I found this resolution while browsing the proposals....I think it's something everyone should vote for. A fundamental principle that should be instilled everywhere.

Are you proposing that ethnic groups be able to go around unwashed and that we can not make them bathe no matter how much they smell? :?

Would you object to a racial group going around unwashed if their culture dictated that they do so? Would you forcibly wash them against their will??? :lol:

I would Build Large Free Standing Structures all over, They would be in the shape of Pine Trees, and give off a scent that masks the smell of the unclean ones. Ah yes National Air Fresheners.

I appove! Now only if they can ban it in the real world...

I'll approve it if you switch the category to "improving worldwide human rights".
Judging by the name of your region, and placing it in a category like "reducing income inequality", I kind of question your motives.

ETHNIC CLEANSING
A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.


Category: Social Justice Strength: Strong Proposed by: New Labor
Description: Ban Ethnic Cleansing or face the wrath of the UN.

**"Cleansing" pertains to mass racial extermination or severe limitation of rights imposed upon civilians during times of peace.

Approvals: 9 (New Labor, Eristonia, Goobergunchia, Dionalka, Lamoni, Hrmmm, Black Magic and Jesus, Stephistan, Nadaskor)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 116 more approvals)

Voting Ends: Sat Aug 30 2003

That's not a very detailed proposal. How do you plan on going about banning ethnic cleansing? "Or face the wrath of the UN"? The UN has wrath?

And if ethnic cleansing is only illegal during times of peace, then you won't mind when I wipe out a population after I declare war on them?

If you are going to submit a proposal, and then be so indignant as to lie about it and insist that people support it, at least make it worth our while to actually look for it and read it.

I support banning ethnic cleansing - tis a terrible, evil thing.
30-08-2003, 15:16
I think it's wrong too, but what this nation is trying to do is use the cause of ethnic cleansing, to equalize all the UN nation's economies, in turn, supporting the cause of their communist region.
It's OK to be communist but you need to be honest about it instead of lying and being subversive.
If you want to support an anti-ethnic cleansing bill, it need to be under the category of Improving World Wide Human Rights.
What he's doing is a very low down and dirty trick.
Plus he lied and said that he "found" the bill while browsing the proposal board when he actually drafted it himself.That's slick.

*******Now now, don't get your panties all in a bunch. I made an error by clicking on the wrong category, that's all. If you don't like it, don't vote for it, and don't waste time making declarations of my so called indignation...haha. idiot.

I will knot my panties anyway that I see fit. Or at least I would if I wore panties. And I didn't mention anything about the category you placed it in; that would be Anomolies. Perhaps I did not use the word "indignation" correctly, but my intent still stands. If you are going to insist that ... "Come on you guys, this is Nation States - let's be serious. " ... then you should at least give us a serious proposal to debate over, and not some poorly written proposal of one sentence. As to me being an idiot, please enlighten me. I would love to hear your definition of the word. If its someone who tries to make sense in a generally respectful manner, then I am indeed an idiot. Otherwise, please take your ill-mannered sass elsewhere.

Thank you,

hmmm, your name begins with "tipa"...I wonder if you're Russian?
I will explain to you why you are an idiot. Anyone who seriously thinks that "come on you guys, let's be serious" is seriously meant by the speaker.....is an idiot. And let us refrain from further beboppin and scattin, such as "ill-mannered sass" and what not. That's most unnecessary. Otherwise, I don't wish to sound mean or anything, or offend anyone. I just want to be happy and spread love. :D

You see, we could solve this problem if we'd just pass a proposal which states that the UN gives the nation of Oonamahambra the right to enforce the SPIRIT of all resolutions through sheer bravado and ass kicking. Then we don't have to worry about badly written proposals, because we all know the PROBABAL intent of the words. The only problem I see is if Anomolies is right and this IS actually a commie plot (can't be too careful, even if that makes no god damn sense) and Oonamahambra has to enforce that. I suppose it can be solved be letting US decide what the intent of the resolution is. We're always open to bribes and threats. Which means people with the best intentions will always win because there's more of them (edit: them being nations with good intentions). See? Problem solved! :D

OK, let's just say that New Labor actually slipped and accidentially put the proposal into the wrong category. Can you explain why you claimed to be browsing the board and stumbling apon it rather than writing it yourself.
This may sound petty, but straightfowardness and honesty is important.Right off the bat it shows deceit.

On response to Oonamahambra. A communist plot is not far fetched because all you need to do is visit their region and read their world book entry and it's pretty obvious.
I read proposals and recieved telegrams from communist nations and I have no disrespect for them.I think they have alot of interesting ideas, although nations (real nations) that put it to practice tend to be repressive and draconian.
What angers me, however, is the deceptiveness of using a worthy cause to promote a political system rather that using a category that properly describes it's purpose.

*edit* - I'll tell you what. Repost it in the right category and please expound apon the definition of ethnic cleansing to make it a bit more clear, and you will get my approval.

Yeah. We of The Soviet Union are out to force our iron will and cover up the atrocities preformed by "Communist" leaders, like Stalin. There's a 0 possibility of it being a joke. We're evil, Stalin supporting, Authoritarians that just use the label "Communism" to give hope to the people and excuse our actions.

Yeah. It's a joke. Really. I loathe Stalin, as he is certainly no "Communist." And clearly no friend of the people.

Unless he likes to be friends with dead people...

*Edit.* And since I posted this in my second nation, which is in a completely different region, I'm the back-up for Pessimisticia, just so there's no confusion.

We ofer our hand in friendship to all the oppressed and down-trodden peoples of the world and offer unconditional Asylum to all aforesaid peoples if they come in peace.

We even have empty islands where they are welcome to set up their own governments under the benevolant and watchful eye of THe Ferderal Republic ofDobermann (please excuse the spelling errors which resulted in the lack of funding for Schools & Education in previous govts).

Why are you looking at my hands!?! stop looking at my hands!

*gains composure* :shock:

The Nation of Northic opposes all attempts to ban ethnic cleansing...
Our nation was built on the right to cleanse all of those we see unfit, and who would threaten the purity of our people...

We will cleanse as we please!
good day!

WHY ARE YOU STILL LOOKING AT MY HANDS!

I think everyone should have to bathe by law and if you do not, you will be hearded into a camp, similar to Hitler's. And be educated in the ways of hygene and why it mush take place. :idea: :idea: :!: :!:

Well, Ruit, what if your shower or bath or such is broken? Does your country have public bathing facilities? Or maybe free bath and shower repair?
02-09-2003, 03:27
Has anyone mentioned that third world countries can have all kinds of nasty diseases in their water? Cholera, Hepatitis A E and D, Meningitis, Bilharzia. and Typhoid just off the top of my head. Who would want to bathe in THAT water? Will this resolution cause the mass outbreaks of these diseases and more?

Why this would be as bad as killing off a whole lot of other people just for their ethnicity! Someone should write a proposal about that too.

hehe, the FLOT was inspired by the PROA to resort to a more informal and more linguistically pleasing title, in order that it's citizens did not fall asleep during the pronounciation of the official name.

And no, the "Tipa" part has absolutely nothing to do with Russian, whoever asked.

We at the PROA (prounced like the stopping of a horse whoa, preferably with the extended final sylable) would like to know it FLOT is pronounced F. L. O. T., flot (to rhyme with parking lot) or flot (to rhyme with float)

We thank you for respecting our curiosity...

The FLOT Ministry of External Affairs has sent a memo to the equivalent Ministry of the PROA indicating that FLOT is indeed rhymable with shot, lot, hot, naught, caught, bought, sought, dot, knot, not, and many other words in the English language. The FLOT has also submitted a formal request to the government of the PROA to set up an embassy to improve relations between the two acronymal nations.

The PROA welcomes the oppurtunity to improve relations with our international neighbours. We joyously welcome the establishment of a FLOT embassy.
