Had a conversation just the other day with a German about national pride. Actually, the discussion was about whether foreign dignitaries deserve to be treated with respect or not, but it amounted to the same thing when he said:
"I don't get why countries make such a big fuss about respect or dignity. If someone came up to me and said that Germany is **cked up, I would agree with him. And if they would burn the flag, I wouldn't mind. I really don't get it.
...except when it come to our football team. Say something bad about them and I'll not be held responsible for my actions!!!!"
