Patriotism in SRO

Its somewhat stupid to me that people from different countries MUST always have some kind of suffix on their name like _Tr(turkey?) or _Ger(Germany) _Br (brazil)

What is with the stupid patriotism.. the most stupidly patriotic people in the world imo are americans ( i'm not american btw) and you don't see them doing that kind of crap...

Is it nations that have an inferiority complex need to advertise themselves?

Americans are the most stupidly patriotic? How do you figure? We fight more amongst ourselves than only a handful of other countries.

i think your wrong

when i see somebody with _NL behind the name
i can be sure i can talk dutch to him. that is easy
for the people whos english isnt that good; they can
start making new friends in their own language.

i DID notice that most of the ppl that have the
_TR, _BR, _HUN behind the name do have some
problems with the english language

@Tasdik ~ your sig still rocks :love:

i dont mind br and hun or anything. but the TR is usually followed by slm in your chatbox over and over and over and over

Ohh so you're saying its not patriotic, its just alerting people of the same tongue that they can find a compatriot right here... interesting..

Oh yeah i forgot _VN. Umm about americans being overly patriotic, it is an impression from the media. It of course cannot be proven but just the impression the media (not only american media) presents.

dude what is your problem dont make fun of the US just because you arent "American". Then leave if you dont like the US. Im not a Caucasian but I certainly do respect the US for their efforts for democracy.

You should be thankful a country like the US is a superpower, not some commie government like China or the Soviet Union (now Russia, so doesnt matter)

I'am not a racist...and i looove Asian girls :love:

Anyway, i think i know why many ppl hate Turks. Bacause there is SO MUCH them in the servers, their everywhere. Most botter are turks, because there is so much turks in servers. You go grinding and 100% that you will see turk because there is so much of them in servers.

Today i saw global msg that maked me lol'd, but it was realy...stupid:

All turks have so small d**k, that they even cant grab it by own hands -.-

I think the fact that other players add these tags to their names is to identify themselves with one group or another. It isn't patriotism, its nationalism, which is completely different.

On another note, Americans don't add US because most Americans can embrace their nationalism, as well as their heritage. I'm Icelandic and British, but I was born in Germany, and grew up in America. I am an American, but it is not my blood.

Brazilians were born, raised, and have Brazilian blood, same as with Turkey, and so forth.

Also, English is a dominant language in most games that are international, and if you can speak it, why associate yourself. If you can only speak German, add _GER to your name, so others know you speak German.

SIMPLE LOGIC --- STUPID QUESTION
