Do you ever feel loyal to another country?
928101
You may feel homesick to your origin and you feel torn between this origin and your homeland "USA". However, would you like to live in the country of your origin? If so, what prevents you. At least you would enjoy both being American and living in the country of your origin. However, how can you put your hand on the plow and look behind?

I am most proud of our UNITY.   \n\nYes, even though we fight, differ, and quarrel among ourselves religiously, racially, and economically,  we are strong against outside adversaries. We forget our personal differences, and meet problems head-on as a TEAM... a truly UNITED force.\n\nKnowing that my neighbors and strangers are there to protect me, to protect our land, and to protect our future rights and privileges makes me very PROUD to be a citizen of the United States of America.\n\nI think your question is an excellent refresher for citizens of ALL nations to consider about their loyalties to their country. \n\nThanks for asking.

Yes! Change and missing your family/friends can do that.The familiar is comforting to some people. You can find others from your country and make new friends to minimize that feeling. If possible email or write frequent letters back home also. Peace.

i would be willing to move to a distant country for someone that i was IN LOVE WITH; not just someone i loved. also, i have been to asia and europe and realize that the world isn't as big as i thought it was. i don't think that moving to a foreign country would necessarily mean that you wouldn't be able to see your friends and family again. you just may not be able to see them as frequently.

I see where you are coming from very clearly.   And I must say I agree with you completely.\n\nYou are asking us to put ourselves in the shoes of  people from other countries and ask ourselves, how would we like to be treated as we are treating people of other countries.  \n\nI would feel that I was being taken advantage of, humiliated and completely disrespected.  I would also feel someone was trying to take over my land and its resources as well as my way of life.  I would also be able to tell that they were hiding their true intentions behind things like democracy, and a war on terror.\n\nI would not be a happy camper and would probably resort to defending my honor and people against the invading force.\n\nI'm lucky I am not from another country !

Not enough information in your question to be able to say if I would feel threatened.  It would depend different things.  Is the leadership of the country hostile?  Do they say they want you wiped off of the map?  Is the leadership of the country trustworthy?  Does the leadership of the country have respect for human life and human rights?  Is the country stable?  There are a lot of things that I would need to consider to decide if I was threatened.

I think yes. For me, I feel very much connected about my culture, my family and my background.\n\nMy family and the society I grew up has formed my personality and made me what I am today. Without that, I would make different choices in my life, so I believe it does very much influence my future.

I am in the military, and while i admit its not the best job in the world i would still do my time and serve my country. But once i am out however it would be a very different story. The way that i wouild look at it is, I have done my bit for king and country and now its my turn to get something in return

honoring the country you live in.

I'll never understand why someone who risks his/her life to leave a country while leaving everything (sometimes including family) behind would actually have some allegiance left to that country, where they had it so bad.\n\nThat is beyond belief.

We can sometimes be spoiled brats.  Rightly or wrongly most of us grow up thinking we live in the greatest country in the world, not because of who we are as individuals but because of our institutions and our history.  We naively expect the entire world to feel the same way and for everyone to "love" us.  I suppose it is kind of an insecurity, possibly because we are this melting pot.  I think most countries with single strong ethnic identities probably don't suffer from this insecurity.  They are who they are and they just don't care what anyone thinks.  Americans get this attitude but in a different reactionary way.  Trying to give an example:  The French say might criticize America for something it's doing in the world...and it feels no embarrassment about doing so...they are perfectly justified in doing so.  However after this "affront" we become insulted...kind of get our "feelings hurt"....then respond with a kind of beligerant screw you attitude.  I suppose we come off kind of whiney at times like that.  On the other hand it seems that other countries aren't quite as "thin skinned".  So I don't think it's an inferiority complex...but I think it's a bit of over concern with image.  I think we should just do what we do and quit worrying about what people think.  Personally though I have to admit that i'm becoming weary of the weight of all the worlds problems and if the world wants us out of them maybe we should just get out of them...and let them deal with it all.  Seems to me like we are only having our entire economy destroyed by dealing with the rest of the world anyway..so shut the borders...bring all the troops home, cut off all foreign aid, no more trade, sit back, and carry a big big stick.  Maybe then the rest of the world will find us acceptable.\n\ntruthseeker...you are seeking anything but the truth or if you are it's to seek it out and destroy it wherever you find it.

No. When your home team is not playing you naturally pick a favorite. It could be because you have some affiliation to that other Country or just because you enjoy their game. I'm Portuguese and when we are not in the finals I like Brazil (we used to be the same country and speak the same language), but I've also picked other teams, like Argentina in 1986 or France in 1998 because they played a beautiful game.

Depends -- I do love the mosaic of people who make up the population of countries like the USA & Canada.  I don't like it when they bring their problems here or define themselves entirely by their departed country.  My parents become Canadians when they left thier country to come here and didn't define themselves according to the country they no longer wished to live in.  Seems that some just come here for whatever they can get out of it without showing any allegience to their new home.\n\n(& yea, your link doesn't work, so my answer might be a little more general than what you were looking for)
