Anyone have some sort of patriotism towards their state? Like "proud Texan" or "proud Washingtonian"? Entirely just wondering. Being from California and how it's so vast and populated and doesn't have any central culture, I can't really feel proud of being Californian. How about you?
Specifically I'm proud of being from the Bay Area, but not really as a citizen as the state as a whole. California is just stereotyped all the time as this place full of palm trees, celebrities, warm weather, and surfers. It's stupid.

That's more L.A. area than Bay Area, that's for sure. 8) *Ridez teh Yellow Bus Doo-doo dumb*
With the Rockies as hot as they are right now, you're DAMN right!JustPlainLucas
I like my Rockies cold and full of snow, just like I can see out me backyard. However, if the Rockies baseball team can be as cold and lethal as snow and ice, they will make Boston freeze up and give up. Only problem is that B-town is used to the same weather. But anyway, Go Rockies!!!!!
You mean am I proud of my state creating a president that committed adultry in office? No. I hate you Bill Clinton. Thanks for giving us a horrible name.

Whatever man, Bill Clinton has nothing on Bush..at least Clinton's policies were generally sound.
Plus he brought back National Debt to a 0 instead of negative (like everyone else). But, he lied in office, and had "sexual relations with that woman" in that very office.
Proud Washingtonian? Not I. 90% of the people think that Seattle is the state capital. It's mostly rural towns with a few big cities, and I'd rather not live in either. There are way too many protestors where I live. I have no problem with protesting, but they protest EVERYTHING. Like the Texan I guess I'm embarassed by the political climate. It's not so much that all Washingtonians feel either extreme, but that is what is projected.
I don't drink coffee. I've never even had one sip. I do like some grunge, but I spent most of my life in Aberdeen and Kurt Cobain is a local legend. Aberdeen's city-limit sign says, "Come as you are". Thats kinda cool I guess.

Don't ask me. I just live here.

I get ticked when I tell people that my family lives in Washington and they say "Oh, I bet you've been to the White House a lot".

Right! I'd have said DC if I meant DC, stupid! My friend has a bumpersticker that says that.
Yes, because we Ontarians (Ontarioians? Ontarioites?) get all the sports franchises and concerts. Sure they usually suck, but at least we get to see the good teams when they come to town.
I'm kinda meh on Mass even though it's a great place for a sports fan these past few years. After going to college in Maine though I am in love with the place...Fascinating Maritime history. Sadly, my girlfriend refuses to live out in the boonies...oh well...
heck yeah i am!......but this question is not that broad. wut about peeps who have GS accounts in europe or in Canada??? you have to be thinking about the global GS man, not just US......but seriously, Go California :)
I would be proud of being from Connecticut if I were rich. Since I'm not rich I'm not really the modal personality that fits with being from Connecticut. Other than that, I'm happy with where I came from, if that's pride than yeah, I'm proud.
I'm sure people have state pride as well as national pride. There's such a huge regional difference in culture and daily life from one region of the country to antother - so I could easily see how people could identify with that.
I'm from New York, and moved to the Bay Area. Boy do I have a huge appreciation for New York now and am VERY proud of my home state. Its funny, I worked a long time to get to the Bay Area, now I'm working my way back, lol.
Don't really care to be honest. It's just where I live, not the biggest deal. I live in Michigan, but I don't really have any pride. Nor would I if I lived in any other state to be honest.
I'm originally from the Chicago area and its not anything to boast about. I live in Florida which is basically a melting pot of people from all over the eastern half of the US. Whenever I go up north to my mom's, I'm proud to say I live in Florida especially when its cold up there.
