Well here I go... Comment on it. Also tell me if I made any format errors.

A group of moral activists want to ban pornography in @@NATION@@.

[option] @@RANDOMNAME@@, a moral activist, screams, "Pornography is evil! Think of the children! We must protect them from this evil scourge!"
[effect] pornography has been banned
[stats] nudest rating goes down, medium decrease in civil rights

[option] @@RANDOMNAME@@, a paranoid civil rights proponent, says, "First pornography, next the press! We must protect all forms of expression, and pornography is just as legitimate and deserving of protection as any other! Those women are really hot too."
[effect] pornography is considered protected free speech
[stats] nudest rating goes up, medium increase in civil rights, small increase in economy, small decrease in morality ratings

[option] "Frankly, we're all clinging on to an outdated value system." says @@RANDOMNAME@@, the leader of a nudist colony. "We should be more comfortable with nakedness and sexuality and more open about it. We should teach children that there's nothing to be ashamed of!"
[effect] schoolchildren are encouraged to "be proud of their sexuality"
[stats] nudest rating goes up, medium increase in civil rights, small increase in education, small decrease in morality ratings

I believe that most people who are against porn are against it because of feminist reasons, not moral. There should be an option for those people. Like instituting gender quotas on porn or banning porn that degrades women or something. I don't know.

You're mixing nudism and pornography into one pot. They are not the same. Nudism is the decent and wholesome form of nakedness, porno is the lewd and crude form. Nudism increases happiness and social freedoms and decreases crime. Porno decreases happiness and social freedoms and greatly increases cirme. You need to sort out your concepts a bit.

I like the idea of the issue about porno. But I don't think you've got the effects the right way around.

You're also going to need more substance in those options.
Have a read of Sirocco's issue writing FAQ at the top of this forum, it will lead you in the right direction.

I always considered this issue to be outright ridiculous. If you are against porno, why waste your time attempting to ban it, (which will never come to pass I might add), when you could instead be finding ways to sheild both yourself, as well as your children from it. TV, movie, and game ratings are there for a reason. I think the whole argument could be solved in just one simple quote, "If you don't like it, you don't hafta watch it." Or read it, or look at it, (not that I ever would....). :D

There is already a issue for this one.

We need new original issues

effect on opiton 2 in stead of porn judt being protected
say porn is a regulare part of day time tv

There is already a issue for this one.


Haven't got it or seen it in that case...

hell i think they should get rid of a minimum age for porn...i mean c'mon, how come 18 year-olds can get cigarettes which will probably kill our civilization...that should be raised if not banned. But porn....i mean jesus, at least that form of relaxation and pleasure doesnt have the side affect of death :mad:

Alright, draft 2. I need a suggestion for the stats effect in option 2.

You win the prize.

Maybe more equality, more crime, something like that?

It's been submitted. I'll leave the stats of option 2 a mystery, just for a little stupid, cheap suspense.

who will it apply to

Any nation with at least a "good" civil rights rating. Those lower aren't likely to have porno legal anyway.
