Hi everyone,
I have recently decided to create my own Romani flags. I did this because most of the flags I have seen online are either too small or the quality is not the best. Use at your own discretion.  |

That's cool Raklori I think I will make another post with links to the second flag in different screen resolutions. That way the background pic is really nice and sharp.  |

And what a time we had, eh, Tio Rama? As always we sang with the stars.
This mead is going to be delicious. Just don't expect much, 'cause I may just drink it all.  |

I would like to remind everyone that the flags are [b]© 2006 Shinari[/b]. As mentioned before, I give the right for everyone to use according to their needs, but the sale or distribution of my rendition of the Romani flag is illegal.
I'm saying this, nothing against anyone here, but just a matter I wanted to clear up due to some circumstances. Thanks for understanding everyone. |

I would very much liked to have a flag one or more to give to my fellow Gysies!, but before I get one or more, I want to know who autorized, these colors of the supposed Gypsy Flag, and who invented it! I would be very much obliaged if you could give all this details, was this Flag democraticaly selected? or just some self made leader invented it, don`t get me wrong, because there are by the hundreds self proclaimed Gypsy leaders, who try and take advantage of the situation, here In Brazil there are Gypsies who ask the government to make them leaders, of all the clans which are in Brazil, and some don`t know even how to write their names, how can such people be leaders. victor

| Hi Shinari,
Your motto is great, think positively, act positively and leave no fingerprints. I love it!
I like to think that i live my life by those sort of rules, if u can't touch somedodies life in a positive way, then don't touch it at all. We are judged by what we do while in this life, so be polite & kind or else karma will catch up wiv ya!
I'm off to look at our flag. I've already read CJ's info regards it's design and authenticity.
Take care, all the best |

Thanks for the comment on my motto, nomad. :)
We should have the Romani flag as a bumper sticker with the slogan, "We fix and steal your cars better than the rest!" However, I don't think that people would get my warped sense of humour. Sighs. Maybe a slogan that said, "My Pimped Vardo" would be better.

Were could I buy some flags, that are supposed to be Gypsy, as I have already told you , we don't even have a leader much less a country, how could any one say that this is our flag, it is eligal but on the other hand very little Gypsies know what is eligal and what is not, I think first we must be recognized by the U.N, officialy, and ask the U.N. if they can give us a piece of land and be called the Romani land, so that we may fly our flag over our country

| Hi Victor, I take your point regards legality of the flag. Have you used the link 6 posts above this one by Delengri on 16 Feb to look at the info regards the design & origin of the flag? It says there that it was officialy recognised in 1971 however i will approach the member that posted that information to ask the question on your behalf. However your claim that "very little Gypsies know what is illegal and what is not" is a tad rash. It is true that not many of us are solicitors but in my experience in the UK, Gypsies have a good understanding of what's illegal and what's not. Furthermore, the member who posted that information has carried out a great deal of research into our history. Take care, the nomad |

| Victor not wishing to be offensive but as we come from so many different lands and no obe knows if we had a one original country how wcould we have our own land surely as we have been been in so many different country over the last hundreds of years surely the country where you have lived for many years as we in England over 600 years then we call england our country well i do and many others do that I know. if every people that have move or been displaced over history wanted their own bit of land where would this lead and what would it prove or be its purpose? respectfully Matty. |

Matty I see no offence of saying the thruth, I am sure you are happy in a country were you were born or are living there for decades, that is why I say that we just cannot have a national flag just yet unless the whole world will recocgnize it, and even if it does, I would use it this was. the Chinese flag on a mast would come first then our flag would be just beneath it. I think this would be more legal. Victor |

| Nomadbill, I am not just refering of the Gypsies of England, but as whole around the world to be more precise, we have a long way to go yet , I would have been the happiest man in this world to know that our Gypsies, are aquainted with the worlds, law, but unfortunately it is to early to have our own Flag, in 1971 you say that it was officialy recognised! what I say that these Gypsies that recognised this flag, they should have done it democraticaly, let us say that there were 10 thousand Gypsies on that gathering, what about the other 1990, 000,000 million Gypsies, wer are said to be in about 20,000,000, now you tell me was this correct?

| Victor, that's a valid point my friend. I wonder just who did decide on the exact design of the flag. Thing is, how would you go about asking twenty million people to make the decision? Throughout the world a selected panel of people represent their clans in decision making. When a government is elected, a few hundred folk make decisions that concern millions of others, that is just the way the world works. I'm not saying it's right but that's the way it is. Take care, nomadbill |

| i dont think theirs any harm in having a flag'. but i like the idea of Gypsy's being free and not tied to a country or a flag!..
when you think of an red indian i dont think of a flag or a country'' i think of a special proud race of people' and like the Romany are trying to keep what little culture they have!..
..
.
i think Gypsy are a lot the same!..we have more than a flag cos we have something about us that makes us special and different from every other race in the world..we stand out cos we are the only races that dont have a country or a flag!!
i know its just a romantic vue that we still travel the roads and live free' cos we dont!!''..
but its still there in our minds!..we think free and we think different from every one elss .so i dont think a flag can represent a feeling of pride and freedom' that no one els' but a Gypsy can understand?..
im not saying that to put gorgers down!!..some gorgers are keeping the old ways better than most Gypsys and im glad of that!!...
..
.but like i said im not against a flag' im not botherd if we have one or not' and it does look good lol'
hope i wasnt rambling cos i loose my self half way through lol..bang!! |

| Dear Nomadbill, yes you are right were you are, but not in Brasil, the vote here is an obligation, if you don't vote you will have to pay a fine or else you wont have the right to take a passport or some other importent documents, or you must give the government, a good excuse, why you did not vote, and I think it is right every one must vote during the elections, except children and old people like me, that is over 65 years old! |

| Hi Victor, i think even in the UK it's law to vote but people are so fed up with governments promising one thing to get your vote, then doing another after they're elected, that they don't bother. I agree however that everybody should, whats the point in bitching about the way the countries run if you haven't bothered to have your say?.... I just read your post about the chinese tigers, interesting! Maybe our lifes are all planned out from the day we are conceived, when it's time for us to leave this planet, we will! Thats why i beleive we should do as much as we can while we have the chance because tomorrow may never come. Congratulations on your advancing years - nearly 80, that's good going! Heres to the next 80!...... Brasil eh? I hear it's lovely but dangerous in parts. Mind you London can be a dangerous place if you take a wrong turn! Take care, the nomad |
