BRITAIN! BRITAIN! BRITAIN!

Are you proud of being British?

Many cultures dig our culture, with the riots from last year and the Olympics soon coming (which I don't give a David Cameron about) are we still proud of this country.

[dannyjt]

I don't care for such trivial things.

[McNeilio]

dont care

[chickenwing46]

I'm not British

[Warren_Jeeves]

I have a picture of the Queen in my house that I kiss goodnight.

[PatC_PSN]

I'm ashamed of being British. It's a global embarrassment.

[THE_FORCE]

Britain can suck my egg. 

[Kogia_breviceps]

Not proud, but not ashamed either.

I've never really understood national pride, be proud of your own achievements, not what people have done who just so happen to have been born in the same landmass as you.

We're supposed to feel pride when a Brit wins tennis, should we feel national shame when a Brit commits murder? National pride invariably either stems from, or leads to, aggression towards whoever isn't in your group.

[THE_FORCE]

The only good things about Britain are the scenery and M&S food.
