It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

Dont forget about TPP, and this, though.

So, speaking of the EU Commissioner...
You know, I dont usually believe conspiracy theories, but the sheer ferocity of pushing these things, regardless of public opinion, really makes one wonder. Usually politicians just go with what is popular.

Its the Illuminati, man.

Money is power. Just be glad corporations aren't completely autonomous entities yet.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

It is very common practice for politicians to tack things on to bills, such as that Canada-EU trade agreement, that aren't related to the bill in any way. This often amounts to saying "I'll approve the new health care bill, but only if my country gets 20 million dollars for a new hospital" or in this case stuffing the ACTA stuff along with a trade agreement. It's not a conspiracy theory, it's politics.

Friggin' moneysexuals.
Hey, what they do in their bedroom with their money is none of your concern.

Yeah, but it'd be really nice if they started realizing that other people need their money too.
