Resolutions? Im not so sure....

I will open this topic by asking a question; WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME A RESOLUTION WASNT PASSED?

I personally, in my relativly short time as a registered user of Nationstates, have yet to see a resolution not passeed. There is a reason for this.

The resolutions usually pander to a general common belief such as "there should be more human rights", "help sick people", "World peace". Now I understand the resolutions do take a more complicated format than this but in essence these are the only issues they address.

It is obvious that these resolutions will be passed as they dont cause any controversey or force people to think at all. I believe the majority of people who ever vote against the resolutions do so just to see if they can make one fail to see what it would be like.

I propose that more controversial resolutions should be put forward covering more hard-hitting issues instead of these "crowd-pleasing" eutopian mantras that pass through our UN every week.

Long live the Empire of Stook,

Steve Gutenberg,
President of Stook

I believe the last unsuccessful resolution was in late December. It was truly awful though (I'll maintain a diplomatic silence regarding the quality of subsequent resolutions).
