its fine to dislike something about your country, not so fine to have no respect for it if it provides you opportunity that you could not have without it.
I am not a fan of US foreign policy either. You chose to make it your home though, therefore you should not on your own choices (or your parents) because really you on yourself. |
Government is a creation of the people, there to serve the people. Now of course you can argue that some take too much from the Government or do not contribute their part, but as a human faculty, it is not there to exist in itself; it is merely a tool - like fire, a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
Now how would you define respect? Respect in the way that you respect your war-veteran Grandfather or respect in the same way you would respect a fire? |

About to be... If i ever want to come and visit again, and i have not lived here for more than a year continiously, i lose my green card. Then getting a visa is way too much trouble. I am leaving pretty soon to go back to guatemala and get a job. I know i will come back to visit friends eventually so this is why i am getting it. |
then have a little respect for it...or don't go back.
@fahad, even if it is your parents choice, no one is forcing you to stay are they?
I do not agree with Iraq...Afghanistan i agree 100% with. Even if i may not agree with a war, i respect wanting to have my countrymen to come back in one piece.
i am eating ribs in my underwear at work. I love this country. |

i didnt do anything special yesterday and forgot a bit about it to be honest (but then being stuck in bed sick is somewhat a good excuse) but anyway WWI and II is still present in a lot of mind of people.Even me several people of my family served in the army during the wars but even after the WWII people still remenber how it was and how hard it was about it or even when france was occupied
Last week my grandpa was telling me how they were astonished back in the day by americans being in france with a lot of things locals never really saw.
i hope all this will remain for the next generations to understand fully how lucky we are to live in a country with so many freedoms and rights and that it's absolutely necessary to keep them and fight for them when anything can threaten them |

| Does everyone understand that Remembrance Day (commonwealth) and Veterans Day (US) is about paying homage to all soldiers who fought for the Commonwealth and/or the US? Whether you believe in the present war(s) is pretty much immaterial. Those that fought/fight do so because they believed/believe in furthering their countries interests and safeguarding their countrymen... they may be correct and just or they may be completely erred but you must respect the intention and the sacrifice, as they are nearly all greater men then you or I. |
