*$SCHOOL SAFETY UN PROPOSAL, DELEGATES LOOK HERE & APPRO

30-10-2003, 02:52
I have recently submitted a un proposal known as SCHOOL SAFETY. I urge you all to take a look at it, (delegates please approve it). It basically creates laser grids, booby-traps, attack dogs, etc. all for the safety of our beloved children. Kids will enjoy going to a school where they all feel pretty much like secret agents in a cool facility. It is also unbelievably safer than the status quo. School violence is on the rise, and we will not tolerate it! :twisted: :idea: :twisted:

What happens if the kids get injured by the lasers, booby traps, dogs, etc.

This is idiotic. We of Eredron do not waste taxpayer's money on such ludicrous ideas.

So your saying that my nations children will be safer if we saround them with deadly lasers, and bear traps? That is wrong on so many levels.

Ok, when your children end up being massacred by an insane fellow student or a terrorist attack, you know i'm not to blame.

I'm all for better school safety ,but this is a little extreme.

Wouldn't it be a lot less expensive to hire a few security guards, and start counselling programs?

Any security mesure is only an obstacle between evil doers and a goal - If they really want to, they will pass it.

Too expensive, too impractical, and too dangerous.

The starving populations of poorer countries barely have enough schools as is. They aren't going to be able to afford to install these security features. Also, kids are kids. Sooner or later, they are going to wander off, trigger an alarm, and end up being killed by these security devices.

We'll take our chances with our current school safety precautions thank you.

I doubt he was being serious.

In anyways, schools are some of the safest places on Earth. School shootings get a lot of publicity, but the fact is a kid is 70 times more likely to be killed at home than at school even if he spends equal amounts of time at both which we know isn't true.

depends where the school is located, if it is placed next to a firing range, or in fact on the firing range, i'd say it is quite dangerous

A local school of mine actually HAS a firing range on campus.

It's also one of the safer schools, being located in a wealthy suburb.

Rifles. The most popular variety seems to be the .3-caliber type.

One of the girls on their forensics team is also on their rifle team and she is adamant about allowing guns on school campuses in Student Congress.

She was in the same session as a fellow Libertarian of mine from her same school who authored a bill to abolish JROTC... not a pretty sight :D.

:evil: How am i suppose to please you people? First I submit 2 wonderfully worded proposals. However, they were too serious, too conservative, too genius, I don't know for you all. Then, I finally submit a nice somewhat fun proposal which has a sense of practicality and good intention behind it, and you all criticize it for being too drastic and too off-the-wall. I think the nations of the UN need to make up their minds and stop being hypocrits. It's quite sad when worthwhile proposals come into play but are denied the chance to prosper due to misguided political intentions or whatever wrong motives most nations have. Instead, proposals as simple as ban all toxic waste ocean dishcarges get a phenomenal amount of approval and praise. (don't get me wrong I believe it had potential but was not worded or implemented practically whatsoever) I challenge you all to prove me wrong. Give me the confidence that I once had in all of the UN nations. Once again, allow me to believe that justice and hard-work does pay off. :D
