Do you show loyalty to the country you were born in or to the country you were raised in?

No. In a country which will monitor and track its own citizens for dissidents and which employs barbaric interrogation techniques for dissidents, I cannot say that I love this country anymore. Those are the markings of a totalitarian environment, and souls born into such worlds are doomed to continual suppression and mind control. I don't know that I trust the future of this country to the government.

America.

Where were you born and where were you raised?
totalrandoman · 100+, M
America. I'm not too involved in the details, but I doubt the current direction of the country is the one its founders would've been the most comfortable with.
I show loyalty to the country I was born and raised in. USA!

Depends on your definition of loyalty. I'm proud of my country, and I will defend it if I have to, but if something starts messing it up I won't let it go, and my opinion of it may change.

That's a good answer.

@KellyHi: Many angry people that want to shoot first and ask later... Who is left?
KellyHi · 26-30, F
@MikefromEP: The people at the top.

@KellyHi: The red shirts compared too....??
Well both are one and the same, so...
@KellyHi: Um... hope for the best and hope the truth will be put into the light?

For someone with cynic in their name, you're awfully optimistic. xD
@KellyHi: I love being a contradiction.

I try to avoid loyalty to any country- patriotism is such a destructive evil

They're one and the same for me

Same country.

What if you were in a situation where it was different?

I don't know, it is hard to predict. I guess if I found tomorrow that I was born in Poland I don't imagine I would suddenly feel any loyalty towards it. I think it could be different if I knew all my life though.

My country is where my help is needed.
