One that's in a nation that just suffered it's worst attack ever. One just dealt a massive kick in the guts that needed every bit of solidarity it could get.
Would you condemn Spainish for wearing flags after the train attack? Show some sensitivity. Or is your memory deficient to the point that 9/11 holds no relevence or meaning to you?
Certainly your inability to understand little human things like grief, bonding, loyalty, pain and suffering are bewildering to say the least.

What's the supposed reason for that? Because Americans feel proud for their country? You got to be kidding me!
I'm not trying to offend you or attack you here, but I think Americans are taking it one step too far by doing these type of things... even if it's just about a pin. American Patriotism is closer to fanaticism if you'd ask me.

Why should one culture criticise another Link? You're being bigotted. American patriotism makes perfect sense given the DIVISIONS within the nation. Divisions you clearly don;t understand, or you would see American patriotism as necessary to the very fabric of the country.
In short mind your own business and leave a patriot to wear a flag if he feels so moved. It shows meanness of spirit, pedantism and bitterness to condemn or ridicule a person for have LOVE.
LOVE of country is a wonderful thing. Love is a wonderful thing. So Americans are proud of their country? Perhaps you're jealous? That's all it seems to be when you rant like this. A little jealous person who is envious that their country isn't as good.
If not, you should think about the picture you're presenting when you ridicule LOVE of country.
