I am extreamly proud of being Canadian and have no desire to live anywhere else (no offence to folk from other countries) I am from Winnipeg and and proud of our winters (which sometimes make us known as Winterpeg) the flat, long prairie grass, the wind... I could go on. I get angry when people diss Canada, but I'm sure anybody would get mad when somone dissed their home, and what they were proud of.

So into the South. Open your horizons and so much more is available. Don't limit yourself. The world is a BIG place.

I'm not limiting myself. I'm not quite sure how continuing the fight is "limiting." I've got nothing against the North, aside from cultural differences and the horrifying Northeast Megalopolis. I've got nothing against any region in particular, except possibly Europe. Too Orwellian for my tastes.

(No offense meant to Europeans. I don't hate you, I hate your governments.

Isn't Winnipeg the Land of the Three Forties? -40 degrees celsius in winter, 40 degrees celsius in summer, and 40 mph winds all year? Or is that somewhere else?

I guess I'm proud to be an American. Born here, as was my dad, and his dad and his dad. Dad did Vietnam, Grandpa did WWII. Oh yeah, I'm 100% Chinese.

Allow me to add - we fought despite all this:

If that isn't a cause for pride, I don't know what is.

It sometimes seems like a hopeless fight, trying to preserve the truth. The LIE is promoted by our government, with its massive resources. Then again, as Thomas Jefferson said, "It is error alone that needs the support of government; the truth can stand by itself."

I'm originally from SW Nebraska. People there are friendly, look you in the eye and can tell everything they need to know about a person by the callouses on their hands. Never trust a man who is wearing a tie, he is gonna try to make you buy something you don't need.

Im proud to be from the land down under. Its an Absolutly beautiful country! the landscapes are so varied yet fit together so well. There is unique wildlife like the kangaroo, koala, wombat, platypus, echidna, emu, bilby, tasmanian devil, plus the iconic dingo and brumby. And thats not including the incredible marine life! The people (for the most part) are friendly, accepting with happy go lucky attitudes and are always willing to lend a hand. There is such a diverse multi cultural atmosphere across the whole country, Theres always something new to try or learn.
Aussie Pride!

I don't like to wear shoes. My wife is from Kentucky, so she doesn't like to wear shoes. My kids don't like to wear shoes. I am proud.
