None of these are illegal or will get you a ticket, and there's no handbook that helps you out in knowing these type of things, maybe it was your parent's job to teach you this respect and common courtesy. Maybe as an adult, it's supposed to come to you like understanding poetry, in time. |

Still haven't gotten an answer to why patriotism is an American obligation. "Because" isn't quite as satisfying as it sounds.

So patriotism is a mere product of one's geography?
That seems rather...shallow.

Why does "because" not sound satisfying? You should be a good sibling, parent or child just "because" too. That's good enough for me. I think being patriot became a big deal during the world wars, anyway - Hitler and ideas of world domination. Is it really so bad to believe in something that you'd risk your life for it? The American dream, etc is pretty corny but still true to an extent. How about freedoms we have here that do not exist in other countries? |

There are several countries that have the exact same freedoms we do-- and in many cases they have MORE freedoms than we do

Canada has high taxes, shitty socialized healthcare, does not allow foreign workers and mandates that radio stations play at least 33% Canadian artist.
They tax the shit out of alcohol and tobacco. While they have the same basic "freedoms" its way more socialist. The other countries you listed (besides Belize because I don't know) have much higher taxes as well. |
