Why do people take pride in their countries/birth place?

I honestly don't get it. It seems so stupid to pride yourself on something you had no part in choosing. It seems so stupid to give your allegiance to your country alone. I personally just cannot stand the thought of doing something that considered "patriotic" in a truly serious tone. I'll be back in like, 2 hours or so to check up on this topic and see the responses. Please don't leave me hanging. quick edit: I can see people taking defense of their country's core ideals, but so many are similar/mirror other countries that I don't see any reason to use the country as a reason for your need to defend those ideals. aaaaaand I'm back!

  • BECAUSE IT'S MY COUNTRY. MY COUNTRY HAS TREATED ME WELL, I NEED TO TREAT MY COUNTRY WELL IN RETURN. THIS IS THE RULES OF THE LAW OF THE NATURE OF COUNTRIES. TREAT YOUR COUNTRY THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED. AND YOUR COUNTRY MIGHT DO THE SAME BECAUSE IT IS A COUNTRY AND NOT A PERSON. I LOVE MY COUNTRY.
