Bradendon2 Decides:
Ban The 'Boards, Say Pedestrians
The Issue
The conservative Northern-based parents group of "Housewives and Convicts for a Safer Bradendon2" has put forward a memorandum to ban skateboarding in public.
The Debate
"Skateboarding is a menace to pedestrians and road users," says activist Elizabeth Dredd. "Not to mention the astronomical number of skateboarding-related injuries - hundreds of children flood the emergency rooms of Bradendon2 as a result of skateboarding every year, which is costly to the taxpayers. Keep our streets safe and save a little cash at the same time. Hell, you could make even more money by ticketing those who violate this law."
[Accept]
"Ticketing children for getting out of the house and exercising?" asks Randy Barry, a school teacher, in disbelief. "That's outrageous! It's true that skateboarding can be dangerous but so is walking down the stairs! You want to ban that too?! What we should do is pass laws requiring safety equipment for skaters - if we allocate a little bit of the tax payers' money to the cause, we can build a skate park that will keep our children safe and away from others on the road too."
[Accept]
"Yo, dude, I've got a better idea," says Violet Utopia while executing a complicated 360° spin over your head. "What if skateboarding was the only way to get around? Wouldn't that be cool? Skateboarding is cheap, healthy, and fun! Everyone should do it! You could improve, like, the quality of life for everyone by banning vehicles and making skateboarding the only legal way to travel. People'd love you for it, man. Well, apart from the guys who make cars and the like, I guess."
