HMMMMMMMM mabye the constant state of civial war that has taken place up untill recently has something to do with you not wanting to take pride in being Irish?

I said :

I never have to assert my pride in being Irish.

not that I don't take pride.  Just to correct you, it wasn't a civil war. It was about one country controlling a piece of another.  I have plenty to be proud of about my country plus a few things I hate.

Name another coutry where 100s of people die every year trying to get INTO. I can name quite a few where people die trying to get OUT of.

100s do die trying to get into Europe every year for much the same reason people want to get to America.   The coasts of Spain and Italy have been the scene of many tragedies where boats full of illegal immigrants have sunk.  People have died trying to get to Ireland and Britain from France and Belgium. So does that count Edbert?

I agree with nuke

...it's hard to argue with success.   We are a good country

But maybe someone could explain why you need to say it so much. In most countries it's implied more than said. I'm genuinely curious. It's an almost uniquely American thing.

lesser of two evils, do you think these folks would come to the US if they had a chance?

They'd prefer SK over china but that darned DMZ thing makes the walk a little tough.

That's because you're ignorant.

...and you're a big fat poo-poo-head...my isn't this mature!

Well, it is France Sure it does, how often does this occur? I thought travel between the two was cheap and easy. It was when I took a Ferry from England to France and then back again from Netherlands to England. Didn't even have to show a passport.

What does that have to do with it? Yes ... of course immigration is a US only problem. Ignorant.

What it has to do with is there are people living under oppression all over the world looking for a better life.

I never said that it was a immigration problem, you did.  

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."

I think the door should be open to all seeking a better life, but closed to those who wish to do us harm.

oh, and since you want to take this to name calling, your a punk bellybutton *****.

America, in two short decades, allowed my famly to go from destitution to wealth, from oppression to freedom of speech and action.

Notice I say 'allowed'... Because you get what you work for.

Inspite of all the problems we have here, I'm proud to be an American. More proud than I ever was of my native land. This is the nation we chose, not were born into, and if I had to make the choice again, it would be the easiest decision of my life.

Makes you wonder why so many of these foreign folks get
their panties twisted because someone takes pride in their
country.  Did Nuke's post denigrate any of your lands?  

     Apparently the only country whose culture is not worth
visiting is the one where virtually everyone in it is a decendant
of all the other cultures which you find superior.  That's very
strange to me.

     It's also more than a little humorous to hear folks with no
clue about American life castigate Americans for not
understanding their little part of the globe.

Cannot deny the USA is a good country, can't get enough of it myself. But why the constant need to assert it?

Either the Americans are so insecure that they constantly need to "pat eachoters backs" with these kind of posts.

Or

They truly belive they are better then the rest of the world.

We are better than the rest of the world.

Except at soccer.

Why don't you ask the question of why much of the rest of the world is in constant need of pissing on us?

Perhaps patting our back is just a reaction to that.

God bless those tits on your avatar, tailor made by an American plastic surgeon.

Its good to proud of you country, it prolly means that you live a good life.

The borderline between seeming proud and arrogant is very thin, and it is easy to get the wrong message when you belong to another culture.

That's because you're ignorant. Thousands of people even flee to China (from NK). In Europe hundreds die every year trying their luck in freight containers, cargo ships or small boats fleeing from Africa or the Middle East.

The one who consistently shows ignorance is you by your personal attacks on people who's opinion is clearly more valid than your own.
