The heraldic cross pattée was sometimes used by the Teutonic Knights (though their more usual emblem was a plain straight black cross on white), and later became associated with Prussia and the 1871-1918 German empire, and continues to be used by the German military after 1918. A version of the iron cross is used to date by the German army (Bundeswehr) as its symbol and nationality marking and found on vehicles, aircraft and publications.
The world would be a much better place if Bowser had won.

An of course I love the elegance and simplicity of Finland, but that just might be pride of my heritage:
Don't even get me started on the South. I live here, and can assure all outsiders that there's no special charm or character to be found. It's simply a cultural failure, which should have been allowed to decay into obscurity than exact the cost of War and Reconstruction.
WORD!!!
I'm half Finnish and I love Finland!
Japan is awesome too.
And for any aesthetical needs check out the Byzantine Flag people. Nice!

The confederate flag is lame. Even lamer is some people still think the Civil War is going on.

i'm from texas, i'm fully aware of how lame the south is and never intended to live there again. people are friendlier there, but it's just so backwards, dull and homogenous.
