I protest!

Personally I think this forum is meant to facilitate the sharing of opinions. I would imagine the purpose of the flags is to aid that by allowing others to know where a given poster is coming from.

Thus limiting the options does no one any favors.

So I'd be willing to have a Palestinian flag as well.

One has an option to write whatever location one wants, and thus show where he's coming from.

The flag, on the other hand, is the symbol of statehood.

Thank you, as a matter of fact I will.

I wanted to protest publicly as well.

Just be sure not to call her `him' when you do.

I think the Kosovo flag should be allowed. But I also think as you say that there should be a flag for Palestine.

Ok, then bring in the flags of every region in the world that self-declared independence. That will do it.

Well, why not?

[AmusedToDeath]

Well, why not?

Ok then. Bring in the flag of Republic of Srpska too! As a matter of fact, it is internationally recognized by every country, unlike Kosovo.

And the flags of Abkhazia and South Ossetia too...

Flag of the Conch Republic would be nice.


The Conch Republic is a micronation, declared secession of the city of Key West from the United States on April 23, 1982.



--------------------------------
In 1982, the United States Border Patrol set up a roadblock and inspection point on US highway 1 just north of the merger of Monroe County Road 905A/Miami-Dade County Road 905A onto US 1 (they are the only two roads connecting the Florida Keys with the mainland), in front of the Last Chance Saloon just south of Florida City. Vehicles were stopped and searched for narcotics and illegal immigrants. The Key West City Council complained repeatedly...

When the City Council's complaints went unanswered by the Federal Government and attempts to get an injunction against the roadblock failed in court, as a form of protest Mayor Dennis Wardlow and the Council declared the Key West's "independence" on April 23, 1982. In the eyes of the Council, since the federal government had set up the equivalent of a border station as if they were a foreign nation, they might as well become one. As many of the local citizens were referred to as Conchs, the "nation" took the name of the Conch Republic.

I'll choose Conch flag if they introduce it here!

Well yes. But this is an American forum and many wouldn't know where Belgrade is except that we bombed it and they're burning our embassy.

And even then......

Of course even fewer would recognize your flag I suppose. I guess it can serve an educational purpose.
