As the information given is minimal and the answer sought so vague, then any answer would be no more insightful than a 50/50 guess.

What answer would you like?

A better citizen or a more patriotic citizen would be one who serves the interests of his people the most, regardless of other factors.
Serves in what way? Contributes to the economy? Promotes national culture?
You would have to specify what you mean to elicit any sort of meaningful answer.

Thats just my opinion. And thats very general.
Yes, that's the problem. It's too general to be meaningful.
It's a bit like asking what's better - a punch on the nose or a punch on the chin?
It depends on whether you think a crooked nose or some missing teeth are worse, I suppose

Quote:
As to which of the possibilities qualifies for that, I am not sure!
Well, if you are unsure as to what the question is about, there is no chance I can be sure of the answer I give!

For it is certain that Ireland hath had the use of letters very anciently and long before England; that they had letters anciently is nothing doubtful, for the Saxons of England are said to have their letters and learning, and learned men, from the Irish.
