Do we have an issue about allowing foreign citizens who served as interpreters for military forces to immigrate? I know there are already quite a few generic immigration issues but the question of whether it falls under responsibility for past actions could give it an interesting twist.

Nope. Great idea!

Does this premise cross the line into being a Covid issue?

Developed by an obscure pharmaceutical company with close ties to the government of Dàguó, the drug Placebo has made international headlines as an alleged cure for the common cold, pancreatic cancer, stomach cramps, and frontotemporal dementia. The company has refused to allow any other country access to the drug, and several highly-placed intelligence assets have confirmed that yes, the drug is real, and no, you aren't going insane.

#107 already covers the "drug inventors restricting access" aspect.

Are there any issues on bombing Hospitals in war (like Kunduz) or massacring soldiers in hospitals (also in war)?

by **Golgothastan** » Thu Sep 24, 2020 4:41 pm

Not sure why I'm on a military kick lately - but is there an issue about something along the lines of IHAT or, more generally dealing with historic allegations of war crimes?

Are there any issues about trans people or standardized testing?

Don’t think so.

You’ll have to be more specific about the first. There’s several issues regarding trans rights and issues, but there may be room for others. We have issues about standardized testing.

Don’t think so.

In that case, would it be better to have the issue such that you're the country getting bombed, or you're the country bombing?

I think the latter is less godmodish. I can already hear the complaints about an issue that assumes Player's own country is under bombardment.

There almost certainly already is, but are there any issues related to scalping?

by **Nostalgiana** » Sun Sep 27, 2020 4:16 pm

Do we have a list of issues related to gun violence/control?

by **Jutsa** » Sun Sep 27, 2020 4:23 pm

To my knowledge, not specifically, no. We do, however, have a list of all issues which change the gun control policy, though.
Not exactly the same thing, but it's a good close approximation.

Just ctrl+f "gun control" here and you should be good to go.

I can do you one better..

Also don't forget to check Gun Ownership below that.

Also, umm, that makes me notice this.

Hey, going through an incredibly busy period (again) and haven't been around much lately.

Anyways, I saw this article and asked myself: "Would this make a good issue on NS?"

https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/28/europe/s ... index.html

I think it would, but perhaps there is already a similar issue about teachers and body modification? If there is no overlapping issue, I can attempt a draft, though.

Is there an issue that reinstates the upper house/abolishes the lower house?

Not as of yet, no.

Unless abolishing the lower house includes the abolishment of the entire legislature. Exclusively the lower house but not the upper house? Sounds vaguely familiar but I can’t recall. Take a look at the issue that abolishes the upper house, it may be in there but I don’t think so.

I mean there'd be one choice of reinstating the upper house, one choice of doing that AND abolishing the lower house, another choice of PROACTIVELY not changing a thing, and another choice of dissolving the government ENTIRELY.

That doesn't sound familiar to me.

A little word of advice: Although "No Senate" is the name of the policy, it does not necessarily mean the nations upper house is a senate. Many issues reference a parliamentary structure; others suggest a federal structure. It's advisable to try and keep the precise nature of the upper house as vague as possible (leaving flexibility for a Senate or a House of Lords type structure).

Will some one god damn respond to my draft?

by **Candlewhisper Archive** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 9:17 am

So rude!

Why would you think that asking in that way would get a positive response?

by **ArmedKing** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 11:53 am

Ok.NVm.I got one.Sorry for that ourburst.It was just that people focused on other issues than mine.

If people focus on other issue drafts, then you patiently wait your turn. No one here is obligated to focus on your drafts first and those of others second. We're all equal here.
