UN Delegates, please approve these resolutions.

End race and sex advantages

Category: The Furtherment of Democracy; A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.
Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Reagani


Description: We need to end all race and gender entitlements such as affirmative action. Affirmative action is a racist program that gives advantages to minorities and women. Now, you may ask, how is this racist? Well it is racist because they are given extra points in college admissions and job searchs just for being a minority. Why do they need this edge? Are they inferior? The people of Reagani don't think that they are inferior. In The Armed Republic of Reagani, we believe that all men (people) are created equal and should therefore be judged on the same scale. Let us please put an end to this racist institution.

End Gun Prohibition

Category: Gun Control; A resolution to tighten or relax gun control laws.
Decision: Relax

Proposed by: Reagani


Description: If we end the restrictions on gun ownership for law-abiding citizens, crime will go down. This Proposal will end gun control laws for law abiding citizens only. If you are a criminal or insane, you still will be restricted on your gun ownership. We can see than in Switzerland, a nation in which nearly all citizens own guns, crime is among the lowest in the world. let us try to follow in their footsteps. thank you

Rework the first one and suggest an alternative to guarantee the end of racism in the work place and you'll get my vote.

While affirmative action is, in its principles inherently racist, so are many of the people involved in hiring. Think up a new solution to the problem that works, rather than just removing the bad solution we have now.

Taking an old, inefficient bandaid off a wound doesn't make it better, it just lets it start bleeding again.


As for the second one, law-abiding citizens don't need grenade launchers, automatic rifles, or anti-aircraft guns. Too broad a solution.
