One sided Issues

The Issue

Last night the respected tabloid TV show "60 Minutes" ran a report on Fleecedom's rising divorce rate. What is happening to the nuclear family?
The Debate

1. "There's a simple solution," says Pastor Felix, of the Catholic Church. "Divorce should be illegal. 'For better or worse,' anyone remember how that goes? We should return to the good old days, when you got married for life and stuck by your partner no matter how much of a drunken, abusive, adulterating disappointment they turned out to be."
[Accept]

2. John Black, author of the hit book, 'Men are from Mars, Women are from Some Whole Other Place,' has a simpler solution. "If couples would just call each other 'darling' once in a while, there would be far fewer relationship breakdowns. A little affection is all it takes. So the government should make it mandatory: call your spouse 'darling' at least once a day, or face a fine."
[Accept]

3. "There's a simple way to boost the marriage rate," says gay rights activist Melbourne Trax. "Abolish those arcane laws that discriminate against same-sex marriages. It's obscene to treat people differently because of their sexual preference. Besides, everyone knows gay relationships are more stable than straight ones."
[Accept]

Ok now how the hell does that allow people to make a choice? You can either choose the religeous nonsense, the compleatly stupid nationalistic option, or the homosexual option. What about the its not the governments buisness option? Or perhaps a mandatory month of counseling before divorce can be used. Or perhaps longer wiats to get married. Whatever but how about some decent options? It is nonsense that someone can right a issue like this where the only options besides the pro homosexual are idiotic. Its like your trying to force people to vote for homosexuality. Thats crap. If someone wants to allow it let them but dont try to trick others into it.

or the homosexual option.

When in doubt, resort to homosexuality - always the best and funnest course of action.

You can always just dismiss it. And the issues are designed to make you choose an extreme.

Descend all the way down to the ninth circle, shin up Lucifer, wander about in the blandness that is Purgatory a while, make your way to the glowing lights of the Kingdom of Heaven.*

All issues are designed without middle roads, just like real governments you have to choose an extreme option to garner public support.
