There is no existing UN resolution concerning the treatment of non-sentient creatures. Weasel Stomping Day is a GO!

Politicians should be native to every NS nation. I think that's within the letter of the law.

I agree fully. We don't have to many that aren't in captivity, though.

Well, I must say this is a wonderful idea, weally wonder. Wabbitwestling has bean a wegimental tradition for the 34th Segwenas Pioneers since last Tuesday, and it's marvellous. Weasal stomping, is even better, in my mind, as I can pwonounce it. I am afeared, however, that some countwies might go to far and introdude "Weasal Fighting (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65QwXDX6Ds0)", which is just wong.

Ah, but weasels ARE sentient. They're just not sapient.
(Oh, gods, I love that argument. Love it love it love it. It is better than the abortion argument. It is better than the gay marriage argument. IT IS EVEN BETTER THAN THE UN ARMY ARRRGHUMENT. You can't beat the classics.)
ANyway, let me deal with the actual proposal (Sally, will you fill in the bits I've left out?? And send a copy to the Herald, please, but not the Sun) ...
Insert learned sounding-question with mod suck-up, for example:
On the basis of the recent ruling by the deeply venerated Frisbeeteria, in which he clearly establishes the principle of similarity, simultaneity or some such word involving sameness, may we then conclude that the existing wording covers the substitution of any proposed stomp-ee for whom/which the term "weasel" might be appropriate?
State probable vote: I fear my nation cannot support this proposal.
Supply reason that suggests you have read proposal with a magnifying-glass:
Clauses 1 to 4 are unnecessarily detailed, intrusive and generally restrictive of the ability of governments to adjust the UN's pronouncements to their individual cultural differences, while at the same time accepting and honouring the spirit and specific wording of the resolution. (Translation: take out the specific wording, dammit!).
Expand on my usual micromanagement argument here.
For example (insert usual paragraphs of inventive citations of nations which, owing to their curious practices, might possibly be discommoded by these provisions).
Furthermore (insert several paragraphs of detailed citations of past UN resolutions; crib these from folk at Reclamation).
And, finally (insert carefully in-character denunciation of the proposer's character's ancestry, physical appearance, grammar, spelling and mental capacity. I'm feeling stroppy today).
I realise I have taken up a great deal of the UN's time on this issue, but (insert usual explanation re need to help newcomers).

Kat apparently likes being sigged. She enjoyed it when I quoted her about putting a ref to dildoes in sigs in my sig -- with the word "dildo" censored, of course. ;)

We were going to try and find a cure for that, but there was this good show on the television that I didn't want to miss, and then I had to have a drink...
