Are you proud of your country? (All Countries)?

I'm an american and I gotta say. I wish I could live in a world where i'm proud to be in such a country.

Now don't get me wrong, I still love my country, but I gotta admit, it has a lot of faults that i'm not to fond of. But I guess you get that anywhere.

What I want to ask though is, are you proud to be a ( )? <--- insert your country there

    Proud to be a Canadian!

    Came from the UK when I was 20, 44 years ago.

    As you said no country is perfect, but the respect that is shown in Canada for everyone is something I don't see many other places.

    We are under pressure to "Americanize" and our leader would be more in that direction if not for strong opposition.

    i'm proud to be canadian.

    it's good this question came at this time, lol, canada day just passed.

    We are the only real multicultural country out there. Other countries claim to have multicultural communities, but in america, if you come from a country the idea is that you give up your language and your identity and ideals and become an american.

    In canada, this is the only real place where you see cultures mix, mingle, display their cuisines, their music, people. I lived in a melting pot my whole life, i'm born here yet my parents are from somewhere in the east. My girlfriend is also a different culture then me, and somewhere from the south. I don't think these kind of mixes can happen anywhere else.

    Oh ya, and we got poutine here and you don't

    No. What's the point of being proud of your country? There are dozens of others which are pretty much the same.
