That's because being born in America is the best thing they ever did imlad Send a noteboard - 05/07/2013 07:04:54 PM

But of course I think it is about the silliest thing in the world for someone to take pride in some accidental fluke. Pride is something one should take in one's OWN accomplishments.

So yeah, pride in the place you were born makes about as much sense as taking pride in the fact you were born a man or woman, black or white or other color, gay or straight. NONE of those are something YOU accomplished, so on what grounds do you take pride in it? It was a fluke, not something you did.

Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.

You'd have to list the study Isaac - 07/07/2013 12:10:13 AM 836 Views
Every study. ranagrande - 07/07/2013 01:14:48 AM 822 Views
