No, you like being Italian.

Your explanation please sir.

 

[skeptik]

Pride in something you contribute nothing to is not pride, but enjoyment. Do you take pride in your favorite album? Or your favorite food? If you do either of these, you're retarded. However, you can be proud of your ability to play your favorite album or cook your favorite food, because these are things that you actually accomplished. You didn't "accomplish" being Italian, and you certainly didn't further the Italian ideal in any way, so you have no grounds for having pride in being Italian, just like the rest of the people in the world. There is no pride to be felt for the birthplace of one's ancestors.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

I was only asking. But fine, I like being Italian, wait no, I love being Italian. There.

[Susperia]

It's really just common sense... But yes, he did a very good job of explaining it. *pats Matthew on the back*

Is Sean the singer of Hatebreed?

 

[metal_wrath]

Congrats Susperia,

I hope your time is well spent,

hopefully your stay will not be similar to the main character's in the movie entitled "Suspiria"...

 

[skeptik]

Shut up, idiot.

 

[metal_wrath]

Nah

 

[metal_wrath]

This isn't the love thread

 

[Susperia]

Is Sean the singer of Hatebreed?

No. :|

I thought that Jamie Jasta fellow was the singer.

 

[Susperia]

This isn't the love thread

Or is it?

Yeah ... no.

Your favorite album and favorite food =/= your heritage, they are two completely different things and on NO LEVEL should they be compared.

...all of which is fine, unless FNM does well at being an Italian, which we have yet to confirm or deny, in which case he could well be proud.

Sorry.

 

[~Neurotica]

Usually people are proud to belong to their nation because of famous people or events that created this nation's history.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Romans....facists.....get in!

....im serious.

 

[Carcassian]

The Romans are pre-genetic disruption Italians. You are a post Moor Italian.
