Minoue -- I know, right? That's what I kept saying. It's insulting to the million some people who might be from that nation, being hated without ever being known.
The Fool In The Valley -- From what I know, in mot of the ex-Soviet states and other surrounding nations, Russians are not popular. It's pretty bad in Estonia and Latvia, where they even offered last name changes to sound more like ethnic Estonian or Latvian names because Russians weren't being given jobs or anything. I'm not talking about Russians from Russia, Russians who have grown up in Estonia and Latvia! Lithuania is the only Baltic nation not to persecute them much if at all in most places.
Slightly off topic but relevant: Lithuania recently shut down its Russian-language news broadcast, which was only a few minuets a day, and who did the Russians blame? The Polish. XD -Thought that was wonderful but that might just be me.- A Russian said "Now that there are so many Polish immigrants, the Lithuanians want to be fair. There is no Polish broadcast, so they were afraid that the Polish would complain."
Kitty the Ninja Pikachu -- If you like your country because of a character, you sound like one of the 'bad fans', no offense. I hate the fact that we're STILL at war, I hate the fact that Obama lied about bringing our soldiers home, I hate a lot of things about this nation's government. And a lot of nations hate us because of it too. So no, I am not too fond of my nation right now, not enough to be proud of it. In the past, yes, but not right now. I may love the character America and love that he tries to do the right thing, but I do not like our actual government.

sorry, let me be a little more specific on why I like the US
the country has quite an interesting history, ex. the Revolutionary war, when they were winning their independence from England (they've really gone through alot) also, there were all sorts of interesting americans who made big differences here, like those who were fighting for their rights, such as nonwhites, even women. their freedoms, such as religion and free speech
I hope that's a good reason to admire one's country, I apologize if I sounded like some sort of moron, by not being specific in my reasons sweatdrop
