Admit to being a leftard? Hell, I'd tattoo that on my forehead for the off chance someone might mistake me for a rightard.</p></blockquote>

No chance of that. Being Maori, your neck wouldn't be red enough. -

<p>That's unsurprising given how traditional and predisposed to group think it is as an institution.<br>
<br>
The problem for a flag change is the most obvious one is taken. I'd have simply gone with removing the Blue Ensign:<br>

<br>
Even of the proposed alternatives I'd clean it up:<br>

<p>I'd still like a better fern design but that's better.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was originally going to stick with the old flag in the second round but I've come around since then. I still don't think it's a great flag but I figure it'll be a hell of a lot easier to make a few changes to the new flag than it'll be to go through this process all over again.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Really have to say this process has been a mess though. Would've been a hell of a lot better to have a refinement process between the first and second rounds IMO.</p> -

Cheers for that, when I take over the country there's a list of people to chuck into the reeducation camps .<br><br>
" they should have gassed his mother " stay classy leftards. You are the caring inclusive side of the political spectrum. -
<p>Are people like Key, DC etc not allowed to express thier opinions, but the the anti-brigade are?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>some of the comments on Stuff and FB are quite disturbing, it makes you wonder how the hatred for Key got to this point, given how popular he is as a leader with recent polls showing he is still up there.</p> -
<p>Perhaps it is because this is the first right wing govt since social media took hold?</p>
-
<p>possibly helped create all the keyboard warriors and tough guys, either way I see comments every day on social media that I cant believe these people would say in real life.</p>

<p>Well you could have put a health warning or something on that. That's given me brain fever or something. No other explanation for the 30 IQ points I lost when I clicked on the link.</p> -

<p>Relevant and another example of why I consider the State shouldn't fund broadcasters. <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.whaleoil.co.nz/2016/02/why-are-radionz-and-john-campbell-allowing-death-threats-against-the-prime-minister/'>http://www.whaleoil.co.nz/2016/02/why-are-radionz-and-john-campbell-allowing-death-threats-against-the-prime-minister/</a></p>

<p>Ha, wrong. My better half is the whitest Maori around, she doesn't like eggs or seafood though so she's clearly an imposter.</p> -
<p>she don't need to like eggs to cook em! :idiot2:</p>

<p>That's funny cos it's true. She buys those big cheap nasty trays. I thought I was only a beer snob but turns out I'm an egg snob too. Free range don't fall apart when you poach them and have a much healthier colour.</p> -

THIS. Quality eggs is up there in terms of importance with quality of steak/fish.<br><br>
Storing good quality eggs in a sealed jar/tupperware with a whole truffle is awesome, infuses the flavour straight in through the shells.<br><br>
Shit, wrong thread...</p>
