I like my country's flag more. Too bad so many other countries stole the colours.

They are just colours of importance that it makes sense to put together. Or something.

The Netherlands FTW! ^-^ I try to speak English as well as I can and I'm asking all of you native English speakers: How good is my English? I'm very curious. ^-^

Yeah, but the Russian flag combines them in the best way possible.
The Union Jack is fun too though.

Well, the Union Jack is just a combination of other flags.

That's good to hear, thank you! ^-^ And as we're on the topic of flags, I think Bhutan's got a pretty cool one.

The elements on the Portuguese flag do have meanings:
Green: Symbolizes the hope.
Red: Symbolizes the bravure and the blood of the Portuguese people that died on combat.
Armillary Sphere: Represents the world that Portuguese Navigators discovered on the XV and XVI centuries and the people with they which traded ideas and the comercialization.
The 7 Castles: Symbolize the Moorish fortified locations that D. Afonso Henriques conquered.
The 5 Blue Shields: Symbolize the 5 Moorish Kings defeated by D. Afonso Henriques on Ourique's Battle.
The 5 white dots inside each shield: Represent the 5 wounds of Christ.

Five wounds?
Some more flag meanings:
Irish:
Green = Republicans
Orange = Unionists
White = Peace between them
French:
Red and Blue = Colours of Paris
White = Colour of Royalty, in between the colours of Paris to show that the Royalty was now controlled by the People
