Now this is mostly an American trait, but it's open to all walks of life. I'm talking about the strange habit many nations have of being proud of things that they just.. well shouldn't be..

Like how America seems to be proud of this:

That's Vietnam, so you know.

and this piece of FUG

Also.. Sweden are proud of these dude:

^ I agree with tegan on credit scores, I never understood the American desire to amass as large a horde of wealth as possible, but do nothing with it.

I'm proud of mega farts... =[



Hmmm, what dumb things are people generally proud of...

Bedpost notches. Gross. XP Nothing wrong with multiple sex partners as long as you respect yourself and aren't foolish about it... and having lots of sex just to boast about having lots of sex is dumb.

Gross plastic surgery. Heidi Montag being a perfect example. Meg Ryan too.

Prescription drug abuse. Yes, there are people who are proud of the number of vicodin or codeine they can take at once without feeling any effects.

Adventure stories! They can be fantasy, modern, sci-fi, all kinds! Give me some good world travel stories and I'm all over it! I also enjoy romance stories and even though I tend to play females I love playing gay men.

I'm assuming you're also including myspace/facebook friend counts? "Oh look I've got 120,320 friends but I only know like three of them in real life."

Also guys that work out too much. "I'm proud of the fact that I look like a garbage bag stuffed with meat." Nothing wrong with a little definition but when you look like the powerthirst guy, you have a problem

How is that something to be proud of? I would be pretty pissed off if I abused a drug for recreational purposes and then didn't feel anything.

The real sluts measure success by the number of broken bedposts... Whores.

People who are proud of their own retardedness...Ex. this dumbass who got kicked out of the army when I first arrived in Germany for popping hot for cocaine.
