Are you extremely patriotic?

Every Cancer I've known is super patriotic. The American ones have the American flag somewhere on display (hanging it on their house, bumper sticker, etc)

Or they are super passionate about American Football, etc

And if someone criticizes the country, they'll loudly suggest that the person MOVE if they don't like it. And when traveling, they're proud to say they are Americans if asked, rather than downplay it out of embarrassment about the stereotypes. 😛

It makes sense, as Cancers are territorial of their. HOMEland.

Do you think you're particularly patriotic? Or no?

Fuck

Sorry for the duplicated thread postings. darn phone

Yes. Very much so. My birthplace is my heart.

Were u born in the US tho? If not, how patriotic do you feel about the US?

What is patriotism? I love the USA, the land of my birth. However, the word Patriot can mean different things to many people. Do I want to give myself a label that can be misunderstood? I would rather clarify, before I box myself in to a one size fits all definition. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, it means:"a person who loves and strongly supports or fights for his or her country". George Washington was an undisputed American Patriot, but what about Edward Snowden? Traitor or Patriot? When asked why he leaked sensitive US government documents, he stated: "to inform the public as to that which is done in their name and that which is done against them." According to the dictionary, a patriot does 3 things: Loves, Supports, and Fights for their country. Mr. Snowden claimed to Love, but according to some, failed to support and fight for his country. He claimed that he took his actions because he wanted to support the American people, and fight for them, thru his actions. Does a Patriot fight for country or countrymen? Is Obama equally a patriot than Bush, his political opposite? Suppose you have a brother who lives in another country and your country and his go to war, would you kill your brother? Are not all men brothers in a cosmic spiritual way? Are we to encourage patriotism or humanity? Would the world be a better place if patriotism were reduced to love of mankind and humanity? Was John Lennon right when he sang: Imagine there's no countries, nothing to live or die for"? This has been a truly thought provoking question for me. To answer, Yes I love my country, Yes I support my country, and Yes I will fight for my country. However, I do not agree with everything my country does, nor will I disrespect any other country by going to war with them for trivial reasons. If a foreign government invades the USA, they best prepare for old ladies to creep out of the woodwork with guns and defend the land we love so much. However, things change when you tell me to go invade another country with no real reason to do so. Shouldn't I have a say? I refuse to be a fanatical sheeple who blindly and idiotically accepts everything my country does. If there is one thing we've learned the last few years, its that our government is capable of lying to us. Is this OK? I will keep thinking about this one. Truly a profound question. I hope the peaceful dialog continues. Perhaps it will take a future more enlightened generation to truly solve this dilemma.

If you have ever been to the National Archives in Washington DC, there are two documents on display: The Declaratthose two documentsbf Independence and the Constitution of the United States.
The ink on the Declaration is barely visible.
If patriotism is defined as holding to the nature and spirit behind the ideas behind those documents, then yes, I am a patriot.
If patriotism is defined as hewing to the whims of the moment, or simply adhering to a law not because it follows the spirit of those two documents, but rather departs from them for the interests of the moment, then no, I am not a "patriot".

No I am not. I fact I m leaving my country because I m tired of it.

Krebb, when do you leave Somalia? Just kidding. You are talking about the USA? It wouldn't surprise me, considering last year about 3000 people renounced their US citizenship. Many shared your sentiment of being tired, others had different reasons. The simple act of renouncing, was the hardest thing most of these folks did. I would imagine this to be torture, and wish people would reconsider this drastic step. Ours is not a perfect country, especially now. If, however, those who are tired just give up, all hope is truly lost. I believe the dialog should continue in a peaceful and meaningful way, in hopes of attaining true results. Politically speaking, our country has never been more divided, literally split in half. We all need to focus on our similarities, and not our differences. We should also not allow the politicians and the media to manipulate our opinions. The ultimate freedom is our freedom of thought, we should never succumb this freedom. Good Luck and Good Living.

No I am from India.
