All flags that use three colours (specifically blue, white and red) are terribly dull.
Those are the three best colours. All the countries that got to pick first chose those. Everyone who doesn't have those colours is obviously in the second division of cool.
We are having the latest round of angst about whether or not to change the NZ flag, spurred by the recent Rugby World Cup. We have a flag that is used by sports teams and some historic military units called the Silver fern which is usually the frontrunner

It's cooler to have independent thought than to copy your colours from every other nation doing it.
Only other country to use the same colours (and the shades) as Sweden is Ukraine.
An adaptation for the traditional flag for Ulster.
However the Official Flag was suspended in the 1970's, and the Red Hand of Ulster has kinda been co-opted by aspects of the Unionist/Loyalist community, so it's possible if we ever get an official flag again, it won't be that.
So we get stiff once in a while. So we have a little fun. What’s wrong with that? This is a free country, isn’t it? I can take my panda any place I want to. And if I wanna buy it a drink, that’s my business.

To quote the movie Barbershop - the only thing giving every black American $100K in reparations is going to do is make Cadillac the number one dealership in the country. The only reparations I'd support is free higher education for all black students with a 3.0 GPA. More doctors, plz.
yeah why can't we destroy this colonial capitalist empire slave state and go back to the true noble society of Dahomey just like Polanyi says who is a very smart liberal who knows what is best for Africa and the world

Shit. I've had this gift for Mrs. Bogart boxed up for weeks now and still haven't actually posted it. I really should try and remember to do that today.

and then people get more offended at the thought of using a Maori design than one that's primarily associated with sports teams
and by 'people' I pretty much just mean "old angry white people that write letters to the editor"
Yes, I like the look of this. I want this flag as our new official flag.

The Queen visiting Australia again, and the number of people who came out to see her, has been touted by monarchists here as evidence that Australia isn't ready to be a republic
to which my reaction is, "what, she's a fuckin' celebrity, of course people are going to go see her"
It'd be a different story if Charlie were the visiting monarch. I can think of very few people who respect him in the way they grudgingly respect Liz.
It's been said that pretty much, until Liz dies, the Republican movement won't get the footing it needs
Which I agree to, really! Probably just not having Charlie on our currency would be reason enough to just skip to the glorious people's republic of Terror Australis

Two possible designs for an Irish Nordic Cross Flag.
Here it is.
edit: the shade of blue is so pretty and compliments the yellow perfectly
that's what you would say before you got your head chopped off like three times

So only white people have committed genocide, slavery, and colonialism? Huh.
I guess every history textbook I have ever read has been wrong.
