Isle of Man's ok by me, though Mad Sunday an experience I'll never forget!  Jolly Rodger just given a bad name I reckon Laughing The pirates only copied the Royal Navy at the time but they flew the flag of the crown, made them respectable y'see Laughing I've also met a few Brit expats who have some strange attitudes.

I know, I was nearly one of them. But still here, still biking.

Sad, but part of racing. I had a Norton (same as Adam) when I was 19. I now have a 1250 Suzuki (pictured) and have done almost 60k on it. I'll be biking for a few more years yet Kay despite having been hospitalised on many occasions due to some bad crashes. Anyway, we're drifting off topic here.

Why not a Triumph?

Because we live in time of capitalism.So if costumer says that sky is green,you must agree because he/she is still costumer.

While I agree that the wasteful capitalist consumer society determines much about what we wear, colours, style of kitchen, hairstyle and attitudes, it's not the reason I chose the 1250. The Suzuki is a great 'all rounder'; good for touring France and equally good for heavy City traffic. When abroad I don't wear any flag )or at home) and we all seem to be much the same.  I think it's a mistake to label somebody, tie a flag to them.  The flag means nothing to most of us, especially the butchers apron which sadly emits, in my view, negativity.

My x-girlfriend is Yugoslavian-Norwegian. She is neither a Serbian, nor a Croat. She is proud of Yugoslavia, and mad at Serbian and Croatian nationalists and mob. Those Croat naziz at the airport in Zagreb that harassed her she do not aknowledge. She doesnt like the Serbian nationalists in Sombor that did beat up her nephew either, because he as a Croat in Serbia chose the Croatian army (It was when the states were recently divided. The boys could choose which army they should join).

She did grow up in a Croatian/Bosnian family in Sombor, a city that  ended up in Serbian territory. Her nationality was Yugoslavian.

If she plays here, it must be under a Yugoslavian or Norwegian flag. Not Serbian. Not Croatian. The reason she was harassed by the Croats was probably that she came with a Yugoslavian passport (if I remember right).

There was no such ethnicity/nationality as Yugoslavia. There was Yugoslavia citizenship till 2003. Same story with the USSR: there was never the USSR nationality, there was the USSR citizenship. All USSR passports contained nationality (as ethnicity).

I think Yugoslavia was a nation. She was raised in a family with both Bosnian and Croatian ancestors in Serbia. What kind of nationality could she have had other than Yugoslavian?  I dont think she ever  will use one of those new flags.

In terms of one community, one country, yes... you can call Yugoslavia a nation (same way you can reffer to the USSR as the Soviet nation). But in terms of ethinicity Yugoslavia was a union of Serbs, Croats, Bosnians, Slovenes, etc (same way as the USSR was the union of 15 republics, 15 major nationalities and overall the union of more than 60 nationalities).

You answered your own question, she is of Bosnian and Croatian origin (nationality), even though she was raised in Serbia.

As I understand it, the United Kingdom is a country that includes the areas of England, Wales, Scotland, & Northern Ireland, right?  Meaning that England & Scotland aren't countries but part of one.  If so, their flags shouldn't be listed on this site in the Countries section.

It's unheard of.

Never heard of England national football team or Scotland national rugby union team? The United Kingdom is the union of four countries.

While not included on the ISO list of countries, within the UK, England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are considered "countries," and the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands are considered "dependencies of the crown." To the rest of the world, these are simply semi-autonomous provinces within the UK. They cannot exercise rights of a sovereign nation; for example minting money, negotiating international agreements, or raising a military force. Their powers are roughly comparable to the powers of states within the US, and in fact are even more restricted in certain areas; for example firearms and gambling. Their status as "countries" is really nothing more than a relic of the time before they were absorbed into Great Britain (that, and a symbol for various nationalist movements to rally around).

I don't think Yugoslavia had different national armed forces either, but local forces part of one army.  Nationalism was used to destroy it.

There's not really any point in having any flags on this site.  Unless you are going to play in the chess.com online Olympiad?  Oops...there isn't one.  

Yep, flags here are useless and divisive.  Much like nationalism in general.
