i find it really unpleasant when people start to display enormous amounts of national pride..
there is nothing unique to any country.
nothing.
some phenomena are wonderful exemplars and by-products of certain cultures and in some places they may be present in higher volumes, but to swell with pride is.. well.. i don't like this mindset. i don't know why, exactly.. there is a strong tendency to discount others when you not only look to but are severely proud of your own..
i think a better attitude is to be proud of the actual product rather than its source
