    I'd like officially state that I am not proud of any country on Earth. With world crime/indecency continuing to rise. I don't believe in patriotism. I believe in individuals working together to make the world a better place. It shouldn't matter what country one is from. I am a believer in people.

    Ohhh come on Cion!!!

    Dont look at it so broadly, your in flordia right? What make you happy to be there? I mean there are a ton of things about the US as a country Im not proud of but there are things that are great too!!

    I mean the fact that people like you and I can get jobs doing web development is great! Granted you may be able to do that almost anywhere...but its still a good thing!!

    I wish that the US had the access to cars that many other countries have! I would pay money just to see a Nissan Skyline GTR or a 2001 BMW M3 !!!

    Well.... I like the trees in Northern Florida. I lived up there quite alot. I wish we had more of that down here in miami. I like the fast food, (sometimes)

    i must say, im all for globalization.
    ppl see globablization as pure evil, and the destruction of the human race.

    the way i see it, there will be no more groups in the world, thats why there are so many warts, cause everyone is forced to be in a group.

    this is evident in so many sub-communities. maybe even in FK? (stuff like macs vs pc, but us computer ppl are mature enough to be stuff like that behind us).

    ALL FOR GLOBALIZATION!

    Freedom for Catalonia

    I am proud of my country, Catalonia, because after 300 hundred years of constant political / physical attacks from our neighbours of the South we still keep our language and our culture.

    I am not proud of lots of issues in my country, though... but that is not the question.

    Scotland: I love the extreme courtesy Scottish ppl show to visitors; is like if they were saying... "see? this is one of the most beautiful countries here. We do make this even more beautiful". I like that.

    Chile: I love the constant fight of some ppl that will just not allow another regime like the one Pinochet imposed. Fight for freedom!

    Cuba: I love the warmth of their ppl, even when external blockade is just transforming the country in a quite bad place to live.

    USA: I love the diversity of cultures taken to the extreme.

    Etc...
