To everyone who continues bringing up such ethical topics as abortion and gay marriage:
As much as I (and probably many other national reps) appreciate attempting to debate these ethical topics and having our ideas ignored, I feel it is time we deal with real issues, like the environment or peacekeeping. Considering that no one listens to each other in suuch ethical debates, but choose to keep their own opinion, it would save us all a lot of breath if these issues would stop presenting themselves to the UN. If you wish to continue discussing such topics, might I suggest the NationStates Forum? Or a telegram conversation between two nations? These issues hardly qualify for this forum, and as long as everyone has their own set-in-stone opinion, we won't change anyone's minds, merely piss them off when democracy tells them that they are wrong.
