The Holy Empire of Saralto has arrived in the region, and we are open for business.

I thought you'd all appreciate this issue I just received.

The Issue

In a bid to provide a new revenue stream for Doom-veria's Beef-Based Agriculture industry, it has been suggested that Doombots could be added to the menu.
The Debate

1. "The fact is, the Doombot population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Konrad Gutenberg. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have Doombot kebabs, Doombot pies, Doombot-on-a-sticks--the possibilities are endless! Let's not pass up this golden opportunity to provide a feast, if you will, for our economy."
[Accept]

2. "I agree that something needs to be done about Doombot over-population," says random passer-by Pete Rifkin, "but eating them? That's kind of gross. Let's just shoot the ones we have to and shovel their bodies into ditches like normal."
[Accept]

3. "I am shocked and appalled!" declared SPCA President Johann Licorish. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The Doombots were here first, remember? We need to take this as a sign to get our industry--agriculture in particular--to back off. The Doombot is part of what makes Doom-veria a great nation!"
[Accept]

Man, I just got some lame issue about social inequality.

I voted we kill and eat the Doombots!

Over population is a problem, and it helps our economy. Plus we can use their Hide for Armor!!!

Anyone else get the question about bulldozing the rain forest to mine Uranium?

Puh-lease. I'm far to busy dealing with my large population of Doombots, for my meat industry.

I'm willing to export Doombot meat, hide, and bi-product.

Scodrag's Current issue

The Issue

A group of emergency room doctors has petitioned the government to introduce mandatory organ donations.
The Debate

1. "It's not as crazy as it sounds," says Dr. Naki Dredd. "Every day, people die because we don't have the organs to save them. Well, that and widespread under-funding of the health system. But the point is, if the government allowed us to take organs from dead people, we could save hundreds of lives a year. And come on, it's not like dead people need them."
[Accept]

2. "You keep your damn hands off my organs!" says alarmed hospital patient Akira O'Bannon. "They are my organs, and I'll do with them what I like. The government has no right to my body."
[Accept]

Both of my nations had the Nazi protester issue.

The option I wanted wasn't there.

The Issue

Far-right-wing Nazi supporters plan to stage a rally in the city center tomorrow, giving voice to their violent, racist views.

The Debate

1. "Frankly, I'm appalled that the government can even consider allowing this travesty to go ahead," says prominent Jewish personality Calvin Thiesen. "We can't let these animals broadcast their message of hate. Surely Thawmus is too civilized for that."

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

2. "It's exactly because we're civilized that we must let the demonstration proceed," says free speech campaigner Roxanne Steele. "We may not like what they have to say, but in this society, people have the right to argue whatever political view they want, no matter how hateful, selfish, or stupid it is."
[Accept]


Here's the option I was hoping for:

3. You want to give out a message of hate? Okay, sure. No problem. Just be warned, if there's any violence whatsoever, our state-sanctioned sniper on the neighboring rooftop will be given a green light. So watch your ###!

*sigh*, they didn't represent option 2 very well, there. The other reason you wouldn't want it mandatory, is because you don't want to make doctors greedy for that ToD calling. We've all heard horror stories about organ donors given up on, so that their organs can be harvested. It's a scary concern for a lot of people.



That being said, it's a cool issue. A lot better than whether or not I should stamp out the Nazis.....

I think a Doombot population problem is clearly the best issue out there.

I know, but it's still pretty much a no-brainer for me. Option 2. There should be a more sensible argument but really mandatory organ donations? No thanks.

Oh, there's no doubt about it.

I shudder to think of the day when we get to make a similar stance over the Orcs in our country.
