate flag next to the American flag and Tennessee flag at my grandmother's retirement home.
The catholic school I attend flew one until a black family got upset.
You probably live in an urban/suburban area in the south. I live in a small-ish town, and it's filled with these redneck fucks.
I don't mind you Americans.
I do mind your Government.
And your air pollution.
And your water pollution.
And your land pollution.
And your light pollution.
But it applies to any large country really.
Nationalism is the belief that your country is the best because you were born there.

Yeah I live near LA, you have to wait until 2-4ish in the morning to finally see stars in the sky. Lights drown them out, usually.
