http://nationstates.net/page=UN_proposal1/match=sheep

Ban Sheep Sex Acts
Category: Moral Decency
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Lynchphalia

Description: IN RECOGNITION of the increasing incidents of sexual intercourse with sheep by certain subjects of the Kingdom.

CONCERNING the moral indecency of such acts, there must be a unified worldwide ban to shun and halt any further incidents and through moral justification impose punishments of any such offence.

ACKNOWLEDGING animal rights and the moral decency of citizens worldwide, through teachings of both religion and individual morality.

HOWEVER recognizing the cultural adjectives and diversity of Nation States.

We must:

1. Enact a ban to stop, shun and declare illegal any sexual relations with sheep and / or any other animal in general.

2. Impose harsh prison sentences and / or fines to deter any further offenders.

3. Create a body or integrate with an existing animal rights authority to regulate and govern this legislation.

4. If through an independent organisation, support them in any way relating to the prevention of illegal sexual offenses relating to sheep and / or any animal.

5. Encourage and promote this legislation worldwide to ensure a uniformed and hard-line approach. With individual Nation States through their legitimate soverignity taking control of the regulation of such acts in their geographically defined territories.

6. Not to intrude into the privacy of the home and individual human rights. The emphasis must be upon animals in the wild or in domestication through fields or any open-air surroundings.

7. Not to intrude but to a certain extent promote these values in various cultures around the World.

THIS IS NOT an exclusive piece of legislation for animal rights, it is to redress the problem of immoral sexual activities relating to human and animal co-existence and should be voted as such.

Supported and promoted by The Jingoistic States of Mulatasia, respectively.

Approvals: 2 (The Kazoo Peoples, Brunelian BG advocates)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 126 more approvals)

Voting Ends: Wed Dec 14 2005

XD

is this for real?

is this even a matter for the UN?

Hehe, even WZ Forums hasn't approved this one.

is this for real?

is this even a matter for the UN?

The UN just passed a resolution on divorce. Seems reasonable. "Sexual Freedom" only covers adults, and presumably that means humans. However, given Reformentia's "Sapient Rights" proposal, this might have serious repercussions for inter-species relationships where both partners are consenting sapients. (In fact, aren't humans 'animals'?)

Anyway, it will be deleted: it's branded.

That icon was placed there by myself - lol.

Not to ask a truly dumb question, but


1. Enact a ban to stop, shun and declare illegal any sexual relations with sheep and / or any other animal in general.


Firstly - isn't man an animal? (edit sorry - didn't read all of the previous posts properly I guess)

Secondly - if you read it one way, it says "with sheep and any other animal" - so if you are only engaging with a sheep, and no other animal, wouldn't that be excluded from this?

Thirdly - What if they are sentient sheep that consented? (sorry)

Fourthly - Although it is implied, this doesn't specifically mention humans - so would this prevent any thing having sex with a sheep? Including another sheep?

Fifth - how did I get up to five questions when I was only going to ask one?

That icon was placed there by myself - lol.

It's branded because you gave the co-author's pretitle.

From Rules for UN Proposals (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=420465):
Branding

Limited branding is allowed. "Limited" means that you may list one co-author by nation name only. Example:

"Co-authored by The Most Glorious Hack"

Further branding will result in the Proposal being deleted. Don't list everyone who posted in the thread for your draft, don't list yourself, don't list your Minister Of Making Proposals, and don't post the 'pre-title' of the co-author (ie: "The Republic Of...").

Oh I see, Sorry new to the game.

No worries. Sorry, we probably shouldn't be taking it this seriously. Anyway, it was good, so have a card:

Non sequitur: Is the reference to "subjects of the Kingdom" illegal, by branding or some other rule? Just curious.

I'm not certain if this was your intent - though evidence is very much in favor of it being so, but joke proposals are illegal. The title, despite that the text seems to be working against the raping of animals, is specific in such a way that it sounds like a joke proposal. If you were serious (which your responses sound like you weren't), then I suggest you make the title, etc, more pertinent to general animal sex. If not, I suggest you do not submit future joke proposals and just post them here so we can all share a laugh.

Unfortunately, I've not had a chance to parse through all the text.

Fair enough! lol.

What about goats? They wouldn't be covered under this proposal. In the name of all that is holy, think of the goats, man!!!

I wonder what certain nations will think if otters are included.

if this is a serious proposal, i'm reminded of something i learned in my world religions classes in school.

Beastiality was viewed as a serious crime in the Jewish tradition and they had a really good way of preventing re-occurance of the offence. I believe it was death by stoning.

I hope that we've grown up a bit since those days and that we can tackle this subject and move onto more important things which need our attention.

Ms Midori Kasigi-Nero, deputy ambassador

Yeah, important things like divorce, solar panels, and inflatable Gandalfs...

I believe that we've grown up a bit since those days and that we can tackle this subject and move onto more important things which need our attention.
So, you actually do think that the UN should address beastiality? Pray tell, in the name of all that is comfy... why?

Gorgias
Speaker to the UN

it appears i've been misunderstood.

all i want to do is leave this subject behind and to move on. I don't think beastiality is a worthy subject for the UN to tackle.

Ms Midori Kasigi-Nero, deputy ambassador

That they have been blessed?

Please bear in mind the people of Gruenberg are very attached to their goats.

Very.

Attached.

You do not realise what a grave act of sacrilege you have committed.

May the curses of our otters be upon you:p

*gasp*

Well I never! I was certain I'd never see the day when Compadria ended a post with anything other than an offer of otter blessings! And this! This is... this is... well I don't know what this is, but it sure ain't otter blessings!

Trouble is, the curses only work on a night with a full moon and with over sixty otters simultaneously casting the curse.

We'll have to see if that was the case:D

May the blessings of our otters be upon you.

Don't they cancel each other anyway? We have all been blessed by your otters 400+ times, what's a lil' curse gonna do? :rolleyes:

I see you have been cursed before... was it painful? ;)

Nah, stung a little bit from time to time, but it didn't really interfere with my social life.

I see, I see. Is that because your social life doesn't involve use of your naughty bits?

[OK, this is miles off topic. So me shuts up. :x ]

Sadly, yes. :(

Stoning sounds like as good a way to tackle it as any.

Trouble is, the curses only work on a night

To hide their identities and help them sneak up on the person

with a full moon

So they can see their quarry

and with over sixty otters simultaneously casting the curse.

With some very large point objects that don't feel so good when they hit your skin.

:P
