Flag... referendum?
NZ's having a vote to see if we want to change the flag. It's our PM's current money-wasting project.
A shame that the Kiwi with laser eyes isn't an option. Or that one with the cowboy riding a sheep.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Is the simple silver fern design still in the running?

Therapists don't usually prescribe drugs.
That's wrong, you're wrong. My therapist had put me on countless medicines to fix whatever problem.

Wow, everyone who voted on that sucks. That's even worse than the current flag.
No wonder everyone moves to Australia. :(

Yes. There is. :P
(Though the first link includes the comments as important, because the article is very skewed in wording, making an error of context)

Or for better clarity: Have a glossary of terms. {I still feel uneasy for linking that one first link because of how wrong it is -.-}

Would've rather had The Spirit of Progress or Fire the Lazar! as the option.
I love the article's assertion that the design is "totally ridiculous as it is well known that kiwis lack the ability to construct even the most basic laser". I feel as though scientific studies are in order to conclusively prove or disprove this assumption. :)

"Yet another has simply drawn the letters ‘NZ’ on a flag-shaped blue square." <- I vote for that one. It'll make my geography tests one point easier so I stop failing out of college for failing geography.

That lady was taking things way too seriously though. :I Especially when she clearly violated the rules. :I And now I'm taking it too seriously. This is a sign it's probably time to sleep. G'night all and I hope for you all to have a betterment in your standings and situations, with a newfound hope and clarity about life in direct defiance of its many miserable aspects. And a spiritual awakening if such a thing would be beneficial or at all interesting to you. Peace out?

They didn't understand why I smiled in the interview when they said they might have hired me if I wasn't a lawyer.

Screaming internally.

I just wanna go home. Not that home actually feels like a home at all, but at least then I can just sit in my room with no expectations from anyone. I should have known better than to tell people I was going to do all these things I am now obliged to do. Really, I knew it was a bad idea before I even left on this trip, but by then it was too late and I'd given too many words to too many people. :-\

@Greatorder: I am not sure quite what manner of injury that is, but I hope it heals up soon.
Few things worse than having a recurring injury suddenly reappear after you thought it was finally gone.

In other news, I dislike the phrase "nothing worse than X". Seems to me that saying it is either inviting something worse to happen, or belittling whatever other misfortunes may befall oneself. Stupid brain, taking such harmless exaggerations so literally and freaking out over them.
