Well, I back down. Whatever I say here, there will be 10 folk to say "I hate you - you're dumb", will only decrease my reputation. I still find this flag very offensive, this better be a good attribute you're saving. I still find it ridiculous and laughable that you're keeping Lolicorn. And your clan must learn to take constructive criticism.
One point I do want to make clear, though - this is not a message to CORP, this was a message to anybody who was looking to join CORP - but my approach here was poor. And the last 4 reasons I specifically said might not affect everybody.
To the three categories of replies here, I have three more things to say:
"I hate you, you're dumb" - If you manage to have an argument without using insults, please inform. "You used to be cool, but now are not" - I still am cool, just not with most CORP (because of CORP propoganda instigated by mostly knyte, Angry Panda and Kazuki. I've had two different folk say that I am tied for smartest person Warlight and I should be an Internet role model. "Good points, but not the way to go about it" - perhaps.
УГ - Des, you didn't even know me ever, what do you have to say here? Tshh

In reference to the Japanese flag I find this to be the core problem with "political correctness". In Germany, when a solider preforms an act of extreme valor in afghanistan or in another NATO conflict what do they get? Nothing. The German army has no medal for valor because their old medal was the Iron Cross and that is too "politically incorrect" to give to soldiers considering the holocaust.
The fact is that the Iron Cross was an old Christian Prussian medal long before it became associated with hatred and genocide. The only reason that people find the Iron Cross (and therefore the japanese flag) offensive is because they have assigned some form of hurt to it when in reality it is just a collection of colors.
Is it Politically correct to use a Japanese flag? Probably not. Should you give two shits about a bunch of colors? no.

And the swastika was used over 5000 years ago. It ment "good forture" and it is an important symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Odinism. You can find swastika's in modern day India and Pakistan on the tops of houses among other places. The only reason people find it offensive is because they want to be offended by it and because people have bad memories of the Natzi's.
Remind me again why we are letting a bunch of dead genocidal maniacs determine what certain symbols mean?

There is a difference in the Indian swastika, to the German swastika, I think it is forbidden to use in the Nazi swastika, but i do not think they should change the whole Iron Cross medal
