It's the other way around for me. I'm a monarchist, but the way some royals behave piss me off. Take Norway's crown princess's father for instance, he's obvioulsy constantly drunk and hangs out with this hideous woman called Cowboy-Laila. Well he's not really a royal, but anyway... 
And I'm sick of hearing about it every day too.

I hate that "what's in it for me?" attitude. But it's everywhere I'm afraid.

I was for a time, however, especially after reading David Eddings' Aryanistic Belgariad (which in all other respects is a pretty good - if commercial and shallow - series).
Frankly, I'd like to see what it's like being white or black, or Native American. Who knows. It could get interesting.
But in the meantime, being a member of a race / ethnicity that dominated for 2000+ years (and likely will again) isn't bad.

Mmmh - I don't get the point in being a patriot as well as being ashamed - how can you be proud/ashamed of something which is none of your merit (unless you didn't achieve anything (positive or negative) in your life and have nothing else to be proud or ashamed of due to that...)?
Please enlighten me

Dont worry You are not alone. I have an equal number of flags (not all Russian. And none of them are spanish. In fact, they are Russian, Soviet, Chinese  ) in my computer room followed by another Russian flag, Chinese, Soviet, British, and Indian in my bedroom with the flags of Egypt and Taiwan in my first bathroom (the flag of Vietnam in my second one) and the flag of Kazakstan goes into the study room while insiude the study room I have the Japenese flag (and war flag, too!) along with Canada and Belarus and then we enter the basement (which has the MODERN afghani flag to the entrance) and there you will find an American flag, Israel, and Hong Kong.
And I love them all

 I certainly hope not. At least not in their current semi communist-fascistoid state.

I'm Dutch Canadian. Ashamed of neither, but it's not exactally exciting. My girlfriend is Polish Jewish and there is such great traditions and family-atmosphere in her culture. The Dutch aren't exactally 'big family' people. Good food, however.

Okay, so dominate is a bad word. How about "lead"?

Frankly, I don't really care. America isn't doing a great job either, anyway.

Oddly enough, the Spanish flag is one of my favorites. I like the feeling of joy the red/yellow combo inspires. You and me have quite different tastes, Tassadar.

Closer to the original question, I'd like to say I don't regret I was born Russian.
Well, maybe just sometimes

It's not pink but purple
In fact, on colour-standar CIE-1931, the lion must have a color with that figures:
Y=18.42,x=0.426,y=0.263

I am not surprised you said that. After all, the red and yellow are also the colors of the Soviet flag.

Yes, although (assuming the Spanish flag has no crest. Then my second least liked flag would have to be Poland/Indoesnia) the color arrangement doesnt look nearly as nice as the Soviet flag.

Tassadar loves the Soviet flag, but hates the Spanish one.
Fez loves the Spanish flag, but hates the Soviet one.
As for me, I love both the Soviet and the Spanish flags.
