I choose to display a Ukranian flag because I like the colours and it reminds me of Stalker (game and movie). Apart fromt that, I'd never display a flag of the country I live in because I am completely opposed to patriotism.

Joking! Only joking,... Ikea's... cool...
Being born where you are born is not a matter of choice, nor should it be of shame/pride...

A uterus would be more accurate. It was a Caesarean section for me. 😉

Actually, when I started to discuss in the forums, by the flag I wanted to show that English was not my mother tounge. If I was misunderstood, it might be of linguistic reasons.

I don't think Sweden is the best country in the world. Not the worst either. The time will come when national borders are not so important as they are today. First and foremost we are all citizens of the World.

Just out of curiosity, why do some users choose not to show their country of origin flag? They all look pretty cool, after all.

I don't need a flag, I'm an opinionated douche bag which means I'm very likely from the northeastern part of the USA. If someone were an unmitigated prick the probability of being from the UK (and supporting Manchester United) is near 98.2%

you can usually figure out where people are from, the best way is to ask

National borders doesn't mean anything to me. People the world over are important. Someone in the past decided "this country" within this virtual enclosure belongs to "these people" and generations from then on follow this view like sheep.

Sometimes you got to question their motives though.
