Patriotism- what does the word mean to you?

Charlie Flowers | 22.10.2010 19:45

You probably know who I am (it's probably all wrong)-
We just had a little debate on one of our Facebook groups about the definition of patriotism. What does it mean to you? For example, if you're proud to be Irish, you're an Irish patriot. If you're proud to be Chilean, you're a Chilean patriot.
What if you're proud to be British or English, what does that make you? Does it make you jingoistic or a fascist?
No foamers please :)
