Isn't patriotism a strange thing? I agree with the point Richard Dawkins made once that patriotism is the kissing cousin to religious fundamentalism. Both demand that the practitioner blindly trumpet the superiority of one mode of thinking above all others for no rational reason. And both also discourage questioning the truth of the facts offered because such a thing is somehow morally wrong. I bring this up because I reviewed Medal of Honor: Airborne and some people seem to have taken it all as a personal disservice to the randomly-chosen land mass upon which they first gained consciousness in this lifetime.

    • ah yes, one of my personal favorites. yahtzee truly is magnificent.

      thank you for posting these = )

      and I see what you mean. patriotism is a fairly bizarre concept when you get right down to it. and I suppose one could compare it to religious fundamentalism, but I'd disagree that the latter requires "no rational reason" and the questioning of truth bit. really that's pegging your impression of religion on how some people respond to it. ok, maybe most people. but hey, it is possible to check your facts and seek truth while having beliefs.

      of course, that's for the people who can believe in things while thinking for themselves. does that make sense?
