The Issue
Due to the ongoing wars in neighboring countries, a recent rash of illegal immigrants have been caught at the borders of The Resi Corporation, prompting many citizens to call for tighter immigration laws.

The Debate
Abraham Shiomi of the The Resi Corporation National Purity League says "These illegal aliens are just an eyesore with their strange customs and funny languages. Uneducated immigrants like these only worsen crime and steal valuable jobs! I say we should boot them all out on their ears and put a big fence around the country!"
[Accept]


Freddy O'Bannon of the The Resi Corporation Civil Liberties Union says "We must welcome these refugees from any nation into our open arms, they are fleeing one oppressive dictatorial regime in the only way they know, we must not let them think they jumping from the frying pan into the fire!"
[Accept]


"Hold on there, hold on people!" says Jean-Paul du Pont of the The Resi Corporation Broadcasting company, "We don't have to take either extreme, all we have to do is make a TV game show out of it! We put deadly obstacles on the border and monitor it with television cameras! Those that make it across win freedom and citizenship, and those who don't, well, lets just say that our buzzards won't starve. We could call it 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?'!"

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.My God, I love this issue! :mrgreen:

I read it and now I can't stop gigling insanely.

The Issue
Due to the recent capture of a foreign terrorist in Roania, high-level military officials want the government to authorize torture to extract information about other terrorist activities.

The Debate
"Torture is the only way that we can get these idiots to tell us anything," says General Roxanne Chicago of Roania's special forces division. "After all, violence is the only shared language we have with these scum."

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.


"Are you kidding?" states political activist Naki Frederickson. "Torture never works. If anything, it should be outlawed. What do we want to become, genocidal maniacs?
[Accept]


"There's nothing wrong with torture, but we can't make it too obvious," says Secretary of Defense Freddy Wong. "How about we simply ask them nicely, and then, if they don't tell us, we kill them? That's better just from the intimidation."

RC, I got the great wall one as well. However I'm free to giving civil rights, so...

The Issue
Divers from a local scuba club have discovered an enormous underwater gold deposit that could be worth billions of union paws in one of Hell Bovines's lakes. It has also caused a huge debate over who should be allowed to plunder the goods.

The Debate
Hope Christmas, a cabinet member, would like the government to seize the deposit. "This is an excellent time to boost Hell Bovines's economy and increase our foreign trade with other countries! Who cares about the people that discovered the deposit? They've done their country a great favor and should let us have the money!"
[Accept]


Clint Hanover, a civil rights activist, vehemetley disagrees. "The deposit was found by private citizens and it should be their choice of what to do with the gold. If the government goes around stealing what is rightfully ours, then I shudder to think I live in such a corrupt country. These people discovered the gold, it's now their time to get rich! Nevermind the fact they were diving in a lake on government property!"
[Accept]


"We should do what now?" Environmentalist Elizabeth Mistletoe exclaims. "Do you have any idea how damaging it would be to the environment to mine the gold under that lake? Think of all the aquatic life that would be disrupted or destroyed! Think of how an otherwise pristine lake view would be ruined! Forget the gold and keep those money-grubbing pigs away from nature!"

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
