Of course you think I'm wrong. Nobody likes to be called a mindless patriotic drone... especially if they are one.
I stopped being a 'patriot' when I started to travel internationally a lot and realised that most people are patriots - irrespective of what country they're from. I've been to Russia, and trust me, they outdo Americans when it comes to patriotism. Only they aren't quite as obnoxious about it. And they're equally entitled to be patriotic. Because patriotism is all perception. Your country is the best becuase you think so! Woohoo!
So if every country has a right to be patriotic then why be a patriot? It's like 1000 guys with identical dicks arguing about who has the best dick. It's pointless, it's retarded, it's small minded and is only something that unthinking drones think about.
Those who think for themselves abandoned the idea of 'patriotism' long ago.
