Inception?

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Christian Bale? Um... yeah nope I'm out.

3: Katherine Jenkins

4 things then. 5 if you count Christian Bale twice, which I do


Is it true that Katherine Jenkins was a cokehead, or was that unsubstantiated tabloid nonsense?

 

[GavinGT]

50 years ago? The British flag. Now, I think it's clearly the American flag.

 

[adamc01]

I say British flag it looks lot better to me not because I'm British but it just looks better for a design point of view

but I don't know I like both.

 

[JimiNutz]

If you look at history overall its def the UK. Great Britain ruled the world. It isnt even close.

Over the past 50 years though... US by miles. It isnt even close. The US may not rule the world like the UK once did, but it is THE superpower.

 

[Half and half]

Honestly, they're both terrible looking flags.

Canada and Australia's flags are creatively bankrupt as well.

Bleh.

 

[Htown]

You tell me.

Boom.

 

[Log4Girlz]

 

[adamc01]

that looks a mess ha

 

[Ominym]

Luckily, with Katy Perry? You don't have to choose.

Edit: Damn, same picture and everything?

Well, have some American KP.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

I've always preferred Katy Perry's left tit

As an American the British flag has always been cool. Maybe because my love of classic rock music, just the staggering amount of legends to originate from there. The last Olympics my younger wife kept saying during the ceremony, "They're from the UK to?" So much music. Better then the US.

I'll always envy their invention of rock and roll.

 

[SteveWD40]

America invented Rock and Roll, Britain revolutionised it.

But hey, off topic. Both flags are good but I like the symmetry of ours. If it matters, I much prefer the US national anthem

 

[freenudemacusers]

in terms of good fashion, union jack pretty easily. the us flag doesn't really lend itself to a wide array of design use.

 

[bangai-o]

the Dallas Cowboy flag is bigger than the British flag.

I agree that the UK flag > US flag, but the US anthem > UK anthem. That said, UK flag is an awesome flag, top tier, whereas US anthem is just soso, the UK anthem is just unfortunately even worse. Just so bad.

Both nations get the beat-down put on them by Nepal, though. Killer flag and national anthem. Feels like cheating.

 

[Acorn]

Its wrong but because our Flag has been co opted by far right wing nutjobs, I have grown to hate the union jack.

Also doesn't help that Rangers fans wave it.

Of course it helps it as a symbol when it represents the biggest club in Scotland

 

[Acorn]

I can't hear you from down there, get promoted another few times so I can hear you!

 

[dorkimoe]

i think the american one is a bigger symbol, but the British one is better

I'm sure you could have a visit sometime once you get bored strolling the SPL again and again.



I actually do like the design of the US flag, but it doesn't really have the 'cool' factor the UK one does. Also, nobody really likes America apart from Americans from the south so

 

[Bombadil]

America has more people and being overtly patriotic is a national pass time. The sheer volume of chinese manufactured star spangled merchandise and garments is astronomical.

pastime.

God attack the Queen, send big dogs after her that bite her bum

 

[ViperVisor]

British with the X is really attention grabbing.



The US with the stars top left and horizontal stripes excels when it is up the flag pole and waving.

Its annoying that we persist with God Save The Queen when Jerusalem is a far, far better anthem and has been lying in wait for decades on end.

One glorifes the Royal Family, the other glorifies Christianity, so they're equally poor in the sense of having agreeable lyrics. One is a good tune though, and the other is a warbling pile of shite.

 

[Jacob]

The British flag is much more adaptable to non-flag products (in part because it's mostly symmetrical and more visually distinctive), so I'd say it's a better fashion symbol. I haven't traveled enough to compare its global reach to the American flag, though.

 

[KillGore]

America, of course. Seems like an obvious answer.

The UK flag was the bigger symbol a couple of hundreds of years ago.

 

[hidys]

The Union Jack always elicited a greater response with me, because the first thought I have is why the fuck is it still on the top corner of my flag.

 

[Tallshortman]

stars and stripes baby

 

[startyourengine]

op is asking about fashion symbol, andthe union jack is the bigger fashion symbol.

 

[Vyroxis]

Union Jack is great for fashion and a symbol of standing up and doing the best you can.

Stars and Stripes is good for a symbol of freedom and fighting (sometimes dying) so others may live.

Isn't Jerusalem pretty specifically about England though? Maybe if the Scots leave.

 

[Timbuktu]

America, of course. Seems like an obvious answer.

I would say a hundred at most. And America i feel is more represented around the world by the McDonalds, Nike and Starbucks logos than the actual flag.

I'm okay with Jerusalem, but I think a far better national anthem would be I Vow to Thee My Country.

Less than 100 even. This was the British Empire post WWI:

Was mostly the same until after WWII (Irish independence being the major change from that map that comes to mind).

 

[nephilimdj]

Well, have some American KP.

East Londoner Katy Perry for laughs

I think Union flag is more striking, USA design is reused alot with places like Malaysia

 

[snoopen]

British flag is way better. Superior in every way (the whole UK is).

 

[Axiom]

As an overall symbol it's the American flag.


As a fashion symbol, the Union Jack easily tops it.

 

[daviyoung]

As a fashion symbol? Obviously UK.

Cape to Cairo is one of the most hilariously ballsy endeavours in history. If Cecil Rhodes was a an EUIII/Vicky player he'd get laughed at on the paradox forums for that batshit insane map painting. Double the lulz for the aspergian zeal that afflicted british colonial planners. "must...connect...the...territory"

Despite references to Jesus and his alleged trip to England jeruselum is more about glorifying england than it is glorifying christianity, personally id rather we had land of hope and glory

 

[1cmanny1]

The English flag looks better.

 

[Messypandas]

 

[ElectricBlue187]

You don't see people burning the Union Jack. That's all you need to say for the symbology argument.

Union Jack is probably more fashionable outside of bikinis

 

[Naked Snake]

The UK flag is the better design if you ask me.
