-If you're obsessed with your nationality you must be Italian. Where are all the non-Italians? Courtney? Where did you go?

hunkpapap Aug 22, 2004

oh man i know! Everyone is like why aren't you proud to be italian? I'm like cuz i'm not...

aviator Aug 23, 2004

I seriously think proud of your nationality is dumb. Thats like saying "Hey I'm proud to be right handed"

perrin perrinOG 2004

Well I can understand someone in the world being like that but when a witness is like that I really can't figure out why.

originalsnob originalsnobOG 2004

Really don't think it's about being a biggot or anything (in many cases)
Some people simply just appreciate the different offerings of whatever heritage they share (the food, the kind of charateristics, the language). Becuase we're all different... each one brings something different to the table (who we are is made up by many different facets including heritage).
Example: A lot of comedians use heritage. Jerry Seinfeild used it a lot in Seinfeild he decided to portray the "tyipical jewish family" as he understood it to be. This was funny because other veiwers that shared that heritage or a similar one could look at it , laugh and say "IT'S TRUE WE ARE LIKE THAT!" in any case "whatever floats your boat" be proud don't be WHATEVER ;-)

yeah i agree with this... i love being italian! I love when people try to pronounce my last name, and fail utterly. I love my grandma making enough food to feed an entire country when we come over for dinner. There are so many things that make you appriciate your heritage... and i dont see any problem with someone feeling that way... but yeah, like ya said snobby, to each his own.

perrin perrinOG 2004

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with being proud of your heritage I'm talking about those people that are overly proud of their heritage and are always bragging about it and feel the need to constantly mention it and bring it up.

I say we fight until someone...gives up and doesn't want to fight anymore. Or before our significant others find out and make us stop.

perrin perrinOG 2004

I won't have that problem so I say we go with the fight to the death option. lol

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

I'll be the ref.

"I want a good, clean fight. No nut checkers. No head butts. Let's get it on!"

I'm just having some fun... I am half Italian (which overruns the other stuff in my blood)... these are observations that strike a humorous, if not true, chord with me!
