How do You Feel About Your Native Country?
Are you a patriot, or just have affection for your country? Do you hate it? Explain why if you feel like it.
Personally, I love my country, Canada. I do think it is one of the greatest nations in the world. Though it is not perfect, and I do have issues with our Prime Minister, the SJW General Justin Trudeau. All that aside, it's a land that is beautiful throughout, and with a very complicated and unique history. My favourite thing about Canada is our freedom and safety. Though we are not quite on par with America in that regard, there are many freedoms Canadians have that many countries are lacking. So yes, I have my quarrels with my country but it is overall a great country to live in.

Canada. It's okay. I'm in Alberta and we keep shooting ourselves in the feet. Yay, we raised the minimum wage again and will do so yet again next year. Because that solves problems. Now the cost of living is going to go through the roof in what is already not the cheapest province to live in. The country and province are fine though... if you stick to the major cities. Backwoods Canada isn't far from Trailer Park USA. I guess that depends on your views whether that's good or bad.
Overall, I like it and probably won't leave. I would argue that we are more free and safe than America though. I can't knock us for that.
I do not hate England, in fact I quite like it, therefore I am a hardcore nationalist because that's how that works. It's not perfect, of course (certainly there are many, many things I would change) but as countries go, you could do far worse.
Dieu et mon droit.
Australia's a cool place to live, and I love the city I live in right now even though it pisses me off at times. I'm quite passionate about our history as well, no we were not just one giant penal colony, FYI.
Next year I want to go and do some traveling, a big road trip, but I doubt it'll happen, though I remain optimistic.
America sucks. The justice system, the crime rising, my annoying cousin, everything about it just sucks.
I wanna go somewhere else.
Imperialist scum

... tie
I feel like everyone just voted a shitty fucking president that is constantly kissing Obama's ass and will probably do the same with Trump. This = Crap.
It's boring. But at least the crime rates are low, the probability of me being mugged is lower than me winning the lottery.
I'm from Russia. I do love my country - its history, culture and power makes me proud.
I may not agree to everything our government does though. It seems to get more conservative and the power of religion is increasing which really sucks.
Where exactly do you live (e.g. state or territory?)
I've moved about a lot, but I'm in Victoria currently
You don't even know how good you got it.
You don't even know how annoying his cousin is.
I hate my country and I love your country.
But what if we lived in the same country?
The U.S. of A. Hate it, wish I could leave, or at the very least, see the people I care about here before my/our eventual extermination.
May I ask why?
What are you fucking talking about?
I thought about Canada.
It has a lot of issues, seriously. But idk I guess I do feel patriotic.
Shit weather. Guess where xD.
Ireland's the finest, to be honest. It's a decent place to live and I can't fault it all to much, as I am quite proud of our history and do feel a sense of patriotism from time to time.
Really, the only thing I could fault Ireland for heavily is it's politics and the god awful parties that get elected, added on with the increasing crime rates and the homeless issue, and maybe, the fact we have a godshite for a leader, high levels of alcoholism, corruption within local councils, GAA, horrible weather, and even worse people... But hey, no place is perfect.
Britain?
If you really feel that way, why not stay and fight?
You guessed it xD
Especially at this time of year
I love my country: the landscapes, the communities, the people. America is an absolutely huge, beautiful country, with a rich history and traditions that make it unique. The land itself is very rich, despite much of that wealth being hoarded and squandered
I despise the state and the so-called "nation". Particularly the injustices, theft and violence carried out in its name, both past and present. I oppose the economic system , where the sweeping ideals of American democracy and self-ownership go right out the window the second I clock in at work. Not a big fan of the soulless suburbs and strip malls either.
I think the former can exist without the latter and that it's something worth striving toward. I think people who whine about leaving if "this person" or "that person" wins "the election" are either liars or cowards.
I happen to also live there.
He never shuts the fuck up and uses the "I'm a little boy" excuse for everything he does.
He also hits my brothers and sister, and gets away with it all the fucking time.
But mate, he's only a little boy.
Obviously because of TheAutisticGamer's annoying cousin.
My brothers and sister are little-er.
My cousin is, like, 8 and my siblings are 5 or 6.
I know it was a joke, mate.
What I'm saying is, it's not fair to bully people and get away with it.
i died reading this. rip
....It's not?
it's ok. i'm not a patriot, i'm a cosmopolitan but i still like it.

Do you live in Melbourne or the suburbs? Because I can understand Melbourne getting on someone's nerves a lot because of how crowded it is.
I live in Australia and I love it.
The way I see it, the USA has its problems, the same as any other country.
Every government is run by men, and men are imperfect. Thus every government will be imperfect. There is no such thing as a perfect government, and there never will be.
I'm grateful for the freedoms we have here. And that they're based on the idea that God has given man certain rights.
As Thomas Jefferson wrote when he penned the draft for the Declaration of Independence:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."
I think Spencer Tracy said it best at the end of the movie "Judgement at Nuremberg" when he said:
