Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you?

-

Patriotism is a meme that is as silly as religion. It starts with the assumption that one geographical location and culture is somehow inherently preferable to others.
The only quintessential human quality that separates us from many "animals" is the sense of empathy for one's fellow humans. And sometimes it spills over to be empathetic to other living beings.

Patriotism, communalism, religion, etc. are ideas put forth by the powerful to control hoi polloi. They succeed well in controlling the mindless masses, as easily as advertising controls the wealthy...
The bottom line can we continue to be patriotic despite the corrupt leadership

INTERACTION FOR THE DAY Good question. Well—3 years are candidates for being a year I’d be willing to repeat, but do something differently:.2013.2014.2016. What is it about these years that I’d be willing to relive any of, them & make changes? These were the years I knew an unbelievably pretty, cute girl, that I almost certainly regret my situation with & want to change. 2013 & 2014, well, that school year was when I originally knew her. I could relive the entirety of either of these calendar years & make it so that I don’t maintain shyness around her the entire school year, ESPECIALLY when she was seemingly kind to me. Granted, if I selected 2013, well, it wasn’t until late/fall 2013 when I first met her, so I’d have to wait 9 months, but in all honesty, it’d be unquestionably worth it in 2016. Now this is a long story, but I’ll try to keep it as short as possible (this is related to the girl, just a side note): In the 2014–15, & 2015–16 school years, I, having bee...

Senator Godswill Akpabio, the President of the Nigerian Senate, recently made a significant assertion regarding the anti-corruption stance of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

Throughout his eight years in office, his administration implemented several policies aimed at curbing financial malpractices. These included the Treasury Single Account (TSA), which centralized government revenue to reduce leakages, and the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS), designed to eliminate...
