Apparently, meat-eating is frown upon in my nation, just because I didn't want to allow the animals to be tortured (but I still allowed eating them)

What has compassion have to do with this?
If the animals were suffering by themselves, without human intervention, it would probably apply. But this is not the case, since we're the ones responsible for their suffering.
EDIT: And I regret my decision because of this damn result I got.

Ok then, what about when you feel sorry? (not because you made a mistake of course)
What about parents? Should they leave you in the forest to be killed by wolves when you were a baby?
Even some animals have compassion, though not many (and most times, just SOME individuals). The idea is that, this "ability" is something which we have, so naturally it's something we developed, which means it is evolved. The "survival of the fittest" or "might makes right" scheme is, on the other hand, downright primitive. (think: animals & cavemen)
ok doesn't matter, it's not like it is going to change much.

WTF now I've got an issue about police vs citizens.
Option 1: I "back off" the police force so Citizens can roam more "freely" without intervention of police (this means, for example, small thievery or such)...
Option 2: I fund the police even further.
There is a problem because I wouldn't like to annoy the citizens yet I want to keep my Ninja Police force numerous

Look what *I* got
The Issue
The malicious computer virus "DEAT.exe" is infecting nearly all the computers in Drathirvlos and the people are crying out for the government to do something about it.
The Debate
1. "It's those horrible kids. Hacking in where they don't belong. You've got to give us more funding to put a stop to it," says Drathirvlos Federal Police Chief Beth Nagasawa. "Like with cars- ban kids from using computers until they pass a test and get a license!"
2. CEO Dave Fellow of CyberMirage Labs has a different idea. "Let us release SAL9000, our new AI, into the Drathirvlos Network. It'll put a stop to this virus. Nevermind that it's still only an untested beta!"
3. "Yeah, wonderful! Fix a virus by releasing an AI that will likely turn on its creators? Are you people trying to get us all killed?!" Decries infamous technophobe Gregory Silk, "What do we need computers for anyway? They will only bring us trouble and disaster! Personal computers ought to be banned!"
As you can see, I choose 2, but I think something will go extremely wrong (based on the other exaggerated results this game gives) - anybody thinking of Terminator 3?

I have a pirate problem
Empiriana's merchant navy has seen increasing attacks from swashbuckling pirates in recent months, devastating Empiriana's foreign trade.
The Debate
1. "We should blow them out of the water!" says First Lord Admiral Chastity Wu. "These waterlogged vagabonds have been plundering our ships for far too long! All our exports from the Uranium Mining industry are going straight into their hands! It's downright dangerous for us to let this continue! All we require is some funding for coastal patrol boats, fleet carriers, and nuclear submarines and a free hand to show these freebooters what's what."
YARR
2. "Hello," says a grog-swilling, peg-legged scurvy dog entering your office. "I'm Roxanne Licorish, a mighty pirate. I'd like to suggest that instead of wasting all that money on attacking pirates you simply buy them off with barrels of bullion, jewels and Maxtopian gold! There'll still be pirates around, sure, but as long as everyone's paid off, they won't hinder your trade. Not much anyway."
YARR
3. "That's the second biggest load of bilge I've ever seen!" says Captain Grapnel, CFO of Hispaniola Shipping Insurance, LLC. "Shiver me timbers, if these scurvy dogs don't be cutting into me profit margin! Me comprehensive coverage has to pay out for victims o' illegality, and of course theft be illegal in this country, bu' that be giving me an idea - what if we were to have privateers? That is to say, if ye were to make piracy legal but with a quotar o' sorts, like huntin'? That way me and mine can stay in business and ye can get a fine cut o' th' booty from licence fees! Savvy?"
YARR
4. "Come now, that's hardly fair," argues 'gentleman pirate' Taupebeard de Gauche with a bow and flourish. "There is an ancient tradition of actively redistributing wealth on the high seas, and we active redistributors serve an important role in the global economy. You would not keep a family-run bookstore from handing down its business from generation to generation, would you? We simply ask, nay, demand the same right! And get rid of the word 'pirate'. It's a slur. We are corsairs - not common sea-faring thugs."
YARR
The government has yet to formalize a position on this issue.
ARR, T'DAVY JONES' LOCKER WITH Y'ALL

It will probably say: "The new AI was a failure and managed to screw up the entire network of computers"

maybe just random
What should I pick? I'm afraid that too many policeman will make citizens annoyed, and too few will rise crime. It sucks

So the choice is either to oppress or allow crime to oppress the people? Empiriana would know...
Irony is that Empiriana gets issues that are easy for Meriath and meriath gets choices that would be easy for Empiriana. *sigh*

Look! Steriotype Metalheads!
Quote:
"Heavy metal music is a plague in our good nation and its God-fearing people!" argues local priest and easy listening advocate May Silk. "Just the other day, I heard a song by some group called Hell's Irate Puppies with a sinful quantity of bass and drum... oh, and there were probably some lines about killing parents, too, I'd imagine! It's vital that we ban this music, and remove this terrible influence from our children's lives! Think of the children!"
"Whoa, man... what's with the, like, censorship and stuff?" asks Fleur Longbottom, scruffy-haired bassist of the popular speed metal band The Destroyinators. "You can't, like, censor the music, man. That's how we express ourselves! Every bass beat is me baring my soul! Every howl is me complainin' about how my parents tried to kick me out of their basement! Besides, what's wrong with Satan? He's just misunderstood anyway. I say promote the arts, man!"
"You know, this heavy metal issue has me thinking," says Roxanne Dredd, your brother, over your weekly game of cribbage. "If these long-haired freaks want to put out their devil-worshipping metal, why don't we let them? Of course, we'll put a little subliminal propoganda into every song... after all, don't these guys owe their freedom of expression to you?"
I'm enclined to option three

I once got an issue about producing more weapons, but it was screwed up because of that problem we had back then (the site was inaccessible, and the result of the previous issues was null)
