To show Arafat in the middle?

Markos said live and let live on the Palestinian flag issue, Solver.

[Solver]

That's not an answer. I think that we have an argument that just can't be proven wrong - Palestine is not a country. You can't argue. So, he either has to remove it, or admit that the list doesn't show just existing countires, BUT, this would mean Markos also can't ignore the petition to include USSR flag. USSR and Palestine are countries about equal now.

[Winston]

It's his site. He gets to decide things around here.

Not you Solver.

[Solver]

Without people, no site is worth a thing .

This, however, is the first time I'm offended by something on Apolyton - but this time very seriously. Markos didn't like those Greek/Macedonian references, too?

[DeepO]

Thanks Markos. I really appreciate it.
It took a while to answer this, but I've been looking at Belgian flags on the Internet. I'm amazed those are indeed, in many cases, square. But, I haven't seen a Belgian site with a square flag yet... which might be an indication why this is so surprising to me

Belgian government on line

Since when is giving people options such a big deal?
You don't see Americans complaining about an Afghanistan flag being in the list, or others complaining about the large number of flags not actually from a country...

[Solver]

Then give me a new Latvian, flag, too . This one, though, looks pretty good (rate).

[MarkG]

what Greek/Macedonian references are you talking about Solver? the ones i endlessly debated or ignored instead of banning/threatening to ban? please remind me the last time someone was banned for offending me

if you're offended by the Palestinian flag, first get it of the UN and then come back here

Right, you're a pretty strong person for not banning people like that, but I'm not that strong, so I'm offended. It's not the flag that offends me. What offends me is that it's listed as a country - while such a country doesn't exist.

If I bring you an official list of all the existing countries, will you listen?

[Skanky Burns]

Afghanistan is a country

Gee, really?

Mark, did you see my post on page 5 that listed all the broken flag links?

[Solver]

Oh, really . Afghanistan had a fundamental regime until recently, but it was and is an independant country, mentioned so in offical lists and international treaties - which Palestine is not.

Markos, just say these are FLAGS not COUNTRIES .

[aaglo]

Yep - the profile edit form should say "choose your flag" instead of "choose your country" , or whatever the exact words were...

[Robert]

c'mon Solver, you're really acting paranoid right now.
I'm mostly on Israel's side, but this Solver-Action really makes me laugh.

Be happy that the palestines have a flag,
go outside and burn it
