I have re-introduced the Global Library with a more practical technology and funding mechanism. I would appreciate the attention of any delegate.

*sigh*...
Another M.O.S.S. proposal.
I'm feeling kind, so I'll put the text here.
Category: The Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: United Libertaria

Description: PROPOSAL: To reinstate the Global Library Act in accordance with realistic technology instead of "holographic technology" which is impractical and unrealistic. It will also introduce a more practical funding mechanism.

DESCRIPTION: This Resolution hereby say’s that we instate a system to put all human knowledge in to it. It will be called the Global Library. It will be Free and it will be accessible to all. The information that will be within the libraries are the News, All Books, Medicine Reports, Magazines, Laws of Every Nation and their Local Governments, and finally Biographies on some the most influential people during human history.

These libraries will be located in all member nations in their most popular cities. For the people that live far from the library , each member nation of the UN will be required to provide internet service and either low-cost computers or a service which can incorporate cable television technology. No citizen can be denied this access.

COST: Implementation will NOT be funded by donation. There will be a property tax of 1/10 of 1 Percent (.001) of monetary units per value of assessed property.


PURSUANT TO RESOLUTION 93("Repeal The Global Library")

AND IN THE INTEREST OF establishing a new Global Library proposal of a practical and efficient nature, hereby

CONDEMNS Resolution 86 on account of poor wording and unprofessional presentation, which reflects ill on U.N. policy as a whole in addition to being ambiguous and therefore easily abused, and

REPEALS the resolution on account of the impossibility of acquiring the funding and technologies needed to begin the project.
Well, your last line is totally unnecessary, as Resolution 93 repealed TheGlobal Library already, as you yourself stated earlier in the proposal.

You didn't write this, you cut and pasted it. From my repeal. And Agnosticas resolution. Aside from the stupidity of an ambigous property tax, I have three major problems with this proposal and about six hundred million little ones.

A) There's a reason we ditched Agnosticas resolution aside from technology and donations, and you didn't fix that because you cut and pasted. In fact, you state the problem directly in your own resolution:

CONDEMNS Resolution 86 on account of poor wording and unprofessional presentation, which reflects ill on U.N. policy as a whole in addition to being ambiguous and therefore easily abused, and

Did you fix the poor wording and unproffessional presentation by stealing directly from Agnostica? Or does the resolution still "hereby say's" that we will be just as stupid as we were before?

B) You both don't need, and shouldn't be using my repeal. In fact, I'm downright pissed off at you for taking the exact wording of my repeal without asking. Nothing could make me more angry than seeing my own idea taken word-for-word and placed next to this mess created by Agnostica and you.

C) There is already two Global Library proposals in the works that are much, much better than this. Have a little patience and they'll be introduced. You can look at them in the threads "The New Global Library" and "Global Library Coalition", but if you try and steal their wording and ideas I will become very, very angry.

If you even so much as try to get a telegram campaign started, I will, as I claimed before, move to block this ridiculous proposal in every way possible under the rules of this game. It is both an insult to me and an insult to the intelligence of the U.N.. We didn't pass the repeal just so we could put the resolution back again.

COST: Implementation will NOT be funded by donation. There will be a property tax of 1/10 of 1 Percent (.001) of monetary units per value of assessed property.
This clause constitutes a direct tax on a nation's citizens and therefore is in violation of resolution #4 "UN Taxation Ban" which prohibits the UN from doing that. As such this proposal is illegal and we cannot support it.

This is a decent proposal, but you'll need someone to put it all together. :)

I find myself in complete agreement with Pojonia. Several nations have been working on a replacement resolution for over a week now. It is highly inappropriate to plagiarize others' work. I consider it a personal affront that our dedication to the repeal and subsequent formulation of an improved library system would be lifted without so much as a request to become involved in that endeavor.

Nuking time, perhaps? My trigger finger is itchy.
