Elimination of Rouge States
A resolution to ban, legalize, or encourage recreational drugs.

Category: Recreational Drug Use
Decision: Promote
Proposed by: LLJK

Description: WHEREAS most drug producing nations are not memebers of the United Nations and
WHEREAS those same nations fail to comply with the United Nations standards of decency and
WHEREAS rouge nations are a security threat to all United Nations member states

We propose that all United Nations members undermine the economies of rouge states by creating death sentences to tafficers working from rouge states and harsh penalties to citizens using drugs from rouge nations and marketing anti-rouge state propaganda in all forms of media and providing public money to subsidise local recreational drug manufactures.

Approvals: 12 (LLJK, Girl on Girl on Male, Coolet, Islamist Terrists, Pineapple Joe-bot, The Pointing Monkey, Volte, Saccharin, Palteau, Tubesock, Suomen Turku, Shmeek)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 124 more approvals)

Voting Ends: Sat Sep 18 2004 What did we do to deserve this recent rash of idiotic proposals?

I'm still wondering why the moderators deleted my Global Disaster Assistance proposal. I thought it was pretty good ... but apparently they feel these proposals are more appropriate. ::sigh::

Cool! It is always great to see a proposal author and UN Delegate join the forum.

OOC: Nations aren't completely serious here. We talk about zombies, nerve stapling, and hypnorays from time to time. I think their objection is actually more about the lack of time spent in your proposal. Usually it is a good idea to run a proposal through a spell checker, but to be fair rogue and rouge are both spelled correctly ... I mix the two up all the time.

Stick around, and when somebody finds a spelling mistake in one of your proposals just say, "Sorry about that. I'll fix it next time." That is what I do. :)

We don't have tafficers only rouge states have tafficers... and we're not rouge states. After we have done eliminating the rouge states, we're going to get to elimination of the blush states, lipstick states, eyeshadow states, and et cetera.

(This proposal just proved my point in the "Ban Heterosexual thread" that the group in question have bad genes.)

LLJK, the game in general is not very serious, but we do like to keep our UN proposals more on the serious side. Proposals can in fact get deleted by the moderators, if they think it is "not worthy of the UN's consideration." To be fair to you, I think I see what you are getting at, and this may be worthy of the UN, once run through a spell-check. That's a pet peeve of many nations, including myself, Frisbeeteria, and Mikitivity. Most of the ones that mods like Cog delete for that particular offence are stupid things like:

"Ban Unicorns!" - Passes legislation to kill all Unicorns
"My naiton SUCKS!!!" - Passes legislation to make The Armed Republic of A$$Kikers the best nation in the game
"Blah" - Description: Blah blah blah blah blah... (et cetera)

I hope all of those are examples that just came off the top of my head, but I would not be surprised if ones like them had been sent in before. Cog has a huge list somewhere of proposals exactly like those that got the DEAT for being stupid. I don't think your proposal falls into that category, and don't think you should worry about it.

Note: This is not to say I approve of your proposal - I do not want recreational drugs promoted in my nation, but if you do, go right on ahead.

Edit: Sorry for the lecture, but I hadn't given one in a couple weeks, and sometimes I tend to get carried away. :D

I'm just a bit surprised by those endorsing it more than the content of it... :confused:

Coolet has never met a proposal s/he didn't like. I believe they endorse everything, even when two back-to-back proposals are exact opposites. As for the rest of them, I think they're possibly a group of friends who just discovered the game. There seems to be a lot of recent proposal authors in that list, and they tend to Approve of each other quite a bit.

The Allies States of Ahsmenistan find rouge to be as deplorable as the author of this proposal. Additionally, we would support any proposals banning lipstick, eye shadow, and such, should they come to vote in the UN. :)

I hereby propose that all Rouge Nations be colored RED on all maps produced for ever and ever, everywhere, etcetera, etcetera.

And any nations found to be applying cosmetic products liberally be exterminated. Yeah.

Yes, Ecopoeia, they do look very familiar, and might I add, since the writer of this " proposal " has shown their face here, adequate proof they know that these forums actually exist, maybe they'd like to explain the objective of their related regions ( who shall not be named at this time ) in regards to the Nation States United Nations ...

I've approved every UN proposal that seemed crazy, dumb, or unethical. I will continue to do so.3 days ago The Democratic States of Pineapple Joe-bot

Thanks to the support of all who have endorsed me, I am continuing to vote in the UN for the (REGION / GROUP NAME REMOVED) platform of total insanity, and I just submitted a proposal to ban heterosexuality in UN member nations.And what a sterling effort they are making ... :rolleyes:

Yeah, I noticed that ... but then again, the founder of the catalyst region was deleted for U.N. Multi action so I'm hardly surprised by all this. :)
