I think that everyone should be required to wear charcoal underwear to filter flatulation in order to preserve the fragile ozone layer. :o

Go away.

Greetings most tiny nation of Flamingbear. The glorious Dominion of Bahgum must inform your government that the answer to this issue is really not that simple. Such undergarments would have to include tight rubber waist and leg openings to ensure proper filtration, an inner lining would be needed to prevent sooty bottoms, and the effect of particularly wet flatulence on the filtration effect of the underpants would have to be investigated.
In order to protect the ozone layer, bovine rear filters would also be needed, as they are major contributors of methane to the atmosphere. Although here we fear that a solid/liquid/gas separation and entrapment issue would become a major problem.
If these issues could be overcome, then the benefit ot the environment would have to be measured against the effect of the increased usage of charcoal, with the accompanying landscape and carbon dioxide emission concerns from production.

I really don't mean to flame the honorable Flamingbear, but if you and your Ursine relatives would be more careful of your diet, perhaps you wouldn't flame so much, and the ozone would be in better shape.

Lay off the beans, huh?

Laio must oppose this proposal... all citizens of the Grand Duchy have the right to "break wind." Since most of the peasants live on a diet of cabbage and turnips... it gets almost musical at times.

I am shocked and stunned by sucha proposal. It was only the other day that i was reading an article to which i will now refer, it was that people were being paid to use cotton nappies. So that the level of dispoaable anppies would be reduced and i ws digusted at this but the idea of a charcoal nappy which i am sure is obviously a joke and thus is riddiculus and far reality. There is no use for such a barbaric and childish remarka nd suggestion and i feel riddiculed to have such a proposal even chanced at.

Hazatak disagree with this subject. Everyone has their right to do your "business". It´s a natural consequence of any animal´s digestive process, and that´s the main reason why we can´t endorse this issue.

The second reason is that the smell may indicate health problems, and supressing it may put people in danger by unabling this perception of their own organism.

Plus, there´s a curious social habit of liberating under the sheets, on the bed, and smell it afterwards. Preventing it would cause a minor harm to their intimicy, and it´s against our principles to interfere on our people´s personal afairs.

Palinu would like to point out that at no time did the proposee state that one should not be allowed to expunge bodily gases...the proposee simply wants a filtration unit to be required.

The fact that it very shortly became an issue of a nation's sovereign rights to pass gas at will does, in my mind, lend some insight into the UN process.
