yes. I hate to break it to you guys but the hippo bill is the dumbest bill I've voted on since I've joined this U.N. Is there any reason why you are wasting my time on voting on such stupid topics?

I FOR ONE WOULD LIKE TO SECOND THAT. THE HIPPO BILL IS STUPID.

Yes, there is a reason. I voted on the bill to help make sure it wouldn't pass. If every person who thought a bill was stupid abstained instead of voting against, it would make passage a lot easier.

Saying the hippo bill is stupid is like saying water is wet or fire is hot. But as a wise person once said: "Never understimate the power of stupid people in large numbers."

Hey! Lighten up! This is not meant to be a serious solution to the fufillment of socio-economic and political emptiness within common society... its a GAME. Sure it's stupid but it'd be one hell of a laugh if it passed! I urge you to vote yes and reconsider your outlook on the last bastion of insanity in a sane sane world! Ahem!

OOC: Yes, it is a game, in which we each control our own nation, the way we wish to control it. If we wish to take it seriously, we are entitled to and dont need "proposals" which dont even have a proper name in the UN screwing it up.
IC: It would not be "one hell of a laugh" if it was passed. The people of Nibbleton would be outraged at being forced to celebrate "Hippo Awareness Day" instead of christmas, especially as there are no hippos in Nibbleton.

So true. How do you think the Liberal party in Canada keeps getting elected?
