patriotism/nationalism
E. Spaceman:
I honestly do not care about anyone's ascendace. This means that I've never given patriotism and nationalism any thought, since they seem incredibly absurd to me. How can anyone be proud of being born somewhere if you had no choice or merit in it? It would be like someone being proud of having skin of a certain colour, which is one of the stupidest things i have ever heard of.

Did you know some of the atoms in your body used to be part of Shakespeare?
Don't you feel proud?

I imagine that there's about as many people that know they're descended from Charlemagne as there are that care about anyone being descended from Charlemagne.

my mom is really into genealogy is all, she almost cried when she found out she was descended from King Edward I.

I don't really like arguing politics, because it is like pissing into the wind. I will say that I agree with James completely, and that I feel that even though Howard probably thought he was doing the right thing his version of "the right thing" is so different to mine that it looks to me like evil. I know the guy isn't evil and it's all just opposing viewpoints, etc. However, the reason I don't argue about this shit is because there's no way anyone will change a fundamental belief that I have, and likewise there isn't really any way for me to change someone else's opposing viewpoint.
By the way, that is one of the reasons why we have a rule here barring political debate (as well as religious debate).
