OK, a little advertisement... In case you didn't know, Croatia today celebrates its Statehood Day. On 25 June 1991, Croatian Parliament declared independence from SFR Yugoslavia, as a result of the earlier referendum in which 93,24% of the citizens who voted, voted for independence.
Although there was a moratorium on the decision (the Independence Day is celebrated on 8 October), this day marked an important step towards fulfilling the centuries-old Croatians' dream of a sovereign homeland.
Rant ended. Živjela Hrvatska!

I believe most of us are. Some - a vocal minority - think that it's disgraceful and primitive to be a patriot. They like to make fun of war veterans, mock people who wear crosses, compare patriots to Nazis and fascists... Are there such individuals in your country/ies?

I'm not patriotic but have no objection towards those that are. One of the outings I like best is to go to the USA for the 4th of July celebrations when patriotism there is in full swing.

If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home.

And they didn't "cease to exist". At least Croatia didn't - it was a state within the federation of Yugoslavia from 1943 (1945) to 1991. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SR_Croatia
There - for those who complain about "socialism", we had a real one.
