PROUD TO BE INDIAN

guys plz add why you are PROUD of your own country !
thanks!

Uhg. This is too much like homework! ;)

I technically don't really live in a country.

Is this the country you reside in or the country whose ethnic group you come from? I'm Vietnamese, but was born and raised in America.
Either way, I don't have much to be proud of in my eyes. I never thought of it as anything more than what I was. Sometimes I get a bit patriotic to 'fit in', but I'm modest otherwise.

everyday tourist attractions.. guess where I come from ;)

I would say Germany or Belgium based on the brew but since you chose the drink you did which is exclusivly brewed in Jupille, a small part of Liège. I would go with Belgium.

For myself...I was the first born in this country after my family immigrated. That being the case I was raised with pride of my country but more pride of my roots. I was raised by an Italian family living in America. I don't choose to say where in America but regardless to that fact..I was raised seeing two very different sides to the same page.

If i were to have to make a statement on what I'm proud of, it would be the fact that in no other country are you GUARANTEED the pursuit of happiness or the redress of grievances.

Now if only they could remember the piece of paper that makes that possible...oh yeah...the constitution..sorry it's been a while since I've heard anything about it.

I don't feel proud. I don't really care. I live wherever it suits me best and have no loyalty to a piece of land. I travel frequently and don't live in one place for more than a year or 2, sometimes only for weeks or months. I never understood the concept of patriotism though perhaps the fact that I have spent most of my life traveling is reason or that in part.

I believe patriotism is a false security because every country lies to their people and only cares about money. No one owns anything. All we really have is ourselves and people that love us.
