Do you love your country?

I love a lot of the things my country does, but I'm entirely not sure if I love my country. I don't feel a loyalty to this island, but I appreciate the hell out of it's history and it's culture and it's people. I feel a loyalty to the planet more than I do to the part of it I was born and raised on.

If my country was a girl, she would be shy and more reserved than the rest (although not without a wild side), generous and kind, intelligent, with a sense of tradition, witty and thoughtful of other people. She'd have a strong moral code and by God she'd stick to it. She'd have some less-desirable best friends and would make enemies easily with a lot of people without fear. Everyone would know her name but she wouldn't be either popular or infamous. She'd have some regrets and a troubled past. She'd do some things wrong, and she'd make thoughtless mistakes and not apologise for them. She'd hurt other people without meaning to, but she'd always feel a sense of guilt about it.

She wouldn't be perfect, but she'd be someone I could love, in a weird sort of way.

I love the good of it and hate the bad of it. That is America for you.

Yes, I actually do. I'm not patriotic or nationalistic but I recognise the good things we've done that have changed the world. I also recognise that, as a people, we're nice, funny, quirky, diverse, cultured, polite, fair, animal-loving, and embarrassed enough about our former empire to not want to be oppressive to other countries.

We have a 14,000 year old unbroken spell on this small island and abodes still exist from 5,000 years ago. My own personal family history consists of at least 2,000 years in the same location. There are many roads and towns named after my ancestors. I'm more planted in my little part of England than most people will ever be because they don't have concurrent family history in one place.

I am part of the land and the land is part of me. If I couldn't love this, I couldn't love anything. My dying wish is to be buried here, where I belong.

I do love America.

It is the place of my birth.

The target of my ancestors desire's.

It has been revered as a symbol of prosperity and hope for over 200 years.

Maybe it's not perfect, but anyone expecting perfection would need to become more realistic.

Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring.

i love australia. one of my favourite things about it is just the relaxed nature of everyone. we australians, in general, treat life kind of like really lazy party.

we constantly poke fun at ourselves and others, and we also have tim-tams. and vegemite.

I would love to visit the UK and all of Europe if I come in to some money. That is where my ancestors come from after all.

I am American, I am proud of my people and I love my flag. However I am very disappointed in our own government hijacking our constitution. But, we were stupid enough to let it happen.

So I'd say yes and no. I'm not some dumb southern country hick waving the flag blindly. But I am proud of our people.

We some gun-toting, church going, 18 wheel rolling, bag slangin, flag waving, old school yard fighting, beer drinkin, hell raising, hard working blue collar, earn it all do payin.

I am disgusted by my government.

I am very unhappy with some of the things that we had to do to get here, killing Natives, burning forests and the like.

I am not "proud" to be an American. Pride is for accomplishments. I did not create America.

I am not happy with some of the people here.

But I love my country and I want to work to better it. If everyone just gives up hope because of bad blood, bad history and some bad assholes, then what do you have? Worse. There is no excuse to give up.

Team Canada. Fuck yeah!

I love the planet, not any countries.

It's ok.

hear*

papbslim I think your ignorant. let me explain my ASSUMPTION of you . firstly I'm American, I'm a teenager and was raised in Jamaica. secondly you are a Haitian! and to hair you call a country whose past started the revolution movement for ALL slaves( just to make you know these slaves (black people in case you forgot, "american")were your ancestors) to be free. Thirdly America which you love so much is built on slavery, racism, corruption and lies, compare to Hati which was destroyed by the very same country you so damn love , America is rubbish . The next you call a country crap look up its heritage and history before you say that ignorant sellout . this is my opinion btw.

Fuck No! My parent's gave birth me in america of all places!!!! Ugh, If only they had been considerate enough to release me from the womb in a non-american country then I would've had dual citizenship. But no, I'm stuck with my american citizenship until I can move and give it up for another country.

Of course!

Sure I do. I mean, I'm not super-in-love with America. I know that we have our problems. But hey, it's home.

I am Haitian and Spaniard. Born in Haiti and raised in the United States. I am proud of my heritage and very much in love with the United States. Some Americans though, take it for granted. Not all, but some. I would never trade any other country for good old America. Just google Haiti and the history and you will understand. We are good, strong people but the country is rubbish now.

i vote no but i don't know !! :(( i feel home here kind off peaceful except that there is nothing peaceful here do i love my country or i am just used to live here!!?? i don't know

I'm from Finland and I love my country.

I live in America and absolutely wish I lived somewhere else. If I could, I'd go hop on a plane right now and move to Okinawa.

I love Britain. I love that despite if you go back two generations, it'd be implausible that my mothers parents (Let alone my parents) would ever meet, a large chunk of Europe and Asia between them. But I exist :).

I love my country and I am very proud of my British heritage but I wish I could say the same about my government, but don't get me started on that as I'd be here all night. I also find it very interesting to learn about other peoples countries and cultures. xxx

Yes, I love Switzerland. It's not perfect but I like most of the things we stand for. And I sure love the people and the beauty of the mountains. I can't imagine feeling safer anywhere else. There's no place like home :D

I'm in the USA and some things about it piss me off, but in a different light, I see that I'm fortunate living here. In some ways its better than some other countries. I wouldn't say its a perfect country though.

I'd like to travel to other countries still. But I am content where I am.

Yeah, I really do. The history and culture of England is absolutely fascinating. But then again, I would say the exact same about every other country. I just love the world! And history! And culture!

This place is my home, though, so it will always be really special to me and I'll always feel sentimental over it. I'm not patriotic about it, though. Far from it. I just grew up here, that's all, it's part of my identity. A pretty big part of my identity, I'd say. I think where we're from is a huge part of anyone's identity, though.

I'm American, and I hate my country.
