UN Death Row Pardon
Category: Human Right, Moral Decency, Social Justice, Political Stability, OR Gambling
Creation:
An opportunity for the incarcerated on Death Row to give back to the community will be created, which allows for the incarcerated to enjoin his/her punishment with that of a non-profit Gameshow which benefits a charity of the incarcerated’s offense and that of the Nation State’s choosing via 50/50 to each charity. UN Death Row Pardon is a pardon from the death penalty because a basic fact about the criminal has made enough substance for the Nation State that it vies to let the criminal live.


Philosophy: Criminals can pay for their crimes if they sacrifice enough for it. The intention of the game is to learn the greatness inspired by the desperation for the struggle to survive. And the advancements of Science, the polling for Moral decency, Human Rights, Social Justice and influx of monies generated by gambling and promotions all contribute to political stability.

Fairness and the Definition of “Game” for UN Death Row Pardon

To reflect the integrity of the UN, the “Game” will be fair. (ie. A computer hacker won’t be put against a Gladiator and expected to live nor will a moron with an IQ of 2 be given a Genius task.)
The game will be constructed so that the criminal has 100 days in which he must survive
--a side description (Fear Factor on Crack or Severe Survivor)--.
The game must be controlled within a heavily guarded arena or monitored by highly trained military. All available tracking devices can be used
Challenges for each day must have a statistical level associated with it in which the criminal may or may not live.
The Game can be made like any Gameshow but must have the possibility of death involved and the possibility for escape of that death. (ie. Criminal won’t be strapped in an electric chair unless there is the real possibility for escape.)
If two or more criminals are up for the Honor of the UN Death Row Pardon, then they may be pitted against each other or work together to face more severe odds.
If injured during game play time will be given to criminal contestant for recoup so that there are no lame dog deaths.
Gambling allowed must give fairness to both sides of the confrontation. To ensure that an event is not fixed, illicit approaches to the gambling involved in the “Game” will terminate the game, set the criminal free and disband the “Game” from it’s present company and send all those responsible straight to DEATH ROW (in which they themselves may enter the UN Death Row Pardon.)


A Winner will be defined by the person who survives the steeply calculated challenges of 100 days (5 day work week including 2 day weekend of rest) and will be set free into a Nation State that will ascribe to bring him into populace.

A loser is dead. A portion of the proceeds will go to the funeral home, The UN Burial Grounds for the Less Fortunate.

THIS IS A DEFINITION NOT AN INACTMENT OF THE GAME.

AND THE PROPOSAL IS AN ADOPTION OF THIS RESOLUTION FOR THE UN WITH THE DEFINITION OF THE GAME BEING SOLELY AN ADOPTIVE PROCESS THAT THE UN WIL DECLARE AS A RESOLUTION NOT A MODIFICATION OF THE NATION STATE PROGRAM.

It's really too bad that there's no proposal category for "Crazy Shit".

I file most of that under "existing legislation".

"BOWS" I believe that the crazier you're deemed to be the more creative you may actually be. "Crazy shit" rating somewhere "up there".
I'm going for the weird-just-might-take-hold legislation/resolutions that are somewhere inbetween frightfully real and stupidly impossible although certainly abounding on the TV screens around the world.

(Quoting from Colonel Kurtz) "The horror, the horror."

I agree with the comments about 'crazy s*** proposals' and would like to add that Compadria has seen plenty of them, yet none as 'crazy s*****' as this.

May the blessings of our otters be upon you.

Now if I can Just Enough Wonderfully mad Nation's to agree and maybe help me on the finer points of this insanity I'll put her on the list And see if she floats.

Cerebral Liberation Ft accepts gleefully the Otter's good Graces.

We commend the esteemed representative of the Cerebrial Liberation Ft. for their enlightened and intriguing proposal. We note that it tracks closely with Our own nation's approach to capital punishment through gladiatorial combat.

According to HOCEK teachings, all human beings have useful work they may perform for society. In the case of a condemned criminal, the only thing left they have to offer, however, is their deaths. It is therefore only just that these deaths serve a useful social purpose. Gladiatorial combat serves such a purpose twofold:
It serves as a moral example to the public of the fate awaiting those who choose a life of evil.
It saves society the expense of arranging executions, and the revenues it brings in offset the costs of incarceration.


We therefore offer Our support for this resolution.

In the new SPQR, this is actually one of our punishments. Condemned murderers face the arenas( the other choice is cruxifixion). Unfortunately most do not fare too well. They are given rudimentary training (ie. hold the sword by the handle and not the blade, this is our nation's version of fair). However most of my nation's gladiators are professionals, so I guess you know the outcome. Also to get the pardon they have to win 30 battles. If this goes through, I'll offer the services of my gladiator schools to train other nation's gladiators.
