COMMENTARY

jackie 28th May 2005	I think the more blindly patriotic one is to where they just happened to be born, the more chance one will overlook the gross injustices done in their name. WWII is a perfect example.
Mardy 3rd July 2005	'Waltzing Matilda' is a song about a guy who commits suicide after being caught stealing a sheep. Hardly what I would call patriotic, but it is not Australia's national anthem. I wonder how proud Ukrainians are? Their anthem is 'Ukraine is not yet Dead'
sic 6th July 2005	That survey is old - I am sure if they took it again Canada/Australia will be much higher. Especially after the sudden surge of Canadian nationalism in the past 4 years.
A.Crowe 15th October 2005	I've always said that patriotism and religion go hand-in-hand, like vicodin and whiskey, so I am not surprised to see that two proudest nations, tied at 77%, are also the two which, at 72%, trust their religious institutions the most.
