That gambling ban ruined me

Haha, that particular issue was clever in the fact that it cornered you between implementing child labor as a policy, or gambling being outlawed. The best bet for that sort of issue was to dismiss it in my opinion.

You can’t undo policies nor legislation already previously passed. Don’t worry, however, another issue will pop up in time for you to potentially reverse the policy if you choose the option correctly.

I would have kept gambling but i was so uncomfortable with the whole children part

What do you think?

Should I apply to the World Assembly?
I need some opinions, because I'm not certain.

Thank you for your opinion, Gongiyga.

New Question of the Day!

Do you think humanity has it in themselves to right their previous grievances out and focus on ushering a new era of pro-environmentalism and undo the effects of climate change? Or are we destined to fall under this slippery slope?

Depends on the People, but I think that it is possible.

Salutations, fellow nations. The Breezy Islefolk have taken home to the Valley of Peace. On behalf of the Breezy Isles, we look forward to meeting with and learning from other nations in our pursuit of a world worth living in.

Given the amount of countries that are already doing something about climate change, I think we have a pretty good chance at stopping it

The era we live in is one of misinformation, but also, a renaissance of readily accessible information. We have access to news and events that were not only inaccessible in the past, but inconceivable. There is certainly a trend of people "typing it fast and letting it slip their mind", but you have to wonder what state the modern world would be in without people engaging with it at all. I believe that this engagement will only be strengthened in the future and serve to ensure the most critical of world issues cannot be hidden from the majority. Such as, environmentalism.

The source of many dissenting voices against pro-environmentalism are either inconsequential in terms of influence or an entity with something to gain or benefit. The source of many voices pushing pro-environmentalism seem to be those fearful of their own future and the future of others. Fear is powerful. Governments peddle fear to control their populace, but in the case of environmentalism the fear is in the world's control; not any governing body's.

Prices will be paid. The environment cannot be so easily controlled, but rather than relinquish that control, entities will play into it. They will find a way to achieve what is enough to satiate the people and their futures. Beyond that, they will try to find their own angle to benefit or gain from it or choose not to push it beyond what is the essential minimum.

May we hope to build a world worth living in.

Open letter to the nations of the Valley of Peace.

Please do not shoot jaguars for 'looking at people a certain way'.

sorry for the certain lack of activity, I'm doing fine, don't worry.

Police forces already seem to act with an uneven amount of discretion. Vigilantism is an even rockier boat.

Question of the Day

Do you support group vigilantes in supporting and enforcing the law of that of countries in replacement or alongside the police force and other civil authorities?

the police can't, and more often won't, go after all the people who need to be dealt with. vigilantism obviously isn't always good but it can be a helpful and sometimes very necessary part of justice being served

Not really. I believe that in rare cases vigilantes may be okay, but most times not. As mentioned by others, police tend to “operate above the law” and already have lots of slack for mistakes, which can be deadly, and unnecessary force, etc. Vigilantes may be okay when, and if police disappear, become useless in a high crime world, or if police are overwhelmed. Reminds me of partisans in Ukraine. In a situation like that, vigilantes may be okay as their is a common enemy/evil. Otherwise, I don’t really support vigilantes.

No, vigilantes almost never end up well, either they get seriously injured or killed, or they do something stupid and end up breaking the law themselves
