Personally, I think patriotism is the biggest load of bullshit to afflict large groups of human beings, and comes second only to religion. I dislike patriotism intensely. I prefer to avoid all forms of it.

flag burning -- your own country's flag :P hahaha you'd think i'm joking, but i'm actually not. flag burning on the surface appears to be an expression of dislike or even hate for one's country, however america prides itself on freedom of speech and freedom of expression for its citizens. Being able to burn one's own flag is an exercise of that freedom. It is the ability to exercise the right to that freedom which makes America what it is and it is what makes people who are patriotic, love America. So in a sense flag burning can be a roundabout way of expressing patriotism. :P haha ok, a bit far fetched but it was fun to try to argue this point. :D suki, if you want to spark a controversial debate, you can use my argument. You'll probably be able to spark a lot of heated arguments. lol Let's see how many negative points I get for this post. :P

抵制日货，I am kidding. I never do that 。

By saying: I love China. lol Or wear a T-shirt which printed with it.lol I bet you've seen a lot of ppl do that on the streets. (I'm simply saying what I can see. But yeah, anyone could still dislike my answer.)

Many Australians show patriotism by celebrating Australia Day, Remembrance Day and Anzac Day. Those people who have flag poles fly the Australian flag on these days.Families gather for a barbeque, some people go to the Dawn Service and the War Veterans' march held in every city on Anzac Day. At official functions and at school assemblies the Australian anthem "Advance Australia Fair" is sung . Listen to it at www.imagesaustralia.com/australiannationalanthem.htm Another patriotic song is "We are Australian" Hear it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6U9OTmLrrF0 Other people show their patriotism every day by only buying products and food made in Australia. Of course, as in other nations, not all Australians are patriotic. Since it is a multicultural society, there are many people who just enjoy the holiday.
