FJ Nation 93: Greens & ProteinsshirigamiRank: #3377 FunisvotingBlocksBlocks prevnext Prev Next Hey, FJNS! Shirigami here. Where did these Issues come from? The answer may or may not surprise you, because even to me, they're a couple of strangers. I'm also a stranger to Issues No. 420 and No. 1325 since my personal nation doesn't have drugs or cannibalism. A stick in the mud, I know. At least I'm not the nation that qualifies for the least Issues possible. I think they get the same hundred on repeat. join list: FunnyStates (51 subs)Mention History RESULTS:Issue No. 1036: When in Maxtopia "At least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Leader's wardrobe."Issue No. 1156: Pet Theory "You can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health."Issue No. 334: Blot Out Bauhaus? "Surrealist houses shaped like mushrooms and volcanoes dominate the wealthiest neighborhoods." ISSUES:Issue No. 420: Caught Green Handed The Issue: A surprising number of politicians from all walks of life have admitted to smoking Maxtopian Grass and other soft drugs. Some are calling this a fragrant disregard of the law, while others believe this should spark a major shift in the nation’s War on Drugs. Debate Points: 1. “Isn’t this typical?” scoffs columnist Hammurabi Stewart, “Once again these crooked politicians are getting away with things that would put us regular folk in jail. The government is sending a very mixed message by not acting on this. They decry drugs, yet several of their own are known users. If the government has any sense of credibility they would send these criminals to jail with the rest of the druggies.” 2. “On the contrary; this sends a very clear message,” replies a man with a large beard while smoking an unidentifiable substance, “The latest surveys show that the majority of citizens disagree with the government on this issue. More people than ever before are supporting legalization, particularly among youth. It seems like a few of our politicians have finally caught on. Instead of punishing these brave men and women for a victimless crime, let’s do something positive and legalize the stuff already.” 3. “I’ve got an idea!” suggests Maria Burns, an advisor you thought you’d fired last month, “We can’t alienate our conservative base by legalizing drugs, but we also don’t want to send our political allies to jail. What if all the politicians wrapped up in this scandal set the record straight by saying they didn’t inhale? That’s what we experts call deniable plausibility.” 4. Dismiss the Issue Green Party? No tolerance level. A new deal. Smoking looks cool. Dismiss. Vote!

It is most prevalent among connoisseurs of human flesh. Debate Points: 1. “Kuru is an insidious disease that eats at the brain and is spread by the consumption of infected cerebra.” Your physician, Björk McFly, slams a hefty book titled Grey Matter Anatomy on your desk. “Ensure the sufferers get the best possible care at our hospitals, so they can live their last days with dignity. Then, give up this cannibalism experiment so that we don’t get outbreaks of diseases from the handling of human meat ever again.” 2. “Why dearie, we’d be outta business!” pipes up the proprietor of Mrs. Lovett’s Pies, placing some piping hot pies on some plates. “The easiest solution to this kuru thing is to ban brains in food. Also, you oughta get yer government to promote and subsidize us purveyors of wholesome foods, like me steak pies, which use the finest cuts of human rump. We would make a killing having curious cannibals and grub-lovers going on exotic food tours to me humble shop.” 3. Your brother, sensing an opportunity, pages through the book. “This says that symptoms of kuru include body tremors, outbursts of laughter, and poor coordination. Basically, the average dimwitted fast food worker. Round up the diseased and consign them to fill society’s most dangerous and undesirable jobs - if they die, well, it was going to happen anyways. Then, we can harvest their meat and neurological tissue to generate a never-ending supply of ‘zombies.’” 4. Dismiss the Issue Mind & Body Care? Decease and desist. Eat my ass. Pay it no mind. Dismiss. Vote! (View results) Where are your fingers? Hopefully navigating you through the polls and to this end section. But until next time, thanks for voting. Well, I said I studied Portugal in school, and now it's time for me to flex that knowledge! Except not, because this legal trivia has nothing to do with what I learned about Portugal. Unfortunate enough to get overshadowed by its successor state, but fortunate enough to share the longest standing alliance ever with a kindred spirit, Portugal's a rather understated nation. Being West European and 50% coastline, it's another country that takes pride in beach scene. And as such, there is absolutely no peeing in their ocean. Hypothetically. Neither I nor the trivia list know how or even if they enforce this. It looks good on paper though. prevnext +7 -Favorite +Favorite Unblock User's Content Block User's Content Sub/Block Channels Funisvoting:UploadUnblockBlockSubUnsubsubs: 297
