Hats off to funtush and riddle!

I feel good being a Nepali, but NOT proud. Pride comes when a country and its people accomplish something, and the world realizes their achievement without us having to use a bullhorn. We did not create Mt. Everest with our knowledge, skill or labor, it just happened to be there. Neither did we create Buddha, he just happened to be born there.

Is America famous for Grand Canyon, Nagayra Falls and Yellow Stone??

When people can't do things, they resort to excuses. I am sick of Nepalese trying to use all these excuses to express their pride.

If you really want to be proud, donate to educate kids back in Nepal. Teach your children science and mathematics.
Let them come up with ideas, services and products that rest of the world uses.
Then you won't need Mt. Everest or Buddha to be proud of. You won't need any petitions to express your pride.
People will know your abilities, recognize and respect you.
