ROUGH DRAFT: Repeal Resolution #81
DECLARING that UN Resolution #80 shall become Null and void

Hilarious.

--Snip--

Sorry. I had already typed it up before posting it so I just wanted to get it on the fourms.

Despite the fact that Resolution 80 is one of the most horribly constructed resolutions to have ever hit the UN's books, I cannot support this repeal.

What exactly is Resolution #80 about? If it's about religious beliefs then tell me, as I have no religous beliefs, nor do our people. But we are preparing for a social disease.

Rights of Women and Minorities or something like that

UNITED NATIONS RESOLUTION #80
Rights of Minorities and Women

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Ok. I can't really see anything wrong with it. It's actually pretty good, compared to some of the others, but I'm not referring right now.

We'd support a repeal of this. It states 'no religion...is better or more right than another'. Bullshit. We all know those who do not tremble in awe of Wena's might are condemned to rot for all eternity. We would support a replacement, but only that fully recognised the superiority of our religion over all others. As it should be.

Hmm....somehow I recall a much more poorly constructed resolution than this.......

Are all religions equal to no religion? How would you define a religion? Is believing in nothin believing in nothing? Am I talking like an incoherent baboon pepped up on spritzers?

dang, beat me to it

going through your argument...

i see nothing wrong with this.

point 1: i seriously dont get how you see this. how can you get 'allowing violent cultures' out of this? especially since the way you have done this, this argument is agains 'no race is better than any other'.

point 2: i see it as, and it could come across as a bit sexist, if they want the rights, they have to do the work too. there are plenty of women across TLA who are willing to do manual labour work, and even do it better than some guys.

point 3: nothing is forcing you to allow enemy races. if they legitamatly break the law, they can still be locked up

point 4: the rights of the people are greater than the rights of the nation. there are two things with this:
1) you can still have a state religion, just that you have to allow others as well
2) your nation could just be followers of that religion. that is what is happening in Eternal Kewaii (sorry EK if i have spelt that wrong)

the Bill of Rights already covers religious freedom and free speech.

Although UNR #80 is fluffy its something I can agree with and I would need a lot of convincing to support a repeal of it.

Prejudice and bigotry. Fonzoland says no.

Prejudice and bigotry.

Gruenberg says yes. But this repeal does need work.

man, you will end up going to war with EK over that one...

sorry, but i have to agree with Fonzoland. this repeal is very much predjudicial and full of bigotory, and is the very reason the resolution it is trying to repeal exists.

1). If you condemn the U.N.'s fight against inequality and the improvement of civil rights, why do you label yourself a Communist? Is this not somewhat inconsistent with those ideals.

2). I'm more appalled at your spelling to be honest. In addition, where is your scenario envisaged in Resolution 80.

3). Wouldn't this lead to an equalisation of the workforce, which is a key tenant of Communist societies, as well as improving your economy by expanding the workforce base.

4). Define "enemy races".

5). This does no such thing, it merely requires you recognise and not harass practioners of other faiths.

May the blessings of our otters be upon you.

hows this for a hastily drawn up repeal draft?

PRAISING member states efforts to fight inequality and to improve civil rights

MINDFUL of existing and continuing attempts to fight inequality and improve civil liberties

NOTING that this resolution accomplishes nothing already set out in current resolutions, and future resolutions will almost inevitably accomplish more, be more substantive, and more detailed.

DISAPPOINTED at the redundant nature of this resolution.

HEREBY repeals afformentioned resolution

hows this for a hastily drawn up repeal draft?

It's fine. It's just, this is a low priority. I know the resolution's wrong: but to be honest, we all know my culture's better than everyone else's, no matter what the UN says, so it's not a big problem. Skinning redundant resolutions is something which is wholly worthwhile, but I think this'll have to wait a bit.

I'd like to see a repeal, but could never support the draft put forward by The Marxist State.

"ANNOYED that this forces us to allow enemy races and thus causing unrest in the populace"?! This apparently racist populace can bloody well put up and shut up.

"FRIGHTENED that this article is against a nations right to have an official religious belief." You're wrong, it doesn't stop that, but nations don't have rights, as far as we're concerned, only duties - to provide that which their people have a right to, and to protect their liberties. And state-endorsed dogma is not part of that.

It's fine. It's just, this is a low priority.

I know, which is exactly why I spent all of 2 minutes on the draft :)

What is so bad about this proposal? It actually seems to make a better place in the world? But with it saying no religion is better or worse than another, it should probably be replaced with something a little more convenient.

The more you post something, the greater its impact. :rolleyes:

Sorry! I accidentally keep on posting two of the same things, my computer is a bit wacky!

Delete one of them. Delete one of them.

from Resolution #80 _

Description: The UN should recognize that all people are created equal. The matter of race, sex, religion or sexual preference should not make anyone less equal. These are inalienable rights of all UN nation citizens.

"created"? Unproven assumption!

"created"? Unproven assumption!

Not really. "Created" doesn't have to mean by a divine figure/force, it could mean your parents.

Or a test tube

Not really. "Created" doesn't have to mean by a divine figure/force, it could mean your parents.

But then different people would have had different creators, which would make the assumed "equal" nature more questionable...

Wow...don't repeal it...support it...put a sticky-note on it. Yes, it's written badly....but what can be done? Should we risk repealing it, so we can re-submit a better one? The time between the two dates could be horrible. And what if we can never get it back? Stay on the safe side, either leave it alone or add on to it.
