We already have a flag, everyone knows it, it works so why 'fix' it ...
suck it up people, move on and get to the real problems.
Agree 100% .... move on , who cares! Im sick and tired of being fed what some editor thinks he/she thinks i need to know.
Im sick of hearing about (for example) that legless murderer in south africa , or who wore what to the whatever awards .....
I troll through all the news outlets daily , and disregard at least 90% of it ..... im not saying that if 'anna x ' wore a too short skirt to the party isn't important .... im sure it is to some sheeple
but at least get some balance in the reporting.
Re the subject (Flag) I dont care ... ive spent a good part of my life in the military , and at no point did i consider myself defending , in what ever capacity , a piece of cloth .... country yes , lifestyle ...yes . You could run a pair of grannies bloomers up a bloody flagpole it wouldn't matter ..... to me at least.... its where your from. When in uniform , it was the "New Zealand" flash on my shoulder that made me feel proud .... not a flag.
Dont think im unpatriotic ...im not , its just that there are far more important things to give our energy too .... like gangs , police numbers, emergency housing in flood /earthquake prone areas... and so on .
Just old and grumpy i guess , but as Towerguy said "suck it up "
