Why should you be pride on a nationality. A country is formed by boundrys wich are just lines drawn by argueging politicians. Im 100%afgan. Born '86 in moscow from communist parents(something to be proud of!!)Im not proud of my nationality or any nationality cause that would be nationalism and nationalism is one of the greatest opponents of uniting the world.
Let no one charge that socialists have arrayed class against class in this struggle. That has been done long since in the evolution of capitalist society. One class is small and rich and the other large and poor....One consists of capitalists and the other of workers. These two classes are at war. Every day of peace is at the expense of labor. There can be no peace and good will between these two essentially antagonistic economic classes. - Debs

I arise today
Through the strength of Heaven;
Light of sun,
Radiance of moon,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of wind,
Depth of Sea,
Stability of earth,
Firmness of Rock.
I arise today
Through God's strength to pilot me,
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me.

I'm American born to two Black Parents. I feel a great amount of pride in myself, and the gains of all Black's around the world, but I also feel shame about some Black mindsets that still seem to remain from slavery. They'll go away though.

canikickit,
might you call it a "stronger connection" to ireland, rather than pride?
I've been asleep for the last month, sorry. I think that is accurate, amybe. I do feel a strong connection with Ireland.
Nicely put. However like i said above, I believe our nationality can shape the person we become.
That is solely due to the fact that culture is a part of a nation. hmmmm....
Not neccessarily. I live on an island. Also I know people who live on the British ruled part of this island who consider themselves Irish. Like Ciaran B (I presume). Nobody should ever forget that there are two meanings to "nationalism". One is inherently racist, the other just means you like a place, the place where you reside.

I do agree that nationality can shape who we are but in history, nationalism has become more of a danger and connected with racism that us being proud of our culture and that is one reason I oppose it.
There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror... --- Mark Twain
born in shetland, moved to aberdeen, back to shetland, back to aberdeen again lol. My mum is from aberdeen, her parents are english, my dad is also from aberdeen as well as his parents, all other relations on my dads side are shetlanders though.
I love shetland... im proud of... what i suppose is what you would my "culture". I love the doric language... which is shetland and aberdeen, but i dont know whether it is "pride" as many people have said before me.
I dont wanna lose my heritage, and "culture" (of sorts) from shetland.
But im def not a nationalist... i just love where i was born. Does that make sense??
Both my parents are English, but oddly enough, there's Irish blood in both of them. I'm 3/32nds Irish, and I think it shows when I go out. :biggrin:

"The proletariat, when it seizes power [...] should and must at once undertake socialist measures in the most energetic, unyielding and unhesitant fashion, in other words, exercise a dictatorship, but a dictatorship of the CLASS, not of a party or of a clique -- dictatorship of the class, that means in the broadest possible form on the basis of the most active, unlimited participation of the mass of the people, of unlimited democracy." - Rosa Luxemburg

I love culture and only engage in the national question as far as it is a democratic question. I am particularly partial towards a plate of Irish stew followed by an Irish coffee and endless pints of guinness and some Irish music in the background. Thats a good day out.
Man's dearest possession is life, and since it is given to him to live but once.He must so live that dying he can say, all my life and all my strength have been given to the greatest cause in the world, the liberation of mankind

Muriel Spark:
If I had my life to live over again I should form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practice, as it were, the remembrance of death. There is no other practice which so intensifies life. Death, when it approaches, ought not to take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of life. Without an ever-present sense of death life is insipid. You might as well live on the whites of eggs.
