I guess English people have a hard time with it because they can't go around being all "I'm English, and damn proud of it, i am going to stick an English flag on my car" because its seen as being racist (unless there is a football match going on).
and because England and Ireland (and Scotland) have such horrible histories of fighting each other. |

Hahah, no I didn't mean it like that. I just didn't read what was going on in the thread really.

Wow, that's a really strange concept for me to grasp. In America a lot of people have their flags and shit everywhere, even the union jack (even though it can be considered redneck or racist or whatever) that is really just a strange concept to me. Then again white people aren't really allowed to say that they're proud to be white... which makes no sense whatsoever. |

Yeah... forgot the word heh.
That'd be funny if the union jack were redneck though. |

the american flag patriotist mania was completely puzzling to me the first time I saw it with my eyes. I mean the only time you basically see people waving slovakian flags around here is during the ice hockey world championships (although not really anymore ... we've been shit recently)

you can't do a thing. It really struck me when i was really really into listening to At The Drive-In, they were so damn proud to be from Puerto Rico, Mexico, and El Paso. They hung Puerto Rican flags from their amps at all their shows, if an English band did that people would assume they were racist, and wanted all immigrants out of the country. Thats just Crazy! It's not something that i complain about, it's just how it is. |

I'm really not sure why people are so patriotic here. It might just be because of 9/11, still. I don't think it was as widespread before that, was it?

That, and the fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic, fussy old white men didn't want to pay their taxes! |
