Zero tolerance for cookies.
Should I submit this proposal?
"Whereas cookies make you fat.
Therefore be it resolved that eating, selling, and buying cookies is
hereby outlawed in all UN nations.
Anyone caught eating, selling or buying a cookie(s) will be forced to go
to either OA or Weightwatchers."

Get real.
Get real.
You don't think we have a problem on this planet with people being overweight?
You don't think people die from weight related problems?
If the UN can regulate everthing else from abortion to sex to
guns to drugs etc etc why not this?

I can understand why you would submit such a proposal as this, and i will admit that it humored me. None the less, I will vote against this proposal should it reach quorum (tho I doubt that very much) because I maintain hope that the UN will improve itself (Excessively optimistic? almost certainly). Making a further mockery of it is counter-productive, in my eyes.

Well, I am making two points.
One is about the UN telling us how to run our lives.
The other is that sugar is a 'wolf in sheeps clothing'.
How many people equate eating sugar with smoking a cigarette or
drinking a beer?
It is not always considered proper to offer someone a cigarette or a beer (especially if that person is an alchoholic), but few people realize that offering someone a cookie, a piece of candy, or a piece of cake is just as bad. If not worse. (at least if that person is overweight and/or trying to diet)
Maybe I don't need to actually make the proposal to make my point, however.

Why not just make dying illegal then?

We could pass a law to "let someone else do it"... a la the Simpsons :lol:
The spectre of Dying is what gives human lives direction and purpose. It's also the reason for Sex, cause if we're going to dye, we have to perpetuate the species some other way. Methinks banning Dying would therefore not go down to well.
Work is what fills our time and stops us getting bored, and to illustrate my point, I'll even sink as low as to quote from the bible, "If I did not work, these words should perish"
Let's keep the reasons for living, keep death and work.
It is the right of all people, regardless of their previous experiences or personal difficulties with cookies, sugar, beer, tobacco, etc to partake of said substances without governmental interference.
Athine, you may have masked your satire of NSUN's recent proposals a little too well for some of its members. I, however, applaud you.
