No. I might seem patrioric towards America, but that's more support for a system closer to one I agree with than most other places.
Pride based on something as arbitrary as where you were born is incredibly stupid.

Oh, and on topic, I am not nationalistic at all. Nothing against Americans or anybody else, but Canadian nationalists piss me off.If tomorrow all the things were gone I’d worked for all my life,
And I had to start again with just my children and my wife.
I’d thank my lucky stars to be living here today,
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can’t take that away.
And I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land God bless the U.S.A.
From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee,
across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea,
From Detroit down to Houston and New York to LA,
Well, there’s pride in every American heart,
and it’s time to stand and say:
I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land God bless the U.S.A.
If anything, I openly mock and insult what might be called Canadian culture. But that's going off topic.

I like Canada, but am I patriotic? NO. Why would I be proud of/take pride in a country? It does things, not me.
But I do like Canada, don't get me wrong.
We used to sing "And I'm proud to be a Mexican, where at least I can eat beans..."
I don't remember the rest. And, yes, a large percent of my friends in elementary school were Mexican.
I never do the pledge, my teacher gives me weird stares and I like living here and everything, I'm just not a very patriotic.
Yeah, I voted. I went in and checked a box and voted for whatever song and dance propeganda I liked best. If i didn't know a canidate, I checked the cooles sounding name. I drink heavily on the fourth of July, and I care more to watch reality TV vs our Olympians or even American News.
I am the opitomy of American Patriotism.

I love Canada, but I am not fanatic about it. Though I do love Canada enough to find that Seperatist are stupid. I mean I took enough Canadian history that always covered La Révolution Tranquille and all that jazz, but I still do not understand why you need to seperate. Also the idea of "two nations" give me a fricken break...
No
This country is not ours, it's the Native American's country. And it shouldn't even be called United States or America.
Do I love America.
No.
Do I love democracy.
Yes.
I guess you could say so, since I work for the government.
I was untill 9-11 and every jack ass in the world was putting flags and stickers on there cars. After I am very unproud to be an american, and when I go to paris in october I will say I'm from canada.

My thoughts exactly:hourglas:
No. Not at all*. To many things to be worried about in this life to be worried about nationality. Nationality is an arbitrary division between people, and right now this world could do with a little less divisiveness...
*Except with reference to sport and Kiwis.
