Rules:
-
For choices that are not equal to "cake or death".
-
Demonstrating how 2 syllable slogans are manipulative psychological land-mines designed to divide and conquer political factions by pitting them against each other instead of working towards common-ground until extremism builds at both ends.

Okay, I get it, I read the rules of this community and it's supposed to be an impossible choice so that we can learn that dichotomies often leads to impasses.
if I play the game I would make barbecue illegal instead of Blues music. There are other means to cook great meals like using smokehouse (fumoir) or electric stoves + spices. Barbecue is bad for your health by introducing nasty chemicals in your meals. They also contribute to greenhouse emissions.
My turn : Water or Air : choose 1 to make illegal and explain why.
That's a life and death decision though, not really a choice. <- This is the actual point I'm trying to make.
Because the name of this community is :
"Pro-Choice", I guess it has to do with abortion. Varing legislations from some countries defines different time limits for legal abortion. There is no perfect Choice in this ; it is difficult.
As for my charade it could be solved with artificial life (we live inside a computer).
I know it's far fetched, don't bother.
There are infinitely more choices to be made on a pro level and abortion is rarely one of them. More of a forced dilemma in many cases.
What is it you are trying hard not to say ?
What is this all about ?
Are you a pro-life extremist in disguise ?
Whoever isn't pro-life has already committed suicide.
There are more choices to be made : pro-life //or// having already committed suicide - - that is a bad dichotomy.
So is associating life and choices with only abortion.
Often abortion is the right choice.
So are you anti-life if you make that choice? Or if it wasn't your choice? Or if you didn't have good options, is that a choice? What are you thoughts on this?
