Pride and Prejudice

Pride should be about something that you do yourself. All too often I hear people say "I'm proud to be British". I believe that we are lucky to be British. We could just as easily have been born in Somalia for all we've had to do with it. You can't be proud about something you haven't done. Many times these same people are against anyone else becoming British. That's just plain selfish. Why shouldn't everyone be so lucky?
