Nations and Their Birth
Tomorrow, July 4th is the day we celebrate as the birth of our Nation here in the United States of America. What day is celebrated in your country and how do you feel about your Country? What makes you proud?
I was lucky to be born in my country. I do wonder what I would be like if I were born in some other country and there are many countries that may be just as good or better than my own, but still I like the wild and somewhat crazy sense of freedom and opportunity that I thought was possible here for me.
I know, but learned later, there are some ugliness in our country just like there is in many others which I don’t want to mention. We still need a home to call our own and there is room to grow here.
I will celebrate tomorrow and I will hope that we continue to expand our idea of freedom and equality for all. Happy Birthday USA.

Bloom I think there are great things in our respective countries, and some not so great that we would like to rectify, overall I feel we are very lucky to live in a land of freedom , choice, speech and education and choice of religions…
Australia i am told is very much like America in many ways even though we follow Brittain in many laws ands ways , which is after all our Mother country…….but Australia is becoming very Americanised each year.. I think a lot can be said in favour of Australia, America , Brittain and Canada…who all run on democratic lines….
Lani, We are relatively new countries and we are a lot alike. The foundation of our legal system is from England and England is known as our mother country. Americans are happy to be free but we still love most things British.
Hello Rose,
yes Rose the USA have a history of more than 300 years. All what has been established during this time formes the country but here in Europe many statesman believe in the US phliosophy which can’t be transferred on their countrys structure.
If you ask me, No I’m not proud of Germany! I was proud of the German United Nation of the 19th century, whereas I have to confess I’m not a German and I don’t feel like a German. I was born as a Prussian and my nationality leads back to the Free State of Prussia.
Today every immigrant can become a German but one can never become a Prussian unless the ancestors were Prussians. But thta will be a long story and I came strict to the point. Michael
Michael, I learned a lot from your response. Most of the world has very deep roots, and the USA is relatively new and very large, so we have been able to adapt to new ways. In some things, such as our food, it has not been good. We have to many chemicals and chemical changes done to our foods. Aren’t there still things to be proud of in your country? Prussia and Germany are so intertwined that outsiders may not know the difference.
Rose good morning to you,
you like to know more abou Prussia. I’m very pleased to serve you with this address:
Please open google and type in;
Preussen.de
You can copy this and paste it.
First you come on the main page, scroll to the bottom where you’ll find ** English ** and choose the language.
The pages will give you a wide background about Prussia which is very easy to read.
But be sure of that; you will be one of the first American citizen who be well informed about Prussia besides President Obama perhaps. Stay well and enjoy the page Michael
