Off top of my head:

Charles Darwin.

Horatio Nelson.

Winston Churchill.

William Shakespeare.

Isaac Newton

Arthur Wellesley

Alexander Fleming

Alan Turing

Battle of Britain.

Spanish Armada.

Starting Industrial Revolution.

British Empire (controversial one).

Music (produce the best artists)

I'm both proud of the UK, and disappointed.

Musically, there is no other country that comes close to the UK in terms of influence and quality.

We're still good at sports, including football, rugby, Formula 1 and golf.

We have the SAS, the best special forces in the world.

On the flip side, we have UK politics, and it's utter ****, especially with immigration.

I am proud to be Canadian because Canada is a land filled with multiculturalism, comprised of people from all ethnicities, so much so, that in major metropolis centres of the country there are far fewer Caucasian citizens that foreign ethnicities. That takes the cake for me: Canada's wide appeal as a place where diversity brings people together as opposed to segregating them.

And of course most people have heard the "You know you are Canadian when?" My favourite one includes the one used in the Tide commercial:

?No self respecting Canadian says "let?s wait for a warmer day." -- Because much of the time, a warmer day is a long way off :p

Cheers

We're ranked 2. in the world who drink the most alcohol! F*ck Yeah! (Oh and as it turns out, ranked 5th with the most deaths from drugs(in Europe). Keep in mind our population is just 1.3million) /s

Actually at the moment theres nothing to be proud of except the most beautiful women on earth.

Really? Germany has such a rich and varied history. I've always figured I'd be very proud to be German...

I'm from a generation which was raised to be vary of patriotism. Ok, there may be one or two reasons to be proud of this country's heritage, I'll give you that - 'Land der Dichter und Denker' springs to mind.

Understandable. Patriotism can be used as a tool by those with nefarious intentions. If people rally behind something good, corrupt that "something good" to bring power to your agenda.

The US is doing absolutely the same at the minute. Blaming their woes on a demographic, all the time waving the flag of patriotism.

But such issues are a small blot on Germanic history - a once proud nation and rightly so.

I kinda am proud of my heritage, but I don't let that define me.

I am not so proud to be an american but at least it's better then the middle east or africa...

I had a German tutor at Uni and you could tell he was proud of Germany. He was keen to stress how progressive Weimar Germany was, cinema, art, literature etc. I dont think what came after should mean everything good should be dismissed.

I am proud of Australia (my birth country) because we have such a beautiful country, some pretty nice people, we're a very rich country and have a very high standard of living.

As for Austria (my living country) this is another beautiful country full of amazing history, we have a bad ass language here!, the people are very friendly and also a bit quirky and strange.

Proud to be a; Shetlander first, Scot second, European third,

Proud of the Shetland music, proud of the scots engineering and educational enlightenment, proud of the European friendliness and tolerance,

:)

Never a brit.

p.s. actually, I'm not proud, I ashamed and embarressed by the hypocrasy bigotry and intolerance I see in my so called fellow men everyday :(

    • Payday TWO!! Is 13 years old man I feel old - I remember trying it out and if I did not know I would say 5-6 years ago or something
    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
