There's a chap called "everyone" now? Where can i meet this bizarre fellow who doesn't spell his name with an upper-case E?

 

[islandman]

This one is pretty funny too.

I think its for people with foot fetishes.

I always like the Japanese flag.

Flags are like stamps though. Back around '89 they had a stamp with just a picture of the Earth in space.

Finally, I thought, a stamp with everyone's picture on it.

It is Latin and the motto of Man.

"wherever you throw, it will stand"

It realates to the "triskelion", the three conjoined legs, and is the symbol of Man.

Why their motto is in latin and not manx, I don't know. Maybe it is in manx and I just don't know the translation.

Is there a flag that relates to New Hampsires motto?

Live Free or Die.

The flag I love personally has a lot of meaning to me. It's the confederate flag. I was born in the south and it is something that has always called to me.
It represents who I am, some of my ideals and the freedom that I wish for.

The Starry Plough

Here's mine:

In 1913 police in Dublin attacked a demonstration by striking workers, killing two people. Trade union leaders then formed a paramilitary organisation, the Irish Citizen Army (ICA) with the intention of providing protection for labour demonstrations. The ICA developed into an armed and uniformed force and in 1914 it adopted the starry plough as its flag - the shade of bluish green used in the flag matched the colour of the ICA's uniform. In 1916 the ICA took part in the rebellion of that year. The original starry plough was captured by British forces but was returned to Ireland in 1966 on the fiftieth anniversary of the rebellion and is now preserved in the National Museum of ireland, Dublin.

In 1934 the largest trade union, the ITGWU, introduced a simplified version of the starry plough with a sky-blue field, and it rapidly gained acceptance as the flag of the Irish trade union movement and of the movement's political wing, the Labour Party. This flag continues to be used at trade union conferences and marches. Because of the ICA's participation in the rebellion of 1916, the flag is used by republican paramilitary groups. Versions of the starry plough have also been used by a variety of socialist groups. The Labour Party continued to use the 1934 flag until the late 1970s when the field was changed from blue to red. In the late 1980s the red starry plough was in turn replaced by a white flag showing a red rose - an emblem used by many other European socialist parties.
