"We should be able to burn the flag as a sign of protest. I say ignore those crazy red blooded fanatics who won't let us! After all it's because we are a tolerant nation that we should allow it!" says Falala Wu, civil rights activist, while trying to wave a burning flag without lighting anybody nearby on fire.
[Accept]


"Burning should be allowed for everything! Down with the pig cops and their repressive regime!" says known well known anarchist and arsonist Colin Winters, from the comfy and non-flamable confines of a prison cell. "Burn! Burn burn burn! Everything! Kyahahaha!"
[Accept]


"These barbarians are suggesting burning the flag of our glorious nation as if it were a piece of scrap cloth! First it's burning the flag, and before you know it, it's rebellion and anarchy!" Max Silk scowls, "Flag burning should be punishable by jail terms and a good flogging."
[Accept]

Does that option lower political freedoms or civil rights (I'm wondering because I'm trying to stay a Free-Market Paradise with Some civil rights, it's a pain to do). And if you have the government nominate the Supreme Court members (in Supreme Court Nomination), does that lower political freedoms?

Is it possible option 3 lowers political rights since people are unable to express dissatisfaction with the government? I've always been a little confused between civil and political rights.

e.g. The gold issue where you seize it from people LOWERS political rights????

I'm pretty sure option 3 does nothing for civil rights and lowers political freedoms.


(option 2 is the best :twisted: )

Me, too. Can anyone clarify or point to an official definition?

Yeah, that result surprised me, too. And it increased by two steps. I thought it would be a civil right and affect the economy but it didn't.

I selected that and it lowered my political freedoms two steps, increased my civil rights one step and increased my tax rate by 4%. Bah.

Do you know what the effects of chosing either one or two are?
