Bill: Farming

Details

Submitted by[?]: Seosavists Republican party

Status[?]: defeated

Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Voting deadline: December 2152

Description[?]:

Agriculture highest:211 / 1000
Agriculture is higly under-developed. Fortunately, no-one will starve, even if there is a poor harvest, but agricultural production is still low, and food imports are often necessary.
lowest:157/1000
Farming is subsistence-only, and takes place on a few small and arid fields in the local dustbowls. If the rains fail, farmers face starvation!

People are staving we need to help them!

MessageThis will promote short-sighted industrial methods that damage the environment and the health of our subjects.

MessageI'm in a deep moral quandary. Do I support a bill that will damage the environment, or let people starve. I'll vote for this, and look for other ways to help both agriculture and the environment.

MessageAs I've just said in the "Save the Forests!!!" bill I'll vote yes for that bill if both DUP and GSJ vote yes to this.

MessageWe can't vote for this. At best it's interfering with the free market: at worst a path to ecological disaster.

MessageThe free market isn't working, we need to raise productivity and invest in farmers then when they are properly established and can afford to reinvest in themselves we can bring back the current law. PEOPLE ARE STARVING!

MessageI'd rather a few starve than us all be forced to pay for GM, pesticide-ridden, processed food that I wouldn't feed my dog!

MessageWhere does what's put on the crops being debated! THIS IS ABOUT THE CROPS THEMSELVES, the current law is a about giving to crops that don't affect bio-diversity and don't interfere with wild life, nothing to do with what you're talking about. And if that's your opinion then other people might agree with you hence there is market demand for non-GM, non-pesticide-ridden, non-processed food, or people might not be as paranoid as you.

Now I'm done trying to change your opinion, we all know that you don't let facts and you being mistaken over what something is about ever get in the way of your opinion!!

Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context.
