Quintisential Nationality?

[>Steed, John]

Which of the above would you use to describe yourself in a conversation? Just curious, you know.

 

Ta-ta.

[Darth Eggplant]

i did not vote because your poll is rather slanted.

there are 10 options you could have fleshed out

the possiblities a bit more.

 

(1)I am my country, I love it, I am everything it is!

 

(2)I am not my country, I despise everything it stands for!

 

(3)I live here so i have no choice.

 

(4)I appreciate many aspects but not all of it.

 

(5)I despise a portion of what my nationality is but not all of it.

 

(6) I am a citizen of the world and open to possibilities.

 

(7)*being a misanthrope humanity sucks, we're all doomed*

 

(8) I am still undecided as I am young and still living and learning

 

(9)I'm myself, and I rely heavily on serendipity

and Gross National Happiness.

 

(10)several of the above

 

 

if such options were given, my answer is the following:

(4)

(5)

(6)

(9)

[Ray Jones]

I know, I was just making fun of myself I actually had it just the correct way, but then I changed it, because it amused me more. Like this:

 

"Nationality is arbitrary, people are people to a great extent, and trying to suggest that one culture is better than another is pretty silly. I could make a pretty convincing argument as to why we were better off as hunter/gatherer's, and most people consider hunter/gatherer's as brutish and 'low.' "

 

becomes:

 

"We cannot condone bouncing of the 7th variety!"

 

see...much funnier, and therefore superior

[Darth Groovy]

I'm a mutt. I claim nothing.

What he said.

[>Steed, John]

Too detailled. Either you love your country on the whole or you don't. I included an option for all mainstreamers who don't really mind and an option for the average LucasForums user who doesn't remember where they live.

Not true at all. I was born here and I'm proud to be British, but I certainly don't like everything about it. I hate the Government and the Racist parts of Britain and many other things that I won't go into. There is no option in your poll for this is there? Therefore I go with Eggy's option number 4.

[Tesla]

I'm not bothered we i was born or were i live, it's the enjoyment of being alive that makes me....well...me

[Arán]

I voted for the first one because I love my country and i'm happy to be here.....

[KBell]

I like living in the US, but if i had a choice, i would want to live in Japan for alittle while. I like their Culture and love their slick and stylish streets

... I have more new found love for you. *high fives*

I like america and what it's ideally standing for. but what the government is doing i do not like, nor do I like the south. *shakes fist at texas* If I had a choice I'd choose Japan.

[StormHammer]

I'm a world citizen, and I love my fellow humans. Nuff said.

[Pisces]

Canadian and proud to be thank you very much.

[KBell]

Yes, it seems that all the people who want to get away from America for awhile seem to want to escape to Japan.

 

 

*Plus, We'd probley be the tallest people in Japan

 

 

 

*No offence to any Japanese people who actually browse these forums. And yes, I do know of a few tall Japanese people.....some

[XERXES]

you forgot the one that says "I think my president is the stupidest person in the world yet I didnt get off my ass to go vote" :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

 

god I cant stand those people.

[Lord Blackadder]

I'm English, proud to be English, a native Englishman... I love my country...

 

It's the people who run it, and all the lefty scum that live in it that I don't like!

 

 

The mood I'm in it's a good thing I don't have a clone army...

[Homuncul]

I'm russian. I drink

[>Steed, John]

I do not blame you, Homuncul. If I were Russian I would need to turn to drink. No offense, of course.

 

Thopa Elsst, if you are proud to be an Englishman, why have you given yourself such an un-English name? Just a thought... and you do not like Prime Minister Tony Blair. Oh dear, oh dear, where is your faith in your country's leader? I do agree, however - this country is being dragged into a slimy European existance. Long live the pound... in fact, long live the Queen! Give Her Majesty all the power, and see how Europe likes that!

[Prime]

Canada represent, yo.

You know, just because you say "no offense", doesn't make it any less of an insult.

Because it's an INTERNET ALIAS perhaps?

Slimy European existance? By that I take it you think all other European countries are Slimey? And by the sound of things, all other countries apart from England. Tut Tut. Do I detect a hint of racism here?
