Well! It seems with so much humans, it's always inevitable we have morons, pedophiles, killers, racists, and anyone else deserving an a good ass kicking. Personally, I believe this should be in serious discussion, but I decided to put it in a section according to the worth of it. Human stupidity! I've always been a victim to such, and basically anyone that has a view that's not of the popular norm will as well. And one thing worth bitching about (which I'm sure most of fellow SEN will disdain) is patriotism.

Patriotism, it's not exactly horrible, but lets be honest, sometimes it's a horrible mindset to have. In my own opinion, people shouldn't be proud of their imaginary borders, and all countries, lifestyles, lives should be seen equally. Of course, this logical argument I propose is often times granted the bitching of an idiot, in the styles of such - "WHAT?! YOU DON'T LIKE YOUR COUNTRY? YOU DON'T LIKE FREEDOM? YOU ARE A RETARD"

Another thing worth bitching about is the old fashiond dumbass ideal "We're good, they're evil." Which is basically when people will believe their side is the good side, they are the angels, and the enemy is simply bad, evil. Whom can we thank for that? Well, nationalism actually, but it doesn't stray too far from patriotism.Of course it isn't bad being patriotic, you definitely have to respect where you live, you're lifestyles, and as that saying goes, there's no place like home.

Overall, in my eyes anyway, Patriotism isn't bad, it's just human stupidity takes it too far like most things, and sometimes can taint it.

Now, I don't want this topic to turn into one of everyone bitching. Hopefully we can all just analyze and contribute the advantages, the disadvantages, and the problems with Patriotism.

P.S If you are immature enough to want this topic off for the reason you hate me, you are an immature twat, get off the computer until you learn to grow the hell up you useless waste of human cells and flesh. (Seriously, if people can say bad things about me, why is it I have MY messages deleted because I respond to their idiocy?)

Patriotism can also stem from pride in one's country and the country's ideals, in which case it isn't stupid at all.

Bah, Canadians. Anyway. I don't really believe people have too much patriotism anymore. I believe more people are looking out for themselves than for their country, and the only ones who are loyal to their country seem to be a bunch of morons.

Just here for the activity... well not really

What you're saying is that being proud of our country is somewhat wrong?

MY! How awesome it is to have Vrael in this topic! Such awesome praise aside, I do agree with some parts of patriotism. It's definitely easier to live in a country if you love it, as opposed to hating it. and no SSJ, it's not at all for that reason. I just dislike it when someone will kill another person and spit on their body. I also wish to I have neutral opinions on this topic.

I must agree with you quite a lot. I was hoping this would perhaps be a debate, or something of some intellectuality. By far however it was overrun by spam.

WTH do you guys have against canada, im not a patriot by no means; i honestly think literally every government are atleast partly retarded or "evil", heck i dont even like alot of people that i meet, but the thing about canada i love is that almost no one cares what other people like doing as long as it doesnt harm anyone.

If that is what Canadians believe, then you should try. You're obviously caring too much :P. I just joke about it. I don't really have a problem with Canada. It's America's Hat.

Canada is bigger than America since when? Since when did they start wearing pants in the form of Mexico?

Canada is the second biggest country, after Russia. The U.S. is the third biggest. So Canada is bigger than America.

But you must remember, most of it is uninhabitable (Mostly confort reasons) due to tempreture.

No it's not, Canada isn't that much colder then America. Aw well, we're cold enough not to have our asses burned in the summer at least. *That aside*

the large portion of canada considered "uninhabitable" due to extreme climate still has people living in it, its just not densely populated, lots of land to snow mobile about SUCKERS! :omfg: Also, canada invented zippers and chocolate bars, yeh what; go use some buttons whilst you eat your non barred chocolates.

DM, did you notice russia? how its ALL extremely cold, did you notice its population of 142,008,838, i guess theyre all frozen solid now, because without devices that turn electrons into conventional heat we're all dying :-_-:

edit: and up here in canada we use celcius... also on that map you provided i dont see more than 8% of canada with anything below -20f/-28c so i dunno where you pulled your figures out your ass the only places that cold are the poles and greenland, which isnt part of canada.

I just deleted I don't even know how many posts. And even the ones that aren't deleted are off-topic. Feel free to try this topic again. It might help to make your posts presentable and set a better, less retarded tone.
