Here's a real nice one...

Legalization of Cock Fighting
A resolution to legalize or outlaw gambling.


Category: Gambling
Legalize/Outlaw: Legalize
Proposed by: Samba Nova

Description: Since it's a game widely practiced in the underground scene of countless nations, the best way to deal with the situation would be to legalize it in order to please the population and protect the animals.

Simple things as scraping the tips of the cock's beaks and spurs and forbidding maltreatment of any kind would save thuosands of roosters of harassment.

With the creation of regularized arenas, honest citizens practicers of cock fighting would avoid going to dangerous places where the matches are commonly held.

In fact, there are rich commercial possibilities attached too, with events as gatherings, championships and etc.

Ban 'Chav' Culture
A resolution to restrict civil freedoms in the interest of moral decency.


Category: Moral Decency
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Teken

Description: The sub-culture of the 'chav'is a dangerous one. To out line what a 'chav' is to those who have not before come across the term.

- a chav/chavster/townie/etc. are generally identified by there burbery style baseball caps, eleberate jewlery and aggresive nature. They are compulsive law breakers.

Often laws are broken simply because it is in the rules of there sub-culture. By stamping out this behaviour there will be a reduction in low level or blue coller crime - which will led to reduced crime and the world becoming a safer place. This is not a zero tolerance approach to crime - it is trying to put a stop to a social dangerous group.

Most, if not all, of those have been nuked (I killed 40 today, can't remember all of them...)

I believe the first Cock Fighting one stayed. It's silly, but within the rules.

Bahgum can see no real reason to single out the cock fighting proposal, it's tongue in cheek, possibly aiming to provoke a debate by taking an extreme stance. This ain't the real UN, it's a game based on a funny book, so why not have some fun and discuss something different for a change.
Personally I think all the marriage, gay rights, drugs, nuclear weapons proposals should be banned for two months to give us all a rest from them. Let's have more off the wall proposals (but not sad, badly spelt, only funny to juvenile one though....)

By eck,
Bahgum.

How are you supposed to make a valid law out of a proposal if the law includes "like you know guys...how would you feel?"

I can just imagine the founding fathers playing NationStates and making proposals for America:

Ammendment 1:

"peeple shood, you now, be alowed too say waht the ywant i mean how would you guys fell if you couldn tpractise you're relijun?"

Apologies, but the title is "Funny Proposals You Should Not Approve".

And do tell, what is humorous to you about abortion?

*points* look at the time stamps.

Besides which, there's no way to tell what forum you are in, so there is no way I can be "following you".
