Following new legislation in The Great Water, fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits.

(they proposed banning the wearing of fake uniforms and medals out of respect for veterans)
strangely enough, civil rights remained unchanged.

1. Okay
2. Good
3. Good
4. Yes
5. No
6. No
7. No
8. Yes (my loving, but not very friendly, citizens understood questions 7 and 8 clearly: do you want to be in a romantic relationship with the contestant or be in the friend zone. So, in the future, I will skip questions 7 and 8, as the answers to them are always the same)
9. -2 points. Such a cute girl, and she's into such nonsense! Ecology, schmecology, it's just nonsense, who needs it?

9. +1 Sports aren't that bad, especially professional sports. However, some kind of dancing would be better, but martial arts...

--Juliette--

9. -3 I know we have a good relationship with Kittypink, but I'm an independent judge. Sending a cop to a beauty contest? A cop?!?! That's terrible!! It would be better if they sent a female soldier, but a lousy cop?

9. +1 There's a dilemma here... She's kind of a cop, but she also dances... Well, a guard isn't exactly a cop, is it. A guard... That is, she's a watchman, right? A watchman who dances? Well, that's not so scary, okay.

9. +0 Something is wrong. Some kind of healthy lifestyle, some kind of activity. The same cockroaches in her head as the first contestant. News for you: you've all been brainwashed! The only right way of life is the one that brings the most satisfaction! Bonus points didn't go into the negative only because of the beauty of the contestant.

9. -2 Saving the lives of old men... It's just a shame. She smells like old men! Unfortunately, this is not curable. And it's a pity, she's a normal girl otherwise.

I added links to my signature; I will close the contest when everyone votes or when I get tired of waiting. Have fun.

I didn't even think that it was the teachers who were part of it.

Well, officials and generals also receive salaries from the state budget.

Hmm, they picked some decent guys. Only Revan and I were showing off. )
But on the other hand... In the female contest, 80% of our candidates turned out to be better than any participant in real beauty contests, with a few rare exceptions.

Well, everything is clear with you. :) But what's wrong with Revan?

This issue should have arrived a long time ago...

A top fertility clinic has recently announced a new service allowing parents to create so-called 'designer babies'.
The Debate

"This has got me thinking," says General Kathleen Longbottom, thumbing through a big folder marked 'X'. "If this technology lets us reduce genetic defects, then couldn't it work the other way? We could create ourselves an army of genetically superior soldiers! With our army of Super Soldiers, no nation would dare stand in our way!"

Although, on the other hand... In the female contest, 80% of our candidates turned out to be better than any participant in real beauty contests, with a few exceptions.

I would say they are not better than the girls. Some of them, in fact, look like participants in real contests, and that's more than "20%".

I would say it's even worse when compared to reality. Even without considering beauty pageants for older women, in which some of the participants could take part.

Have you ever watched beauty pageants?

I was watching the female contests. Usually, the contestants look like Heroist, Revan, Mental, and Locken. That's why I don't really like these contests.

The women of Steelmen are demanding an end to wage discrimination in the workplace.

The Debate

"The government must put a stop to businesses discriminating against women when they apply for a job!" chants Renee Rikkard, a ferocious supporter of women's rights. "Did you know that on average men in Steelmen earn substantially more than women for doing the same job? For too long has the female race been discriminated against in our society due to their sex! We demand equal wages, equal opportunities, and equal respect for women, and we demand them now!"

"Hey, my business is treading a thin enough profit margin as it is," complains Samuel Utopia, CEO of Heavy Lifting Incorporated. "Women just aren't as good as men at certain jobs, it's a probably proven fact! Take firefighting - if you were dying from smoke inhalation and collapsed on the floor unable to move, who would you prefer to attempt to rescue you? A man with superior muscular strength or some weakling female? Go on, you decide. Let the businesses decide what they pay and who they pay it to - after all, the economy depends on us."

"Hah! Our society is getting far too soft!" rages Zeke Goethe, a staunch male chauvinist. "Whatever happened to the days when a man could go back home to find his good lady wife with his tea ready and his slippers warm? I've heard that some men even have to cook and clean for themselves! Let us return to the days when it was just the men who went out to bring home the bacon! A brand new golden age!"

"Personally I think things went wrong as soon as women got labelled as the 'fairer' sex," interrupts Catherine Gratwick, author of the best-selling novel 'Gynaecocracy For Beginners'. "We're strong, we're willing - and we're just plain better than men. See what a state the world is in when they're in charge? I propose that all the men should stay home and be househusbands whilst the women go out to work and earn the wage packet!"

Ple-Sen, look at the wonderful issue that came to me.
