i just find it offensive. and not to mention its rather irritating when foreigners mistake people flying it as brits. and have you seen the new zealand flag. holy shit they may as well admit themselves as the 7th australian state.
What's offensive about it? I used to think that we would be better off getting rid of the Union Jack and maybe adopting the Eureka flag or adding the aboriginal flag to the top left corner, but I think the British influence is too great here for it not to be recognised on the flag. I also think the Eureka flag is now too closely tied with the union movement.
I only lied because it was the easiest way to get what I wanted.

i find it offensive due to my irish heritage.
and yeah youre probably correct about the union connotations and the eureka flag. though i didnt actually say it should be our national flag, just that i liked it better. i prefer just a simple white southern cross on a blue background. and definitey no kangaroos. though i do quite like our coat of arms.
what british influence? you mean all the old people who still love the royal family and the people who trot out that 'our soldiers died under that flag, itd be a disgrace to their memory blah blah blah' claptrack?
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day

I ahve an Irish heritage too, so I understand where you're coming from with that. (And I was recently disappointed to hear English too.)
Nah, I completely disagree with the 'soldiers dying for that flag...' sentiment, but Britain has played a major part in this country being is what it is today and should probably be represented even though a large part of the population have no connection to Britain through their heritage.

should probably??? sounds like bad habit that needs to be shaken loose to me.
canada seems to have no problem with their 'nonbritish heritage' flag.
perhaps when we bcome a republic would be the perfect time for a new flag.

isnt the english flag just the red cross of st george on a white background?
That took me far too long to figure out! Even after reading to the end of thread, I couldn't figure out what you were getting at. Obviously I meant Britain!
that being said.. I've always liked our flag. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Flag_of_Finland.svg I like the symbolism.. "Blue represents lakes and the sky, and white represents snow and the white nights of the Finnish summer."
"Don't be faint-hearted, I have a solution! We shall go and commandeer some small craft, then drift at leisure until we happen upon another ideal place for our waterside supper with riparian entertainments."
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
...
England is the Union Jack.
...
Are you thinking of one of those Scandanavian countries?
no it is fucking not.
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

Whoa. I never knew that. I always thought the Union Jack was England's Flag.
Does England fly their flag over schools and post offices?
oops. sorry.... someone sorted it out for everyone already.
i just get annoyed when people think England is the UK... bugs the shit out of me to be honest... like when they say "england and the US won WW2." oh did they... so the many tens od thousands of welsh, irish and scottish people died for a fucking laugh did they!!!
ok.. and breathe...
p.s. how can MCKB who lives in England, is English and smells like English think that England has fucking blue in its flag

2 different people on either side (colours)...and white (peace) between the two.
love it.
that, and this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Flag_of_Greenland.svg
purely because everyone knows the country and NOBODY knows its flag!
for the sake of being unusual, this one is apparently the only one in the world that is not rectangular or square.

you must be thinking of the Danish flag(?).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Flag_of_Denmark.svg
that being said.. I've always liked our flag.
also, our state flag has a lion, which I think is pretty neat.
other than that, I like the flag of Kenya.
England doesnt have blue in it.
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
no it is fucking not.
Flanders has a lion too: http://www.azoresweb.com/images/744px-Flag_Belgium_flanders.jpg
Wallonia (another part of Belgium) has a pretty cocky flag: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Flag_of_Wallonia.svg
There's a Russian region (oblast) that has a bear with an axe on its flag too.
