    I am sure Bin Laden would have repented if only they had said that to him instead of shooting him in the face :D

    I can see this thread going down the route of a slanging match so before that happens America has a lot to be proud of but it also has a lot to be ashamed of as with any country because it simply made up of humans, flawed creatures with great capacity for good and evil.

    Nationalism is pretty dumb because when you think about it- you are given your nationality through no effort of your own.

    Celebrate the contributions fellow countrymen/women make, be proud of the contributions you make but dont for a second believe that just because somebody who shares the same nationality as you has risked his their ass or worked their ass off to achieve/contribute something that somehow reflects on your self worth. Thats just laziness..

    I hate this argument, isnt it the same for the family your born into? Its pure chance if you're born into a good family or a bad family. Either way your going to have a sense of entitlement and pride to that family, being born in a country is the same.

    What if mother gets knocked down tomorrow? are you going to say "pfft just some random woman who birthed me, it could have been anyone".
