Polish flag was changed by taking the coat of arms?

Can anyone tell me why Poland changed their flag by taking the coat of arms like it. The new flag is much more generic and the old flag was awesome. If anyone could tell me why they changed the flag it would be appreciated.

Look son, I'm a German graduate student currently attending a prestigious school in Danzig, Poland and I currently engage in Polish studies. The SIMPLE fact of the matter is that the first flag wasn't approved by the German Reichstag (government) and so because everything in Poland requires approval by the Deutsch, Poland was forced to change to something more generic which they copied off of Indonesia.

In Deutschland we actually have technological innovations and probably will acquire time-travelling technology within the next century. On the other hand, Poland remains part of the United Slav Front, etc. in terms of where development is at (nothing). Furthermore, I'd like to point out that Germany is basically the epicenter of European greatness. Look, I came here to explain the history of Poland's flag, and I've given it. I'm simply a student in Danzig acquiring more knowledge about less civilized cultures.

Both versions, with and without the coat of arms, are officially recognized. http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flaga_Rzeczypospolitej_Polskiej

Listen up. I'm a polish graduate student from the city of Vladislov, and I proclaim myself king of the slavs. Hooded minions, attack! Use your adidas jumpsuits to claim victory for Poland!

You are a moron. Poland is probably one of more 'advanced' eastern European counties and its improving the fastest in that area. Its also the most 'westernized' nations in that half of Europe.

You think our development is at zero?
Then here eat this:
If your nazi brethren didnt bomb the **** out of Poland and kill millions + buildings maybe we would be technologically advanced too :)))))))

If there are multiple pieces of fecal matter lying on a road and one smells less worse than the others, does it really make it any different? That's basically what you said comparing Poland to other Eastern European nations. I really doubt the latter part of your argument; Poland still was less developed at the time and is the same way today. Once again, I don't hate Poland, I'm just a student in the wonderful city of Danzig.

Deutschland: That's basically what you said comparing Poland to other Eastern European nations. Let's stop feeding the troll. He loves it when we attempt to convince him of something because he gets to say something outrageous back. Best to ignore him as the OP had their questions answered. We are being baited. Why fall for it! :-)

@Mods: Why is this trolling fest still going on? The posts were reported, but the retards are still allowed to spout their bulls*it. By the way - I think only registered members should be allowed to post messages on the board. It would decrease the amount on trolling significantly.

Torq: I think only registered members should be allowed to post messages on the board. I think everybody except the trolls and the owners of PF would agree.

Polish Penal Code: Article 137: Para 1: Who publicly insults, destroys, or removes coat-of-arms, standard, gonfalon, ensign or flag or another State symbol, is subject to fine, restriction of liberty, or imprisonment up to one year. If PolishForums were Polish...

Torq: I think only registered members should be allowed to post messages on the board. It would decrease the amount on trolling significantly. I agree with this idea, too. Let people read the general forums here, but register to post. Very common practice on most boards. And as pointed out, google indexes everything on here and why should someone's search lead them to junk posts.

The Law means Law, and we are talking about the national flag or Poland that is protected by the Polish Law.

Discussing the Law is pointless.

If I'm not wrong, Isthatu2, you come from a country that has neither Constitution nor Penal Code. The rest of Europe have Constitutions and Penal Codes. Got it?

This makes the big difference because a British can make briefs out of the Union Jack but a Frenchman, German or Pole won't do it with their national flags.

Antek I'm in work and can't see the Images/Videos. I thought that you as an old punk would like to question everything including laws or at least allow others to question laws that you agree with.

Antek_Stalich: Discussing the Law is pointless. It is if and only if the law is unambiguous. Which it categorically isn't. There is room for manoeuvre - if there wasn't you woudn't have, or need, an appeals procedure. Our UK libel law is no better in that regard.
