In Germany, none of you would be able to say the things you are saying here. Anybody who said 'God bless Germany' here would probably be warned or arrested as a Neo-Nazi. Patriotism is almost unknown, you do not say things like 'our nation' or 'the German people must...' here (BTW the first two verses of our national anthem are outlawed). You do not see German flags anywhere, unlike in America. To be honest, I am seriously feeling ill hearing you all praise your country. We're INDOCTRINATED against patriotism! Am I the only one who thinks that there is something WRONG with this picture, when you can't be proud of living in a land that you like?

yes,definately.
my first thought on this is:
there are certain things one should not restrain. if you supress people's love for their land too much, they eventually lose their fight or identity.
or, they go on an extreme road and become, VERY patriasm. (kind like when you order a child not to do soemthing, he does it anyway)
