This also ties into TV shows here a lot too...
American Pickers
American Restoration
America the Story of Us
Only in America
Gettysburg (It's related)
United Stats of America (oh how clever)
Inspector America
And these are all on ONE CHANNEL
I know it's the history channel and all, but is it really necessary to tack the word america onto every title...
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Wow. It's almost like the entire country is insecure or something...
I wouldn't say that's far off.
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I think someone just linked to Toby Keith.
Please ban her immediately.
*gag*
The Irish just have this instead
I know it's the history channel, but maybe it's about time to recognise that there are other countries with far more history than America
Master of the Fork

There is that! It's History Channel International! And the one I watch more often.
The History channel isn't respectable these days anyway. Best to just ignore it.
That's what I was getting at.The Irish just have this instead

HEY YOU DO NOT MESS WITH TOBY KEITH.

Signature by rubah. I think.
The Irish are worse than the Americans for singing patriotic songs! They take every chance they can get to describe their luscious green country and some bonnie lass they left behind.
Songs such as The Fields of Athenry, God Save Ireland, A Nation Once Again, Danny Boy, The Girl I left Behind, Molly Malone, The Boys of County Cork, Four Green Fields, The Town I Loved So Well... the list just never ends...
Irish songs really irritate me actually as they generally all sound the same and talk about the exact same stuff. Here is a list of subject matter found within Irish songs.
- Ireland
- Hills of some description
- Green stuff
- How great Ireland is
- How someone not in Ireland... would miss Ireland
- A faithful wife/girlfriend who used to live/has moved away from Ireland
- Mentioning regions of Ireland with great affection
- How the Irish have been mistreated by every other country/person/animal in the world
- Potatoes
- Alcohol
You'd think if it was that great then they would never leave the bloody place. Instead, they seem to be making it their personal mission to open an Irish bar in as many places around the world as is humanly possible. There's probably one on the Gaza Strip by now...
That being said I don't mind the Irish people. My best mate is from Cork and he is a legend.
Swedes try their very hardest to avoid the topic of patriotism completely. When people do dare express their opinions of Sweden, it seems to be something along the lines of:
2% Old-School Patriotism - Oh Sweden, beautiful motherland... *tear*
3% Nationalism - Sweden rocks, smurf immigrants (at least brown ones)!
15% Hate - Sweden sucks, let's go somewhere ~exotic~ and get tans!
15% Post-Hate Patriotism - Sweden rocks and I reserve a right to be proud (also, USA sucks lolol)!
20% Overcompensation - Sing the national anthem? What do you take me for, racist!?
45% Non-commital - Sweden's cool I guess and other countries are okay too I guess...
The Old-School Patriots, the Nationalists and the Post-Hate Patriots are the only ones who are passionate enough to sing about their attitudes. Most media avoids the topic entirely, but Nationalism and Overcompensation are sometimes featured on news (mostly around national day) and in documentaries.
Around here nobody is proud of the USA, just Montana.
God I love Montana
