Question: Students from many universities in Gods Glory are protesting about the rising financial cost of studying at university and are demanding that the government provide more financial aid to students.

Answer: "OH GOD NO THE EXPENSE!" screeches Billy-Bob Mistletoe, your minister of Education before eventually calming down. "No, no. This is not a good idea. Do you know how high the tax rate is already without introducing something like this? We should be making tuition fees higher if anything. University is a privilege, not a right, and only the elite should be allowed within those walls. And by elite, of course, I mean rich."

Very nice choices out of 4, the only one Conservatives would agree with you guys add in the only rich deserve to go to college.

If you don't like the issue, dismiss it. Then it has no effect whatsoever on your nation.

Gods Glory, no purpose but trolling will be served by going through the issues one by one and posting your perception of implicit bias.

You would spend your time better going through this thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=338362&page=7) to see how issues are written. Two things should then become clear to you: the issues are carefully written so that no choice is 100% appealing, and their effects are manifold and, in some cases, deliberately hidden. Consider this, for example --

The structure of a three-option issue is (usually) made up of FOR, AGAINST, and FREAKY COMPROMISE. The 'freaky compromise' is where you can really let your imagination run wild, but keep it at least vaguely sensible. The freaky compromise could be something like 'Hey, one way of lowering divorce rates is just to stop people marrying in the first place!' The freaky compromise is usually an extreme option.

If that's not clear enough, there's this:

... try to aim for an issue which, when a recipient decides on it, leaves a lingering feeling that the wrong one has been made) and ends with a very biased statement ...

The issues, except for the first ... 30, I think it is ... have been written by dozens of different people, all of whom have have had differing biases. They do, however, share one overwhelming, one-eyed, prejudiced, biased, slanted outlook, in common with the originator of this site:

THEY HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR!
