Popular Post willyumiii Posted January 31, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2014 I have pointed out to some young women in my village that their shirts, shorts or pants are made from the flg of my country ( USA ). They had no idea that it was a flag or what country it represented. They just think the colors and pattern are cool! It's like all of the Tshirts with English writing on them that they wear and cannot read. At a school function recently, I saw a young mother wearing a shirt that had the word "F*uk" printed on it at least 20 times. She had no idea what it said. I informed a woman once that the shirt her 10 year old daughter was wearing said " I am good at using my mouth to make boys happy" Again, she had no idea what it said until I told her. I guess it's kind of like all the Americans who had Japanese characters tattoos on their bodies and have no idea what they mean... It's just stupidity! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most famous probably being Gladstone & Churchill. Now part of the current coalition governing the UK along with the Tories (Conservative Party).

crazyguyinthailand Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Because its not just a flag, its a symbol a brand for them, and still a Dream. my gf prefers the UK flag and NR 2 USA. I asked her why?She said: Its beautiful... Good topic. If you ask me the Japanese red sun t-shirt within years is gonna fight for the 1-3 place. These I bought back in Scandinavia. and the whole shop was full of painting, boxes, pencils everything you can imagine covered with these two flags(She loves them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the design of both the USA & UK flags are way the best designs on the planet. The London Underground map is another brilliant design and now an icon also.

baneko Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Even the Vatican is less than perfect ! Far from it. But where does their budget stand on this chart? "Defense" ROFL Speaking of theme parks, great example of social media marketing: https://twitter.com/EpcotCentre Is that defence or offensive spending?

baneko Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Going back to the original topic in my village I've not seen the stars and stripes. There are union jack bags, t shirts and hats everywhere. Its a fashion symbol and most people not all probably don't know what it is. Personally you would not see me dead wearing a union jack anything. The queen being German and her husband Greek. 16 September freedom for Scotland. Then again living in Thailand I wont vote and let the people living there decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutoie2 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Union Jack, well, when flown on a RN ship. Did see a Union Flag upside down once in a court martial, just behind the judges heads. RSM was spitting feathers for some hours after that. As for the Scottish independence, my sweaty sock neigbour has just gone back after his annual hols here and "no way is it gonna happen Jimmy" Edited February 5, 2014 by phutoie2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
