How about NZ politics?

The New Zealand government is planning a 23 million dollar referendum to change the flag. Even though referendums are not constitutionally binding, so the final decision will be made by parliamentary vote. The majority of seats in parliament are held by the National party, and it's National that wants to change the flag in the first place.
If it's that one-sided, then why even vote about it?

I have to imagine that the bureaucratic process is tantamount to sex for a bunch of government members located in just about any government anywhere.  There just doesn't seem to be a reason otherwise.

At least it's not 23 million up their noses.

Well, the new flag itself is already decided upon AFAIK. Key wants us to become our rugby team.

The money itself is going into organising the damn thing.

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.

That flag, so depressing.

I thought the current New Zealand flag to be quite nice.

Why are people who don't understand how rules work allowed to make and enforce them, and why are they found nowhere in higher concentrations than in institutions that are also home to law schools? I refer specifically to the director of a housing complex who was responsible for enforcing a housing contract, but couldn't tell me whether a right to sleep is a positive or a negative right. Instances like this have been popping up, I feel like.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Lizards aren't furry, though.
Scalies.

FAKEDIT: DAMN NINJAS
I like Argonians because they combine the best features of lizards (being lizards) and humans (boobs).
But that doesn't make any sense. Boobs (i.e. mammaries) only belong on mammals.

My magiscience beats your rule of cool.

It's fantasy, also.. I prefer mammaries on females no matter how "realistic" any game is.

What even is this. Seriously what. Why. Why would you do that?

Its 4chan. Its always relevant. Especially if the discussion involves boobs.

Still, that link in and of itself is wtf worthy.
