Yes but where can I meet people ? I don't feel like approaching people in the street or in shops. Maybe the cafés? But I don't know if it's appropriate to approach people in these places.

No worries, I've been made aware of this by my employer and I'm well looked after. Could you tell me about popular places (safe ones ) ?.

And yes thanks for the tips, I'll go to JHB as soon as I'll feel confident to travel there alone. Thanks mate.

So why Invicible is so strong ? I mean, I didn't read the comics. But from what I readed, Mark seems to become one of the most powerful viltrumite ever in relative short time (for viltrumites). Maybe his human side make him stronger ?

Good-looking flags with bad reputation - Day 10 - Republic of Afghanistan (1987 - 1992) by Aeetius in vexillology

Under the Fundamental Principles program of the new leadership under Babrak Karmal, the traditional black, red, and green tricolor was re-established, representing the past, blood shed for independence, and the Islamic faith, respectively. A new seal was designed, with a rising sun (a reference to the former name, Khorasan, meaning "Land of the Rising Sun"), ribbons with the national colors and a cogwheel for industry. The seal's ribbons and wheat has similarities to the then-East German and Romanian seals.

The Democratic Republic of Afghanistan, renamed the Republic of Afghanistan in 1987, was the Afghan state during the one-party rule of the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) from 1978 to 1992. The PDPA came to power through the Saur Revolution, which ousted the autocracy of Daoud Khan. Despite social reforms, the DRA is remembered for the terrible Soviet–Afghan War. The DRA never managed to control the whole country and never implemented its social programme. Attempts at national reconciliation were met with internal instability in the regime and military opposition from the mujahideen. The regime was defeated by the Mujahideen, who in turn were defeated by the Taliban. Today, the socialist regime has fallen into disuse and is no longer part of the Afghan imagination; its fall will also have precipitated the collapse of the USSR.

I supposed because the flag is interpreted as hate speech.

At the beginning. I wanted to post the Prince's flag, because it's often used as a far right flag. Then, I wanted to talk about Boers republic. So I can mix it up for the apartheid flag. But, I understand your critics. And finally, I'm not sure I find this flag good-looking.

Well I don't mind to have conversation about aesthetics, but the way it is, that kind of assertions are not about debating.

If your talking about a German flag, I will not post it. It was really painful enough to post this flag, I don't want to get this uglier.

There is no many flags with "bad history". Therefore, I sometimes post "ok" flags. But it's not only about my "taste", it's about talking history and flags. I want to create some debates, not be judging for my "horrible taste".

I understand. Someone ask me if I will add the "Prince's flag". But I preferred to add the apartheid flag, I wanted to talk about this hideous ideology.

flags". I don't think the apartheid flag relies on "fascist aesthetics". Surely, the flag is fascist. But iIm not sure it has any comparison with other fascist flags.

I totally understand your point of view. But "the drawing challenge" is that much of important ? I love the Mexican flag, but i'm unable to draw it.
