What do you love about your country? :wub:
 
That, for the most part, we really do have enough freedom to live a rather uneventful life.
 
Well, we have an idiot party leading us, are over run with racist redneck bogans and have third world internet speeds.

Not much. Guess my family, friends, flora, fauna and natural wonders sorta helps.

In the US, you can still refer to "our dear leader" as "the Wanker" and not end up in prison.

You might find your taxes being audited, but, usually, you won't end up in prison.

22 Feb
KUWAIT (Reuters) - A Kuwaiti appeals court on Sunday sentenced an opposition politician to two years in jail for insulting the country's ruler, local media reported.

Defense lawyers said they intend to appeal the ruling against Musallam al-Barrak, an outspoken former member of parliament, to the highest court, news website alaan.cc said. Other news websites carried similar reports.

A lower court in 2013 found Barrak guilty of insulting Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah, in a 2012 speech in which he appealed to him to avoid "autocratic rule". The court sentenced him to five years in jail.

One’s relationship with one’s country lasts longer than marriage, parenthood or even a lifelong friendship. But like any of these, it can be taken for granted. Do I love my country? It’s not a question I have asked myself before.

I think loyalty. I have loyalty to my country, to its often muddled but sincere attempts to do the right thing, its inherent cheerfulness, unquenchable self-belief, beautiful countryside, and lousy weather. On reflection, that sounds suspiciously like love after all.
