As I've already said, the 'story' behind Peak Engineerings flag is excellent, it is just a shit flag.<br><br>
Oh, and I read the article, didn't change my mind. -
Ffs, give it a rest you ridiculous fanatics.

Get fucked, I made one post, that concisely makes valid arguments. Guess I should I read this entire thread first and read the vitriol.<br><br>
New Zealand is fucked, glad I don't live there any more. Good luck to you all. -

<p>I don't give a flying fuck if it supposedly uses 'pure design', I don't give a fuck if some piston wristed gibbon thinks it 'doesn't' play nice, or doesn't 'look like a flag'.

<p>So fucking pretentious.</p> -
<p>We just want something that wont look naff when it flies from our flag poles. I dont give a fuck about 'creating stories'.</p>
<p>Also i dont want New Zealand to be confused with an engineering firm from Seattle.</p> -

<p>So we want change to stop being confused with the Aussie flag, to a flag that looks like a small engineering company's logo....</p> -

What he said. In case you didn't notice, this "argument" has been repeated ad nauseam for about 10 pages now. England has a better chance of winning the world cup than Red Peak has of becoming our flag. Get over it. -

<p>Every time I read done piston wristed gibbony about red peak I grow more attached to the flag we have now. The feeling doubles when it's a leftard doing the piston wristed gibbony. Make the Aussies change theirs.</p>
