Indeed not - but the point is pride in your country and your origin, not whether I am a saint or a sinner.Quote:

OMG, see what I have done :eek: my apologies for taking this thread off topic with my post. Can we go back to the original topic now, which is your favorite and your least favorite countries thanks :)
Yeah Pino, you Troll :p
Surprised nobody has mentioned Asia or South America yet.
Before coming back to the topic let's clear some facts:Quote:

Over time I might change my mind and support other team(that's a lie of course:laugh :) . My nationality will always be romanian whether I like it or not.
2. I supported Moldova for the simple fact that it's a part of Romania even if today it's still separated from us. I'd have supported it even if the singer had sung in swahili. And to be honest all the Eurovision fuss I made is just for fun, I'm not such a dilo to think we'll ever win.
3. I'm supporting my country not because I'm proud of it or happy to live here. Even in my family there are members I'm not proud of but I'll always support them ( that's probably part of greek heritage :laugh :)
4 To "be proud" of your country doesn't necessarily mean you're nationalist.
You haven't read my first post.....Quote:
