Why can't we make our own decissions?

[WWECX]

Every time when I solve the issues i thought why can't we make our own decissions instead of choosing one from the options. Maybe some will say you can dismiss the issue, but why? Why dismiss an issue when you have an idea of your own?
For example(this is one of the issues of my own today):

Topic:"Give Us Money!" Quoth the Poet
The Issue
The National Poetry Society of WWECX is demanding government-funded programs to promote the arts, especially poetry.
The Debate
1."We need government help to promote culture." says Prudence Dredd, chairperson of the National Poetry Society of WWECX. "Poetry is the soul of our nation, the very pulse of humanity! We will ultimately be judged according to our contribution to artistic enlightenment. In other words, please provide funding for our humble mission to bring the beauty of poetry to the masses!"
2."Artists and poets should support themselves, like everyone else," replies Tobias Hanover, spokesperson for the Capitalism Now Party. "The suffering taxpayers should be given a break. In fact, we should abolish all government subsidies for special interest groups."
3."Poets--who needs them?!" scoffs Aaron Wu, Chairperson Emeritus of the Troglodyte Coalition. "These long-haired troublemakers should all be lined up against the wall and shot! That would be far more entertaining than reading some dumb poems!"

Now I don't want to give subsidies to poetry, but I don't want to cancel all the subsidies, does this mean I can only dismiss this issue? Like all the others I dismissed?
Why can't there be a option to let us make our own decissions, and it wont be very hard, just add another part in the forum and everyone vote for what will be the effect of the decission. Then they'll have some reward for doing that, it's win-win!

Topic:Protesters Have Gone Too Far, Claim Police
The Issue
A group protesting against the WWECX government began a riot yesterday which resulted in the death of Mr. Benson, a police officer.
The Debate
1."This is an outrage!" cries Police Chief Anne-Marie Trax. "The people of WWECX just don't know how good they have it! Our nation is a gem compared to many others, but if you give an inch they will take a mile. I had to tell officer Benson's wife yesterday that their child will grow up without a father. Do I think public protests should be outlawed? You're damn right I do."
2."It all happened so fast," says Clint Summers, one of the protesters. "The crowd was just chanting, you know... and then they tear gassed us. I saw one cop, this Mr. Benson, club a teenager right in the face! For what? Speaking his mind! That's when the crowd rushed him. I'm sorry he's dead, but the police think they have a right to do whatever they want - things get out of hand sometimes. I think the police department should keep out of the way when we're protesting - even if things do get... excited."
3."It's because protests get out of hand sometimes that we need a police presence," argues PC Steffan Longbottom eventually after singing the national anthem to you. "Even violent protestors have a right to feel safe on the streets. If that means we have to die to protect the innocent, then that means we have to die. I think protests should be restricted to a designated area where police can keep an eye on the protestors. Then everything can go nice and smoothly and no one will have to worry about being beaten to death."

I wont just let the police die for nothing, but which debate will work out fine?

My idea wasn't hard at all, I could even do it myself if they could let me edit the website, I bet they could do better than I do, so are they just too "lazy" to do it because they wont earn anything?

Thread belongs in gameplay.

What are decissions?

If you mean decisions, if everyone could choose whatever they wanted, it'd defeat the purpose of issues in the first place. If that's whatyou really want, dig up one of the old threads on what answers to give when you make you nation and then set it to no issues at all.

Maybe some will say you can dismiss the issue, but why?

Because you don't agree with any of the options.

Why dismiss an issue when you have an idea of your own?

Now we have something. You're big enough to write your own issues and give them the answers you want to see. (Just don't be too surprised if they don't get put into the game exactly how you like.)

Now I don't want to give subsidies to poetry, but I don't want to cancel all the subsidies, does this mean I can only dismiss this issue? Like all the others I dismissed?

The game's very nature is built on these Hobson's Choices.

Why can't there be a option to let us make our own decissions,

See above. (BTW, you don' need to bump your thread like this every few minutes.)

and it wont be very hard,

Actually, I expect it'd be quite difficult.

just add another part in the forum and everyone vote for what will be the effect of the decission.

That's exactly what the WA does.

Then they'll have some reward for doing that, it's win-win!

They who?

My idea wasn't hard at all, I could even do it myself if they could let me edit the website,

Sorry, but if they ever let anybody with a 4 post track record near the database. I'd be rather upset, and I expect a lot of other players would as well.

I bet they could do better than I do, so are they just too "lazy" to do it because they wont earn anything?

They who?

If you could, the it would be just too easy to mke your nation "perfect" (in your eyes).

Real problems don't have easy solutions, apparently.

If you don't feel like making any trade-offs, then yes, I guess.

I have no idea wtf this is even trying to say.

I do think that there should be some option where we get to pick what happens and stuff. Maybe a text box under all the other debates.

And what he's saying, I think, is set up a vote for an extra debate on each decision? idk

That's part of the issue. Like in RL, you don't know what could happen as a result of the legislation.
