Yours is not the path of force, though force is often needed to clear the path. |
People are always trashing the U.S. about National pride...well looky here lmao, seems some people need to look at their own country before Trashing the U.S. anymore.
We are all ignorant until truth is revealed to us.. However.. How do we know the truth is not in fact a lie.. "When a man has lost everything, he may despair and die. He might give his soul to the fate's... or, he can resolve to take action." "The great thing about human language is that it prevents us from sticking to the matter at hand." |

Russia is Dooing well I see :P If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude; greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. |

The ones that shock me the most are Japan for being so low and China for being so high in trust of their citizens |

Japan and Brazil both shock me.

I don't understand this pride thing. So far in life I've only been proud of things that I've earned and achieved not something that just sort of happens that I have no control over, like what country your born in . I guess if you've wanted to live in that country your whole life and work really hard to move there but...so far I've always just been happy to be an American not proud.

Really? ... really? Japanese are one of the most closed-off and xenophobic people in the world, who pretty much still think they're superior to all of Asia. Even though they seem to worship anything western, so I see your point. |

Not surprised by the 3rd world countries, didnt know Australia was so patrotic though..well in a way I did, but still..infront of the US.. ------------------------------ |

I'm pretty sure the addition of trust is the key ingredient there. I'd say if I were forced to give a general overview of my idea of the typical stereotype of an American I'd say arrogance over the superiority of ones homeland and simultaneously afraid of their government (most likely a symptom of the first quality). I would actually expect America to be near the bottom of this kind of questionnaire. |

Not many people talk of politics in Tokyo. So, I'm not sure of their feelings. They enjoy lots of things Western, that's for sure. Also, Singapore is so high up...well shit. Do you see their city? I have a friend who lives there and it's gorgeous the architecture. Plus, it's a thriving economy with good public transportation. |

I'm Australian, but this thing is wack, how the hell can you calculate this sorta shit? I have to admit there has been an increase in national pride which I've noticed over the last few years, which worries me a bit, even though I love my country some people are taking it too far and sometimes it gets violent. The good thing though is that there is a mutual hatred of politics. Last thing I would want is seeing all those idiots like you have in the US waving little party flags and cheering for their selected scumbag, the biggest thing you have here is a press conference lol. O_o o_O |
