I don't care. For me Britain/England is where my heart is and will always come first over any other country in the world.
Rule Brittania and if that makes me a racist, so be it.

[joeysteele]

It's not racist, I often feel that the word racist gets thrown around a lot when it is totally inappropriate to do so.
Nothing wrong at all in being a strong national who supports their country and all achievements possible from and as to it, whether on serious matters or in sporting/competitive matters.

You are confusing racism with patriotism, it is natural to be proud of the country of your birth

This Sceptered Isle

This royal throne of kings, this scepter'd isle,

This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,

This other Eden, demi-paradise,

This fortress built by Nature for herself

Against infection and the hand of war,

This happy breed of men, this little world,

This precious stone set in the silver sea,

Which serves it in the office of a wall,

Or as a moat defensive to a house,

Against the envy of less happier lands,

This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England

Exactly. That's what I meant.

Sometimes I wonder how fun it would be to make an account and make a load of stupid threads which basically cover the exact same thing. Anybody know of anyone who can help me work out what it's like?

Depends on context. I see a lot of 'patriots' who are actually xenophobes. Loving the country though is not racist at all, since what I perceive the country's general values to be love, acceptance, and diversity it could not be further from the truth.

I usually see you bashing this country like it's the realm of Satan himself so I'm actually genuinely and pleasantly surprised at the bit you put in bold.

I've never seen Josh bash the country?
