[QUOTE="0tago, post: 792052, member: 73892"] No, I don't find it disrespectful. I would have liked a change and I'm sorely disappointed with the choice it came down to, I feel it's a really missed opportunity. There are so many Maori designs that had endless possibilities, the new option looked "cool" but not appropriate for a national flag, in all honesty I didn't vote, because I didn't feel completely compelled to either option. The offense came in the area of people choosing to be offended and bringing up people who had fought and died for the flag, like some how they're the voice for them? Some veterans were disgruntled which is a bit more understandable and on the matter of opposition changing their tune, that's always going to be the case, parties always opposed what the other is doing etc. [/QUOTE]
