UnCanned Response to Issue

I'm new. I'm just curious why can't we write a proper response to the issues? I understand the need to assign values and scoring to the responses, however there are a number of natural language processing programs out there. In fact there is some software by a professor of communication at ASU that might be helpful. I digress.

I did find any of the responses available to me to be adequate. Rather they, though well thought out, represented extreme positions. I suppose that is the purpose of the "dimiss issue". Notwithstanding, since the issue treamtent defines our nations, a more satisfactory and representative way of responding to the issues would enhance the game play and the realism.

Thanks for this great idea!

Read the FAQ (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=faq). The issue choices aren't supposed to be reasonable or realistic, as this is a game of political satire. Were this an attempt at running a real nation, your suggestion would be excellent ... but that's not why this game is here.
