Some parts of it yes, others no.
Let's just say, now when I watch Superman (1978), I now root for Lex Luthor

Some parts of it, yes. Compared to some other 'rich' countries, yes.
Danish state citizen.FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

Im proud of the swedish history being a power back in the days, now days though not much sweden does anymore.
And of course we can not forget the vikings either.
Also have valon blood in me so proud of the Gauls i guess
even though they where wiped out by the romans, still a good job by the romans i give them that, all hail Ceasar and the Legio VII, Legio VIII, Legio IX Hispana, and Legio X

Our constitution does not permit us to be proud of our country. It's penalised.

Yes I am. Both of the country I live, and the one I was born. Both are great countries. Both have ups and downs.

As a US citizen partially. As I would imagine with any country we have our problems but we're still a lot better off than most other nations.

I'm not proud of my country but I'm definitely very privileged to be able to live in my country.

I'm happy to be Finnish.
Seems stupid to take pride in ones country, unless you have actually done something that matters. I'm pretty sure nobody in MMO-Champion qualifies, and are just proud because you won the dice roll that is the accident of birth.

Some aspects, yes. Other aspects, no.
I don't think pride is necessary so much as satisfaction and agreeable-ness. I find the US most agreeable to my lifestyle and am largely satisfied socially.

Once I thought I was proud.
Enter another country and be thought of as heroes. (The Americans are here *cheers*)
Not that way anymore.
Buncha mercs/prostitutes and so cheap. (The Americans are here *spit*)

Overall, yes. How many other countires have walked on the moon?

I am beyond ecstatic I live in America.
It's a paradise where I live, the only garbage that comes into my life comes through the TV and internet.
Am I proud? Historically sure, even though I had nothing to do with it.
I do think America has been a net gain for the rest of the world, but at the same time one it's biggest problems.

Norway. Overall yes, absolutely. We lucked out on natural resources but managed to share it among us fairly well, invest most of it for future generations and share quite a bit with others in need. For a poor country that suddenly discovered a hugely valuable resource, it went very well.
