Tbh I'm hugley proud of where I come from (London, murder city...)

As for the UK as a whole, if we stopped being America's bitch then I'd have some respect for the government.

And we have Gordon Brown as a PM (but Boris Johnson and Mayor of London which makes for it a bit...)

I guess it depends what city you live in.
I hate the weather here but I kinda like my city.
Well yeah, you're in Edinburgh, which is great.
But I'm in Dundee.
Which is not so great.

I was proud of my country until I saw the olympic closing ceremony. I worry about 2012, look how we've started...

The controversial 2012 Olympics logo ran into more trouble today as it emerged that a video promoting it had triggered migraines and epileptic fits.

I'd like to see the US evolve into a more supportive country. I'm starting to respect it, a tiny bit. Maybe in about ten years, it'll have my respect.

However, in no way will I ever have respect for Texas. x]


The color of the sala flower reveals the truth that is... To flourish is to fall. The proud do not endure.

Heaven or Hell, Let's Rock!

Like a passing dream on a night in Spring. The mighty fall at last, to be no more than dust before the wind.

I really really hated this logo. It's just silly and ridiculous in my opinion. It's all flashy and animated, but actually still it looks rubbish [and animated, it's not much better.] I suffer from migraine so it's a bad thing for me personally, too. I just think it was a bad idea in general.

Really the London 2012 Olympics are gonna fail completely (trying to top Beijing is just impossible, as well as lack of public support)

I'm sure they'll come up with the goods by 2012, China was still scrambling to put it together til the last second so it's not as if they had it easy either.
