No. Men don't wear dresses. And before anyone quotes me saying "kilts", no. That's part of Scottish culture, something I respect greatly. They are not dresses either, and to emphasise manliness, they wear nothing underneath.

Also, Celts ( mostly Irish and Scottish celts) ran to war naked, because they had the balls to say "This is how un-afraid of you we are and we're wearing nothing, ****s " ... they also hung many a head on walls, and traded heads retrieved from war between each other.

I love Celtic culture. Life would be so much easier if it were like that now.

Not consciously. I do it in my sleep, and they say itsa sign of aggression. In waking hours though, my lips are usually parted with redness and youthfulness akin to any young handsome male, so I don't grind them intentionally.

They should settle the issue of who is to blame with a good old fashioned boxing match.

Really this is part of the reason boxing stinks. You don't see the Eagles and Cowboys unable to come to terms to play each other...

Football stinks too in my opinion lol. I don't want to watch people getting payed to stand around for 80% of the game.

I don't use Opera because, quite literally, the icon is too repulsive for me. I guess I can't miss what I've never had.

You don't "join" the Marines as an officer candidate. You earn it. The equivalent of nearly five years of schooling, minimum. Do a bit of research before you talk about things you don't understand. If you can't understand feeling a sense of pride about something you belong to then you have no hope on the subject.

I really can't be bothered to research something for the sake of a meaningless argument on a website forum.

And yes, you're right, I don't have hope on the subject. Neither do you on the subject of total pride in oneself. Concentrate all your pride on yourself, not on the country you're from. Its what I do, and without trying to come across as arrogant and douchey, I excell at everything I do. Don't see the need for pride in anything else really. But thats just me.

If you honestly believe your country had absolutely nothing to do with who you are, then whatever bud. It has had effects on your values (or, in response to your excuse, your family's values, which in turn helped shape yours), your freedoms, your security, your health, your happiness, etc., etc., etc. But, oh well, just forget about all of that so you can be a cool rebel and go against the grain. :)

Hahaha. Grasp for more straws, or attempt to put more words in my mouth. When did I say that you, or even I for that matter, must rely on my country for any of those things?? Your country can provide all of those. Keep dancing around it. I'm an individual and a patriot! Blasphemy, right?? By your logic all of the proud, PATRIOTIC Canadian fans here on OT who touted (and deservedly so) their gold medal win over the U.S. can't, by definition, be individuals? Where the hell did the Army come in to this? Who said you, I, or anyone (except under dire circumstances (which have been misused in the past) such as the draft) has to join the armed forces? If you live in America, you can be thankful for others to do that for you.

Why did you bring them up then? And since when was it up to a persons country for happiness? My country can provide for them yes, it would take a dunce to try and deny that, but like I said (And I'll say this for the final time), they are privileges. If my country took away freedom, security and health, they'd be touted as an oppressive nasty nation, which no country wants in this climate.

And sure Canadians can celebrate their own country winning a medal, but at the end of the day it was a team of men who form an absolute minute figure of the population who earned it. I also hear one of their best players plys his trade in the U.S, but that's another matter.

And I brought the army into this. You mentioned your joining the Marines as an officer candidate. Why did you do that? Was it love for your country? Its sad to say but a great number in the population of any country couldn't care less about their armed forces, and politicians will mourn the death of poor soldiers by sighing and moving on with their political agenda. Sad but true.

I'm not trying to say someone can't be patriotic, it exists (unfortunately), but it makes absolutely no sense. The way I see it, its chance and if I'm going to be proud of where I was born then hell, why don't I be proud of that little bit of money I won on the lottery last week?

I'm not continuing this. Every time I've argued with a patriot, its gone nowhere. Goodbye.

Did your home country have nothing to do with who you are? Eliminating that as a factor is the actual short sighting, my friend.
