Having the freedom to move if you want, being able to start over, and with hard work you can be successful, free education which is what you make of it, if you want to learn & excel, only you hold your self back, NASA, being proud to be proud of my country. Says a lot when people can legally immigrate, learn the language, work and own a business in 5 to years years.

What also says a lot is that the USA is the one place where most people in the world would immigrate to if given the chance.

True not everyone wants to move here but its #1 on the list of most people who are looking for a chance outside of their home country.

Jake,

Made it for the race last year but does not look like I will make it this time around. Will see what happens and would love to see it again!

Otherwise get with Syl and you guys have a good time downtown with the other Porsche owners!

I am proud of Sweden still being a Kingdom, despite all the socialist bashing and republic demands over the years. Every time the Swedish people is asked, an overwhelming majority wants to keep the King, his Queen, the Princesses and the Prince. In my opinion they are the coolest thing about Sweden.

I am proud Sweden is among the safest places on Earth. Among the best child survival rates.

I am proud that, despite our relatively small country, we have a lot of wild nature and wild life.

I am very proud of the Nobel price.

I will not mention ABBA, Volvo, Absolut Vodka or Blonds - even though drinking Absolut Vodka in the backseat of a Volvo with a Blond singing Waterloo is not a bad combination.

That's the kind of people I talked about...They pis*** me off also. Again..it's a minority of fu*****ing narrow minded peoples.

Pretty much covers it all. Again, language warning.

We have Al Gore, he invented the internet!!!

i guess that especially the part that shows at 1m5 secs is right up your alley , right?

Actually 1:16 to 1:20 was more me. You're not going down the same path as 70satman & dipsheet, are you?

nah, it was just to easy... besides, i'm still a bit confused why you put forward a major sarcastic diss on America, as the best example of reasons to be proud of your country...
It would be like Sadam Hussein posting Hot Shot's 2 as mandatory viewing to all his minions,
as if, as far as making him proud of his own accomplishments, it were second only to Scud's with a chemical payload...

I think my country was first to build a production car using an air-cooled 6 cylinder boxer engine in 1960.

And no, I'm not from Germany.

Personally I am thankful to be limited more by my own initiative and intelligence than by my government. Of course if if God decides to bless me with a little more of either I won't complain......

In my country you can go on national television and call the President a liar.

Voting stations are guarded by ninety year-old women with knitting needles.

I'm proud that my country is illiterate... notice the OP asked for one reason you are proud of your country. :D

Not being forced to serve my country.

Well, in 1948 another American had that plan, and was pretty close to doing it too
Took Porsche over 40 years to do that:D


Engine: H-6 (horizontally opposed), ohv, 335 ci (4.50 x 3.50 in. bore x stroke), 7.0:1 compression ratio, 166 bhp, 372 lbs/ft torque.

I voluntarily chose to serve my country in the US Navy. Big "E" 85-89. Now, are you glad you were not forced?

I stand by my statement. I would rather take three mates with a volunteer attitude than 10 who had been forced.

I'm sorry, I misinterpreted your comment and meaning, and fully agree with you.

Damn Byron, I appreciate that. SmileWavy You are one of the very few who would post in that manner.

Now, lets argue about Lesbians shall we???:D:D:D

Term limits.

My father always told to admit & step up when I'm wrong.
Now onto the Lesbians, and they are fun:D

Speaking of lesbians, anybody here from the Isle of Lesbos? I wanna hear what THEY'RE proud of . . .

Ian

I love the fact that with as many different people, cultures, religions, points of view, etc, we still get along as well as we do. Lots of countries still are very discrimitory against certain native and non-native populations.

I am thnkfull that the USA gave France the Grape Vines after the virus wiped theirs out so that they could make all that great wine.

Ohhh and I am proud that America can let a black man and woman run for the top job in the country.

I am also proud that Gay marraiage is allowable in CA & MA.

That's as American as apple pie and waterboarding.

Whats to argue about? Byron and myself are trying to convert as many as possible as fast as we can! :)

What exactly are you and Byron doing to turn them into lesbians?

Now that you mention it... the people living on Lesbos, a Greek island have filed a lawsuit to stop lesbians from using their islands name. Seems that not everyone on Lesbos is a lesbian...

Lesbos islanders dispute gay name
By Malcolm Brabant
BBC News, Athens

The term lesbian is now widely used to describe homosexual women

Campaigners on the Greek island of Lesbos are to go to court in an attempt to stop a gay rights organisation from using the term "lesbian".

The islanders say that if they are successful they may then start to fight the word lesbian internationally.

The issue boils down to who has the right to call themselves Lesbians.

Is it gay women, or the 100,000 people living on Greece's third biggest island - plus another 250,000 expatriates who originate from Lesbos?

The man spearheading the case, publisher Dimitris Lambrou, claims that international dominance of the word in its sexual context violates the human rights of the islanders, and disgraces them around the world.

He says it causes daily problems to the social life of Lesbos's inhabitants.

Injunction sought

In court papers, the plaintiffs allege that the Greek government is so embarrassed by the term Lesbian that it has been forced to rename the island after its capital, Mytilini.

An early court date has now been set for judges to decide whether to grant an injunction against the Homosexual and Lesbian Community of Greece and to order it to change its name. A spokeswoman for the group has described the case as a groundless violation of freedom of expression, and has pledged to fight it.

The term lesbian originated from the poet Sappho, who was a native of Lesbos.
Sappho expressed her love of other women in poetry written during the 7th Century BC. But according to Mr Lambrou, new historical research has discovered that Sappho had a family, and committed suicide for the love of a man.

We have our ways and we are converting lesbians back into real women, not the other way around! Course the fat ugly ones can stay lesbian.

Probably the best post on this thread.

the fact that folks like Kach don't disappear in the middle of the night.

Rika

All that tireless devotion to your work! :D:D

They could always change their self description to Lesbitarians.

No, they just track me with helicopters.

I filled out a republican survey sent to me by the GOP because I voted republican (Ron Paul) in the Michigan primary. You have to love the country which allows you to screw up a survey of the president in power. My answers were very amusing and it was a real blast to fill out.:D

You would be surprised, & proud:D

Wrong again! We are tracking you with micro-minature GPS tracking units.

The helo's will come when the swat team (with Slo-Pat in the lead) to pick you up for shipment to prison in Afganistan....

Gentlemen, for all of your tireless hard work, I salute you!SmileWavy

Serious contribution: I love the fact that anyone can become anything in America, with the proper hard work and initiative. It really is the land of opportunity.

Dr Porsche was too busy designing the first Hybrid car.

I though that he did that in the 30s:confused:All wheel drive at that:D

As to proud, as Wayne said, there is not not enough time & space to list:Dhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1212001505.jpg

or be a White House Press Secretary and then write a book confirming that the President is a liar. :D
