Very typical, Fred. You have very little to be proud of at this moment in your history. |

Well, not so surprising about the US, seen as they sing the national anthem every morning in there schools. At least in Ireland we choose to be patriotic! |

I hear y'll. I strongly agree that this survey is either old or biased. You all have no clue how proud I'm being an Ethiopian. |

Note to Pat: stop spending hours researching to devise witty comments that attack others while attempting to insult everyone else's intelligence... although amusing to me, its more obnoxious than anything else... |

Hello, I recently travelled to Sarajevo and Mostar in Bosnia-Herzegovina, after 10 years of peace the scars of war are still very strong, but there is hope as this nation is starting to lift from it`s feet after 5 years of mindless detruction and death, let us all hope and pray that we don`t end up in a most detructive war of Nationalism this would be too terrible to even imagine |

Dont be jealous that the US is the greatest country int he world...we are completely FREE therefore of course we have patriotism, more than everyone else as present. |

It would seem that Ireland is more patriotic than the U. S. NOT less or tied. Not only that but many Americans are dissatisfied with the government no matter what it does. |

Patriotism and nationalism are not the same thing, A. Crowe |

Patriotism is not an issue here people! Take this section on this site called "Undesirable Neighbours." Go to "Heavy Drinkers" category. Any similarities? Now, here's the connection! |

Nationalistic pride is nothing to brag about. Germany was also very, very proud of itself and look what happened in WW-II. Remember: "Double the pride, twice the fall". The only reason any of us are in the nations we are in is due to blind chance/luck. Be GLAD - not proud - that you are alive and not starving to death in some 3rd world nation. |

I am 29 years old originally from Germany. I moved to US when I was 17 and I am a teacher now. Schools do not sing the national anthem everymorning as one poster incorectly said. The "Pledge of Allegiance" is recited every morning but it is completely optional. Further more I believe many nations are confused about Patriotism in the US. It is not an ethnic thing and anyone from any race or country in the world can become an American. The US is very diverse, its not like saying we as a ethnic group of people are better than you, like in Germany or Japan. Thats why I am now a proud American. |

Can you renew that stat? The 1990's sound pretty old right now... |

Anastasia (US) 27th October 2006 |
Anonymous, I beg to differ. I'm an American who isn't happy with the government, but I'm damn proud of what my country stands for, our Constitution, and all the freedoms and possibilties that go along with being American. |
|
Zack (USA) 2nd November 2006 |
Cormac: actually, here in georgia anyways, children say the pledge of alleigance, not the national anthem. I still think 77% of people in the US being very patriotic is not right. 77% might think they are, but most don't even know the words of the star spangled banner(our national anthem) all of the way through. |

I dont know how any american can say their proud "to be american." The only true americans were driven off their land centurys ago. |
