i'm proposing to ban Rasism, reply with ur vote.

uh, with all do respect, what are you smoking. Please look at the guidelines of the game and all, I honestly have no clue what you mean by banning RACISM.....

Racism cannot be banned because it is a social issue. It is deeply imbedded within the minds of provincial thinkers.

It's the suppression of the word that gives it the power, the violence, the viciousness

If you propose to ban an idea...at least learn to spell it correctly.

And, since you haven't defined racism, it is still subjective, which means we all have different ideas on what "racism" actually is.

Even if it were possible, it would be incredibly unethical for my government to brainwash our citizens, even in correct thinking.

Racism is a way of thinking about the world, and cannot be banned. We all have relative freedom of thought. As Adam Island pointed out, we would have to violate many of our ethical codes in order to stamp out racism, and probably turn our citizens into drooling automatons in the process.

As this author has not made an actual proposal nor returned to this topic to defend this ridiculous assertion, I suggest we treat this as we would any other trolling topic and let it drift quietly into oblivion.

If some kind mod wanted to lock it, they would have my blessings and thanks.

Seriously, you cant ban an 'ism', you can't stop 'ism', you can't ban 'ism' only the effects of the 'ism'.

This is neither a proposal nor, were it so, one within the bounds of the UN rules. Read up on the stickies in here, espcially this (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=282176) one, before submitting something to the UN.
