Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Coker Cobra

Description: RESOLVED: THE UN MUST BE ABOLISHED. IT IS ANOTHER LINK IN THE WORLDWIDE CONSPIRACY TO HOLD DOWN DESERVING NATIONS OF THEIR RIGHTFUL PLACE.

TO THE QUESTION OF WHAT IT SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH, IT SHOULD NEVER BE REPLACED. LET EACH NATION RULE AS IT WISHES. IT'S NOT LIKE ANY NATION CAN AFFECT ANY OTHER NATION. (NO WAR, NO SANCTIONS IN THIS GAME ANYWAY)

UNLIKE MOST, HOWEVER, I PROPOSE THAT IT'S STAIN ON THIS UNIVERSE BE REMOVED VOLUNTARILY. NO COUNTRY WISHING TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THIS TRAVISHAMOCKERY WILL BE ACTED AGAINST IN ANY WAY.

FACT: THE UN SUCKS. IT IS RUN BY A GROUP OF PEOPLE WITH AGENDAS THAT USUALLY CONFLICT HEAVILY. THE TYRANNY OF THE MANY IS ENOUGH TO SUPPRESS THE FEW DISSENTERS.

FACT: TO SOME COUNTRIES, THE UN IS THE ONLY BODY THEY CAN DEPEND ON. TO HAVE THIS ORGANIZATION "STAB THEM IN THE BACK", BY FORCING THEM TO FOLLOW THESE "RESOLUTIONS", MANY THAT INFRINGE ON THEIR SOVEREIGN RIGHTS, IS NOT RIGHT.

FACT: THIS IS A VENTING BY MYSELF, AFTER LOOKING AT SOME OF THE PAST "RESOLUTIONS" PASSED BY THIS BODY.

OPINION: BURN, ROT, CORRODE, AND DIGEST IN HELL, UN.

This is the end of this resolution.

Note: DIE UN DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE (repeat DIE thirty-seven thousand times... I'm sure there's about a thousand (or less) UN members worth saving... Right? And I'm not about to type DIE thirty-seven thousand times, neither.)

P.S.: Please treat this Resolution seriously... it took me all of a thousand seconds to come up with.

Description: No personal income tax rates shall exceed 40%, nor shall corporate income tax rates exceed 40%, nor shall capital gains be taxed in excess of 15%, nor inheritances be taxed in excess of 20%.
Umm, is that possible to implement?

Yeah, I saw the "Die, UN Die" proposal, and laughed myself silly.

On the "Tax Ceiling" proposal, I'd probably withdraw from the UN right away. The Socialist Technocracy of Insequa doesn't use money - so to the UN, that appears as a 100% income tax.

Wow, that's pretty illegal.

Ya'think?

Ya'think?
I'm really rather surprised that someone would try to destroy the UN through a UN proposal, personally...

That, and the fact that it's mostly incoherent.

If everybody has "conflicting agendas", then who are these "many" mentioned in there? And who is it that "runs" the UN anyway, but everybody in it?

Oh, and that it says "FACT: THE UN SUCKS."
Who needs rationality?

I hate FACT.

If it was a fact I wouldn't need it pointed out to me in an obnoxious way.

Category: Gambling
Legalize/Outlaw: Outlaw
Proposed by: The Anubian Dragon

Description: me must disallow gambling for good in the world!

what good does it bring us? it's only use is money! money is not the only thing that is important in this world.

religion and family values are what are important.

even for the poor, god is there for them.
for the rich, god is there for them.

where are we? gambling all our money away in casinos!
God gave us the ability to do work! and through that, god gave us money as a reward of work!

so we are practically wasting away a gift from god in risky gambles!

sometimes, these gambles can be dangerous!
this is why i think we should outlaw gambling immediately!

"who's with me!?" ;)

I am hoping the UN will see my point and join me in this fight against gambling. Thank you.

Yes, "Bad stuff man, BAD STUFF!" is actually the name of the proposal...

Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Tycholand

Description: ALARMED BY international (organized) crime, The Democratic Republic of Tycholand hereby suggests finding the International Criminal DateBase, or ICDB for short. The ICDB will be a fully-automatic database, keeping track of wanted-criminals (that includes any terrorists as well) across the globe.

The ICDB:
-Let’s police in all ICDB-participating nations enter any wanted-criminals.
-Automatically registers if criminals (that includes suspect terrorists and terrorists) cross the border of a participating nation and
-Alerts custom officials for suspects.
-After the criminal is taken into custody, an extradition-process can begin to the nation where the particular criminal is wanted.

ICDB participants would have to:
-Install special software and hardware at international borders and ports of entry. (Think of land border-points, airports and harbours.)
-Realizing that not every nation has enough money to install the ICDB systems, a special United Nations Fund will be implemented, assisting with any financial trouble an ICDB-participant may have in implementing this system.

NOTING the benefits of this system, The Democratic Republic of Tycholand thinks it worthwhile to install this system.

Benefits:
-Prevents any future crimes that would have been committed if the ICDB wasn’t implemented.
-Makes it easier to catch terror suspects and actual terrorists.
-Travellers will feel safer.
So, what exactly is the ICDB? You've provided plenty of reasoning on what it will do, but have not yet stated what exactly it entails...

Description: THE PURPOSE of this act is that no one in the world is unemployed and at least works for 1 hour a week

for this to take place first there needs to be a variety of places/centres to assist unemployed citizens to find jobs or to help them set up jobs for themselves and others
- People with enough money have to set up businesses to increase number of vacant jobs available
- People with no skills can go to schools where they can retake exams, plus vacant jobs will be made with teachers to teach them
- people could take courses to become self-employed in areas needed

the following rules apply
-sick pay and holiday period increase
-fines for no work or not going to work
-can't leave job after signing contract for up to 6 months

FREEDOMS - the freedoms are,right of being able to pick hours, right of complaining about working conditions and pay
Wait, so everybody has to work?
Say goodbye to retirement and people who can't physically work...

People who don't want guns are no good hippy's and nothing would be resolved, all i ask is that big fat nations like us should stick together!! Imagine going on a game like "Grand Theft Auto:San Andreas" without the use of a gun and plus without the use of guns we would be over-populated. PEACE OUT!!FAT POWER!!!

Resolution: #43
Proposed by: Praeland

Description: UN Resolution #43: Legalise Euthanasia (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: This measure is criminal in nature whereas it suggests the taking of lives. Euthanasia is still murder, whether the argument is religious or not. Medical technologies are currently increasing at such a rate that resuscitation, of individuals within coma-induced states, is in the near future.

It is not in the hands of the government, or the individual's family to make an informed decision to practice Euthanasia. All persons conflicted with illness, or otherwise have the ultimate say on their life. The government must protect its citizens lives at all costs.
Whether or not it takes lives does not matter, what matters is whether or not there is justification...

Resolution: #43
Proposed by: Neopunis

Description: UN Resolution #43: Legalise Euthanasia (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Whilst We recognize the sensitivity of this issue it is precisely because of this sensitivity that we do not feel that the national sovereignty of U.N. nations should be overruled on an issue of this importance by a mere margin of 779 votes in 10,000. We ask those of you who feel strongly in favor of this issue to understand the will of those nations who cannot accept it and allow for this to be an issue left to the voters at a local level. While most, if not all nations, would likely agree that the wanton prolongation of life in a situation of great physical or psychological pain is unnecessary there is for many a great step from this to allowing the termination of a life that would not expire on its own, regardless of the will of the individual. It is a dangerous moral slope which is best left to the individual sovereignty of each of our peoples.

REALIZING that many of the governments throughout the world cannot properly regulate such a practice due to their own personal objections to prostitution and other immoral acts,

QUESTIONING if the proposed idea in Resolution #91 that the legalization of prostitution would result in a decrease of Sexually Transmitted Diseases,

DECLARE prostitution to be an immoral act

REALIZE that government encouragement of such an act cannot possibly be good for our individual nations as well as the world as a whole

Proposed by: Mayvennia

Description: UN Resolution #91: The Sex Industry Worker Act (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: I'm not not going to make this all fancy just to make this look professional, but please read this anyway.
Prostitution Should Be Illegal! If a person wants to 'sell their body' let them sell it to a doctor for research! With the resolution to make prostitution legal, there would not only be a higher divorce rate, but abortion rate as well. Of course, abortion is legal in all UN states, but who among you would kill your own child? The divorce rate is aproblem as well. How many wives sit waiting by the front door worrying and waiting for their husbands to return, only to realize that he was having a 'good time'.
Also, how would crime go down? If anything, the crime rate would raise. The prostitutes would spend more of their greater income on booze and cigarettes; they get drunk/high, and commit crimes.
"A fool with no money can do nothing, but a fool with money will do anything he wants" give a prostitute money, the prostitute will spend on drinks/drugs, and need more, and because of the legalness of it, they'll gain more with no obstruction.
I've said it before, that this is anything but professional, but please, help lower crime.

Description: Cheqeslovakia feels it is unnessacary for an invading force to enter or bomb a civilian area unless they are positively sure that it would bring about the end of the invasion hastely and with less loss of innocent life.
e.g finding a war criminal or destroying a infostructure or building vital to the opposing military force.

Under no surcumstances should a nation destroy or threaten to destroy a civilian infostructure or building unless there are active insurgents or terrorists holding the building for hostile reasons.
Wha the fuck is an "exacuation"?

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #91
Proposed by: Kreen

Description: UN Resolution #91: The Sex Industry Worker Act (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Recalling The Sex Industry Act

1. Prostition is immoral and should not be promoted.

2. Ever heard of STD's? well no matter the amount of regulations they will still run rampant, how long does an HIV check up take? Only about 24 hours but how mauny times could a prostitute have sex in that time? Also it takes about six months for the anti-bodies which are used for the scan to show up making the test faulty and possibly incorrect?

3. Legalizing prostitution is another way if increasing illegal drug use. This affects not only the populace but also the economy, who wants to find a factory worker who has a part time job as a gay stoned prostitute? Medical studies show that people who have low self esteem are more likely to take drugs, and what is prostitution but a way of saying you have low self esteem.

4. Big bussiness/corporations, and CEOs already take advantages of loopholes in the tax structure, what makes you think that Pimps and prostitution will be any different?

Yes.

So, what exactly is the ICDB? You've provided plenty of reasoning on what it will do, but have not yet stated what exactly it entails...

Just to point out that the member has actually explained the proposal. Read more carefully...


International Criminal DateBase, or ICDB for short. The ICDB will be a fully-automatic database, keeping track of wanted-criminals (that includes any terrorists as well) across the globe.


However, generally, I agree that the vast majority of proposals are utterly ridiculous, if not illegal, and in many cases deliberately disruptive to the smooth operation of the UN.

Proposed by: The Prince of Tyrus

Description: We at the Theocracy of The Prince of Tyrus believe that stupidity is infecting our God's barren earth with increasing virility.
This proposal is proof of this statement.
We believe that obese people should no longer be able to complain about the width seats, nor force other citizens to inhale when they walk past to avoid the stench and just to squeeze past.Who wrote this proposal, Simon Dean? (for those of you who don't know, Simon Dean is a WWE superstar who hawks a line of weight loss products called the Simon System and constantly calls the audience members fat)
We believe that the ugly have for too long dominated the ranks of the middle and lower classes, and for far too long attracted morbidly curious looks.I don't know, I've see some ugly rich people too.
We believe the ranks of the socially undesirable should be thinned a little, if not eradicated completely.
OK, you first.:D
We understand that this infestation is an ongoing problem and will need significant funding and regulation to ensure that the population doesnt decrease.Infestation? They make it sound like they have fleas or something.
We propose that stupid, ugly and obese citizens should be sent to special "Purging Camps" where a last chance effort to become 'one of us' is forced during an intense 2 week training course.Right, obese people are supposed to lose the weight in only two weeks.:rolleyes:
Those that pass will be readmitted to the population pending 6 month reviews for the next 10 years. Those that fail will be removed from the population, and recycled into goods and services that actually better mankind, as opposed to dragging it down into the filthy degenerate DNA soup that is to become Earth's future.I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's people! Soylent Green is people!

A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.


Category: Free Trade


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Fritz von Splurgenhof

Description: PROBLEM: The average height of individuals in various countries is greatly varied. This leads to an unfair advantage in trade of certain comestibles.

FOR EXAMPLE: In agriculture, particularly the growing of fruit trees. The orchards of nations whose average height is larger than normal may be forced to grow taller, lower yield trees so as to save their employees from bad backs from bending down to pick fruit.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE: In the building trade, the nations whose height average is lower will be at a significant economic advantage as houses and dooorways will be built smaller and therefore use less materials and therefore be cheaper to build. This will also have a nock-on effect on the building materials industry.

There are many other such problems which lead to an unfair global marketplace.
THEREFORE in the interests of a FREE AND JUST TRADE ARENA, we would request that all nations, through either genetic modification, compulsory use of the rack, hanging weights from feet or some other scientifically proven method, would ensure that all individuals were 6"4 tall.
A vote for this proposal is another step towards economic justice.
I'd feel sorry for any nation's whose population are comprised of only midgets if this were to pass.

Category: Environmental


Industry Affected: Woodchipping


Proposed by: James Ellis

Description: It is obvious that many people care not about the state of the world. Scientific research has proven that cutting down trees leads to loss of animal ilfe and global warming. Widespread deforestation may not have adverse effects in our lifetime, but we have a duty to care for this planet in order that it may be a hospitable place for future generations.

In order to combat this, the Holy Empire of James Ellis suggests that trees should be given rights

In order to assist us in thinking about the rights of trees, I propose that all trees should be given names, such as Steven, Edward or James Ellis. This will help us to think of trees as individuals, which of course they are.

Once this is done, we may be able to understand that trees, as a part of the natural world have intrinsic rights to exist. They are created, along with us, and thus we have no justification for mindlessly slaughtering them. Deforestation will henceforth be seen as the crime of genocide.

A vote for the rights of trees is a vote for a better world.
Deforestation is genocide?:rolleyes:

^LOL@Flibbelites. The tree rights one was the funniest- eventually, we'll outlaw the killing of plants and animals, leaving us nothing to eat. I sympathize with the main idea of environmentalism (to improve the environment), but some of the things they present are impossible to implement/enforce (for one, how do you plan on stopping wolves from eating deer or that same deer from eating plants?).

The tree one also reminded me of one episdoe of "Dinosaurs" when Earl changed into a tree after a lightning strike. Man, was that a funny show...

Category: Recreational Drug Use
Decision: Promote
Proposed by: Oei

Description: Drugs are no drugs as people think they are. They just change your point of view. The effect has been observed in Oei and appears very interesting: in The Most Serene Republic of Oei the excessive use of all kinds of drugs has lead to a serenity of our leader that is unheard of. Last week he still had peoples head chopped off, now he grants them the freedom to take their own lifes.

The current mental state of our otherwise so violent ruler is something the Most Serene Republic of Oei sees as the optimum mental state for every worldleader, and so absolutely necessary, and since every individual is potentially a worldleader, we state the following:

Every citizen under the laws of the United Nation must be able, preferably forced, to use drugs on at least a weekly base to improve mental stabily and political health for all coming generations.
Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot?
"Drugs are no drugs"?
"Preferably forced"?

Oh, and he submitted it twice too.
Category: Moral Decency
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: James Ellis

Description: It is well known that people find it difficult to make decisions concerning ethics and morality. For example, debates still rage about euthanasia and abortion.

This resolution therefore proposes to train people in moral decision making in order to assist those facing difficult decisions. Just as a person who delivers milk is called a milk man, and a person who delivers letters is a postman, so too a person who makes moral decisions for other people is a moral man.

In the interest of moral decency, civil freedoms must be restricted, and what better way to do this than to have people payed to make decisions for people. Of course this would not be compulsary for all those who find ethical decision-making a challenge, but the option would be open to all who can't be bothered to think for themselves.

Moral Men are the future!
Hell no!
Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: All Businesses
Proposed by: James Ellis

Description: As of now, the word "environment" is to be defined as all-inclusive i.e. to include humans. This is because there is no justification for viewing humanity as apart from the natural world. Not only have we evolved from nature, we belong to it and find our home in it.

With this new definition in mind, there can be no doubt that caring for the environment should be a priority. For if we fail to care for the environment, we fail to care for each other. Polluting the world, for example, by burning fossil fuels or dropping litter, is equivalent to polluting our own bodies, for example by smoking or taking drugs.

If we care for ourselves and each other, we must care for the environment.

Description: We, the States Members of the United Nations,
Concerned about the serious world drug problem,

1. Reaffirm our unwavering determination and commitment to overcoming the world drug problem through domestic and international strategies to reduce both the illicit supply of and demand for drugs;

2 we renew our commitment to adopting and reinforcing comprehensive national legislation and strategies to give effect to the provisions of those conventions, ensuring through periodic reviews that the strategies are effective;



3. Recognize with satisfaction the progress achieved by States, both individually and working in concert, and express deep concern about the new social contexts in which the consumption of illicit drugs, particularly of amphetamine-type stimulants, is taking place;

4. Welcome the efforts of the wide range of people working in various fields against drug abuse and are encouraged by the behaviour of the vast majority of youth who do not consume illegal drugs, and decide to give particular attention to demand reduction, notably by investing in and working with youth through formal and informal education, information activities and other preventive measures;

5. Affirm our determination to provide the necessary resources for treatment and rehabilitation and to enable social reintegration to restore dignity and hope to children, youth, women and men who have become drug abusers, and to fight against all aspects of the world drug problem;

6. Call upon the United Nations system and invite the international financial institutions, to include action against the world drug problem in their programmes, taking into account the priorities of States;

7. Call for the establishment or strengthening of regional or subregional mechanisms, and invite those mechanisms to share experiences and conclusions resulting from the implementation of national strategies ;

8. Express deep concern about links between illicit drug production, trafficking and involvement of terrorist groups, criminals and transnational organized crime, and are resolved to strengthen our cooperation in response to those threats;

9. Call upon our communities, especially families, and their political, religious, educational, cultural, sports, business and union leadership, non-governmental organizations and the media worldwide to actively promote a society free of drug abuse, especially by emphasizing and facilitating healthy, productive and fulfilling alternatives to the consumption of illicit drugs, which must not become accepted as a way of life;

10. Decide to devote particular attention to the emerging trends in the illicit manufacture, trafficking and consumption of synthetic drugs, and call for the establishment or strengthening by the year 2008 of national legislation and programmes giving effect to the Action Plan against Illicit Manufacture, Trafficking and Abuse of Amphetamine-type Stimulants and their Precursors, adopted at the present session;


These are new and serious promises which will be difficult to achieve, but we are resolved that such commitments will be met by practical action and the resources needed to ensure real and measurable results;

Together we can meet this challenge.

Proposed by: Upper Strathyclyde

Description: Deaths caused by the misuse of firearms is rising, and crime rates with it. The following proposal states a solution for the control over the civilian use of firearms.

I.The only personnell permitted to own and carry a firearm are on-duty military personell and civil service agents. These guns should be registered, and have the latest trigger-lock technology, allowing only a certain fingerprint to fire the gun.

II. All military and civil service agents before being able to carry and fire a weapon, must pass a standerdised government test on the use and maintanence of firearms. After passing such a test, personell must take a course on the ability to use such guns.

III. All citizens must give up their weapons and firearms. If decrotive (ex. and ornamental musket) the citizen must bring it to a local police station to have it checked, and must prove that it is impossible to use as a firearm. After proof has been given, the citizen shall recieve a license for an ornamental firearm. All non-citizens may not own any type of gun, ornamental or not. However, citizens and non-citizens may own ornamental swords, or any other kind of non-firing weapon.

IV. All incoming imports shall go through an inspection to prove no illegal weapons are being smuggled in.
a. To cut down on smuggling, all airports, ports, stations and all other public transportation must be equipped with metal detectors, and X-Ray scanning equipment.

V. Any civilian caught in the possession of an unregistered firearm shall pay a fine of 2000 local credits, and face interrogation. If foung guilty in such an interrogation, he/she shall stand trial. If found guilty, the minimum is 15 years without parole.

Resolution: #61


Proposed by: The United Nathans

Description: UN Resolution #61: Abortion Rights (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The UN,

ACKNOWLEDGING that the only differences between an unborn child and an infant who has left the womb are age and location,
Not really,
RECOGNISING that no human being owns another, hence that no mother has the right to decide to have her child killed, and that abortion practices are repulsive,

RECOGNISING also that abortions are traumatic to potential mothers and can lead to serious depression afterwards, as well as being damaging to the mother's reproductive system, in many cases leading to later infertility when a child is wanted,
Depression? You think carrying the child to term would make her feel better?

ACKNOWLEDGING that the grounds of disability leading to abortion are seroiusly flawed, as it is insulting to disabled members of society, who are as valuable to any community as any able-bodied person in most ways, to tell them that they have a low quality of life,

RECOGNISING that sexual relations between those who do not want a child are irresponsible and that resulting conception is entirely the couple's fault, and not the young child's - meaning that the punishment of death should not be laid on the child,

and INSISTING on the sanctity of human life,
Sanctity?
Where?
repeals UN resolution #61 'Abortion Rights' as an immoral and senseless resolution.

Category: Gun Control
Decision: Relax
Proposed by: Popezilla

Description: I think that kids should be allowed to carry personal guns. They must have some kind of personal training. They are also required to have a permit. Kids should have guns because they need some kind of protection against rapists, gangs, and other things that are harmful to children.

Kids who violate this proposal shall face serious consequences such as:
1) Death Penalty
2) Life in Penal Colony
3) Community Service in Old Folks Home
4) Beat-Down by Chief Enforcer Joshiz0 in Region LiKnolliums!

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Metranda

Description: Many nations throughout the world control just about every aspect of their people's lives. What their job is, what they vote for, even HOW THEY FEEL.

In the sense of governmental decency I hereby propose:

1) That Dictatorships be transformed in each region of the world into any other form of rule that allows its people to make at least A decision on their own.

2) That any nation shall not have an income tax rate of 80% or more; that the people may have money of their own, that it all not go to the government.
Huh...
Category: Global Disarmament
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Metranda

Description: UN Resolution #16 "Elimination of Bio-Weapons" is a very imperative resolution.

However, I propose that the strength of this act be increased, and that the following occurs:

1) Uranium mining be banned in all nations under the basis that Uranium can be used to create weapons with about the same impact as a bio-weapon.

2) That each nation dedicate 3-5% of its income to environmental programs as to increase the biological status of itself.

With these increased steps on Resolution #16, the world will be a safer and cleaner place for all.
This has little or nothing to do with Resolution 16, on top of the fact that you can't really change passed resolutions.

Let the people decide for themselves wether or not it should be used for creative process. (p.s. this isnt a joke. I think this would be a good resolution, so dont just dismiss this 'cause im talkin' about weed.)
Marijuana brought us J.R. Tolkien and the Beetles, just don't get them confused with J.R.R. Tolkien and The Beatles. I also like how the author claims that this proposal is not a joke, when he can't even get names right.

Resolution: #6
Proposed by: The Chrisland
Description: UN Resolution #6: End slavery (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The individual nations should decide for themselves whether or not to abolish slavery. Democracy in ancient Greek means people power or government. The Chrisland does not support slavery but it does support the right to choose the rout a rout for their nation. If a country gets to zealous about slaves and masters, eventually the people will abolish slave labor. Instead of forcing nations to do the rigt thing(opinion) we should let them figure this out on their own. Perhaps we can regulate the treatment of enslaved peoples.

Repeal "MANDATORY RECYCLING"

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #13
Proposed by: Pyrodex
Description: UN Resolution #13: MANDATORY RECYCLING (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: All Businesses) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: In many cases, it takes more for energy to "recycle" paper than it does to create it from trees, and under current UN management laws, trees are plentiful and a wholly renewable resource, not in danger of annihilation.

Also, there is no specification of what kind of "batteries" are to be recycled. Many small, cheap batteries are not recyclable.

Paper, Glass, and Aluminum are harmless to the environment, and can be disposed of without harming nature. If disposed of properly, batteries are harmless as well.

This resolution is poorly worded, gives no instruction on how "recycling" is to be carried out, and therefore has no power.

Speaking as the first approver (is that even a word?) of this proposal I must speak up and say that I don't feel that this one qualifies as silly. This resolution is redundant and, as mentioned, was already replaced by the resolution "RBH Replacement" therefore repealing "Required Basic Healthcare" is just cleaning up the past resolutions.

Yeah, I agree. I saw that one, and at reading the title it sounded silly, but after actually reading the proposal it makes sense.

I guess your right. I just don't feel that it is justified to waste a week voting so that a redudant resolution can be repealed. It just seemed silly to me that to stop it from "taking up un space" it another ammentment repealing it will be added and So in other word if this passed the resolution will take up more "UN space"

Resolution: #43


Proposed by: Hapax Legomenon

Description: UN Resolution #43: Legalise Euthanasia (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The Holy Empire of Hapax Legomenon-

RECOGNIZING - The controversy behind euthanasia

SEEING - That the vote for and against this resolution had marginal distinction, and therefore perhaps a revote was needed but never given
Why in the name of the Goddess does everyone use that as an argument?
Here's a hint to everybody:
IT DOESN'T MATTER!
AFFIRMING - That many controversial topics should be left to the choices of individual nations

AFFIRMING - That free people should have a choice in all matters of their lives

YET STILL RECOGNIZING - That those suffering of a life-threatening illness as well as those closest to them may not be in the right mental condition to make a decision of euthanasia
I like that. That wold be a great way to twist words to make a repeal.
ALSO NOTING - That the nation of Grande has ceased to exist
What in the nine Hells does that have to do with anything?
FINALLY NOTING - That this proposal is filled with many argumentative fallacies specifically the fallacy of ad misericordiam, and when stripped of these is really an argument of the freedom of murder
I'm really liking how in an argument based entirely around how people suffer unnecessarily, you wave your hand and dismiss it as ad misericordiam. Oh yeah, and should people not be able to die if they want to? I don't see how you can justify that.

Proposed by: James Ellis

Description: In the interest of reducing barriers to free trade and commerce, it seems an appropriate course of action to adopt a single unified currency throughout all united nations regions. In this way, everything will become so much simpler and easier, especially as the problem exchange rates will be overcome.

Obviously, different nations are at different stages of the economic cycle, and so it is unrealistic to think that it will be an easy transition to make. But, with a bit of effort, it should lead to economic advantages and better and easier trade and commerce.

Proposed by: James Ellis

Description: I propose the construction of a large network of underground, and in some cases, underwater, railways in order to allow easy imports and exports from country to country.

It is well known that ferrying goods or transporting them by lorry is slow. Yet if this high-speed railway network were to be established, it would lead to a much better trade and commerce system between countries. Moreover, no one would see them, thus they would not be sores on the landscape.

This is a necessary and fundamental step in reducing the barriers to free trade and commerce.

Note: The Right to bare arms will not be taken away from citizens, just certain groups who should not be allowed to handle Guns.

Resolution: #91
Proposed by: Nireva

Description: UN Resolution #91: The Sex Industry Worker Act (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Lets see what this resolution did..


RECALLING resolution #46 "Legalize Prostitution" and the repeal of that resolution,

Already repealed.


AFFIRMING in accordance with the above mentioned resolution that each person has the right to decide over their own body, and has the right to sell ther body if they decide to, without government interference,

Shouldn't drugs be allowed then? No they aren't. In most of nations.


ASSUMING an increase in Sexually Transmitted Diseases, as well as an increase in crime, and higher pressure on police, in a situation where prostitution is illegal,

Well. Now the doctors get the pressure. Is that better? No, victims may die becose of that.
And I don't mean prostitutes, I other people, like someone who die in car accident, and doctors can't do their job well becose of prostitutes.


ACKNOWLEDGING that health risks exist, even with legal prostitution,

Agreed. Health risks are high. Altought, smaller in illegal prostitution, as there wouldn't be as many prostitutes.


1. DECLARES prostitution legal throughout the UN: any person who is mature ,and capable of making their own decisions may become a prosititute,

Thought they could then have their decision about drugs, and start using them? No. They don't. At least in most of nations. Like said before.


2. EMPHASIZES that legalizing prostitution must coincide with regulation from the government, such as health and safety and other employment legislation, just like any other profession,

More money from government, and many better ways to spent it. Like creating real jobs?


3. RECOMMENDS nations that want to limit prostitution to tackle the issue by its roots and create education and social programs that will give more choice to people who might want to become a prostitute,

Agreed. And many nations are doing that. But. How about, if they don't want prostitution at all? You can have them, even if this is repealed.
But, you must have them, if this is not repealed.


4. REQUESTS all nations to stimulate a clean and attractive working environment for prostitutes, and advises cooperation with the sex industry to renovate old "illegal" prostitution areas in towns and cities,

Clean an attractive? Again more money from government, which could be spent creating real jobs, so no one would need to prostitute to get money.


5. CONDEMNS child abuse and slavery in accordance with earlier UN resolutions (End slavery, Child Labor, Outlaw Pedophilia, The Child Protection Act, Ban Trafficking in Persons, etc) and advises strong punishments against people involved with these despicable crimes that explicitly are not covered by legal prostitution.

At last, something clever.


So, why this had to get passed? I have no idea, as the 5th point is already in use. Even if this is repealed.

Well. This legalizes, or should we say FORCES, prostitution, but, even without this resolution, you could have prostitutes in your nation.
But lets assume, that you don't want prostitution, this resolution FORCED you to allow it.
This just has so many things wrong with it that I don't know where to start.

Description: it is only a matter of time before life is found outside the Earth and with our space travil technology it looks like these lifeforms will be finding us first.

but the question is will this life be friendly will it want peace, will it want to live on our world and learn about the Human race there is a slim chance it could happen, unfortunatly there is a stronger chance that these alien lifeforms will force the landing of an army on earth maybe to inslave the human race our maybe to destoy the earth. THIS IS A RISK WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO MAKE !

1. so i say we conbind our skills and man power to create an earth army in times of crisis, no matter who is at war is at war with who at the time, we sould come together as one to protect the Earth. one Earth one giant nation.

2. 2nd we should try and stop these invaders from even landing on the Earth by building Earth defences which would consist of 12 space stations circling the earth, all equiped with powerful lazer conons and state of the art space travil technology. better to be safe than sorry.

who knows after working together it could bring the world closer to world peace maybe even actieving it.

Category: Gun Control
Decision: Tighten
Proposed by: Rovamania

Description: I think that all civilians should be banned from having any type of gun at all. This would decrease the risk of gun based crimes, and the risk of police officers or soldiers being shot by civilians. Arms manufacturing companies would also be able to focus more on making law enforcement and military arms rather than arms for civilian use.
Which would make it so only law enforcement and criminals would have guns, and only powerful guns.
Fun fun fun!

An astronomer once pointed out that all anyone can see from space is barren land (and, well, The Great Wall of China, but that's different). Thus, aliens probably would pass by Earth, see nothing, and move on. The "Independence Day"-like event just simply won't happen.

Not even the Wall can be seen from space, according to the last thing I saw NASA say about it. Apparently, it's a myth that has been propagated for several decades with no one realizing it is such.

From space, all planets look barren. Any intelligent alien race would actually investigate if they saw or detected water.

Edit: Oh, the lights of some of our larger cities can be seen from space. Those would be a dead giveaway to an alien race.

Really? Interesting...I wonder what we saw before. The human eye can be a trickster, though (which explains the cannals on Mars).

Well, that would be assuming the alien race has a use for water or lights. You never know- an alien race may depend on gold to breathe, and may abhor water. My personal belief is that if we were to come across an alien race, they would exhibit characteristics that we would not recognize, probably even to the point where the conditions for their life would threaten a human's. The "humanoid" idea only comes because that's all we know, but there's the catch- that's all we know. There could be something radically different out there, something that we never thought could actually live- we just haven't found it yet.

Actually, I think it's due to the myth being around before people went to space. The minds of the astronauts merely did the rest.

If they are capable of space travel, they're likely to know that some lifeforms require water to exist. A planet with as much water as ours has would automatically be of interest then, even if just for the possibilities. When they approached, the obviously artficial items in space and the lights that are obviously not natural would be big hints.

I'll have to verify this, but this is a plausible explanation.

Maybe, maybe not. Remember, just because they are able to go across space doesn't mean that they would have seen everything or know everything about the Universe. Just how we've had nautical ships for thousands of years but (depending on your interpretation) only knew of North America for roughly a thousand years- we had the capabilities to go long distances but we didn't know everything about our planet right after gaining those capabilities; and, hey, an alien may think those lights are natural- remember, it all boils down to a chemical reaction, which can be natural (although they may gather that it isn't because of what is surrounding us).

Though, regardless, even if aliens would know of our existence, I doubt they'd want to "do something about us", at least the way it's presented in the movies. I mean, if they're looking for resources there's plenty in the Solar System, and all theirs for the taking. Plus, we've done a pretty good job at destroying our planet, so who knows how much worth it has to aliens? I also doubt that an intelligent alien force would just simply mindlessly attack us when we haven't provoked them nor tried to (though, mind you, that's pretty much what the Europeans did in North America). I don't know- I'd like to think an advanced alien society wouldn't target a puny planet like Earth when there are more likely bigger and better fish to catch in the Universe.

That would work if Earth wasn't out in the middle of nowhere. We're pretty much in a dead zone when it comes to life. If they come here, they're probably experienced.

True, but the question is, "why would they come?" I'd think an advanced alien civilization would do a lot better exploiting what's around them than some little planet on the edge of the Milky Way. Heck, if what scientists are saying is true (that the conditions that allow for an "Earth" is so small that's only likely a galaxy would have just one "Earth" of their own, if that), then it makes an interstellar voyage of that magnitude not worthwhile. They'd have better success plumbing their own backyard than going to some galaxy to subdue a little planet.

Though I want to know DLE, do you believe humans, if they ever go to space, will try to push around the aliens like the Europeans did to the rest of the world in the 19th century? Or would we show more respect this time?

Category: Gun Control
Decision: Tighten
Proposed by: Mists of Alverdia

Description: All guns should be completely removed from the public.

Guns help to create an unsafe society, in which there are more crimes, murders, etc., committed.

This decrees that guns only have a place in the military and law enforcement (in extreme cases only so as they would not easily be stolen) and do not need to be used by civilians for any reason.

With the high quality standards of our nations there is no need to use them for hunting. Hunting is merely a sport now, and an unnecessary one at that. Plenty of food is provided by farms and hunting is simply wasting food. And the food cannot always be cleaned properly as if it were regulated by FDA. Besides, people would still be able to continue hunting with bows and arrows.

Hereby, there is a COMPLETE BAN ON GUN OWNERSHIP by citizens not involved in the armed forces or law enforcement.

Note:Law enforcement only refers to police officers.

-The Society
The bit in bold is the silly part. The military only having weapons "in extreme cases"?
No thanks.

Humanity? Respect? Please. It wasn't that long ago the U.S. was having race riots because of people being treated unfairly due to their skin color. I seriously doubt humanity will improve farther in the next century than it has in the previous 10,000 years.

Hope you don't mind me adding my opinion. I think that humans would probably be respectful of an alien society, provided that such a society was extremely advanced militarily. The respect wouldn't last long, of course, only until humanity had come up with some method of countering the military advantage. Then it would be business as usual.
As to what would happen if humans came into contact with a peaceful alien society, I really wouldn't want to know.

Somehow knew someone would point that out. But would it be acceptable today?
In any case, the Lady Macbeth I mentioned wasn't meant to be Shakespeare's, instead Shostakovich's. You know, the opera. I'm really not sure there'd be many men willing to audition for an operatic soprano solo.

I agree slightly more with Enn because I'll agree that we'll give respect to people who are "better" than us, though it's nice to know I'm not the only one who thinks the way that I did- and it's something I fear, actually. Who knows what can of worms we'll be opening once we try to dominate the aliens? Do we really want to know? That is, of course, assuming we don't destroy ourselves first.

4) Prostitution is an act that distroys the sanctity of sexual intercourse and it intended purpose.
5) Sexual Intercourse is not a "toy" in which you go have it with someone you don't know every night.
6) In an effort to give our youth a happy, healthy, and prosperous life, prostitution is an act that can ultimently corrupt a child's life and have it take a turn for the worse.

Steroids give you muscles and shrink your testicles but that is a price some may want to pay. Tranquilizers help you sleep at night. These drugs should be freely, or at a small price distributed to the public. These drugs do not do that much harm and they would ensure that the police are not wasting their time on stupid teenagers that are caught in parks smoking a joint.

We need this, not just for the UN but for the world.

Repeal "Hydrogen Powered Vehicles"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal
Resolution: #18
Proposed by: Slimby

Description: UN Resolution #18: Hydrogen Powered Vehicles (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: Automobile Manufacturing) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: This resolution is impractical. Hydrogen is used as a fuel already but it is used in spacecraft. This would mean that should automobiles use hydrogen as fuel all vehicles would travel at enormous speeds, with no real method of braking.

Also, it has to be remembered why hydrogen is used in spacecraft. This is because it is highly explosive. If oil based fuels were not already dangerous enough you would be replacing them with a fuel which is more explosive and requires less heat to ignite.

Whilst Slimby RECOGNISES that this would reduce pollution it is purely idealistic thinking with to many shortfallings that these vehicles cannot be created.

Description: UN Resolution #43: Legalise Euthanasia (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: This resolution violates the right to life of those who have died by euthanasia. In many cases, this privilege has been abused, especially by those offering said "professional medical advice." This resolution allows for too much room for improper usage as well, which also endangers the lives of those "suffering."

I move to repeal this resolution immediately on the grounds that it contains no measures guaranteeing the rights and protection to life for those who may be euthanized against their consent or wishes, as they battle life-threatening diseases. I also move to repeal this resolution because it is entirely based on emotional appeals, and laws are supposed to be based on logic and reasoning, not emotions.

Resolution: #81


Proposed by: Waju

Description: UN Resolution #81: Definition of Marriage (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: RECOGNIZING that marriage is an institution that differs not only from country to country, but culture to culture.

CITING that marriage was an institution that has been proven to have existed since human society has developed

RECOGNIZING that marriage has evolved differently in different areas


THIS RESOLUTION calls for the repeal of United Naitons Resoltuion #81 "Definition of Marriage"

IN FAVOR OF a resolution that would protect, not define, the instituion of marriage.

CITING that marriage laws, customs, and practices are not universal.

EXPOSING the clause that states that, "FURTHER RECOGNIZES all nation's right to expand this definition beyond species borders as the individual governments see fit." as a loophole to bypass animal protection laws.
-CITING that the intentions or wishes of animals to marry humans cannot be determined


THE NOMADIC PEOPLES OF WAJU call for all nations to repeal this resolution in favor of another.
This one is here because of the rather funny misunderstanding in the end, wher s/he thinks the proposal was designed specifically to allow bestiality with that clause.

Resolution: #91


Proposed by: Kreen

Description: UN Resolution #91: The Sex Industry Worker Act (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Recalling the Sex Industry Act

1. Prostitution has been considered immoral by many and should not be promoted.

2. Ever heard of STD's? Well no matter the amount of regulations they will still run rampant, how long does an HIV check up take? Only about 24 hours but how many times could a prostitute have sex in that time? Also it takes about six months for the anti-bodies which are used for the scan to show up making the test faulty and possibly incorrect?

3. Legalizing prostitution is another way if increasing illegal drug use. This affects not only the populace but also the economy, who wants to find a factory worker who has a part time job as a gay stoned prostitute? Medical studies show that people who have low self esteem are more likely to take drugs, and what is prostitution but a way of saying that you have low self esteem.

4. Big business/corporations and CEOs already take advantages of loopholes in the tax structure, what makes you think that Pimps and prostitution will be any different?

5. Resolution #91 denies the right of all nations to decide for themselves whether they want prostitution to be legal.

THEREFORE, THIS PROPOSAL HEREBY RENDERS RESOLUTION #91 TO BE NULL, VOID, AND IRRELEVANT IN ALL UN MEMBER NATIONS.
Mein Gott in Himmel, I could swear I've seen this exact same proposal thrice before.
Category: Gun Control


Decision: Tighten


Proposed by: International Crap

Description: Guns are nothing but a dangerous and leathel weapon! Why then is it legal in certain countries for a man to walk down the street with a gun in his hand?

Guns do nothing but harm people! There are many people carrying a gun who do not fully-understand the power and the danger of the weapon! As soon as the power is not apprietiated, lives are lost!

In certain areas you can find a gun shop on street corners where you can walk in, purchase a gun, and walk out again, fully-armed! Anybody can get a hold of a gun which is why I propose they are banned!

I do indeed realize that the banning of guns will not end the problem, but it will be a start!
eg, drugs are banned but people still aquire and use them. But lets imagine that these drugs were legal! Eeverybody would have them and the death rate will be catastrophic! The same will happen with the guns! If they are banned the situation will be immensly impsroved untill, eventually, thay are non-existent!

Now it is extremely easy to get hold of a gun! But I never thought that a bank would offer you one! That's right, a ban can offer you a gun to join their bank! Now they will give you the gun as soon as you sign up for the account! They will give it to you over the counter, fully-loaded! That would, of course, allow the bearer to use the gun to brake into a vault!

It's a world that nobody wants, but nobody is willing to change it! Ban the guns for a safer tomorrow!

Resolution: #6


Proposed by: Canada 60 Years Back

Description: UN Resolution #6: End slavery (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Being for or against slavery is very much a personal decision. Though seen as an archaic form of mass labor, it has many merits and is greatly effcient

RECOGNISING: That slaves need basic rights (food, shelter etc) and those MUST be provided

BELEIVING: that NO child under ANY circumstances should be born into slavery, unless he/she commits a crime, then shall be sent back to parent's owner

Many multi-national companies hold their poorly paid employees in far worse conditions than the Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Chinese, or Southern slave owners kept their slaves

Slaves must be purchased from criminals, no regular person shall be sold as a slave

Slave owners MUST NOT hit, torture, or burtally torture their slaves

Individual UN nations may not choose to use this resolution
I like how the last line sort of makes it a little bit illegal.

Hmm, when I read "Legalize Euthanasia", I couldn't wuite find where it's so open to abuse...
And how do you "violate the right to life" of people who are dead?

Actually If I remember correctly right after this was passed there was a nation that was abusing this resolution in such a way that they basically killed off a lot of their population. I wish I could remember the nations name, if anyone can think of it let me know.

Bennefits: Will bring all nations closer to each other through the strive for education. As time and technology progreses we wil be able tyo expand the content of the library and the way of storing and researchig in it
First off, I'd love to see the logic behind this being an envrionmental resolution let alone one which affects uranium mining. Secondly the author apperently can't even spell library.

Proposed by: Nowitzkland

Description: The Death Penalty is wrong and should not be used to hold people in jail for life:
I: Most of our countries and regions are against euthenasia

II: Jail is a place of rebirth, it is there to send you out into the world as a better person.

III. I declare that the maximum sentence in all countries must be 30 years, and this must be only for treason.

IV. 25 Years for First Degree Murder

V. Robbery 10 Years

VI. Children should never get more than 10 years, a child does not have the brain capability to realize what they are doing.

VII. The exception to this rule is rape, all those who rape must have to spend life in prison. No execution or anything, just rot away. Because people they have raped are scared for life.

Please realize the importance of this, and put yourself in this position.
A robbery and your locked up for 30 years, doesnt make sense! Follow me and do the right thing, for all those who are wrongly jailed.Fine all murderer in my nation will now be charged with raping a person of their life and can recieve life inprisonment :rolleyes:

Industry Affected: Automobile Manufacturing


Proposed by: Elanos

Description: The pollution caused by automobiles affects the citizens of every nation in the world. As a result, it is only fair to give a global, rather than national, incentive to reduce automible use.

The revenues from this tax will be used for global environmental efforts, with a focus on repairing the damages caused to the environment by mining and drilling operations.Say it with me everybody, illegal under the resolution "UN taxation ban"

THEREFORE, THIS PROPOSAL HEREBY RENDERS RESOLUTION #91 TO BE NULL, VOID, AND IRRELEVANT IN ALL UN MEMBER NATIONS.

If something is made null, doesn't that imply that it's also void? Further, I think that once something is essentially annihilated, the issue of relevance is effectively made moot.

Actually If I remember correctly right after this was passed there was a nation that was abusing this resolution in such a way that they basically killed off a lot of their population. I wish I could remember the nations name, if anyone can think of it let me know.

Joccia. I know because I participated in the thread and talked with him for a while. I think how he got around the Resolution was the clause allowing someone else to pull the plug (I think the doctor), so his nation simply had about 30,000 people (including prostitutes and homeless people) declared "sick" and euthanized.

Public Nudity Ban

A resolution to restrict civil freedoms in the interest of moral decency.


Category: Moral Decency


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Rajinistan

Description: This is an act to declare a ban on public nudity and its effect on the public. This is a health issue as well as an educational and mental issue. This i ask for on three points of arguments:

-it affects the minds of young children who may witness this action
-it provides an opportunity for people to be unequal
-it opposes the concept of human domination of the planet by copying animalistic behaviour.

I will enjoy seeing any responses and await any comments/complaints.

Approvals: 0

Status: Lacking Support (requires 146 more approvals)

Voting Ends: Mon Feb 28 2005

Just found this little gem. I honestly can't see how nudity affects the "health, education and mental" of the public.

point 1 - How, except to make them more open, aware and tolerant

point 2 - :confused:

point 3 - Humans only started wearing clothes in the caveman days to protect ourselves from the cold. In my opinion, humans don't have the right to "dominate" the planet, and we are just as much animals as any other mammel. Of course this whole point either ignores other sentient species in NS, or does'nt apply to them.

Ah, yes, the days of having quintruple posts...now replaced by the days of "Jolt just ate my message!"
Ah, but the forum was so much prettier.

The absurd pop-ups resolution was my first vote as well, I think. Eco was born just before Xmas.

*gets misty-eyed*

Ah, I remember the good ol' days of Joccia and Collaboration, Berkylvania and Enodia, Lubria and MitsubishiSonyLockheed...

I particularly like the current proposal, he says he wishes to end beaurocratic red tape and delays, and yet he is tieing the governemts down with more of it. the repeal of the education act he is saying is just a formality, resolutions since have essentially covered what that act covered, so what does it matter?

A resolution to legalize or outlaw gambling.
Category: Gambling
Legalize/Outlaw: Legalize
Proposed by: Ariatria

Description: If you don't me then you suck so know me


Now this is just dumb. In the real world you'd have to kick out all the countries which actually matter in the UN - the USA, Russia, France, the UK, China, India, Pakistan, maybe Israel and North Korea too. And North Korea provides endless entertainment value, so no way they should be kicked out.


Weapons Inspections

A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.

Category: Global Disarmament
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Smurfenstein

Description: To maintain world peace, the United Socialist States of Smurfenstein would like to propose a bill that would:
-Have mandatory weapons inspections every five to ten years
-Impose that if a country has nuclear arms, they are forced to leave the UN and/or totally disband their nuclear weapons program
-Require a country to shut down its weapons program if it(the weapons program) comes to harm another nation

This resolution would also help the environment, as radiation emissions would be seriously watched by the UN if this bill gets passed.

Repeal "End slavery"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #6
Proposed by: Greendayia

Description: UN Resolution #6: End slavery (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: If my nation wants to have slaves why can't we? It helps develop economies and it is far from a "scourge".... If I want slaves I don't want the U.N. telling me I can't have them. I have the right to enslave anybody I want it is my nation...

Category: Free Trade
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Khyshaak

Description: Seeing that many nations would benifit from free trade

Further noting that some nations may wish to protect their native industries

1. Calls for all trade barriers between nation in the same region to be reduced

2. Recognizes that if a majority of nations in a given territory vote against this resolution then it shall be null and void for that given region
It wouldn't be silly if it weren't for the fact that it doesn't really call for a specific action, and then violates game mechanics by trying to make it not affect some regions through a voting system.

Resolution: #8
Proposed by: Northern Nukeland

Description: UN Resolution #8: Citizen Rule Required (Category: The Furtherment of Democracy; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: This bill impeads on the sovereignity of all nations. The U.N as a body should not have the power to tell countries how to govern their people. That is a blatant breach of national sovereignity. If all nations had the same government the U.N would be the only government and that is never a good thing. That leans towards a world government new world order kind of thing.
Interesting leap of logic...
Category: Social Justice
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Swift Current

Description: Seeing as there are many impovrished/homeless persons in the world, I believe that all persons who are citizens of any UN nation should have a minimum income of 25,000(national currency) per year. Anyone who makes more than this will not recieve the money, and anyone who has a job that pays less than this amount will have equalization payments made to them to bring them to 25,000, and people with no income should be paid this full amount. A major benefit to this would be the reduction (or perhaps elimination of homeless) and the elimination of social services such as welfare.
Wow...

Category: Political Stability


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Old Imperial Phoenicia

Description: Many nations of the world have grown to a state in which their government's and people stand in a state of disrepair. There are many respectable people in each nation, but the common masses are not fit to rule themselves. This state makes a nation venerable and weak. I propose simple legislation that solve this problem. This legislation is made of up of two simple parts that are both very important to promote and secure a state of stability.

First, CENTRALIZATION OF THE GOVERNMENT; the masses are not fit themselves. The strong, the powerful, the intelligent, and the logical should rule over these these people justly, but properly. WIthout this, a nation may very well be consumed by civil war as different ignorant factions fight for power and rule. It is only natural for the proper government to rule and help its people in a way like a caring mother rules her own sweet little children.

Second, CREATION AND MAINTAINING OF A NATIONAL ARMY, this allows the strong central government to carry out its rule without civil war and other nations interfering. It is very important to have a national army so that a government may maintain a sense of national security. It would also create of rich and varied source of jobs for the people.

I beg of my noble colleagues to look inside of themselves and pass this legislation. For a better nation, for a better region, for a better UN, and for a better World, please pass this legislation.

2. Not only will it stop your nation from becoming a heaven for the fat people you will be able to raise taxes on those who do not cover up the blubber.

3. It will make your nation alot fitter, cleaner and better looking.

Won't someone think of the Children! and their future if they see that being fat is still being accepted by society.

Strength: Mild


Proposed by: Faldawi

Description: It has come to the attention of the populace of Faldawi and thus to its Glorious Government that the people of our lands have no capacity to understand one another. While this in and of itself is difficult to resolve, the capacity for Technology to communicate has lessened to a degree the awful gulf that exists between Nations. However, both our people and our government are plagued with a terrible problem as technology moves forward. The existence of formats and the hellish nightmare that results when attempting to use them, even though the operation of such are entire build upon the same translation of ASCII code, has rendered a gulf between the information of each subsequent software generation, and even the software of separate nations. Clearly, our Nations deserve better!

THUS:

ACKNOWLEDGING Resolutions the Second, Fifth, Twenty-Fourth, Forty-Fifth and Sixtieth, and the effect that conflicting standards have upon these resolutions.Can't you just use numbers like everyone else?

OBSERVING the lack of uniformity among AC/DC adapter plugs, electrical outlets, computer components of all type, plumbing systems, light fixtures, the irregularity between software formats which store the exact same information, the ludicrous assertion that a format could not be easily translated from each new version, the existence of regional codes and ‘copyright’ protections that make any product completely unviable and the international trade that such lack of connectivity creates we…OK, show of hands. Whose nation's plumbing is connected to others nation's plumbing? And how do we get from talking about software to all of a sudden talking about plumbing anyway?

DECLARE that a Connectivity Board of reputable electrical, mechanical, and software engineers from many major nations be created to, during time not devoted to their own business, find a consensus as to the superior format in each area of connectivity. These would include all previous complaints as well as new issues that the Connectivity Board will upon occasion be consulted to verify the need of such regulations. All new methods will be presented to the Board while their owners still retain original rights, and any Universal Standard may be brought to review at any time with a simple petition of twenty citizen signatures. The Connectivity Board will also be granted the power to bring a company who, in any way, may be charged with inhibiting the free flow of a connection, be it software or firmware.

After declaring the Universal Standard, all production throughout the United Nations will be required to use this standard. Corporations who refuse will be allowed to appeal and, if they have a valid reason, can make an exception to the Universal Standard. Any exception will be qualified via the Connectivity Board. The incentives to become universally standard and thus open markets that were previously closed by difficulty of use will be apparent to any logical company, and the pressure from consumers to cater to the Universal Standard will surely wipe away any reservation.

Any corruption that becomes known within the board will be dealt with via the local court system, with a penalty of life-long license revocation. As products are only produced with the Universal Standard, it is clear that all plugs will be phased into use of the Universal Standard as their predecessors reach their life expectancy.

One by one, the old systems will give way to the new.But what about the plumbing, you bring it up and then never mention it again.

I'm rather amused by the "Sudden Terrorist Attack" one. I think if it passed, it would automatically declare a piece of history to suddenly spring into existence. At that point, people could use that piece of history as an example to propose other resolutions.
Actually, I'm not amused by that resolution at all. That's just downright creepy, that is.

Inferior and embryonic countries would gain from cultivating this animal which is far cheaper than keeping cows and once again, produces vast more amounts of milk.

I am asking for this proposal to be passed to allow every country to fabricate hybrids so that lifes can be enhance. T'would also make astonishing and surprising breakthroughs which we cannot disclose at this time due to the risk of a national security breach as this information is not yet legal.

Well...that's an interesting creature. Still, ICly I'd be very doubtful of its existence- I know it's an OOC source, but according to Robert L. Park's "Seven Warning Signs of Bogus Science" (http://chronicle.com/free/v49/i21/21b02001.htm), which I find to be very logically sound and believable, the "Quphant" fails scientific valdiation since it's an "exclusive" find- if it really were the product of science, it wouldn't be exclusive but would be the product of many scientists (plus, no scientific finding should be "confidential").

It's also a badly Photoshopped drawing, but I'll let that slide as I doubt there are many here with Photoshopping skills that good.

PUDNSQ
A resolution to restrict civil freedoms in the interest of moral decency.


Category: Moral Decency
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Lombary-Genoa

Description: Press Unathorized to Divulgate National Security Questions


This resolution prohibits the press to divulgate national security questions in order to preserve the integrity of a nation.

In order to prevent corrupt governments to use the term "national security" to censure in a inadequated way the press, articles will come below to justify when this measure can be applyed.

ARTICLE 1)

Crime investigations details can only be revealed when this one ends.

ARTICLE 2)

When UN inspectors arrive in a contry to check the exhistence of chemycal or biological weapons presence, work rights, children rights, or any of this sort of inspection.

ARTICLE 3)

When a arrestment is to be made (in order to prevent the suspect of escaping)

OBS: THIS CAN ONLY BE APPLYED WHEN THE SUSPECT LOCATION IS CERTAIN, OTHERWISE HIS INDENTITY CAN BE REVEALED

ARTICLE 4)

When government operations (military or policial) are to be made

OBS: FOR THIS ARTICLE TO BE APPLYED, A UN COMITTE MUST BE NOTIFYED AND APROVVE THE ARTICLE APPLICATION

ARTICLE 5)

The presence of an extincted disease virus is located at a country region

OBS: UN MUST BE NOTIFYED
ETERNAL

TO ADD ARTICLES TO THIS RESOLUTION, ANOTHER ONE MUST BE MADE WITH THE NUMBER OF THE RESPECTIVE ARTICLE. THIS WOULD START WITH NUMBER 6 AND GOING AHEAD.

divulgate national security questions

is a divulgate some kind of flood control device? it could be important to national security

Crime investigations details can only be revealed when this one ends

When which one ends? That sentence?

BTW, it took me awhile to figure out how it was meant to read. Too the extent I understand it, the press is supposed to be forbidden from disseminating information in the circumstances set forth in each Article. OBS is an observation about how the Article would work.

When a arrestment is to be made (in order to prevent the suspect of escaping)

OBS: THIS CAN ONLY BE APPLYED WHEN THE SUSPECT LOCATION IS CERTAIN, OTHERWISE HIS INDENTITY CAN BE REVEALED

So when law enforcement wants to arrest (arrestment?) someone the press can't publish that if the police know for certain where hte suspect is. Otherwise, its OK for the press to warn the suspect so he can be sure to stay hidden. :confused:


When government operations (military or policial) are to be made

We definitely do not want the press to cover any political or military operations!!!

Saving the best for last . . .

The presence of an extincted disease virus is located a country region

Whatever an "extincted disease virus" is, we certainly do not want to warn the public about it.

I'm not sure if this is because we don't want people to know a disease is "extincted" because that would hurt pharmaceutical sales or because we want people to just die quietly from the "disease virus."

I love this one you posted Neo-Anarchists

Euthanasia shall be prohibited for God's sake.

God needs our help!! Euthanasia upsets her digestive system!

I guess your right. I just don't feel that it is justified to waste a week voting so that a redudant resolution can be repealed. It just seemed silly to me that to stop it from "taking up un space" it another ammentment repealing it will be added and So in other word if this passed the resolution will take up more "UN space"

Proposed by: Celiaville

Description: The OC is a television show that is brainwashing the minds of the people of not only Celiaville, but many other countries. We propose in removing the OC from television. When the OC is removed from the countries afflicted a number of improvements will occur:

- Literary and Numeracy rates will increase as research has indicated that those who watch the show regularly have suffered from declining literacy and numeracy levels. Removing the show from television will also help increase high school graduation as well, as teenagers are now able to keep up with the curriculum.

- Violence will decrease, as teenage girls will no longer have to fight against each over arguments such as "who is hotter?"

- The economy of the countries afflicted by the OC will improve substantially as people who watch the show will no longer be influenced by the affluent of the OC and bankruptcy will decrease.

- Self esteem will also improve in countries where the OC is viewed as people will no longer have to compare themselves with the likes of Mischa Barton or Ben Mckenzie.

We urge in not just countries where the OC is viewed, but all countries to rally together to prevent this show from spreading around the world.

Who is Reggie White?

Who is Reggie White?

Former US National Football League star, retired and recently deceased. Also, extreme homophobe noted for his inflamatory and racist comments. (Mr. White was black.)

Here is an article giving an example:

Packers' White discusses 'sin' homosexuality in speech

CBS SportsLine wire reports
March 25, 1998

MADISON, Wis. -- Most people invited to speak to the Wisconsin Legislature give five minutes of pleasantries, get a few moments of applause and go home.

Lawmakers weren't expecting the earful Reggie White had in store for them Wednesday.

They thought the Green Bay Packers star and ordained minister came to talk about his community work and a recent trip to Israel.

White did, but his nearly hour-long speech also included remarks on homosexuality, race and slavery that turned the Assembly's applause to stunned silence.

White said the United States has gotten away from God, in part by allowing homosexuality to "run rampant."

Homosexuality is a sin, and the plight of gays and lesbians should not be compared to that of blacks, White told lawmakers.

"Homosexuality is a decision, it's not a race," White said. "People from all different ethnic backgrounds live in this lifestyle. But people from all different ethnic backgrounds also are liars and cheaters and malicious and back-stabbing."

White said he has thought about why God created different races. Each race has certain gifts, he said.

Blacks are gifted at worship and celebration, White said.

"If you go to a black church, you see people jumping up and down because they really get into it," he said.

Whites are good at organization, White said.

"You guys do a good job of building businesses and things of that nature, and you know how to tap into money," he said.

"Hispanics were gifted in family structure, and you can see a Hispanic person, and they can put 20, 30 people in one home."

The Japanese and other Asians are inventive, and "can turn a television into a watch," White said. Indians are gifted in spirituality, he said.

"When you put all of that together, guess what it makes: It forms a complete image of God," White said.

White said later that his comments were about coming together as a society and were not meant to stereotype the races.

"This is the first time I've been at a loss for words," Assembly Minority Leader Walter Kunicki, D-Milwaukee, said after White's speech. "You can still tell from the tension in the room that much of this was offensive."

White was invited to speak by Assembly Speaker Scott Jensen, R-Waukesha.

Jensen called White's comments about homosexuality "disappointing." Homosexuality is a genetic predisposition, not a decision, Jensen said.

Rep. Tammy Baldwin, a Madison Democrat and the Legislature's only openly gay member, said she disagreed with White's remarks, but as a lawmaker believed in putting aside personal feelings to promote a "healthy debate."

CBS SPORTS spokeswoman Leslie Ann Wade declined to comment on White's speech or whether his remarks would affect his chances for a studio analyst's job. White has auditioned for a commentating job at the network.

CBS fired football analyst Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder in 1988 for saying that blacks had been "bred from slavery" to make better athletes.

"CBS doesn't accept bias from any of its announcers of any kind," Wade said.

White declined to comment on whether he will leave the Packers before the 1998 season.


So, the NS UN should definitely do whatever Reggie White would have wanted!!

Argument: No one can predict when will die. If someone is suffering a lot and the probability of death is high, euthanasia is not to be applyed.
Medicine today is making a lot of progress. Perhaps many of this "high probable deaths" could be avoided with this progress as new medications, ilness causes, cures and treatments are discovered.
If someone is suffering a lot, you are suppose to give this person pain medication, you are not suppose to kill this person.
Death is supposed to be NATURAL!
If a nation government thinks differently it has the righ to legalize euthanasia but it is not suppose to be apllyed to all countries as a UN law.

Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Old Imperial Phoenicia

Description: Many nations of the world have grown to a state in which their government's and people stand in a state of disrepair. There are many respectable people in each nation, but the common masses are not fit to rule themselves. This state makes a nation venerable and weak. I propose simple legislation that solve this problem. This legislation is made of up of two simple parts that are both very important to promote and secure a state of stability.

First, CENTRALIZATION OF THE GOVERNMENT; the masses are not fit themselves. The strong, the powerful, the intelligent, and the logical should rule over these these people justly, but properly. WIthout this, a nation may very well be consumed by civil war as different ignorant factions fight for power and rule. It is only natural for the proper government to rule and help its people in a way like a caring mother rules her own sweet little children.

Second, CREATION AND MAINTAINING OF A NATIONAL ARMY, this allows the strong central government to carry out its rule without civil war and other nations interfering. It is very important to have a national army so that a government may maintain a sense of national security. It would also create of rich and varied source of jobs for the people.

I beg of my noble colleagues to look inside of themselves and pass this legislation. For a better nation, for a better region, for a better UN, and for a better World, please pass this legislation.

Healthcare and taking care of the less fortunate should be left for the private sector. If soneone believes strongly enough in helping someone, let them use thier resources, not the resources of others. Social welfare is stealing with the threat of violence (jail time).

Description: The Nations Of Sprayen Dog propose, after much debate and delegation with its subordinate nations,

That:

Every man and woman:

1. Unless other conditions hamper, consume at least their daily portion of carrots (Vitamin A) as recommended by the delegation of nutritionalists from Sprayen Dog and other regions, as being 4 15g servings per day so as to improve and keep healthy the continually declining vision issues in the world today. If the resolution is passed, the home government of every worldwide nation shall provide the carrots to the citizens to meet the basic need, mentioned earlier as 4 15g servings. If the citizen should so desire to consume more than the provided amount, they may do so at their own expense.

2. Over the country’s age of majority is allowed to take a test regarding the ownership of firearms. The test would include a responsibility agreement that would state that if the person were to ever possess a firearm, they would only utilize the firearm to the extent of the country’s laws concerning firearms whether they would be used for self-protection, murder or hunting. If the applicant has passed the test with over 92%, the applicant shall receive for their personal use, to the extent of the laws, a .22 gauge rifle.

3. Would have basic, easily accessible health care and medication if their condition is 100% critical, and their HMO or health care plan does not provide the necessary basic medication to heal their condition. The hospital time would be paid by the government, as would the bed and doctor fees. Food required while in hospital would be provided at the patient’s expense.

This article allows a person to kill themselves! This resolution is cruel and inhumane, it is the natural instict of a human to survive and press on.

Description: So we got to the Moon.
We are capable of going further.
Why haven’t we?

This planet is getting increasingly crowded every year.
If we went back to the Moon we could set up governmental research stations to research terraforming, which would then help us reach Mars.
And when we get to Mars we build the Solar System’s first terraforming station and in a couple of years Bob’s your uncle we have another 144,800,000 km2 (144.8million km2) of land to use.

In agreeing this resolution:
• Your nation must use at least 3% of all tax collected to reach the Moon once more and then on to Mars.
• Your nation also must send people – not robots – to the Moon and Mars.
• The Moon and Mars will be divided up on a first come first serve basis so that the more eager nations will get better areas of land.
• At least a quarter of the entire population or your nation must be sent to the Moon and/or Mars within the century. This will make Earth a nicer place to live and improve the current problem of pollution.


Of course as time energy and money is being spent on this project many businesses will suffer but new businesses will pop up all over the place once people are spread out over 1,564,000,000 km2 (1.564 billion km2) of the galaxy.

Description: The OC is a television show that is brainwashing the minds of the people of not only Celiaville, but many other countries. We propose in removing the OC from television. When the OC is removed from the countries afflicted a number of improvements will occur:

- Literary and Numeracy rates will increase as research has indicated that those who watch the show regularly have suffered from declining literacy and numeracy levels. Removing the show from television will also help increase high school graduation as well, as teenagers are now able to keep up with the curriculum.

- Violence will decrease, as teenage girls will no longer have to fight against each over arguments such as "who is hotter?"

- The economy of the countries afflicted by the OC will improve substantially as people who watch the show will no longer be influenced by the affluent of the OC and bankruptcy will decrease.

- Self esteem will also improve in countries where the OC is viewed as people will no longer have to compare themselves with the likes of Mischa Barton or Ben Mckenzie.

We urge in not just countries where the OC is viewed, but all countries to rally together to prevent this show from spreading around the world.

For too long have small, defenceless nations been left exposed to the horrors of unending wars and horrendous battles, with genocide and ethnic cleansing in one region and nuclear war in others, it is time we learned to solve our problems using words, not hands.

1. PROPOSES that a NationStates-wide cease-fire should be implemented for a ten-year period to help war-torn countries rebuild their ageing and corrupt infrastructure.

2. SUGGESTS that ALL weapons should be banned in order to keep the cease-fire.

3. EXPECTS all military training in ALL countries to cease, in the interests of promoting global peace
NB: this does not extend to national police forces, as the Dominion of Little India and the Allied Imperial States of New Italy realises that it would be impossible to run a country with no police force.

4. REQUIRES a consul from each nation and an ambassador from each region (can be the UN delegate) to meet once every six months at the UN headquarters to monitor the cease-fire's progress.

Proposed by: Gyrotopia

Description: It's quite simple. We ban the use of gasoline in cars forcing people to use electric cars. Therefore eliminating the need to purchase millions of gallons of gasoline we all pay. It also helps the environment by eliminating car polution. A drastic change to electric cars may shock the economy so we introduce it slowly limiting the amount of oil sold per year. People will be forced to adapt and buy electric cars. With less oil per year we limit the amount of gas you can purchase a year as well. Each citizen will have to scan in in order to purchase oil. The purchase will be recorded and you will be told how much oil you have left. This also limits driving time forcing people to use public transportation and airplanes more often again helping the economy grow and prosper. It's voluntary so you don't have to ban oil if you don't want to.
It was odd to begin with, but the last sentence is really the clincher.

Proposed by: Kevin Islands

Description: A reSolution to eliminate the burdens and costs associated with electronic mail spam by prohibiting the transmission of all unsolicited commercial electronic mail to persons who place their electronic mail addresses on a national No-Spam Registry, and to prevent fraud and deception in commercial electronic mail by imposing requirements on the content of all commercial electronic mail messages.

Be it enacted by the United Nations:

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Resolution may be cited as the `SPAM Resolution'.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Empire of Kevin Islands finds the following:

(1) Electronic mail is an increasingly valuable tool for personal and commercial communication. Unsolicited commercial electronic mail (UCE), commonly known as spam , however, has become an impediment to efficient electronic mail use and creates problems for all types of users and organizations, including Internet Service Providers, individual users, and corporate organizations.

(2) UCE often contains objectionable, fraudulent, and offensive content. The Empire of Kevin Islands reports that over 60 percent of all UCE contains false, misleading, or deceptive information. Nearly one-fourth contains sexually explicit imagery. Parents have little ability to prevent these images from reaching their child's electronic mail in-box.

(3) Consumers increasingly ignore or delete legitimate commercial messages as they face an ever increasing amount of UCE. If the vitality and force of the Internet and electronic mail are to be preserved as a tool for commercial communication, UCE must be curbed.

(4) UCE is also a severe financial concern. Lost productivity, increased spending on technology systems and personnel, and personal frustration are some of the costs associated with UCE.

(5) Despite the increasing deployment of anti-spam services and technology, the number and size of spam messages are growing faster than ever. In 1999, the average electronic mail user received just 40 pieces of UCE per year. In 2003, the number is expected to pass 2,500. Experts estimate as much as 70 percent of electronic mail traffic qualifies as UCE.

(6) Existing anti-spam service solutions alone are insufficient to stop the growth of spam . Despite the fact that Internet Service Providers spend millions of dollars each year on research, filtering and other anti-spam software, and larger servers to deal with the ever expanding volume of UCE, current technology alone cannot control the spam problem.

(7) Laws does not specifically address UCE and leaves law enforcers and consumers with inadequate redress for the problem.

SEC. 3. PURPOSES.

The purposes of this Resolution are to--

(1) preserve electronic mail as a vital tool in interstate commerce by--

(A) reducing the costs associated with UCE;

(B) reducing the amount of UCE; and

(C) eliminating false, misleading, and deceptive content in all commercial electronic mail; and

(2) give consumers control over their in-boxes.

It might be nice if you actually had the resolution address the issue, might it?
:confused:

Wow.

That's simply amazing.

A piece of spam about spam.

It's one of the longest proposals I've ever seen that doesn't actually say anything.

Description: The adding of war to the game. First you declare war on a country. There is no backing out unless you want to take the ban from the region. You then inform your UN delegate and the other nations delegate if you're from different regions. The opposite (if there is an opposite) delegate gives you 4 numbers between 1-20. The object is to guess your opponents 4 numbers. You then telegram your delegate with guesses. You take turns. If you lose you are banned from your region. If a delegate attacks or is attacked a UN member agreed on by both parties is chosen. If a delegate loses he must leave the nation. You may have one ally who will recieve 2 numbers. He can help guess but if he loses e is not effected. I think instating war will not only bring more members in, but add a little fun to the game.

Proposed by: Jimbob the Jingoistic

Description: Everyone knows that people are at their most vunerable late at night, especially women who are walking along the streets alone.

In order to combat crime that takes place at night, I propose a curfew for all people, with the obvious exception of police, who would enforce that everyone observed it, and arrest anyone who was seen out of their houses after a certain time.

The time for the curfew would have to vary according to the month - for winter and autumnal months, the time would be earlier as the daylight hours are less.

This may seem unreasonable, but it is an important step in combatting crime. Nor would it put an end to parties and people having fun. In order that this may be implemented successfully, we would have to make it so that the curfew only affected people who were walking the streets at night. Travelling by any other mode than by foot would be acceptable, and hence allowed.

But we must put a stop to people walking around at night alone or even with a group of friends. Peoples lives depend on it.
Well, some criminals have cars. Oops! There goes you idea.

Resolution: #81
Proposed by: SteelerWorld

Description: UN Resolution #81: Definition of Marriage (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The UN HEREBY :

DEFINES marriage as the civil joining of a member of any nation with any other member of any nation, regardless of race, religion, color, or any other characteristic, with the exception of age; Gay marriages would be banned under this.

RECOGNIZES age of the individual(s) as a just reason for not recognizing marriage, as per Article One of the Child Protection Act;

This would keep the old version the same with the exception of banning gay marriage.
Gah, this SteelerWorld chap again.

If it did, I'd have to support Jeianga's Animal Rights proposals.

Description: Before the warring factions appeared a stranger, dressed in magnificent robes, with a staff with an end of shining light. All fighting ground to a halt as all eyes looked to the stranger.
The strange man explained that this senseless war must end. This killing needlessly, this backstabbing, these countless battles where nothing is gained, the land is scarred and millions die.
We must unite. Together, we must combine our strengths to make up for our weaknesses. With our people truly cooperating, there will be no obstacle our tehnology can overcome, no quandry our science can't resolve. We must all work for the Greater Good.
But then we must go further. Slowly, and then faster, our empire shall expand, creeping further into the galaxy. Worlds shall be colonized, and the stars themselves shall be reforged in the cause of the greater good.
Together, we shall advance. Together, we shall bring unity to the entire universe.
That would be an okay RP. That doesn't mean it's a good proposal though.
:p
By the way, what's this "paving of the greater good"? Are we going to turn it into a parking lot or something?

Description: Recognizing the increasing number of irresponsible corporate practices in food industries, especially fast food.

This resolution tries to put an end to unethical corporate practices in the fast food industry and help end obesity.

How it works:

Buisnesses shall no longer allowed to blatantly target groups under the age of 18 in marketing schemes trying to sell products related to fast food.

Requires every fast food eatery to post nutritional information and warnings near the cash register. It must also be able to be seen.

Requires government schools to provide healthier foods and promote healthier eating practices and exercise.
This resolution isn't particularly stupid or anything. What confounds me is, why in the name of the Goddess was it labelled a strong Human Rights proposal?
:confused:

Does the Microsoft Intellicap even exist?
If it does, it'll crash every 5 minutes and require weekly security updates.:D

Anyway on the the proposed sillyness.
