Let me start this topic with three quotes (yeah recently we have it with quotes here on ES big time):


"Patriotism ruins history." (Goethe)

"Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it." (George Bernard Shaw)

"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." (John F. Kennedy)


So how proud are you of your homecountry whether you are located in it or not?

And do you show it? In which way(s)?

I'm patriotic only when I have to be. Patriotism can be arrogance and god hates arrogance.

Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves,
Britons NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, Shall be slaves.

That much on my mom's side.

I'm loyal to ideas, not to national borders.

Oh I'm very patriotic to my country. Doesn't mean I dislike others just proud to be from my country. No arrogance involved.
