a magic hyperencepalatic dwarf who can shrug off anything short of lead

.ahem.

This is not the place to be discussing that, thank you. If you would like a picture, I would be more than happy to send one to you once my scanner is up and running. Until then, if you wish to flame me, please do so in a PM. This topic holds no place for such irrelevant conversation.

Thank you.

The red diagonals represent England? Red diagonals on a white field are the Cross of St George.
I'm pretty sure it represents the Confederacy.

You mean the Cross of St. Patrick. Ireland.

States in the US have their own Anthems.

For instance, Tennessee is 'The Tennessee Waltz', and the un-official state song (and my school fight song) is Rocky Top.

Pretty much. We had our own castle though. And a giant.

Well, er, I have my own 55 acre plot of rough woods and hills and a couple pieces of weaponry and a dog... does that count as a feifdom?

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

I've not lost my national pride. you can't lose what you don't have. I'm not proud of being german and I'm not proud of being american. besides the pratical advantages of being both german and american I don't give a fuck about what I am. I can't be proud of something for which I didn't have to acomplish anything. I don't understand why people are proud to be [insert nationality]

The red cross on Florida's flag is indeed a nod to the Confederacy. It'd be somewhat odd to have it as the cross of St. Patrick, considering Florida's Spanish roots :P

...why are all the Euro flags so much cooler than the American ones? Even the ones that are just bars seem to have nicer color schemes.

Well, we've had a thousand years to come up with them, it's normal. This tough decisions take time :P

I'm not neutral, but I sincerely believe the Portuguese flag beats the crap of almost all the others. The Star&Strips, the Union Jack and the E.U flag are also very cool. I don't care too much for all the variations of the three bars, horizontal or vertical. It shows lack of imagination.
