I love the US. There's so much to it. The beauty of its cities and landscapes is as heavily varied as its culture.

No, I was actually born in the U.S., my family moved to Japan before I could remember anything, but I have siblings that were born in Japan, and none of us have Japanese citizenship. For political reasons(it has to do with Japan's relationship with north Korea) Japan doesn't give citizenship easily if your not the descendant of Japanese people. I think the only way you can become a Japanese citizen is to marry a Japanese person, but actually I'm not even sure if that would work today.bdcjacko said:
I've spent most of my life living in America, although I lived in Britain for a few years when I was young and frequently took trips back and forth. I'd call them both my home country, and I love both of them. Though one not so much as the other. Britain has better snacks. 
But really, they're both standout modern countries and a lot of the hate America receives is, in my opinion, totally unjustified.

My feelings for the US swing wildly in both directions. I either love this place, or I hate it. It owes mostly to the fact that I'm a far far lefty, and the actions of the right often fill me with unimaginable fury.
That's always hard to say. Honestly, I would say Japan is more of a home to me (in which case I should have voted "I love it" instead of "I like it", I guess) but in the states, people don't treat me like a foreigner (which, ironically makes me feel uncomfortable).bdcjacko said:
I don't know, but when facing questions like this I usually revert to saying the U.S. is my home country since that's the one I can vote in. :/
It's.....not for me. The electricity goes out too often. The net is shitty. And it's hot as hell. Plus the society. overall is a backwards ass cesspool of anachronistic Idiocy.
.....and I'm sure that the majority of the 170 million people in this country don't mind ANY of those things AT ALL. I do. Call me an entitled snob. I might even deserve it. But that's my honest opinion.

I love Australia, the people and culture are just wonderful. Also we are one of the fat wealthy western countries so there are a lot of perks. Not a lot I can say against it to be honest - one thing I love about this country is that we remember our fallen soldiers every year on ANZAC day (25 April). Being part of a dawn service wearing my grandfather's medal was one of my proudest moments. Please take a moment to look at this site: http://www.awm.gov.au/commemoration/anzac/anzac-tradition/
I like my country,but i cant picture myself living there all my life.Sure,the culture and the people are nice,but the government and the economy is rubbish so I think im better off leaving eventually.I always wanted to move to either Australia,Canada,UK or the US.
No, patriatism is something thats always eluded me. Why a man would display such pride and affection towards a large mass of land is a mystery to me.
It's not the land, it's the country. The society, the culture, the people, and everything else that makes a countryomniscientostrich said:
Scotland...
oh, it has its flaws, but I really couldn't imagine growing up anywhere else. The people are friendly (even the neds if you get to know them) the food is tasty (haggis is the bomb, i highly recommend eating some) and the weather is really, really terrible.
Well... it's sunny sometimes too.
