I can agree with that..but like you said it'll never happen.Originally posted by THE BOUNCER View Postdo you not agree that the world would be a better place if we all worked together and viewed each other as a "team" on the same side? its not going to happen but would that not be a good thing?
when you watch football..do you root for both teams to win?

Who cares what I gain or my country gains from it. That's a very selfish way of thinking isn't it? The world gains a lot if we get over this absurd nationalism that was pounded into our brains as children. "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the blah blah blah blah..." So ridiculous to make children do that.Originally posted by lipripper View Postso we should all just be like a bunch of beans in a pot and be happy with that?
so why are you happy thats going away..what benifits do you or our country gain from that?
Most people don't understand this concept until they start traveling and see that other people in other countries aren't that much different than we are. They all go to school, go to work, have insecurities and anxieties just like we do. But then their chosen leaders can make us hate one another.

I think it's kind of rude/disrespectful to discount the picture. If something is honorable to someone, who is anyone else to say it's stupid? You might not "agree", but nobody is making those soldiers do anything. It's no different than other countries/cultures doing things "honorable" that we may think are silly. Those of us from military backgrounds generally think it's admirable and touching to see pictures like that, if for no other reason than just pride.

You're not there yet bro. Your brain isn't open enough to see that being overly nationalistic is detrimental to society and is the main cause of war behind religion. For me to say this 20 years ago would have been considered blasphemous but now, we can say it because there is a group of enlightened people who understand it, and it's becoming more and more accepted.Originally posted by lipripper View PostI have been to a lot of countries all over the world bro trust me.

The internet has made the world a more global place and we are all one and should all be on the same page. It's going to take some time for people to come around on this concept. Especially in the south. :whistle
