No. Loving what is essentially a system of administrations is laughable.

Britain has done horrible things throughout history, but has also done good. Wales, has generally done more good than bad, but it is currently home to a lot of thick, narrow minded people who claim benefits and are over-patriotic. As is the rest of Britain.

So, no. And even if my country was perfect and had done brillaint things and continued to, then I still wouldn't be patriotic because them being from the same nation as me does not mean that I have anything to do with them. Why should I take credit?

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

Kind of.

That feel when your post backfires and ends up making you look stupid instead.

You do realize that you can still be proud of what your country has accomplished even if you didn't do anything, right? It's your home. Why wouldn't you have a sense of loyalty and pride towards it?

Yeah.

I also realize that just because you love a country and are grateful to live there, you don't have to agree with everything that the country does.

Yes it is, actually. Nationalism is about where you were born, not where you reside. The two are not always the same. You can live in the US but have a high sense if nationalistic pride for your birth nation.

It's not just a patch of land or it's history, it's also about who you live with.

Your loved ones, your families and your friends, are all part of your country.

Wrong. Nationalism is based on a common group within a nation. A nation is a group of people with common traits, culture, language, etc. In other words, a nation and state aren't synonymous.

Then nationalism and patriotism aren't mutually exclusive, so my statement still made sense.

I am a monument to all your sins

I love my country, but I do not like the way it is being run right now, with petty bickering preventing any form of progress.
