Wow, that's an interesting opinion you're expressing there! —Bromskloss 12:11, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Better than burning the flag, isn't it? I'm just not proud of the country and I don't agree with its general philosophy (both political and cultural.) So something that symbolizes "not-Brazilian" sounded appropriate. ☢ Ҡi∊ff⌇↯ 12:35, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Grotesque

I'm not proud of several aspects about this country. However, we must consider they're all linked to cultural facts, mainly the fact that Brazilian people do not have a feeling of brotherhood. The flag, our symbol, can not only create that sense of brotherhood, since it represents the land where Brazilians belong to, but it can also force people to look for a mutual interest. People criticize politicians, but forget that they're the ones who elect them. In addition, Brazilians in general think only of themselves individually, I mean. As long as that doesn't change, making fun of the flag, which is a crime, and the army has ways of finding who's crieated that image, nothing's going to change. Instead of creating stupid symbols like this, one should create a virtual movement for restablishing brotherhood and a sense of belonging.

I'm not making fun of the flag. I just added a circle with a line over it to represent the fact I don't feel home here. The argument for nationaliy you bring to the discussion doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Just because I happened to born in Brazil doesn't mean I have to love the country, its people or its culture. The same applies to every single nation out there. I respect it, but I don't have to like it. I'm not criticizing Brazil, its politicians or its people in any way, I'm merely stating that I, personally, don't like most of this, a lot of it goes against my principles, and even so, while I am here, I am going to do my best to help the place to be as good as it can. But that doesn't change the fact I don't genuinely like most of it, in aspects I really just can't change (like the culture and the humour). This image represents that, and only that. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, but please, refrain from vandalizing the image page as it explains my point with this image very clearly. — Kieff | Talk 19:52, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
