Nationality Pride Threat

Post » Tue Aug 24, 2010 11:56 pm

Topic: Nationality Pride Thread.

NOTICE: Ignore my fail at grammar in the topic title.

Whats your nationality?
Are you proud of it?
Scream out your pride!

NOTICE: There shall be no nationalistic insults or slandering, and there will be no discriminatory comments unless you're a xenos Eldar. Then you burn. Otherwise, keep it clean.

Nationality: MEXICANO!
Are you proud of it? Mas que tu.
AMO MI PAIS!


Now the forums turn.

Sheesh, national identity. If anyone asks, I'm Irish, since I spent most of my time there. And heck, yes, I feel proud about the country. Not how it's lead, but about the good people. ^_^
The second biggest part tells me to not be proud, because bad stuff happens when people are proud about being it. http://humoncomics.com/art/evil-flag.jpg!

I've got none. Also, the typo in the topic is not the best way to start the conversation argument-free.

Only when in excessive amounts. Small amounts of nationalism can lead to a large scale feeling of unity which can further the progress of the nation. But yes, excessive amounts lead to nationalistic hatred/wars/etc. Not a big fan of it myself.

I like to pretend that doesn't exist on the title.....

No worries. Ro will fix it.....if he get's online in time. And honestly, to the first posters, seriously. Pessimissm? All I ask is a little pride, nothing more. If it's that hard, at least say viva le France or viva Espana.......yeesh, be productive.

I hate everything else about my country politically we do [censored] all, technologically, the same, culture wise we are dead, the northers and southerners hate eachother, and the weather svcks. Yeah not to proud of my country, we are pretty irrelivant and dont contribute to much.

Not really no, quite the opposite really considering that I have no pride or respect for my country the U.S. whats so ever and don't put much value in nationality though it depends on the country.

Afro-Caribbean-American, and for the most part I actually like it here. There's worse places I could be.

Washingtonian, but I consider myself a Texan, and then Southern. And I love my State! And I love my heritage!

Note: Notice I say State.

For the glory of Cyrodiil! Once, we Imperials were slaves to the foul and sadistic Ayleids, but no longer. With the favor of the Nine, we rose to defeat our former slavemasters and conquer Tamriel. Under the covenent formed between Al-Esh and our beloved patron Akatosh, we rose from nothing. By the glory of Shezarr and his avatar, Pelinal, sent unto us to assist us in eradicating the Mer who tormented us and by the glory of his companions, Al-Esh and Morihaus, our power and influence has spread to teach the savages of the other provinces some manners. By the divinity of Reman Cyrodiil in his noble birth and connection to the Chim-el Adabal, we also give thanks. From the historic text of Remanada, "And in the child's forehead was the Chim-el Adabal, alive with the dragon-fires of yore and divine promise, and none dared obstruct Sed-Yenna when she climbed the steps of White-Gold Tower to place the babe Reman on his Throne, where he spoke as an advlt, saying I AM CYRODIIL COME." Of course, last, but not least, the great Cyrodiilic hero known as Tiber Septim, founder of our glorious empire who, through apotheosis, rose to the rank of god and became the divine Talos, is also with us. Our enemies crumble at our feet. What reason do we, the chosen people of the Nine, have to fear the lesser peoples under our rule? For Cyrodiil, for the Imperials, and for the emperor, long live the empire! Arcta an bala av Cyrod!

Yeah, unfortunately these topics never go well, the jokes start not meaning harm, but tend to turn meanspirited and politics always creeps in.
