You can be proud of the good things your country has done or is doing. So long as you don't forget the laundry list of dodgy shit it has also done.
I liken it to being proud of yourself as a person. You can take pride in yourself and your achievements but you should never forget all the times you fucked up.

Here's are my primary rebuttals to vaccine skeptics:
"Vaccines cause autism" - so you'd rather have a dead kid than an autistic one.
"Don't trust the science behind them" - then you probably shouldn't trust the science behind anaesthesia either.
"I have an immune system, I don't need a vaccine" - You have legs, you don't need a car.
"We did okay for thousands of years without them" - We as a species didn't spend the majority of our existence crammed into cities incubating disease. Even then, we had things like the plague which killed a third of Europe.
Actually, I think I'm doing pretty well for a guy my age. Certainly better than the average. However, I could stand to do better.
I don't actually eat bacon everyday. Just because I can do something doesn't mean that I do.
Got any tips for an older gent that's looking for some gains? Not trying to look like Chris Hemsworth, but a healthy muscle tone would be nice.
