I think blind patriotism is as stupid as blind religious faith. I'm not going to help invade some random country just because the president says I have to or will go to prison. I'm not going to fight against gay rights because some christian televangelist says I will burn in hell if I don't. If I think something is wrong, I think it's wrong and I'm not going to do it because it's my duty from god or the president (though in the minds of many there is no difference between the two). Doing something that you think is wrong just because somebody in power says to do so is purely idiotic and shows a gross lack of integrity. I repeat for emphasis, blind patriotism is equally bad as blind religious faith.
You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.
