I recently was told that I proposal I made was deleted because it copied another resolution. My proposal was about letting all minority voices (minority as in opinions not people who are a minority) in the POLITICAL spectrum (I believe I said with in the "political discourses") be heard. I titled it "free speech"...but I guess the Universal Bill of Rights all ready stated about free speech (quote below)

Article 2 -- All human beings have the right to express themselves through speech and through the media without any interference.

But what I don't understand is that the moderators have allowed THREE proposals to become resolutions all dealing with rights of the homosexual community (2 stating gay marriage directly-"Rights of Minorities and Women" and "Definition of Marriage") and let a "Freedom of the Press" resolution pass even though the Universal Bill of Rights has a clause for that...not too mention many other clear copyings of resolutions especially ones copying the Universal Bill of Rights.

So my question is why do the moderators nit-pick about having only one free speech article giving a generalized free speech comment and let 3 proposals pass about the very clear cut issue of gay rights?

Because they're trying to stem the tide. I'm fairly confident those other ones got through because the brave men and women of the mod team simply cant keep up with the waves of redundancy.

So dont feel bad.

EDIT: They would like to delete them from the UN records they said but sadly its not within their powers.

What you could do, as many have tried but failed, it to repeal some of the redundant resolutions on gay rights and other issues. The mod team would love you for that. ;)

At this point that would only add to the clutter. Theres already continuous repeal pops being issued on alot of those. They all fail. I approve one or two that look promising most of the time I check.

In our humble opinion, "Gay Rights" and "Definition of Marriage" are not so closely linked as to be repetitive, but rather the "nailing down" of something which should have been in the original, but was not.

The "Rights of Minorities and Women" on the other hand.... :rolleyes:

My winking eye was implying my dry sarcastic wit. Obviously, I left the wit out of that. -_-
