a vagina?
It still doesn't make sense. There is no such thing as scottish achievement or italian achievement. Only human achievement.

You honestly think Chinese citizens have just as much opportunity as Spanish citizens? The Chinese one-child policy alone speaks in direct opposition to that sentiment. And in a culture as subversive to female interests as China, ask a female Chinese national if she feels like she has just as much opportunity as a Spanish woman for employment, reproduction, education, political involvement, etc...
Without opportunity, ability is meaningless. The opportunity is either bestowed or restricted by, in many cases, the country in which one lives. And contained within that, is something to be very proud of, IMO.

No, the womb.
I'm not talking about achievement though. I'm talking about being proud of the country that you come from.
Everyone sees achievement as someone from a country. Engineers for example. Many people say for example. Scottish engineers like John Logie Baird, who invented the television or James Watt, who invented the steam train. Yes that is human achievement but they still came from Scotland.
However the thread is not about that. It is about how one can be proud to be Scottish, American etc, not the achievement of said country.
It's not important. Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. :yesyes: :yesyes: :yesyes: :thumbsup:

Should a talk like this noo? Aye? Naw?
Yes nationalism is foolish when it comes to a patch of land and a flag.
Real nationalism is being proud of your culture and heritage, cherishing where you came from, and honoring your ancestors.
The type of false patriotism that is so common in Fox news watching douchebags is an extreme sickness.
An American patriot in this day and age should be up in arms against the US government, instead these patriotard sheep belive that their government can do no wrong even if it means murdering millions of innocents all over the world.
Whats even worse is that most of these patriotards are also brainwashed by religion and feel that God is on their side. They truly have a perverted and false view of religion and patriotism
So, its OK to be a patriot, just as long as you aren't a Republican and don't have religion.
Got it.
If ye dae that then ye better subtitle it fur the folks no able tae unnirstan whit the fuck is bein sade by you or me.
Och aye the noo!

Gratitude yes, pride no.
When you have pride you are saying there is something special about the people there which can't be found anywhere else. It's a delusion.
How can someone be proud of trees and coastlines?
But you can be proud of your heritage and history

why?
We didn't earn it. Where we are born and who we are born to is a matter of luck.
It may be luck but you can still be proud of living there.
You can enjoy your countries History, culture and national identity.
Beautiful landscapes or friendly people.
