I'm anti patriotism for the well made reasons above (not by me)
I think patriotism is ok when talking about what makes your culture unique. I don't like the idea of cultures being absorbed and destroyed. the trick is in striking the balance. (or is that another subject?)
Also.. is there any country that's perfect? Seems like wherever you originate there has to be compromise. Friends have problems with me visiting France. I love the French and much about France. Yeah I don't like some stuff they've done, but I don't think this justifies a boycott.
