Be proud of yourself, what you have accomplished instead of being proud of what others have done.

Of course, I'm not especially proud to be British because of the stuff we're pulling at the moment politicians screwing over the poor in the name of cuts, but never touching the rich (which would include themselves) despite the fact it's there policies, or there predecessors, that have left us in this position but we get to suffer for there mistakes. Then we have hideously biased press, often doing illegal things to dredge up the worst possible bits of gossip to peddle, usually telling us how terrible everything is because of A) Political party they don't support B) Young people who don't buy there paper or C) random race/religion/nation/immigrants. Just peddling misery and hate to make money...there's good news in the world, but they never show that. People have to know that Paris Hilton blew some guy instead.
I'm proud of some of our past. I'd like to think I'll be proud of most of our future. But I'm not impressed by the present.

John Mason (Sean Connery): *(grunts)* Thank you for proving my point.
Brig Gen. Francis X. Hummel (Ed Harris): Where are the guidance chips?
*(pause)*
Hummel: *(whips out pistol)* Where are the guidance chips!?
Mason: I destroyed them.
Hummel: That was a bad move soldier.

... Sorry ... I couldn't resist. The quote from Wilde reminded me of an childhood favourite action flick.Last edited by Shadow Stalker; 10-23-2011, 02:57 AM.

On the Royal Wedding day, I was one of many Brits who were very proud of their country and celebrated.

All I can say is, I'm glad I didn't watch the video from China with the toddler getting hit by a van. I know I'd be in a rage after that don't need to put that on myself as there is already so much anger caused by a stupid selfish prick who was driving. Hes got himself a nice spot in hell though.

But Americans, so blinded by their burning rage for vengeance will happily celebrate the death of someone who apparently wronged them. Them personally, even if they knew NO-ONE in the World Trade Center on September 11th. Nationalism and such, just means you take pride in things you didn't do or get offended by things that have no real effect on you.

Before you go hurling out the "fuck Europeans" arguement, I should mention that my opinion remains the same about my own country. When the bombings happened on July 7th, didn't bother me one bit. Didn't give a fuck what happened to those responsible, didn't affect me personally, hell I hate London. You're never more than two metres away from an arsehole. Horrible place, horrible people.Last edited by Mr. Spencer; 10-22-2011, 07:58 PM.
