DESCRIPTION:Several pre-pubescent protestors, most of which having not yet reached fifth-grade, are demonstrating outside @@NAME@@'s Capitol, shouting in unison slogans such as "Down with Adult Supremacy!"

VALIDITY: Not valid for nations that already give equal treatment to minors

[option]"Throughout history, kids of all ages have been pressed down by the thumb of adult oppression, telling them that they are too young to realize their full potential," declares former third-grader @@RANDOMNAME@@, who is now a card-carrying member of the organization "Children for Minors' Empowerment", "But guess what? Contrary to what teachers would have you believe, age is actually a societal construct, used by grown-ups to keep kids under control. But we will no longer stand to be under control. We at CfME say that those days are over! We demand that youngsters like us shall be able to drive cars, own businesses, and run for office just like the adult elite! It is time for society to see people for who they are, not for their 'age'."
[effect]people are treated equally regardless of age
[stats]civil rights and political freedoms increase, economy decreases badly

[option]"'Pressed under the the thumb of adult oppression?' What juvenile nonsense," snorts schoolteacher @@RANDOMNAME@@, "The last thing this country needs is yet another bunch of pampered brats not satisfied with what they've got. You think you should be able to run the affairs of a country when you haven't even completed your education yet? Equal rights for unqualified kids my foot!"
[effect]children and adults receive different treatment
[stats]civil rights decrease, economy benefits greatly

I like it. :)

A bit of tidying up here and there, perhaps snappier effects and I can see it doing OK. :wink:

I think that some of the kids should be holding their teddy bears, or a few wandering off, during the protests. And those are a lot of big words for 4th grader! :P :lol: :wink:

I think the issue needs an option where it backfires on the protesters and the kids get less freedom then they already have.

This is a good idea. I'd like to see how it would change the country.

indeed, and also for their parents.....and grandparents....and other relatives and why not for every-one.

What would the option be? What is your suggestion?

well, it would only be fun for dictators, something like: "Why do you think there's Adult Supremacy?" says @@randomname@@ "We have it because we have the most experience. Now, we should send those kids to labour camps to correct their ideas."

edit: i put copyright on that issue option :P

thanks :P

how about something like "the local parents union representive is urging that what the kids need is a good beating not more freedom, and if parents were allowed to treat kids like property instead of people then the kids would really learn things.

effect. civil rights go down but economy goes up because of sale of discipline and child education items.

I agree let's let the parents treat kids as property but child criminals get sent to labour camps. how about that? :twisted:

Just how old would you consider 'child'? Because that issue could seriously affect my life as a high school Sophomore. But overall, EXCELLENT issue.

it would affect everyone right up to the age of adulthood which in the U.S. is 18. I don't know what it is in the game. if I were to write the option/issue I would use 18 as the age before they stop being property.

I think that it would simply put 'children', and you work out for yourself what is a child.
