When I was first creating my brand spanking new nation, I thought I had a funny idea for the national animal. Imagine my surprise today when NationStates beat me at my own game. To say the least, the issue entitled "Average citizens on the Dinner Table?" made me take notice. Here, in its entirety, is today's agenda.
Average citizens on the Dinner Table?
The Issue
In a bid to provide a new revenue stream for Haeret's Beef-Based Agriculture industry, it has been suggested that average citizens could be added to the menu.
The Debate
"The fact is, the average citizen population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Zeke Barry. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have average citizen kebabs, average citizen pies, average citizen-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]
"I agree that something needs to be done about average citizen over-population," says random passer-by Lars Mombota, "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]
"I am shocked and appalled!" declared SPCA President Bianca Utopia. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The average citizens were here first, remember? We need to take this as a sign to get our industry--agriculture in particular--to back off. The average citizen is part of what makes Haeret a great nation!"
