I enjoy making issue choices that direct the course of my nation. I don't enjoy loaded, one-sided, self-indulgent editorialised spew like this:
______________________________________________
This weekend, a citizen's group calling itself Gun Owners of Placidosis has petitioned Congress with a controversial bill making gun ownership compulsory.

1. "This is a very important step to securing the rights and lives of our families and controlling the government," urges noted gun ownership proponent Colin Rubin. "Not only would it significantly decrease crime, but it would also effectively stop government tyranny in its tracks. Of course, this also means that every wacko and their cousin will have a gun, but don't worry, you'll have a gun to defend yourself from them, so it will all work out."
[Accept]

2. "While the Gun Owners of Placidosis have the safety and security of our people in mind, it would simply be impractical to enforce," comments Police Chief Alexei Washington. "A better option would be to legalize, and encourage use of, concealed carry laws, which would allow responsible citizens to keep firearms with them at all times, on their person, to kill any wacko or their cousin who they think is threatening them."
[Accept]

3. "Compulsory gun ownership?! Concealed carry?! Are these fools nuts?!" rants an enraged Million Mummy March activist. "We don't need any of these things! What we need is complete gun registration, so that the government can track down dangerous people, like those people who possess unregistered weapons."
[Accept]

So; guns, guns or pro gun sarcasm? I wasn't about to vote on this mess. Come to Placidosis with your gunpowder penis and you can expect to be shark food. Dismissed.

C-C-C-COMBO BREAKERRRR

Sorry, I so rarely get a chance like that...

What was worse was that idiotic new issue that gave me the options of

A) banning all civilians from carrying guns

B) banning everyone from carrying guns

C) cracking down on hollywood movies that promote violence?!?!

I rarely ever dismiss issues, because I feel that's taking the easy way out, but I dismissed that issue because it was absolutely ridiculous.

All the issues are extreme in their own little ways. Usually to ridiculous extents.

i agree with every post up to this one, except for this one quoted from.


But this is "Anything & Everything" and "General"

so it certainly can be in here as well as elsewhere.
hahaha

I dismiss all issues that don't have an option that matches my viewpoint.


(yeah, I dismiss a lot of issues.) :p

Guns kick ass.

If you looked at my nation you probably wouldn't think I'm pro-gun because its like a far left wonderland, but that's how I am, I'm very liberal but very pro-2nd ammendment.

Guns kick ass.

You're lucky. I only have guns that fire projectiles... :(

I would be pleased if every time someone fired a gun they also got a good ass kicking - from the gun.

I might as well make this complete and tell myself: wrong forum!

Thx for not just baleting it.

No.
Read the forum descriptions. Issue questions belong in the Got Issues forum.
Technical questions belong in the Technical forum.
Moderation questions belong in the Moderation forum.

Please don't give advice when you're so new you don't know how the site works.

Twenty points! :p

A mod has moved it ;)

Oh, ah, sorry.
I did not think I was giving advice.
But being slightly tongue in cheek.
Perhaps I should have said
"But isn't this is "Anything & Everything" and "General"?"
instead of
"But this is "Anything & Everything" and "General""


and
"so certainly it could be in here as well as elsewhere?"
instead of
"it certainly can be"

I see, especially this 2nd one.

I guess it just seemed like such a comment on an issue as the person brought up might be something for everybody to see. It doesn't seem like even people who have been around for a while, if they are not a mod, would read such stuff under "got issues" (or even all the rules top to bottom on any forum).

Again, sorry.
