Only if the person is an idiot.

The first signature I used on this board did have my national flag, and my state flag as well :huh:

Not everyone views nationalism the same.

In your country you may think it is a good thing but in other countries nationism might be considered a countrolling mechanism by government. Mussolini's doctrines on fascism and the american neocon Strauss stress nationalism as a tool of unifying public support. Those are modern but Costantine undertook unifying measures in Rome with religion and requiring a national language. I realize nationalism is big in america but some countries populations have been bit by politicians using patriotism too many times.

I respect the people who fought and died for my country and the people who continue to make it better but I and many see nationalism seperate from this. I am Canadian by the way.

Huh? I meant if the person is an idiot then his or her national pride can become racism.

If the person is reasonable, then it will not.

I am neither a racist nor an idiot - but I am proud of my nationality.
