advertisement battle over the morality and acceptability of "coming out of the closet" is taking place on Templia's buses, with different factions presenting their vehement cases on these moving billboards. Groups on all sides are demanding the government step in, soothe egos, and take action.

Было у кого?

Maybe in some alternate universe, two thousand years ago, that might be true, but not in my case.

So, you don't have any nice, cozy little coins? That's a shame...

How come you don't have any warm and cozy coins? That's a shame...

Ventorum's position on this issue.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes, I reported it as an issue, adding a national touch, and allowed for any desired modifications. The results, as expected, were positive, and overall productivity increased.

I said, let's put this issue in the national spirit and allow them to do whatever they want. The results, quite predictably, are positive, and productivity has increased.

Similarly.

The thing is, I wouldn't want to take sides, but I don't quite understand the third and fourth options.

"Last I checked, free speech meant listening to people you didn't like," yawns your advisor, Imogen Silk, slouched over a sofa with a newspaper over her face, "A principle your office seems utterly devoted to... Look. Should a bunch of religious nutjobs stop homosexuals from saying it's alright for Jim and Jones to hold hands in the street? Of course not. Equally, should a bunch of tarted-up fruits stop the devout from banging on about their divine revelation? Obviously no. So why stop either of them? Freedom of expression is more important than either party's sensibilities, no matter how distasteful that might be."

"This whole culture is foul, and we shouldn't perpetuate it," argues daily commuter, Virginia Usman, "Surely the point of public transportation is to quickly get people to work or wherever, not to bombard them with fringe political causes. We should do away with advertising on government services and properties altogether, as well as pour some more money into our public transportation network. Then Templia would have the best transport in the world."

Which one does this imply? As I understand it, the last one prohibits advertising altogether, or is that what it means?

The third option is to not interfere and let everything run its course. That's the option I chose. The fourth option prohibits advertising on public transport (?) and invests funding into it.

Thank you.

It's very ironic that most modern liberals only try to silence those who disagree with them.

Has anyone ever closed libraries by converting all the books into electronic format?

I closed it. But I don't remember what happened.

The level of technology has probably increased. But somehow, it doesn't feel right.

The Principality of Edyia and the Dominion of Kittypink have been invited to become members of the Security Council. With the approval of the Security Council, the Federal Republic of Rex Ventorum is deploying troops into the territory of Qasardastan to stabilize the situation. Regarding the Steelmen and Champignons, the Security Council has decided that at this time these countries should not be invited into its ranks.

Wow... I didn't think you'd send troops to Qwasardastan.

Ar, have you decided not to vote?
