Just curious to find out how highly you all regard your countries flag. I know some people get really patriotic over these sorts of things so it would be interesting to find out the general consensus on here. Personally i'm not particularly fussed about our flag, i'm really not a patriotic person though so it's not really a shocking revelation.
How important is your countries flag to you, and would you be angry/upset if it was changed?
would be confused if scotland flag got changed, not angry.
and couldn't give a **** if the union flag changes
Yes my countries flag is important to me and I'd be annoyed if it was changed.
That goes for Scottish flag, idc either way about the UK flag.
Yeh, I should've put more options or changed it from angry if it changed, to would mind if it changed.Quote:

I think it'd be stupid and idiotic if they changed the Scottish flag, why would they need to? The scottish flag is quite important to recognize the people of Scotland, but it wouldn't be the end of the world I guess.
They are a very contentious issue here, and an important part of cultural identity here. When they removed union flag from city hall 2 years ago, it sparked full scale riots. But yea it is important to me, I hated the though of us losing our flag if Scotland went independent. And we don't really have an official northern Ireland flag, but mostly the ulster banner is used in protestant communities.
Yes it is important to me and I would be angry if it were changed by third rate chancer politicians, hence why I fly it in my garden all year round/have them on my walls and even have my phone case in it. :P It represents my history, religion, people and culture stretching back thousands of years.
I also have immense respect for the flags of other peoples (genuine flags of genuine countries) in the same way.
Yeah, it does, I would be annoyed if it changed, sure I I do get annoyed as it is when @Red; tells me her and her mates go around burning the irish flag for the lols #thugs
i'm outrageously patriotic ! i'd be more devastated than angry... my dragon <333
