Don't get caught with your pants down with that statement you made. If ever people will notice what you do, you have to make it professional. Otherwise it will be treated as a toy, and forever that will be your one shining accomplishment - a toy. > it's not even patriotism, it's more of self-determination, I bet you There's a lot of sides to self determination. You can choose to leverage your work on someone else's striping out what you don't need and putting in what you do. Indeed that's what i do with my own distro, and by no means do i loose my self determination when i adopt other peoples work. The nice thing about open source is that it's totally legal to do so. > will feel proud when you see a Philippine-made Nuclear-capable Mobile > Guided-Missile system being paraded at Luneta someday.

Shades of national pride and being awed by the weapons of mass destruction my country has developed by itself, to destroy the enemy! Indeed i would not be proud but be ashamed, that such a thing was developed instead of solving the problems of hunger and poverty. No, i will not feel proud of such an achievment. Sorry. As for "belonging", i belong to the HUMAN RACE, not some shady and emotional concept such as nationalism. > and who is dido and what is his authority about patriotism?
