To be honest I am heartily sick of seeing these insulting ‘flags’ popping up when I click the stumble button.
The Chinese flag was particularly annoying because it is factually wrong see:

…so I decided to correct it.
Anybody else want to ‘correct’ one of the others?

‘Mae Zedong (December 26, 1893 — November 22, 1980)
…was an actress, writer and communist revolutionary famous for her daring double entendres and her belief that proletarian revolution could come from the peasant classes.
After winning control of mainland China in 1949, Zedong modernized the country through a series of risque comedies and films, filled with quips, one-liners and denunciation of “reactionary” elements.
These were later collected into the “Little Black Book,” which became a standard text for revolutionaries into the 1960s.’
“We should rid our ranks of all impotent thinking.”

where the Black Rocks stand guard against the cold sea,
in the dark night that is very long,
the Men of the Northlands sit by their great log fires,
and they tell a tale…”

“We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found?
The same old fears…”
