I've noticed a large portion of users have some part of the US as their location, yet display a different flag. There are others who don't list the US, in their location, but mention how they live in the US, all while having a foreign flag. Are you all really that ashamed?

Maybe because they want to rep. where they are from as opposed to where they live. They aren't that ashamed if they have their state or city listed.

I would say that that are probably lots of people that come from other countries, and still use the flag from their home. Or, that people have cultural heritage from other countries, and choose to display it.

Good question. I used the Irish one because my parents are from there, however in debates when I've spoke to people I got the old your Irish not British (I have a British passport) so I thought fuck it my signature can represent my roots and I'll change the flag to the union jack.

I have a very large St. George's (English, for the dumb) flag in my room.. do I count?

Have you ever heard the expression "These colors never run"?

I guess most US people here are living by that rule simply by keeping the flag hanging on their front porch ( making sure it never touches the ground! G-d forbid! ) and when online they use another flag to their liking for X reasons.

Cause you know .... their flag is never going to run away

Yes, it does.



I was born and raised in Denmark. I came to the US in 2003 to attend university. I'll go home soon. Yay!

Why would it mean I'm ashamed?

You know, in firefox, when I put the cursor on the flag, it doesn't show me the country. My recollection is when I used IE, if I put the cursor on the flag, it would tell me the name of the country for that flag.

Well, I don't sport any flag because I think nationalism is irrelevant.



(well, why are you looking at me wondering why I posted here? I'm South American )

Right click on flag, click View Image. Name of flag is in the address bar. Or click on properties to see the name of the flag.

Custom status users should be able to sport customised flags as well

(Although I know that would be way too much work for such little thing )

nah, 'cause then people would be putting dicks and boobs and racist words on flags, and that's just one more thing we'd have to keep tabs on.

mods should get custom TA flags though.
