Because we don't follow the eagle up Pluto's behind, when the eagle is a blood covered piece of junk with made in china stamp on it

After all how many times have we read how you don't feel any loyalty to your homeland? That you don't feel your representatives represent you? That your government is some evil organization designed to bleed you dry?

That's like, you know, the truth. When my taxes will be spent on creating a stable economy, a modern infrastructure and a legal system we can be proud of, then I'll believe the goverment won't bleed me dry.

Well country is basically another word for community and if todays youth are trashing their own community then perhaps it's because they've been told all their lives not to have any respect or loyalty towards it.

No, comunity is a place where you live, where your fammily is, where your friends are, favourite pubs etc. etc. and it can extend beyond borders. Subsim is a comunity, but it's no country. A country is also no comunity. I don't pay taxes to my community to be syphoned by community leaders.

And when it comes to loyalty, I'm not a dog.

Now excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom and wipe my arse with our flag. It's nice and silky soft for my hemeroids.
