FJ Nation 45: Handicaps & Having Your Parents Dress YoushirigamiRank: #3899BlocksBlocks prevnext Prev Next It's late now, and I have spent FAR too long looking for this one meme that I'm missing from my endless ******** log. I even have a ******** version that got reposted later at a lower resolution. I'll talk about that later though. Today, I have Issues No. 659 and No. 121 for you guys to answer. I'll bring you your RESULTS in the meantime. join list: FunnyStates (51 subs)Mention History RESULTS: Issue No. 1275: You Cruise, You Lose? "Tourists call Junky beach towns 'the fine coastline'."Issue No. 1237: A Polar Bear's Tale "Older citizens lament over the loss of law and order."Issue No. 221: Outdated Tex Code Crushing People's Republic of FunnyJunk "Prices for nearly everything reach all-time highs as business tax breaks are discontinued." ISSUES:Issue No. 659: Ramping Up the Difficulty The Issue: Earlier this week, you were supposed to meet with the first disabled team of explorers to conquer the icy slopes of the Bigtopian tundra. However, your office proved to be inaccessible to the adventurers and the meeting was cancelled. Disability awareness groups are outraged that those with impairments can’t access government buildings, many of which provide them the help and support they need. Debate Points: 1. “We must put an end to the discrimination against people with disabilities,” declares Bajrakitiyabha Scully, the spokesperson of the awareness group All Access, through a speech synthesizer. “Many of us face great difficulty in climbing steps, reading text, or listening to auditory sources or conveying messages. The government must improve the accessibility to premises and information so that we are treated fairly and have the ability to contribute to society.” 2. “It might sound nice to have more ramps and guide dogs, but the real problem isn’t infrastructure, it’s society’s treatment of the intellectually and physically disadvantaged,” observes François Bannon, a concerned parent. “If people had stopped to open doors, and to help the disabled athletes up the steps, then we wouldn’t need special adaptations to the buildings. Kindness and helpfulness should be taught at school, with kids learning to assist those who need help and to stop bullying them because they’re different. That’s the way to go forward.” 3. “Hold on a minute! Making modifications to historic government buildings is cultural vandalism and awfully expensive!” objects Lana Goldsmith, your rather obsessive Minister of Junky Heritage. “We can’t destroy centuries’ worth of history and deface the structures with modern architecture just to improve accessibility! I sympathize with these people’s plight, but our culture and history are too important to destroy!” 4. Dismiss the Issue Special Accommodations? Handicapable. Wheelies first. This will not stand! Dismiss. Vote! (View results) Issue No. 121: A Uniform Plan for the People's Republic of FunnyJunk's Students? The Issue: A random PTA meeting has brought the debate over school uniforms to your attention. Debate Points: 1. “I think uniforms are great,” says Ian Jackman, your Minister of Education during a cabinet meeting. “They instill a sense of community within our schools which lowers crime - and the pupils can go about their daily business without having to worry about being browbeaten by their classmates for not wearing the latest trainers. The People's Republic of FunnyJunk simply cannot do without them. If the children don’t like them, then hard cheese.” 2. “Dude, your plan stinks,” says Mia Popov, leader of The Students Union. “Our clothing is part of who we are; it lets us express ourselves just by passing someone in the corridor. To say we must wear these inhibiting uniforms is an affront to our personal freedom! So back off with the uniforms, dude, students should be allowed to go to school dressed however they like. Or not dressed, if that’s their style.” 3. Dismiss the Issue Dressed to the Neins? You're gonna like the way you look. They guarantee it. Freeballin' freedom. Dismiss. Vote!

This is that part where I told you all the posts were gonna be in that vertical format for a week, unfortunately, but it's going to be uneventful. Might fire a rifle if I'm lucky. Anyways, from the people who brought you the old county of Hampshire, the State of New Hampshire! When you think of a picnic, you may think of scenic things like: a bright sunny sky, beautiful green grass, row on row of tombstones, a gentle breeze. Well, too bad! New Hampshire has outright outlawed picnics in graveyards. Dine with the dead somewhere else, I guess. prevnext +6 -Favorite +Favorite Unblock User's Content Block User's Content
