1622: McNally: Right Again
"I'm seeing much more Spider-Man than I'm seeing Peter Parker from you, and that's very good to see."

I can understand being patriotic, but sometimes it's because we are celebrating a holiday. It can also be due to an event that happened like 9/11 or the killing of Osama bin Laden. When 9/11 happened the country felt united, the house and senate were pledging to be unilateral and military enlistment went up. What's happening today? Same stuff that happened before 9/11 but with a greater emphasis on security.
Let me put it a different way. I live in Nebraska and I root for our college sports teams. I have several Cornhusker shirts to show that I'm a fan. Of course I want them to win but I don't get bent out of shape when they don't. |

Awesome to hear so many nice things about Danny today. I tend to not laugh out loud a lot, even when I'm very amused. But sometimes I find myself laughing out loud, a lot, at Danny and I don't even know why. Oh but not in a mean way.

@ Danny - Once you let go of inhibitions, every choice in life is fun.

In my experience, there is something to what McNally is saying.
Yes, people identify with where they are from and thus tend to over exaggerate the good things about it, when they are somewhere else. But, in general, I have found that Americans tend to have a tad more of the "fuck yeah, my country!"-attitude while inside their country than any other culture I have encountered. I don't find the French going around padding themselves on their backs that they're French while among themselves, for example. Having a good dose of self-mockery helps keep that juvenile and pesky patriotism-thing at bay. |

I have been to NYC several times, most recently just a few weeks ago and I love it there. There is so much history, tonnes of things to do and the atmosphere is full of energy. That being said, I wouldn't want to live there. But I agree with Chemda, that doesn't make it a bad place it just means that it isn't for me.
While I agree with some of McNalley's points (ex: voting on basic human rights), I don't understand his problem with Patriotism. Sure, maybe American's are a little more out spoken than the rest of the free world, but who cares? I personally love my country! If someone was offended by me loving my country too much.... well that would just be silly. Anyway.... since I missed Canada day (because of my trip to NYC) I will post my favourite pro-Canada video. Enjoy! Canadian, Please ♫ - YouTube |
