But there is the argument about free speech within society. Of course I chose what you chose but if you repress one section of society you're obviously not a society that values civil and political rights. On the other hand, they're Nazis so this isn't an issue. |

Because I wanted to. I vote on what ever I want, rather than what will benefit the nation as a whole. Hence our motto "Where Is your god now?" Otherwise I wouldn't have chosen to be an Evil holy empire |

1. "Look, I don't like it either," said Chamber of Commerce spokesperson Billy Wong. "Just on the way here, I had to step over three homeless people, and one of my shoes got caught on a beggar. But inequality is the price we pay for economic strength. If anything, we need fewer taxes, so those of us who are well-off can afford to be more generous. If we want to, that is." [Accept] 2. "I think we've forgotten what economic strength is all about," says social worker Billy-Bob Johnson. "The economy is meant to be a means to a high standard of living, not an end in itself. It's become an excuse for the rich to prosper while the poor fall through the cracks. Not everyone is poor because they don't feel like working. We must provide more welfare." [Accept] 3. "Who says we're an international pariah?" demands military honcho Konrad Bush. "What are their names? If that's the way the international community feels, we obviously need to prepare for war." This is the position your government is preparing to adopt. Im anctious to see what's to come of this |

"Don't tell me space colonies wouldn't be cool," says excited fifth-grade teacher Buffy Jefferson, still wearing big Spock ears from his last convention. "Think of how they would galvanize the national population! And there would also be some kind of scientific benefit, probably." [Accept] "The project certainly is feasible, but very expensive," says Neo-Titans Space Agency Head Klaus Dredd. "We could make it less of a burden on the taxpayers if we sought funding from private industry -- advertisements on the side of our rockets, selling contracts to the Arms Manufacturing industry, that kind of thing." This is the position your government is preparing to adopt. "If God had meant Man to fly, he would have given us solid rocket boosters instead of legs," says religious type Freddy O'Bannon. "We should not be looking to the stars, but rather inside our own hearts. That's why we should abandon this so-called space program, and instead make the teaching of religion mandatory in all schools." [Accept] Oooh this sounds fun. |

he Issue A haggard group of new recruits in Homelesstopia's army have spoken out against the brutal conditions experienced in their military training. The Debate 1. "It's atrocious!" wails Private Steffan Licorish, from amidst the cacophony of a parade cadence. "We're forced to sleep in crowded barracks, on hard cots, and do the most inhumane exercises when we wake up! Just today I've had to crawl through a muddy minefield, climb a grease-coated wall, and to top it all off, get mangled by an angry drill sergeant! All we want is a little respect from the officers - maybe to sleep in until noon, and not have to get all sweaty and tired doing stupid things like marching and climbing ropes. Oh, and private bedrooms too - we're risking our lives for the country, after all." [Accept] 2. "THEY WANT WHAT?!" screams Sgt. Burkz, while pressing back a rising vein on her neck. "This is WAR, not DAYCARE! If anything, the training standards should be tougher! If I want to whip some pasty-faced, beer-gutted greenhorn because he can't climb over a razor-wire fence then I should be be given the permission to do so right away! The cry-babies won't like it, but they can run home back to their rich daddies if that's the way they're having it. War isn't a walk in the park, and training shouldn't be either. For all our sakes." [Accept] 3. "Training, what a load of old hooey," says renowned spendophobe and radio announcer, Jack Frederickson. "The only thing it teaches our soldiers is how to shine boots and fight plastic dummies. We'd be better off if we just dropped them into the fight so they could learn to shoot for themselves. There might be a few accidents, but it'll be worth it for all the Vagrants we'll save." [Accept] 4. "There is another way, you know..." whispers Buy McGuffin, the Chief of Secret Projects and Shiny Things in Homelesstopia's military research department. "What if we started taking children and raising them from birth to fight? We'd be able to make them completely immune to propaganda, psychological warfare, and demoralisation. Not only would that stop the crying new recruits, it'd also give us a powerful military edge. People may not like giving up their kids, but that's why we run the country. We know better." [Accept] XD |

The Issue After a series of bloody wars between the nations of Maxtopia and North Bigtopia, fights have broken out in the streets between immigrants in Sarbelan who came from the warring nations. The Debate "Foreigners are a major cause of civil disturbances," begins Larry Longbottom, whose opinions form the book '101 Arguments FOR Slavery'. "What we should do is make all immigrants, foreigners, and non-native Sarbelan folks slaves! I mean, who in Sarbelan wouldn't like a minority slave group to do his bidding? Imagine! People could be bought and sold over the Internet!" [Accept] "I am shocked and appalled at what my colleague is suggesting!" exclaims Peggy Spirit, President of the Civil Rights Union of Sarbelan. "Slavery? We should punish these offenders, yes, but send them to rehabilitation centres instead! As for the ethnic squabbles, programs in school should begin to stop these racist attitudes in childhood! All it will take is some slight fortification to the education budget!" [Accept] A quiet old man stands up to speak. "Now, I may be a quiet old man, but I believe that these ethnic disputes are none of the government's business. It's not our war anyway, so it's not our problem. I'm sure if you leave it alone, it'll work itself out. Just think of the money that would be saved if the police don't have to be paid to deal with this!" [Accept] "It's not our war? It's not our war?" cries (in)famous Sarbelan-born fascist Alexei Fellow. "Well maybe it's time it became our war! Sarbelan should take a more active, and by 'active' I mean 'hostile', role in international politics! This ethnic squabbling will be over when the war is over, and WE can end that war and purge the impure! Men at their best are hardly more than boys.! Sieg Sarbelan!" Is that a Gihren I see? |

Several musicians have recently produced songs in which "Violet" sings silly and offensive things, causing outcries of horror from the Order of Violet. The Debate "THIS IS BLASPHEMY!" shouts Gregory Dodinas, Grand High Poobah of the Order of Violet. "Our holy scriptures specifically forbid any portrayal of our prophet's most holy voice. We cannot permit people to slander and mock our prophet and insult all of us. These people are simply doing this to see if we are extremists. Death to the blasphemers!" [Accept] Speaking anonymously and from hiding, one of the musicians says, "It was just meant to be a joke! I never thought that they'd take it so seriously. I just wanted to give them a little ribbing like I do the other major religions of Pastafarianism and Frisbeetarianism." Johann Steele glances over their shoulder to see if anyone is watching, "Please don't try to figure out who I am. I'm scared for my safety. The government should protect my freedom to insult whomever I want. Freedom of speech should hold nothing sacred, not even God." [Accept] "Freedom of speech is important, but so is freedom of religion. Surely we can strike some sort of balance?" says Falala Longbottom, chief spokesperson for the TSOC (the Tangowr Society of Compromisers). "Freedom of speech comes with a responsibility. People must avoid anything that insults another's religion, and if they aren't willing to do it themselves, the government must enforce it." [Accept] "His Holiness, the Grand High Poobah of Violet, has the right idea, but the wrong religion," says Falala Utopia, the Prelate of Primary Public Relations for the fanatical organization Tangowr's Concerned Citizens for Our God. "This nation needs an official religion, and not support the Godless heathens who worship the idolotrous Violet. Appoint me as your spiritual adviser an I'll ensure that all people worship God in the correct way." [Accept] "They've got it all wrong. Freedom of speech isn't the problem, religion is!" shouts Akira Rubin, at a local AA (Atheists Anonymous) meeting. "If religion were outlawed, this problem would solve itself. Just send them in for medical treatment. After all, anyone who believes in some big invisible dude who can do anything is clearly nuts." [Accept] ....hmm...which to choose. And the second issue Secularists have been urging for the government to impose an income tax on religious organizations in Tangowr for some time now, and the issue has finally made it's way to the upper levels of the government. The Debate Self-appointed civil rights spokesman Klaus Trax declares, "Churches are business organizations with a large income. It's unfair that they don't have to pay the same taxes that everyone else does. If they really do spend on any money on charity, let them write it off as a deduction just like corporations do. There's no reason that so-called clergy should be chauffeured around in limos tax-free, when we desperately need funds for public works." [Accept] "Freedom of conscience is foremost among liberties," says Reverend Melbourne Shiomi. "Churches have been exempted from taxation because it is wrong for the government to infringe on the right of people to worship as they please, and that includes charging them for the right to worship. Besides, churches are non-profit organizations that put all their funds back into the community." [Accept] The Honorable Falala Barry, Minister of Minding Other People's Business, has an idea: "This religion thing is such a great racket, why don't we make it a government monopoly? We'll ban all religions except the Church of Tangowr, and make attendance and donations compulsory. I'll start writing the Holy Scriptures right away!" This is the position your government is preparing to adopt. |
