I am kinda, but I think being patriotic can get out of hand. There really isn't a good reason to sing tons of patriotic songs after a terrible event lik 911, sure it may help some people, but I think it gets a bit silly.

Not to the extreme of nationalism... personally I think taking pride in imaginary boundaries is a bit silly.

You should always have respect for your country, but don't go nuts.

Patriotism can get way out of hand, so I vote "kinda" because I love my country, but I'm not gonna act like a fanatic.

No, and i don't think there is any reason to it. I am for the good, not the mine.

But yes, i do think my country is better than most. :P

I agree. I take pride in my people and the things that our country has done to further society and the world as a whole. Sure, there are problems and not all of the solutions are the best steps taken to fix them, but there are worse places in the world and anarchy and chaos are worse then some form of stability and control, even if the economy is going to hell little by little and our leader can be a real dunce.

Not in any sort of fanatical sense, but I'm proud of my country and stick up for it whenever I feel it's necessary.

Then you're fine. Because you actually have a physical boundary.

That's right... you live in England.

Don't worry, in a few decades those pesky "borders" will be all but non existant.

Wrapping a flag around your groin makes you patriotic?

I don't really understand the point. Patriotism doesn't seem to yield anyone much of anything but solidarity and that can be a bad thing. People are more likely to think in logical, detached ways if they are by themselves.
