To be proud of your citizenship is to be a Nationalist. I'm not a Nationalist but I am proud of Canada when Canada makes tough decisions based on the will of the people. I am proud that Canada can stand on its own two feet and not be swayed by the super power to the South.

I am definitely not proud to be a member of the human race. It seems that I spend alot of time trying to overcome some of the baser, human instincts. When you look at the crimes against humanity by other human beings, how can you be proud?

I think pride is a personal thing. You are either proud of yourself and your conduct in this life, or you're not. How can you be proud of your country when you have had little to do with its history and you are only there by chance of birth?
