Communist Russia was for globalization, wanting Russia
to take over the whole world. They also murdered a
lot of innocent people (even in their own country, if
the people just happened to disagree with their
government).
2. the "patriotism" that Xanatic is against, is not
always bad. For instance, I'm not from Canada.
I'm from the U.S. but I'm currently defending the
patriotic Canadians that wrote here, who are patriotic
about their country, Canada.
I think that most U.S. people are patriotic about
their own country, and they probably also know that
Canadians are patriotic about their own country,
yet we have never had a war between the U.S. and
Canada over that issue.
I think that most people accept that most people are
probably patriotic about their own country.
For instance, IF I visited China or Thailand or somewhere
, I wouldn't expect it to be exactly like the U.S.
If I visited China or Thailand or somewhere, I would
expect some things to be different, such as uniquely
Chinese stuff.
Now, I myself don't want to live in Canada (1. I like
my own country, the U.S.) and nothing against Canada
nor some other countries, and 2. Canada is just
too too too freezing cold for me in the winter.
I don't even like the weather in my own area in the
winter. (the northern part of the U.S.
I'd like to move to the southern part of the U.S.
where it's warm all year around, but then, I'd
probably be too too too hot in the summertime.
"In the summertime, we can go fishing or swimming in
the sea"-- from some song.

(England, etcetera) or the Australians are
patriotic about their own country.
Just as long as we all get along peacefully.

: Ya, Canada is really a threat to go to war with another country.......we are a peaceful folk. For us, war isn't always the answer.
