i have always said since i was in like 5th grade that i feel no patriotiism for my country.my school teachers use to yell at me , i guess, because i was different from the robotic, " i love america" drones
do i love america?nah , not really. do i appreciate the freedoms and opportunities i have here?WITHOUT A DOUBT!!
it's nice to wake up without tanks rolling down my street, i can own my own business, not be shot for my beliefs, and all that good stuff.
proud though?no way! i think we are just as corrupt as an other country in this world in our own ways. we take better care of foreigners, other country's starving, diseased, and dying, we let our children die in wars for our own greed, **** i could go on and on. so no i am more proud to be a New Yorker than an American.
it's JMO and i mean to offend no one with the way i have always felt. please don't come down on me for being honest with you and telling my true feelings. i don't want this to be a thread bashing each other
