Is state pride stupid? (Time out:0 days after 29-04-2003, 23:10)
Yes... put away your flags, morons!
No... Don't mess with (insert state here)

Yet another reason to hate Maryland!

In reality I like Maryland and I actually lived in Baltimore of six months. The bay was really nice and the sea food was great (I loved the soft shell crabs especially deep fried with lots of butter). Another upside is it was really easy to get laid there; the downside is the city has one of the highest STD rates in the country. If you're visiting then pack a "rain coat".

-The flag he proposes has the words "In God we Trust" on it. To me at least, that seems to violate the principle of separation of church and state.

Here we have a joke:
The only good thing to come out of Yorkshire is the road to Lancashire.

I never got it. I know plenty of nice Yorkshire people and plenty of terrible Lancashire people, and vice versa too. Where you're from doesn't make a difference; who you are does.

IMO, we're one country. I was born in Illinois, I live in Illinois, yet don't feel any inherent loyalty to Illinois. I don't fly the Illinois flag. And frankly, I think state pride is stupid. People from certain states, which I will not mention, take great pride in their state. Some even think their state is a different country. So... is state pride stupid?



You don't think anything is worth taking pride in, so this is little surprise.

On the positive side, if pride does indeed goeth before a fall, you're safe.

That's funny, I find the same thing with the term "illogical", except there it often just means "I don't agree with it, but I don't really know why".

Actually, only half of Maryland is stereotypically rednecky, thank you very much. It's called the eastern shore. I'm on the western portion. And even the eastern shore is cleaner than NYC.

Not an american myself but I have lived long enough in the States to understand the idea. It's a definately yes for me. The times where the States were of significance has passed.

So long...

I couldn't agree more! (I'm in Ontario.)

Why would anyone think pride is stupid?

Pride is something that drives us to do better, to have goals, and to accomplish something notable.

Humans are communal creatures, so we naturally have pride at the different community levels as well - that is only natural, and admirable, I believe.
