grannywils Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 We have had lots of threads lately on Nexus that have lead to debates somewhat unrelated to the original topic. Nothing wrong with that I guess; but it has made me wonder what people really want to discuss. We are obviously comprised of many thoughtful folks whose politics are all over the board. We come from many parts of the world with a variety of governmental structures. I would like to start a thread that we can keep positive if at all possible.... Can you just say what country you are from and name just one thing about that country that makes you proud. Please don't name all of them or name those that do not make you proud. Try to keep it simple. It can be as simple as a food hailing from your nation, or maybe a historical figure of great repute. Maybe you love your nation's government or its national anthem. Whatever it is, please try to keep it relatively brief. I know in my case this will be very difficult; but I will start: Oh yes, and please let's not make unpleasant comments on what others have had to say.I come from the United States.I am proud of the framer's of my Nation's Constitution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
