    One reason why Estonia's probably never going to adopt the Nordic cross is because its origin actually lies in how Danish King Valdemar II defeated the Estonians in the Battle of Lyndanisse in 1219, the year in which that Danish flag allegedly fell from the sky. The modern Estonian flag is the same one that was raised upon Estonia's first declaration of independence after World War I.

    Norway's had the red white and blue flag since 1814, even when under Sweden. Thing is we were still somewhat autonomous, much like how the Faroe Islands and Greenland is today under Denmark (theyusedtobeoursbutwahtever) We also flew a version that had the Swedish flag in the corner, likewise Sweden had a flag with the Norwegian flag in the corner. And one version was just half Norway and half Sweden.

      No, Norway only had the red-white-blue flag after 1821. Prior to this from 1814, Norway used a modified Danish flag with the Norwegian lion in the canton when they wrote the constitution, and later used a Swedish flag with a red saltire in the canton until they got their current flag with addition of the union mark in the canton.

      I was a sub teacher for a couple of years.
      If you just hop in for a day or two, by all means, it is a matter of just entertaining the kids so they don't leave.
      If you are doing a full month, or a semester even, then you need to stick to the curriculum. You can't imagine how thoroughly planned-out school is. If you miss a week, then you miss out on knowledge that won't be taught again.
      Many, many kids have their education ruined by schools that can't bother with proper replacement teachers.
      And also, the №1 cause for teachers going sick (parental leave not counted), is burnout due to stress and over-work.
      Teachers that come back from sick leave only to find the classroom upside-down, kids missing and the substitute didn't even give a f*ck about those lesson plans you've been mailing...

    Denmark didn't decide the flag of Greenland, obviously the Inuit & Inuk did.
    That flag represents the 6 months of sun and 6 months without sun. It is actually really beautiful, and as a Dane I'm almost offended on behalf of Greenland that you speak of their flag as something to do with us...
    Denmark is Denmark, Greenland is Greenland. Greenland has their own constitution and parliament and they can have independence whenever they want.
    Greenland is not Denmark. They are part of our familiy, and they are welcome to be - but only as long as they want to be.
    Ps. The one "from Somalia" represents the north star.

    as far as i know there is an official debate in australia from time to time about changing the official flag. And among all the former colonies of England, they are one of those who are closer to this (after Canada, which has already done this a long time ago). But in the case of Australia, they do not need to announce a competition for a new flag design. Because they have a second official flag: a black stripe from above, red from below and a yellow circle in the middle. This flag was once created by the Australian aborigines as representatives and owners of this land and over the years it was officially recognized by the Australian authorities. And from time to time there is a debate about replacing the current flag of Australia with this flag.
    P.S. I can be wrong because I use materials from Wikipedia and at my native language (Ukrainian) material about this flag can be different that in english version Wikipedia
