As long as people like the guy who started this thread won't be able to acknowledge other human being and fear to be associated with a group of other human beings.
You can be proud of your country, but to say that you don't want to be associated to another country without giving any argument of proper value isn't really something that should be taken lightly.
For example, if your argument was that you didn't want to be associated to a country that's currently at war, it'd be understandable.
