some people are sick of their countries because of the government BS and stuff. But leave apart all of the country problems, do you love your country? Do you feel patriotic? And if you could, would you change your nationality, or you are proud of your country and will remain like that to death?

I don't have that sense of love for my country. I don't hate it. I just don't have an overwhelming urge to squeeze the American flag tightly between my arms and sing "American pie" to it.

@supervalon I haven't a patriotic bone in my body. I enjoy living where I live but am at home wherever I happen to be.

I love my country, but each time I am receiving my taxes I am considering to migrate. I would hardly be able to live elsewhere though, I need French cuisine, way and quality of life. The only city where I have seriously considered to buy a house to retire is Venice.

LOL, receiving your taxes considering to migrate hahaha.. That killed me.. By the way, if you know the English language well, you would be cool here in the United States, Canada, UK.. But why going trouble to migrating, while you can live peacefully in your country.

@supervalon I am an archeologist specialized in Roman archeology, and I am not sure that I would have a lot of Roman remains to work on in the USA and Canada
. Times to times I want to visit USA to meet a few myLot's friends and French friends/coworkers who have migrated in your country and have converted to Indian archeology (unfortunate guys), and I will probably do it. UK would be alright if it was not a bit too cold : I have some family in UK and I spent a large part of my holidays in England with them when I was a kid/teen. Anyways, I believe anyone or quite anyone prefers to live in his native country than in another one, and I am happy with my life here

It's difficult to hate your home unless nothing's ever gone right there. That's why many people get frustrated with the government because they're seeing their home become someone different and possibly inferior to how their home used to be.
I know that I want to make my home a different place because it is becoming something that I'm not proud of. It might be time for a spiritual revolution.

@supervalon Less is more, and the saying definitely applies to government as well. If they took less taxes, more people would have jobs because there would be more money moving in the economy, and not in the hands of the government would just wants to tax us anyways.
Isn't it time that we, who are the employers of the government, get want we want by keeping the majority of the profits? I would be completely fine with a 4% flat tax on income. Is 4% something that would work currently? Absolutely not, but, it can work if we change the structure of the government.
Time to renovate!

I agree with you. Too much politics are bad for us. But we should always stay loyal to our homeland and vaporize all the enemies standing to our country.

I am happy when somebody is very patriotic and not ashamed of their country.

I agree with you. India may not be the perfect country to live in, but I always will love the charmful people in India. I like india. However, there's no perfect country.

I do not love my country; however, I have adapted to live here. I know there is no better place to live in this world, but I don´t feel proud of my country.
The only way one can live decently in one´s own country is to accept that one´s country is not different from other countries, but all share similarities, although, regional culture is what gives individual characteristics to countries.

I do love my country. Of course there are problems and corruption in our government but you'll see that anywhere, certainly more so in some countries. My dad fought in the Korean War and was shot three times, I will never say I don't love the country he fought for and almost paid the ultimate price for. Never.
