With the US busy banning the confederate flag, Russia has seen fit to invent a 'straight' flag to rival the 'gay' one.
Is this a positive development?
If you could introduce a new flag what would it be for and what would it look like?

It can be modified upwards when we have the planets population under control.

Presently it takes two to three earth like planets to give everyone already here the lifestyle we take for granted. Responsibility needs to be accepted and taken at some point. But these things are dynamic, what is morally correct will rely on conditions at the time.

But this is derailing the thread which is about flags.

My apologies.
I'll stay on track in future.

Please can you explain, it seems that you are in the wrong thread.

Best answer so far Gromit :-)

[Gromit]

Thanks :-)

That's a rarity.

My apologies Aog. It wouldn't be the first time Aog and Og (Old_Geezer) have been miss-typed by myself.

Typo.

A trip to "Spec_Savers" maybe in order.

[Old_Geezer]

No apology necessary, I was just feeling a little awkward at discussing non-flag issues :-)

Maybe if I can not go to Tunisia later this year I'll go to Brighton beach, and then I'll need some flags for all the sandcastles.

[1ozzy]

Brighton Beach Old_Geezer?
Surely you mean "Shingle Castles".
Here I am, off topic again.
Ooops...

Cheers, ichkeria. :-)

I'm not sure what happened there : tbh I didn't mean to change the best answer from Gromit's but yours is worth a go too :-)

[ToraToraTora]

the norm does not need a flag.

I always think of the 'gay' flag as inclusive. In other words it represents straight people also
In this case a 'straight' flag would seem to be something divisive or exclusive
We can be sure that that is the intention in this case anyway
