I dont no if anyone has noticed but i certainly have..... all the recent debates and law passings people want to happen are all about marrage and human rights......... is there any possible way that u can start being creative with ur ideas rather than having boring Polls.???

Then, start submitting different proposals for consideration instead of just bitching about it... :p

Bahgum tries, though we find that our proposals concerning freedom from Mothers in law, fair camel trading for spouses, banning lycra and pub olympics don't tend to be voted for in numbers more than 30. Maybe more nations need to develop a sense of fun. How about a serious topic amnesty for a week? Give us all chance to regain our composure, and then re-attack the marriage, gays, religion, nuclear weapons debates with renewed vigour??

So if I were to submit a proposal that would grant TilEnca complete sovereignty over all other nations, you would be happy to support it?

Write it in an amusing style and word it very very well, and i'll consider it.....but sovereignty, probably not *S*

I could join in during mid-december. But I have some things I want to push before then...But I'm all for it once those are done.

Hmmm maybe I should post the idea of an amnesty as a topic, it won't get anywhere but it'll take some space from a repetitive topic.....

Yes, let's resolve to make the President of the Constitutional Republic Emporor of the Known Universe......

For the Republic's first act, all law will be outlawed! :D

So I am guessing a proposal to have me crowned as Goddess of All Things is *way* out of the question then?

You can be Goddess of chocolate if you like, what more could a girl want?

We'll need pics. Lots of pics. Dirty, nasty, fun-loving pics of the Goddess at play.


Or not.

Proposal To Elevate Toriella Thiten To Goddess Of Everything
(including chocolate)

Category: Human Rights (well - my rights at least)
Strength: Is there something stronger than strong?
Proposed By: Well.... me.

Reaffirming that human rights are important, and Toriella Thiten is human,
Understanding that differences in religion lead to conflict and disagreements and the odd arguement (and - you know - wars),
Recognizing that Toriella has lead her country for ages (well - three months) without burning any buildings down,
Confirming that free will just complicates people's thoughts,

The members of the UN hereby state that

Toriella Thiten will here by be recognized as a Goddess in all the UN member nations,

That she will be worshiped as such throughout the UN,

That all people in all member nations will be ready to live and die at her whim,

That all people will be ready to invade and occupy any non-UN member nation that refuses to bow to the gloryfullness of The Goddess,

That she can make up words like gloryfullness whenever she choses,

That any time she mispells a word that will become the official spelling of that word throughout the UN,

That any other powers she demands will be accepted as being part of this proposal

and

That anyone who blasphemes, critizes her, snarks at her or generally annoys her will be given a slap on the wrist and told "not to do it again".

We, the members of the UN, wish to give our worship and love to our Goddess, and to spread the word of her gloryfullness-ness to the ends of the earth, and any other planet that she expresses an interest in.

Oh yeah - and that she can have chocolate whenever she wants :}



So - who's with me?

Propose it. I want to see how far it gets before it gets scuttled.

I haven't been around here long, so if someone could tell me something.

In about six days (mostly after Thanksgiving) I plan to actually propose something a touch more serious than this.

So if I propose this now, what are the odds of it not only being rejected, but me being ejected/banned/tried for witchcraft/executed/yelled at and so forth?

Cause if I can do both, then I don't have a problem with proposing it :}

Something.

Seriousness? In a UN proposal? Man, you're breaking the mold. I'm sure there's a rule against it somewhere.

So if I propose this now, what are the odds of it not only being rejected, but me being ejected/banned/tried for witchcraft/executed/yelled at and so forth?

Ejected: 2%
Banned: 0%
Tried for witchcraft: 25%
Executed: 28%
Yelled at: 50%
So forth: 50-90%

Cause if I can do both, then I don't have a problem with proposing it :}

If someone can make a proposal, get it deleted, and then split it into ten proposals without getting more than yelled at by the mods, I think you can do this. I've seen far worse in the proposals section.

90% of so forthness? Now that's scary :}

Given the length of the proposals list (35 pages?) and the fact the Mods are going on a proposal killing spree (more or less) I think I am going to hold off for now :}
