I'm proud to be an American, where atleast I have A/C.

True, but at least I know I'm free. And I won't forget the men who died that gave that right to me.

You're not really free, in this capitalist society you need money to be "free".

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Maybe so, but there ain't no doubt I love this land

by Anonymous 1 year ago

there are about 50 other countries that are also "free", just fyi.

And I'd proudly stand up next to them

Try rocking the boat. We will see about this freedom you mention.

Hey now, the flag still stands for freedom. And they can't take that away.

Being proud of the circumstances of your birth that you had no control over is weird

You should take a fun filled vacay to Afghanistan, your chest will swell with pride if you make it back.

Maybe that's what soldiers are really proud of? Their ability to survive war? I would definitely be proud of myself if I survived Afghanistan and made it back.

There's lot of pride associated with coming back from War. My point is go immerse yourself in true deprivation and your perspective will change.

I'm from Mississippi and I used to live in Mexico. I've lived in deprivation my entire life. A little less in Mississippi, but Mexico for damn sure. I'm not sure the argument that "there are places that are worse" is what is going to make me feel pride.

So you're proud that your life is easy compared to people living elsewhere? That's weird. I would be more proud if I lived somewhere that was harder to survive. At least then my continued existence is reason to be proud.

Go try it, then get back with me.

No you can keep being proud of something you had no control over because you have no real accomplishments. I'll keep being proud of things I've actually done

It's Sad you don't have appreciation for the freedoms and standard of living that were earned for you by others.

So maybe you don't have a dictionary handy, but pride and appreciation mean different things. Not that I'd expect you flag humpers to have a particularly advanced grasp of the English language.

How'd Afghanistan end up that way? Going to Afghanistan would do the exact opposite of making me swell with pride for America.

Try it out, You'll fall to your knees and kiss the intolerable streets you walk, if you make it back.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

You kiss a lot of streets, huh?

Seeing how we destroyed Afghanistan would fill me with rage for this country. You literally couldn't have chosen a worse example than Afghanistan.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

I wish I could speak with you further on this but you have no perspective, go there then we'll talk. Peace

It's hell on earth. It's like that BECAUSE of my country.

Pride is a narcissistic emotion. Doesn't matter if your proud to be an American, proud to be LGBT, or proud of something you accomplished. You ignore everything and everyone you stood on to get where you are.

I think I agree for the most part.

The GOP stole the country from everyone else. They literally think liberals are un-american. Now even the american flag looks gross to me. They stole it from us by making it theirs alone.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Agreed. I'm proud of things that I've accomplished, not things I have no control over.
