    I didn't realise people did mistake it to be honest. It's quite different (maybe more so to you and I) It SHOULD be changed, I agree. As well as the NZ one.

    the union flag in the upper left is so prominant its all some people see at times.

    this one i like much better.

    Politics aside, that's actually pretty cool. So what are you doing about it? :p;)

    (I immagine it's kinda like here. No one likes our National Anthem and most foreign people don't know what it is. Have you had a poll to vote or is this just your personal preference)?

    You know what's interesting is the history of the swastika. It's been used everywhere, and still is in lots of places. Mostly a very peaceful association also. Native Americans had it also. The Nazis really destroyed the symbol.
    The swastika is a truly striking symbol and it's a shame that it is now inextricably linked to nazism. It's an ancient symbol after all. Those damn nazis... they ruin everything :(

    I saw someonne flying a flag in their back garden once. It was white but had a black swastika looking symbol on it? :confused: I guess it could have meant anything...

    probably some alternantive C18 scum flag or some aryan group
    ...Pearl Jam, a group filled with pride, passion, and intricate musicianship. Their music is full of subtle textures, rich color, soul-searching power, imagery, and eerie dissonance.

    I like Canada's flag. personally I like how simple it is...and then it doesn't have the whole "red for the blood of the forefathers" kinda vibe...it's a leaf. a red leaf.

    = awesome.

    I also like Kenya's flag - but it's a little busy to be the top flag.


    the Scottish one always made me think of ketchup and mustard.

    tho I do agree that using the term "rampant" in a flag name is pretty rad.

    I would like the Scottish flag better if it had thistle or something more natural.

    *as for the swastika - it is a beautiful image, that has been forever ruined by the Nazi's...very stark and simple.

    that being said, I dont like the American Flag. it is boring. the one with the 13 circle stars was better, but it would have been cooler to have that blue field in the center and the red/white stripes behind it...

    OH what is that country that has the tree? it's like a tree in the middle of their flag...I liked that one.

    well kelly generally all my posts are my personal opinion and preference. :D

    we'd need a referendum to change the flag and we cant even agree on becoming a republic, so changing the flag will cause all manner of angst and handwringing and bogan displays of national pride by draping the aussie flag around shoulders and half naked male bodies(probably intoxicated).
