I've always thought patriotism was retarded.
an old quote I found once went like this "patriotism is the belief that one country is better than the rest because you are born in it"
Indeed.
That is the view of many americans, though.
"You were born in America so you should be proud of it."
I find this fucked because many americans look at people of other nations as being "less fortunate", etc. while it is americans who for the mostpart act out of blind patriotism i.e. "I'll die for my country regardless of the reason" and other bullshit. that is generally the idea. and the shit about the "correct way to get rid of a flag" or "that it cannot touch the ground" is just fucked. seriously. there are better things to give a fuck about.

I think its pretty clear that the guys in the viddeo didnt actually give a shit about the correct way to fly the flag - theywere simply aiming to make the red necks look ridiculous
