Lies, damned lies, and statistics. Opinion polls don't reflect anything but how a non-representative subset of the population who have enough time on their hands to be interested in filling out polls respond to the specific question on the poll, which is often very carefully worded in an attempt to elicit a particular answer.

Blindly loving your country is an immature stance anyway. It implies you're willing to overlook its faults rather than fixing them.

I've always thought something similar, especially when I see people in some places who seem to make their country's flag their entire personality.
