Since the forum description for the flag is "originally from", I chose Polish flag because this is the country where I am originally from. I duly typed in 'USA' for my place of current residence. Sorry for the confusion it has caused.
It would appear that you are fairly new to this thread.

GringoCarlos is from Belgium "this" week. But it changes almost every week. He is extremely knowledgeable about many subjects but somewhat confused as to where he is from. Don't pay attention to that part -- just to what he says!

Most houses in MX are built from either concrete, brick or adobe, including the floors/ceilings/roofs and there aren't a lot of combustibles. Electricity distribution is encased in concrete, and most houses don't have heating systems that could catch fire. Most houses also have two doors out.

Thanks, GringoCArlos. Btw, seeing the Chilean flag (used to be Belgian ), now I see what Detailman meant in the previous posting... Coincidentally, I was considering relocation to Chile before deciding to go along with Mexico.

Excellent question. Maybe we could ask for ideas from members of the forum.

How about a black banner with a white circle in the center and a happy face in the middle of the circle?

If I had my own flag, I'd want a green one with a yellow circle in the middle and a perplexed smilie in the middle of that.

Here is a great idea about a moon flag:

And a general idea, courtesy of Eddie Izzard about flags:

Didn't one of the US Presidential candidates want to put his flag on the Moon?
