	Clive  #503800  Tue, 22 Apr 08 12:46 PM Hi, In my country, we usually don't speak of such things or assign such labels to people. We are patriotic, but such feelings are normally considered personal and private.

	Tanit  #503832  Tue, 22 Apr 08 01:49 PM We don't really use words like patriot and patriotism, unless we are talking about the second half of the 19th century, when some wars wars which led to the unification of Italy were fought. What's more, these words seem to have gained a slightly negative connotation.    Tanit Joined on Mon, Jul 31 2006 In the middle of the Mediterranean Sea Contributing Member (1,678) A man can do only what he can do.

Otherwise, you can see patriots in movies.    Kooyeen Joined on Thu, Dec 22 2005 Italy Senior Member (3,706) *Parental Advisory*Explicit Posts
