I really don't know if i should be proud of my country

I'm the proudest American in Japan right now!! At least I hope so!

 Is it even an independent nation, or is it more like an outpost of the US? Is Puerto Rico a member of the UN?

I am a proud citizen of The United States of America and a true believer in the freedom and ideals that America stands for.

I enjoy being American and take pride in a lot of the aspects that make this country great. I like that many Americans continue to hold on to their religious beliefs and that we were able to build a great economic power; however every economy must take its share of lumps. Not everything about America is bad, although when the Government or some number of citizens do something I disagree with....I dislike the actions but not the entire country.

All that is needed

You make it sound like a bad thing.  Like I should be ashamed to be American, or some stigma attached to it, but I can come out and say how proud I am of myself.

Kind of reminds me of homosexuals who rightfully put aside the negative views some have of their life aside and proclaim their love of their sexuality. :)

IRT:

I'm glad to be born American, there are things that my country has done that I approve of, and things it has done that I do not approve of.  If America or, say, another country like France, did something, I would compare their actions with my own reasoning wihtout bias towards my own country.  I guess that means I lack patriotism and pride, but I prefer it that way.

I was born in the U.S. of A but I am not American.


I was born of Pakistani descent, but I am not a Pakistan.


I am Danial Khan, a Muslim who will soon be the founder of Outer Heaven Part Deux. Those who are interested, give me a call!

I'm not proud, I'm greatful. Greatful of all the freedom and options that I get from this nation.
Being proud means you did something. I am proud my ancestors came to this nation.

if you are born in the USA that would make you a Pakistiani American... so you are an American.
