Why not Velvet? x
Mugabe has no oil.
We're a backwater.
Not really.
My country, England, is full of beautiful scenes like the one below. Also the other countries that make up these beautiful isles are also full of lovely scenery and they are home to some wonderful people. Yes I am very proud of my country.
I can certainly appreciate the nature and scenery of the country that's a given, however some of it's residents leave a lot to be desired,politicians,bankers etc.
But there are some good people in it too Katty

Mostly good I think. It's the baddies that make the headlines - there's not another country I'd rather live in (apart from the weather) .............and at a push France - I do like France

...but you could say that about anybody in any country. I agree with VD, this country has nothing to be proud of, what's more, I don't think any country has anything to be proud of. They all have their ups and downs.

So, be proud of it's ups
Yeah pretty much....there are many folk & institutions I scorn at...alot!.....but on the whole I think we are a fair minded & tolerant lot
I'd introduce my parents!
Apart from when we get our strings pulled.

Germany are a fair minded lot, but they won't allow something like the BNP. Freedom of speech as long as it's our speech. Not that I want the BNP, God forbid.
Now...born in the land of 911's and AMG.
I'd be proud
Generally I am, but when I think of how we cosy up to the Yanks on our foriegn policy..I feel deep shame.
I am proud to be Scottish, not for the beauty of the nation, thats down to the rain and Mother Nature, but for the good people that live here. Yes there is good and bad everywhere but we are known for our kindness and hospitality. Plus we are not "Yes" people, we fight when we dont agree with the "flo" .and long may it continue !
Yes I'm proud, for a myriad of reasons...there's lot's of tin pot dictators out there ruling countries, committing genocide and other evil atrocities...we have selfish people in this country, like every country in the world, but on the whole I feel we are a caring race... although I am not so sure of the 10% of rich that couldn't give a sh*t!
We're a sock puppet.
We're a sock puppet.
yes, like 100's of other countries.... only sometimes, just sometimes we don't realise there's a whole lot worse!

I don't feel that....
I suppose it depends....when I look at the hard working folk living & breathing the same air I do....I am proud of them.....the banking institution on the other hand leaves alot to be desired....but even then it is just a handful of greedy folk (calling the shots unfortunately)that shame us.
Politicians are the worse...but then I just see them all as a joke!...a bad one at that!....ultimately though they don't matter as such...cos whatever changes they make, are invariably undone or changed 2/3 yrs down the line!
Except for the war moves.....totally against any form of violence !!

At least the Germans have balls.
And the French.

I'm not even getting into this.... because, your perspective of the German and French having balls are polar opposites of mine Velvet. I answered your post, now I'll back out of the thread

Balls of what though ?
I'm comfortable with the way we work...could be better...but... could be a hell of a lot worse Velvet!
Sweet dreams pal
Aye.
I'm rather pleased to be living on the left hand side of Northern Europe. Other than Canada we do seem to be rather well off.
One observes the current situation elsewhere and one feels blessed.

Just the latest in a Pussy Riot sort of a world.
Many things to be ashamed of, many things to be proud of.

Which country has nothing to be proud of?

i havent achieved much

the law is a bit of an arsehole
the government is a bit shite
but when we get together to do stuff
we sorta do it better than anyone else
Many things to be ashamed of, many things to be proud of.
That sums it up beautifully for me
Many things to be ashamed of, many things to be proud of.
but when we get together to do stuff
we sorta do it better than anyone else
I like both those sentiments
