Right Side of the Road Proposal

Since there has been put up a suggestion that we should drive in the left side of the road, i feel its a must to put up another choice.

Mandatory driving on right side of the road.
At least its better than driving in the left side.

Alright, I think we need a common sense clause for some of these proposals. Seriously.

Okay, getting to this: Why? My nation doesn't even use roads like that. And it is an inconvenience and an annoyance to have the UN tell my people which side of the road they can drive on. Plus, even the one for banning marriage seemed to be more serious than this.

Please, people, I beg you: Don't use these resolutions in attempts to argue points.

It's proposals like this that make me wish that the delegates had some way to disapprove of proposals.

It will be a while before delegates will vote on proposals. Until then, delegates will only be able to not approve and will not be able to veto.

That is really stupid. I think that it should be up to the individual nation as to what side of the road they want to drive on. Why is this even an issue?? Come on people.

I think...it should be the other way around!
Most people are right-eye dominant meaning they focus more with the right and so have a better view of cars approaching on the right than they would on the left.
(To test dominance first try to close your left eye. Repeat with right. Those with a strong dominant eye can only close the opposite one. If you can wink with either eye, make a triangle with your hands, and with outstretched arms look at something that fits inside the triangle, by looking that is. Close your left eye, does the object move out of the triangle? Repeat with right. If it doesn't move it's your dominant eye open. If that doesn't work for some reason hold out the triangle again and whilst looking with both eyes open on the object bring the triangle towards your face. A friend can help identify which eye you bring it towards.)
Ironically I am actually left-eyed dominant.

Freedom!
We drives where we pleases, and the devil take the hindmost!
O' course, our insurance premiums are a mite steep...
But we're free!
So if ya see a car or pickup flyin' a flag with a vidalia oniion over crossed bones, yield the right o' way!
