Metal Slug, strike force for the new world order.

Indeedelly Yes!

One day everyone will have our beautiful Blue flag!

I'll stick with the Red, White, and Blue, thank you.

Iori.
Hey! We call it the "Rapid reaction force" O'K?

"The same thing we do every day! Try to take over the World!"

The one Bri means, is the flag of St. George, White field, red cross. Englands flag, not the Union flag.

Rekumaru (sp?) Would possibly have one for you Bri!

I think most people outside the UK don't realize that the flag of the UK is a combination of flags, hence the 'Union' Jack.

Yep our flags england(red cross on white)
scotland(blue background white cross)
i suppose the rest must be made up of northand ireland (red x on white background)
lol i hope thats not wrong. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

yup i want St George. i'm fed up of St patrick being celerbrated over here more than our George so this is my homage him.

And if that Blue flag ever replaces George or Jack then i'm off over the Atlantic to live in the states. United states of europe will never happen!

As it shouldn't bwi. The Sovereignty of a state should not and must not be undermined by international organizations.

Sorry main reason for the post was that i actually made and sent Shawn a St George's cross <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

What, like the United "States" of North America??
Doesn't stop people having a strong sense of "national" identity?
Its only an issue when you're starting off, after all does Texas still want to seceed from the Union?
Before to much longer, certainly within our lifetimes, the world will be divided into 4 or so huge, federations. The only question is, will those be able to swollow their differences and amalgamate into a unified world government?
If we can, then perhaps we will all be able to celebrate our differences and our "national" identities, instead of just using them as excuses to bang each other on the head!

I made an "England," St. George flag and will send it to Shawn.

As a matter of fact, here it is, Shawn. You can add this under the flags with the name England. That might get these limey bastards to shut their gobs. <IMG SRC="smilies/glee.gif" border="0">

Hey watch your mouth,or ill have to wash it out with soap and fucking water.
By the way with calling us limeys i hope you know what it means,i know what it means and it aint much of an insult so you might as well pack it in. <IMG SRC="smilies/veryangry.gif" border="0">

Actually, I know exactly what Limeys means. I never use words for which I do not know the meaning. And BTW, the fact that it isn't much of an insult is why I used it. I was just kidding around, as I would think my tone would have betrayed. Perhaps not. Geez. I went to the trouble of making and uploading your flag didn't I?

...git <IMG SRC="smilies/glee.gif" border="0">

And yes, that was just kidding too. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

BA HUMBUG

That is some scary shit man. I'll save it for another topic, this tangent here has gone long enough.

yup , the arguments about countries could go on forever and has made people fight over it for centuries. All i want is my St georges cross. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Sint the reason we are called limeys , is that when we sailed across the sea to take over the world we used limes to stop scurvy or something like that. Oh btw teh "when we sailed across the sea to take over the world " was a bit of banter <IMG SRC="smilies/makeface.gif" border="0">

It was due to the standard lime wedge in the Gin that the Imperial Brits were so fond of drinking. Seemed odd to the various natives across the Empire. Hence, Limeys.

Soveriegnty?

Ha! It was nice while it lasted...sadly I'd argue that the only truely soveriegn states left in the world are in Sub-saharan Africa and a few other basket-case countries (north Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan) scattered over the world. For the rest of the world, particularly the global North, we are soo tied into each other economically that no country can really do anything to each other. (That's why I never lost a second of sleep over the whole china/spy plane issue) People who still think soveriegnty is as strong as ever should look at the last few countries we've, umm, "interevened" in. i.e. Yugoslavia. Why do you think Russia was so pissed at what we and the EU were doing? Sure, they tried to make it sound like they gave a damn about their "Slavic Bretheren", but the fact is, once that precedent of forced interevention got established, it can now be invoked whenever a country gets too out of line. Hell, even Jesse Helms (hack, spit) is starting to realize exactly how tied into our neighbors we are. He used to be the source on anti-Mexico banter, now he met with President Vincente Fox to discuss improving trade relations.

Anyway, I could go on for hours on this. Heck, I could even use neo-geo.com as a great example of this trend. I think in the next 50 years we are going to see more specific ethnic/cultural nationalism what won't be based on the state they they exist in, unless the country in question is a nation-state (one nation with one dominant ethnic group, like Ireland).

Anyway...

I don't know BWI... with the Euro and not needing passports to travel throughout mainland Europe, a union might be the inevitable...England might join just out of peer pressure.

The value of the Euro is plummeting against the dollar atm. We still need passports , hell you can even get passports for pets now.

Without being too political , this country is fine at the moment and we dont have a need to support the other 80% of Europe.
