As you can see, if you like Rock you'll have to admit the best was the British :D Please try to keep your list to 20

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).

Football (only sometimes :p)

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 :(

    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
    • I made a new Cinematic/Trailer for the game, this will be the intro, still a work in progress!  I also updated the Steam page with a ton of new screenshots! 👀 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3925340/Incoherence_Dark_Rooms/
