Repeal "Freedom of Humor"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal | Resolution: #36 (http://www.nationstates.net/-1/page=UN_past_resolutions/start=35) | Proposed by: Adolf Barham (http://www.nationstates.net/-1/page=display_nation/nation=adolf_barham)

Description: UN Resolution #36: Freedom of Humor (http://www.nationstates.net/-1/page=UN_past_resolutions/start=35) (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: UNDERSTANDING that humour is not merely a pathway towards increased happiness. Humour can be hurtful to groups or individuals even if this effect wasn't intended.

TELLING all UN nations that it would be hard to deem whether or not the racial humour or sexist humour was intended and therefore you could not decide whether the person was purposely being nasty or it was an accident.

URGING UN nations to not allow total freedom of humour and that people should be serious when away from their family or friends to prevent unintentional mental bullying of a person or group via a 'joke'.

UNDERSTANDING that humour is a right to all sentient beings, but realising that humour must only be used in certain circumstances:

i. With your family
ii. With your friends
iii. Comedians for entertainment as long as the public are warned about the type of humour incase it may offend anyone.
iv. ALLOWING any person to make a joke out of themselves as long as they know that it wouldn't hurt anyone else.

This repeal furthers democracy by making sure that everyone in a nation can live in peace without being worried that someone could offend them with a joke.

CREATES the HCG (Humour Control Group) where someone could report abusive humour if they wish. The person who broke the restricted freedom of humour would face at most a fine, which could be chosen by the HCG.

REPEALING UN resolution 36 to further democracy and create a more peaceful society.

Strength: Strong
Proposed by: New Elzvius

Description: In order to insure freedom, peace, and security for all those in the world we have no choice but the create and maintain a permeant peace keeping force. We must authorize the creation of a UN military force that is independent of the armed forces within the individual nations that comprise this great body. Also to help facilitate the measure a UN Sec. of Defense office shall be created.

Purpose: The UNLF (United Nations Liberation Force) shall be created, funded, and maintained the UN and shall be under the direct command of the Sec. General. The Sec. General shall serve as the Commander and Chief of the UNLF. The UNLF shall be a peacekeeping force that is deployed in the event tat requires UN military action. Such actions shall be defines by the Sec.General and Approval shall be granted by the General assembly.

Restrictions: No military action can be taken without the majority approval of the General Assembly with at least a quorum of 25% of nations present. The Sec. General shall not be given executive power over the military command. If there is no majority in the Assembly the only way for the Sec.General to deploy troops is the receive a unanimous approval for action by the UN Security Council. If the Sec. General fails to receive a majority of votes in the Assembly or a unanimous decision from the Security Council than no action shall be taken.

Section 1 : UN. Sec of Defense office: This position shall have the following duties create a projected budget for the UNLF, generate promotion list for the Sec. General, establish ranking system for Assembly approval, monitor all UNLF engagements and make progress reports to the Sec. General and the General Assembly of the Sec. Generals behalf.

Section 2: The office of UN Sec. of Defense shall be appointed by the Sec. General upon the approval of a majority of UN assembly members with a quorum of no less than 25% and shall serve at the graces of the Sec. General.

Section 4 Salary: A Special committee shall be created in order to determine the average income of each solider based on rank, skill, and other factors. This committee shall meet as required in order to make adjustments as needed.

Section 5: Committee shall be chosen using current delegate selection methods.

Section 6 Funding: In order to fund the UNLF the UN must be given the right to tax trade of international trade routes. Since the UN is an international organization this is within our rights to due. Each nation within our assembly will pay a tax of no more than 5 % and no less than 1 of what there annual GDP is based on goods traded. This will also make trade on the sea safer as there will now be a UN presence and the exchange fair for smaller countries.This one has so many illegal parts I don't know where to start.

Category: Human Rights

Description: Definition of prostitute implicit in this proposal:
A human being that has chosen by their own free will to earn money by providing sexual services to a paying costumer.

We must acknowledge that:
-Every women and man shall be able to do whatever they want with their own bodies;
-Prostitution will still exist even thought its illegal, the major difference being that illegal prostitutes will not be protected by the law and can be submited to inhumane treatments such as human trafficking, sexual abuse and other deprivation of human rights;

The goal of this proposal is to enforce laws in evey UN Country to:
-Acknowledge prostitution as a legal tax-paying job;
-Impose taxes to incomes comming from prostitution;
-Protect prostitutes in their work from dangers such as violent moralistic groups;
-Any other rules that might be necessary;It's been done, and undone, and redone, and will probably be re-undone at some point.

Category: Free Trade
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Malihople

Description: Recognizing that some nations but not all wish to invest in others for the former's benefit, this resolution is proposed to institute a global stock and bond market to facilitate these actions.

The market will be open at all times that member states deem nessessary for the preservation of free trade.

This new organization shall be governed by certain rules and restrictions to perserve free trade:

1. Any nation that wishes to join and list securities and/or debt may do so with the approval of a majority of member nations.

2. Any nation that does join the market must be willing to put its currency on the free market and help domestic companies list its securities.

3. No nation shall violate the rules of free trade.

4. Any resolutions are ammendments to the original rules of the market may be made with the consent of the majority of member nations.

5. All violations of the rules of free trade by member nations will be prosecuted by an impartial court with 15 justices, selected in the manner that member states wish.With reguards to clause 4, I doubt the mods will agree to that.

Category: The Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Umora

Description: "Women quotas in Politics"

A proposal to increase the number of women in national goverments and government-similar
organisations.

Argument:

NOTING that the United Nations has undertook large efforts to improve equal rights and equalization to minorities and socially disadvantaged groups of all kinds.

HOWEVER a no longer acceptable unfairness prevails forwards within a special range.

IT IS FACT that more than half of the world population is consisting of women, but the large majority of the political decision makers are still men and not women.

THEREFORE it is no longer up-to-date, that progressive and deeply democratic nations, as there are all members of the United Nations, still bear such medieval seeming conditions in their political systems.

FOR THIS REASON we endorse the introduction of a minimum women quota for the number of women in the individual national parliaments and the occupation of political offices in their homelands.

The UN:

1. ADVISES all member nations to introduce minimum women quotas in their laws, which guarantee a larger influence on the political decision-making processes in their homelands.

2. WANTS to reach thereby, that the number of woman in the policy on all levels corresponds to the population of world.

3. DECLARES that all members of the United Nations have to embody following proportional woman quotas in their legislation:

- Min. 30% of all cabinet members must consist of women.

- Min. 25% of all members of national parliaments or equal govermental organisations have to be women.

- With same suitability for a political office a woman has to be preferred to a man until the women quota is fulfilled.


4. MANDATES a timeline for implementation not exceeding two years in length.

5. ESTABLISHES exceptions of the quota regulation:

- If the number of women who are available for a political office is too small, all the same why, the quota may be also fallen below.

- But as soon as a suitable woman is available, she has to be nominate immediately for a political office to fulfill the new quota law. And what about those nations that believe that quotas/affirmative action is actually a form of reverse descrimination?

You're not the only one who liked it, I actually approved it.:D

Outstanding! If I were a delegate, I'd have done the same. :D

iSn't this the 3 illegal Res The Supior country has put up in the past 2 days :confused:

iSn't this the 3 illegal Res The Supior country has put up in the past 2 days :confused:

I sense a disturbance in the Force. Yes, it's the sound of millions of residents of the Supior Country crying out as they are booted from the UN.

Sometimes when the three chances are burned in such quick succession, they'll give two strikes so that the person gets a chance to smarten up.

Not always - if a person submits 20 bad proposals, you can bet that by the time the moderator has gone through the frustration of deleting them all, he's not feeling too charitable.

Category: International Security
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Nicktenstien

Description: The time has come that people should begin to think of the security of nations and the UN. With all the wars and other conflicts going on in the world we should have a UN Security Force or UNSF that protects the UN and other nations to protect the people. The Proposal is that we need to stabilize a UNSF to protect and further "investments" for nations. This is not a global army but just a protection force for nations the UN. Any real "military" control will fall under the rule of the nation in which that military resides. So the UNSF is used for protection not brute force against other nations."This is not a global army but just a protection force for nations the UN." I bet that's not how the mods will see it.

Resolution: #43
Proposed by: Adolf Barham

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

Argument: PROPOSING to repeal resolution 43 and replacing it.

ALLOWING the governments of every UN nation to have some choice over their laws for all the different types of Euthanasia.

Euthanasia must involve 2 people making the decision and the decision must be in the best interest of the person dying.

MANDATING that all governments of UN member nations must choose whether to make 5 types of Euthanasia legal or illegal.

PROPOSING that Euthanasia type number 5 is made illegal in all UN member nation countries as doctors should not be allowed to deny a patient treatment.


1.ACTIVE VOLUNTARY EUTHANASIA - This is where a person is requesting to die and an action is taken to end the person's life. The person's reason for their own death must be in their best interest such as an incurable illness where they are in sane mind.

2.ACTIVE INVOLUNTARY EUTHANASIA - This is where a person does not request death, but others see it in their best interest to die, so an action is taken to end their life. For example, a doctor may know that a patient's illness will get far worse and cause them harm, so would kill them in their best interest.

3.ACTIVE NON-VOLUNTARY EUTHANASIA - This is where the person is incapable of deciding, so an action is taken by others to kill them. This may be because they are baby or are in a coma.

4.PASSIVE VOLUNTARY EUTHANASIA - This is where a person with an illness requests to die naturally, by refusing treatment.

5.PASSIVE INVOLUNTARY EUTHANASIA - This is where a person does not request death, but doctors see it in their best interest to die, so refuse to give the patient treatment. (This situation is unlikely, but possible).

6.PASSIVE NON-VOLUNTARY EUTHANASIA - This is where a person who is incapable of deciding is left to die naturally. Again this may be where someone is in a coma or is a baby.

UNDERSTANDING that turning a life support machine is NOT seen as active euthanasia, but is passive euthanasia.Illegal, repeals cannot introduce new legislation.

Description: This resolution if passed would mandate that within 2 years, all nations research and mass produce cars that can run on air, and need very little oil to run on.

Also included in this resolution within that 2 years, combustion engine automobiles would be strongly reduced with strong vehicle emissions standards, and would require that SUV's and trucks run no less than 30 MPG. Cars with a weight limit under 2000 pounds would be required to run no less than 40 MPG.

With global warming and peak oil becoming even more evident, this resolution would help curb oil use, as well as help the enviroment.Where's that bad science card? You know, the one with the catgirls.

Where's that bad science card? You know, the one with the catgirls.
Most cars do in fact run on air. Not the ones with treads, of course, or those with liquid-filled tires.

Bad science, BAH!

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f235/HoratioSulla/catgirl3.jpg

For the love of ... please don't show this to my pregnant Were-rat scientific assistant Hisvet (who is currently pregnant with were-penguins ... don't ask). If she even thought she could kill cat-girls by using "bad science" she would be spouting it left and right twenty four hours a day and seven days a week.

Actually it's quite easy to create a car that "runs on air."
Step 1: Take a plant. Plant takes CO2 from air and makes organic compounds from it.
Step 2: Turn organic compounds into ethanol (it's not oil right?).
Step 3: Put ethanol in car and burn ethanol.


Still, it's quite silly as written.

A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.

Category: International Security
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: New Elzvius


Description: In order to insure freedom, peace, and security for all those in the world we have no choice but to create and maintain a permanent peace keeping force. We must authorize the creation of a UN military force that is independent of the armed forces within the individual nations that comprise this great body. Also to help facilitate the measure a UN Sec. of Defense office shall be created.

Purpose: The UNLF(United Nations Liberation Force) shall be created, funded, and maintained by the UN and shall be under the direct command of the Sec. General. The Sec. General shall serve as the Commander and Chief of the UNLF. The UNLF shall be a peacekeeping force that is deployed in the event that requires UN military action. The Sec.General shall define such actions and Approval shall be granted by the General assembly.

Restrictions: No military action can be taken without the majority approval of the General Assembly with at least a quorum of 25% of nations present. The Sec. General shall not be given executive power over the military command. If there is no majority in the Assembly the only way for the Sec.General to deploy troops is the receive a unanimous approval for action by the UN Security Council. If the Sec. General fails to receive a majority of votes in the Assembly or a unanimous decision from the Security Council than no action shall be taken.

Section 1 : UN. Sec. of Defense office: This position shall have the following duties create a projected budget for the UNLF, generate promotion list for the Sec. General, establish ranking system for Assembly approval, monitor all UNLF engagements and make progress reports to the Sec. General and the General Assembly of the Sec. Generals behalf.

Section 2: The office of UN Sec. of Defense shall be appointed by the Sec. General upon the approval of a majority of UN assembly members with a quorum of no less than 25% and shall serve at the graces of the Sec. General.

Section 3 Promotions: The UN Sec. of Defense shall generate promotion list based on the recommendations of filed commanders. This list shall be sent to a special committee of Assembly members for approval, and shall become effective after being signed by the UN Sec. General.

Section 4 Salary: A Special committee shall be created in order to determine the average income of each solider based on rank, skill, and other factors. This committee shall meet as required in order to make adjustments as needed.

Section 5: Committee shall be chosen using current delegate selection methods.

Section 6 Funding: In order to fund the UNLF the UN must be given the right to tax trade of international trade routes. Since the UN is an international organization this is within our rights to due. Each nation within our assembly will pay a tax of no less than 5% and no more than 10 of what there annual GDP is based on goods traded. This will also make trade on the sea safer as there will now be a UN presence.
Some people just can't get over the lack of a UN army. Also, this one wants to screw with game mechanics!


A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution
Category: Repeal
Resolution: #43
Proposed by: Prasin
Description: UN Resolution #43: Legalise Euthanasia (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: I understand and acknowledge that some people may want to die with dignity.

Let's take this case:
Jane Doe was paralyzed in a car accident one day and taken to the hospital. The docter said that she could react in a very limited way to her environment, but she will never be mobile again. John Doe, Jane Doe's husband, says that Jane would have wanted to die with dignity and ordered the removal of her feeding tubes. Jane Doe died days later. NB: this story is not true, however, lots of stories like it are

Not all people behave in the way that John Doe did. However, some individuals may take advantage of this type of situation for monetary gain. Also, some close ones may order the death of their loved ones who actually can think and see just like other human beings. When in doubt about whether someone is truely braindead or not, we should always take measures to preserve their life. These people have a right to live and see their loved ones for the last few years of their life.

EXCEPTIONS:
> If the person EXPLICITLY states in writing that they wish to be euthanized should they be put in a situation like that of Jane Doe's. A close relative DOES NOT have the authority to euthanize a loved one.

Therefore, I repeal UN Resolutin #43.
It's nice that you repeal Resolutin 43, but what about the rest of us. Oh, and apparently the best way to repeal an essay resolution is with another essay...

Proposed by: Plospossia

Description: This resolution is to allow UN members to pass resolutions to identify rogue nations, which once done will automatically hand over the UN members the authority to blast them with Radon particle bombs which will temporarily for a specified period render all citizens of the rogue nation infertile. Thus impeding the rogue nation's progress in all areas. The bomb can be configured to work from a few days to many years.

Those later resolutions would have to name the individual nations targeted, which is against the rules... and their reliance on this proposal still being in force would arguably make them illegal on HoC grounds too.

If such a nation happens to be a UN member itself then it will be expelled from the UN

Illegal.

and then rendered infertile.

To determine the period of neutering another resolution will have to be passed.

Which would again be illegal on two grounds, for targeting specific nations and HoC...
And just how much of the UN's time is suppposed to be dedicated to this process, anyway?

The new strides in quantum physics and nano-technology made this bomb possible in the Republic of Plospossia

Illegal for branding... and anyway, who's to say that those weapons would work as specified in any realities other than the Plopossian one?

and will be kept in UN missile silos.
Illegal, because resolutions aren't allowed to give the UN any armed forces.

Any progress in this technology will be a UN intellectual/physical property.

Finally, a possibly-legal clause... ;)


I suppose they got the Category right, and there are no RL references involved, but did they miss any of the other possible criteria for illegality?!?

Description: This resolution is to allow UN members to pass resolutions to identify rogue nations...

Could've been worse. Could've been trying to identify rouge nations. :p

Sometimes, I consider writing a resolution that would reaffirm that the UN cannot have an army. Then, I realize that it wouldn't stem the tide of UN army resolutions, seeing as how so many resolutions ignore the fact that they contradict earlier ones...

did they miss any of the other possible criteria for illegality?!?

Argument: Read the Article 1 -- "All human beings have the right to choose worship any faith, and to change their religious beliefs at any time without punishment on the part of the state. "

There is no god. Religions are maintained only for supporting the cartels of the churches by donating them money that the churches could use it for it's secret causes. The faith and moral things are only a facade, plus 1/5 of the people of the world are atheists ( in UN - 1/4).This has got to be one of the dopiest reason for a repeal I've ever heard, besides even if 20-25% of the world doesn't believe in God, why should they get to overrule the majority?

Interesting title on that last one...

Unless SALT is supposed to stand for something...
Stone Aquisition Limitation Treaty.

It was first proposed by Ogg, brother of slain caveman warrior Ugugh, back in 10760 BC. It was highly successful, and fully outlawed the use of large rocks as weapons. Unfortunately, a year later he was killed in a tragic spear-chucking accident.

This spurred his son, Org, to create SALT II, the Spear Aquisition Limitation Treaty. This too worked very well, banning all sorts of spears (as well as pointy sticks). Unfortunately, less than a year later, he was mauled to death by a sabre-toothed cat.

Needless to say, his wife, Ugi, proposed SALT III. The Sabre-toothed cat Annihilation unLimitation Treaty (cavemen had a hard time with acronyms). This lead to the legalization of spears, pointy sticks, and large rocks, for Sabre-toothed cat hunting purposes. She was later killed by a strange series of events wherein a Sabre-toothed cat stabbed her with a spear while a large rock fell on them, breaking her pointy stick.

At that point, the tribe came up with SCREW IT, which didn't actually stand for anything, but nicely represented their view of the whole silly chapter.

Category: Advancement of Industry
Area of Effect: Tort Reform
Proposed by: Researching

Description: Noting with deep enthusiasm that the U.N. is loved and respected by people of all nations, creeds, religious denominations (et cetera)

Recognizing with slightly deeper enthusiasm that the research of The Community of Researching indicates that these people across the world are excited about the U.N. to the point that they want to get a piece of the U.N. for themselves.

Pointing out with grace concern that the niche for U.N. products is not being met fast enough for individuals to have U.N. goods at reasonable prices or large enough quantities.

Let it be resolved:

That a factory shall be established in every willing country. These factories will produce: "BRAND NEW! SUPER AWESOME KOFI ANNAN SECRETARY-GENERAL OF THE UNITED NATIONS ACTION FIGURE! SAYS 10 COOL THINGS! "You're out of order! Out of order! Everyone!" Including gabble!"

This shall increase interest among the youth of the world in the U.N. and in turn will produce more and more qualified politically active members within communities across the world.

The factory will stimulate economic progress in the nation it is opened in, for we expect enormous profits from this venture, considering the deep interest in the U.N.

Furthermore, the factory will create jobs, and since it will be established and monitored by the U.N. the working conditions will be established with humane ideas and practices in mind.

5% of the proceeds will go to the U.N. the rest will go to the nation, the workers, et cetera.

To economic problem with opening up factories in possibly thousands of nations is negligible, considering yet again, the huge response our research indicates the U.N. will become virtually an infinite bag'o'money, and all the world's problems will be solved.Could you image if this one weren't branded, didn't have the RL reference, and in the right category?

House Bill #1992
A BILL
TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT What the hell, this wouldn't even be resolution #1992 unless it were to pass several years from now.

To ban any form of hunting except on animal overpopulation. So if you nation has a problem with animals attacking your citizens your just SOL.

PURPOSE: To reduce violence and the urge to kill living things. Unless you're an animal, then you've got free reign.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF NATIONSTATES NationStates has a legislature?
Section 1: Hunting refers to any sport which kills animals- such as fishing. Man 1: Hey Joe, where are you going with that fishing pole?
Joe: I'm going hunting.
Section 2: It is unlawful to hunt unless on a federal or state declaration of an overpopulation of a certain animal. Then one-month hunting licenses of that certain animal will be available. Would one be considered an overpopulation?
Section 3: 1. Any violation of this law shall lead to a fine of minimum $1,000,000 and a maximum of $10,000,000. If an infringement upon this law is very great, the punishment may be banishment to the Asian country of Azerbaijan. There you will be required to live twelve (12) years in the prison of a USA army base that will be created on the implementation of this law. And we're illegal again, this time due to the use of RL references.
3.2 If one is caught for illegal hunting, licenses shall not be given to that person again, even on overpopulations. If they were hunting illegally, wouldn't that mean that they didn't have a license to begin with?
3.3 If a person is caught twice for illegal hunting, the fine shall be $50,000,000.
3.4 On a third violation of this law, a person shall be revoked of their United States Citizenship, and shall be banished to Vatican City where they shall be required to be disciplined by the current pope. The violator will then live in a monastery for the rest of his or her life. What about those people who break this law who don't have US citizenship. And more RL references are used
Section 4: Purpose of enforcement:
4.1 Section 3.4 is not a form of Cruel and Unusual punishment, rather a form of getting this message through: You take an animals life away, we’ll make you wish that we took your life away. I wouldn't say that, I've never heard of anyone being punished by sending them to the Vatican to be punished by the Pope, which I believe would make that punishment unusual.
4.2 Laws with little enforcement are frequently broken. For the purpose of this bill, here is an example:
If the government made a law that if you sped 4 mph more then the speed limit, you will live the rest of your life in prison, everybody would drive at the speed limit or even less. With a strong enforcement, this law shall hardly ever be broken. Doesn't matter, this one will never see the light of day anyway.
Section 5: All laws or parts of laws in conflict with this bill are hereby repealed. I'm sorry, but repeals require the use of the repeal function, but thanks for playing.
[quote=Say No To Hunting]Section 6: This bill will become a law immediately after it is approved by the UN members or upon its otherwise becoming a law.You mean there's more than one way for the UN to make laws?:eek:

Someone want to check for plagurism?

Could you image if this one weren't branded, didn't have the RL reference, and in the right category? Think about it, toys based on our characters, kind of a scary thought.
1.Since when does Kofi Annan have a gavel?
2. I'd be slightly wary of the Aram Koopman one. Might set fires every now and then. As for the 'Gurgle from Darstardly Stench' action dragon, might need regular washing.

A Judge should be able to sentence a prisoner to a life in slavery instead of the death penalty in order to support the very society which said criminal has violated.

More power to the People!

A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.


Category: The Furtherment of Democracy


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Immortallia

Description: I understand views that "freedom" is an essential part of our lives today but i believe in another type of freedom; the freedom of the population to govern itself as a whole! Not as individuals!

Recognizing- that people need to be "free" but sometimes they can make bad choices about their lives, this is because a minority of our populations are undereducated might not have the personal awareness needed to make the correct choices to better their and others lives.

Understanding- that these people cannot be left by the majority to struggle on by themselves helpless because of their ignorance and poverty; the majority should help the minority!

Believing- in Democracy as the ultimate form of civilized government and the only way by which Humanity can break down the bonds of social injustice and fear that keep us apart!

Proposing- that the power of the state is increased to govern peoples lives to the fullest extent without actually reducing freedoms to the ordinary man.
This would be done with: higher taxes, reduction of the corporate strangle-hold on todays modern society and better care for minority groups that for some reason or another are less well off than the ordinary person!!, i.e. better drug rehabilitation facilities and better care for the elderly!

We care about the ordinary person and whether they make the right decisions to keep them safe and healthy, but people alone are weak , if the government has more power over peoples lives and the government is installed via the peoples vote then the majority elects a government that tries to full fill the best interests of society.

United we stand, Alone we fall!

Description: A proposal to increase the reliability and effectiveness of communications, regardless of their importance, among all nations.


Communications would not take place via internet, as it is a harbor for false facts. Communications would not take place verbally/orally, as the communication can be greatly distorted. Communications would not written, typed, ect on paper, reducing chances of interception by malevolent nations.

Communications would take place via the use of a computer messaging network that is not the internet, or recorded audio/video messages delivered and accepted by trusted official of each nation's army.And what's wrong with the methods of communication being used now?

Description: This proposal is to say that the banning of all tankers is a must. The UN has already banned single-hulled tankers but it should be taken further. This says that the UN shall ban all tankers altogether to save the oceans and lakes where tankers burst all over spilling tons of gallons of oil all over the water polluting this Earth. With the technology that there is today there is the ability to transfer oils in another environmentally friendly way and save the waters and animals living in them. There are hundreds of animal deaths each year due to spilling of oils so this will save hundreds of animals. So say ban tankers altogetherAnd just how are we supposed to transport oil then, bucket brigade?

Proposed by: Penguinlanden

Description: NOTING that it is common practice to conduct testing of various products on animals, to ensure the safety of said product for human usage.

SYMPATHIZING with those that deplore these practices of 'cruelty' to animals, this Act:

ENCOURAGES the cessation of experimentation on animals, and

ENCOURAGES the usage of animal rights activists for experimentation.

FURTHER NOTING that animal rights activists are most numerous, testing of products on humans is more logical than testing on animals, and testing on animal rights activists does less damage to the environment.

This Act authorizes the United Nations to:

-Define and create a database of animal rights activists
-Provide technical assistance to any nation seeking to end its practice of testing on animals
-Allow nations to gather and stockpile animal rights activists for their own use, or to be provided to other nations seeking to end the practice of animal experimentation

This Act shall also remove any civil or criminal penalties for the gathering, usage, and disposal of animal rights activists for this purpose, by the host nation.:rolleyes:

Repeal "Free education"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal

Resolution: #28

Proposed by: Jogund

Description: UN Resolution #28: Free education (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Education is the cornerstone of our society. Giving people under the age of 18 the RIGHT to a free education does not improve the situation.

I propose that every person MUST study till the age of 18. Which almost completly assures us that our countries are filled with citizens with a minumum of educational background.

And that every person after 18 years old ,as long as he studies or a maximum of 7 years, has the right to be payed for the educational costs.

Also there must be a board who controls, what UN Nations teaches their children. We do not want our brothers of the UN, to learn their children that the holocaust never happened now would we?

What are the actions:

1. Instead of the right to study, the duty to study untill 18 years old (supported by the government)

2. The government will suport further education as well, as long as he or she is studieng or for 7 years.

3. The establishment of a board, that overviews what the subjects are at school. Eliminating, abuse by govermental institutes.

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

Argument: Reading through the laws of the UN, I came across this one, and I was disgusted.
Men do not have the right to take away life. That is the governments duty of capital punishment. There is no other meaning of Euthanasia other then murder. If you read resolution #43, you will see how in the first paragraph, it says:

He decided that he would obey his mother's wishes, and was jailed for "killing" his mother.

Now can anyone explain to me why 'killing' is in quotes? It is murder, plain and simple.

No More Nudity
A resolution to restrict civil freedoms in the interest of moral decency.

Category: Moral Decency
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: The Horse Lovers

Description: For so long, our children have been exposed to uneeded nudity and sexual images. This should come to a stop. Parents should be able to feel safe with their kids sitting in front of the TV. Nudity, in my opinion, should be saved for the shower and personal reasons in the comfort of their own room. Although nudity may seem natural and nature-like, I believe that it is just too much exposure. I for one would not enjoy seeing other people's naked bodies. I don't mean that the body must be completely covered, but I think that COMPLETE nudity should be banned. I realize that there are specific purposes for partial nudity and that covering up every part of the body would be totally unfair. My proposal is that everyone over the age of 3 should not expose their whole bodies to the public.

Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: All Businesses
Proposed by: The Right Union

Description: ACKNOWLEDGING that horses provide many people with multiple services (including not only entertainment but also monetary services), this proposal will point out why 75% or more of all the domesticated horses in the earthly world should be eradicated.

DISADVANTAGES of having horses exist in the present world include, but are not limited to:

Disease-including possible West Nile infection and rabies

Aesthetics-horse excrement does not please much of the population

Over consumption-horses may be over-eating grasses and other plants that may one day become endangered

PERHAPS there are many more disadvantages to keeping domesticated horses on the planet.

ADVANTAGES to eradicating at least 75% of the horse population include, but are not limited to:

Reduction of hungry humans-horse meat from eradicated horses can be used to feed poor and hungry humans in poor parts of the world.

Increase of employment-there would be more jobs open for humans that otherwise may never have jobs-jobs including horse killing, horse butchering, and horse clean-up.

Increased dog food (et cetera) production-innards and "left overs" from eradicated horses can be used to feed other various animals.

Protection-Grasses and other plants that may have one day become extinct because of horse over-consumption would be saved and protected.

UNDERSTANDING that the eradication of 75% of the world domesticated horse population would involve many monetary and human resources, it would be necessary for multiple groups of nation representatives to provide resources that would aid in the eradication/clean-up of the horses.

INTERNATIONAL cooperation would be needed.

APPEASING animal rights groups would also be necessary. Therefore, at least 10% and at most 25% of the domesticated horse population would need to be spared, as a sort of comprimise.

OPTIONS to continue this eradication process to keep horse populations in check include once per century mass eradications.

INTERNATIONAL support would be necessary for this to succeed.:rolleyes:

Description: Proposal for Linguistical Common Sense

UNDERSTANDING that the people of the world use many languages.

COMPREHENDING that the majority of the populations can speak few of these.

KNOWING that words may own duplicate meanings to words.

GRASPING KNOWLEDGE that important and influential words can be mistranslated or missed entirely because of clarity.

Benefiting from this would be the speed and clarity of the people who are currently feeling injustices, those who cannot speak for themselves can have their words manipulated, this would allow those people to speak clearly and openly to overthrow the oppressors.

HEREBY proposes that all state and UN actions should be carried out in one/all of the three most common languages at this moment in time.

ENGLISH INGLÉS 英语
SPANISH ESPAÑOL 西班牙语
CHINESE CHINO 汉语

If accepted it would take effect immediately.You know, so far doing all UN business in English has worked pretty well so I don't see any need to change.

Strength: Strong
Proposed by: The Edomites

Description: we need more rights for our immagrants not less whether illegal or not we must treat them how jesus wouldApparently, The Edomites can't find the spell check button.

I always laugh at these types of arguments. (And I'm a Secular Franciscan ... go figure.) What would Jesus do? He would probably gather them all together on a hill, feed them, and then have his associates sneak away that night on a boat while he followed later on foot. (Over the water on foot, but hey, DHIP) I don't recall a single story about Jesus the legislator, or Jesus the Supreme Court Judge. At least Solomon has a court case trial record you can use to determine what he would do.

There is only one written case of a "decision" by Jesus, and it's in a very corrupt setting. That was when Pharisees in the presence of Roman guards brought up a prostitue for judgement. Prostitution was an offense that demended stoning under the law of Moses. Under the Law of Rome, only Roman officals could issue the death penalty, stoning was tehcnically illegal under the law. So Jesus dropped back 5 yards, pulled the grenade pin and threw it at the Pharisees, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." After all, under the philosophy of the Pharisees strict observance of the law meant that they were "sinless." Therefore Jesus had just told them that they could stone her ... well they can't stone her because they would be arrested on the spot ... hoisted on their own pietard. So the oldest ones realizing that they had just been outfoxed realized that it is better to publically admit you are a sinner than to wind up dead at the hands of the Romans so they walked away.

Repeal "UN Biological Weapons Ban"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal


Resolution: #113


Proposed by: The Undefeatable Dudes

Description: UN Resolution #113: UN Biological Weapons Ban (Category: Global Disarmament; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: URGING that you read UNITED NATIONS RESOLUTION #110 which is on the previous page.

NOTING that resolution #110 states "that all member states have the right to construct and utilize any and all weapons that are necessary to defend their nation from attack, except where previous legislation by this body that is still in effect has placed restrictions on that right."
Now, this resolution that bans biological weapons comes after resolution #110, so it is in direct conflict with this law. In order for this resolution to have stood, the creator of this law should have repealed the other resolution first.

DECLARES that we in the UN cannot have to conflicting laws, and that we should abolish this resolution as soon as possible.

Approvals: 0

Maybe someone should tell the author about the enormous loophole in resolution 110 which lets us ban any weapon we want to, except nukes of course.

UN Rules Enforcement
A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.

Category: The Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Smeltzington

Description: It is well known that all nations must obey the resolutions passed by the UN regardless of whether they are a member or not. However, by what right does the UN govern all nations, including those who are not among its ranks? I submit that enforcement of UN rules is completely fair among nations belonging to the UN. However, I also submit that it is not fair to tell a nation how to run itself or what rules to play by when you are a third party whom they do not belong to. It is an infringement on a nation's rights to do so. It is my proposal that UN rules be enforced only among nations belonging to the UN and that nations outside of the UN be free to govern themselves free from UN influence.

New Hamilton is one of them......

Everything now makes sense......

The legality of resolution 113 is too subtle for me to send that person a telegram informing him of it. ;)

Category: The Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Tally Hall

Description: I Say that we get rid of the 4 year term presidents of today.
This proposal has a few reasons why it would further improve our current democracy.


1) People will have more chances to vote and more candidates to vote for

2) If the current president is doing a poor or not-up-to par job, then he will be out of office in a year or two

3) New presidents will bring new Ideas and will further advance democracy


The catch, if you will, is that the president can be reelected 3 times in a row, but then has to wait 10 years before he is able to run for president. If he is reelected after his 3 terms, he is not able to hold office again for more then one more term.What about those nations that don't have presidents?

Description: WHEREAS it is fully recognized that the purpose of this organization is to promote peace, prosperity and uphold the freedoms and rights of all peoples.

IT IS WITH REGRET that it has been noticed that many nations, UN members and delegates amongst them, blatantly advertise their irresponsible flouting of UN resolutions including, but not restricted to; murder; torture; sexual discrimination and other human rights issues.

IT IS PROPOSED THAT a court be set up on neutral territory (the forum) whereby any single nation may accuse any other nation of violation of a specific UN resolution, solely based upon the accused nation's description.

The court may be presided over by any single UN delegate from The Pacific regions, or if none are available, any UN delegate from a region that has in excess of 200 nations at the start of the trial. No judge may preside over his own trial.

The trial must take place, for all the world to see, by way of argument and counter-argumeent until such time that the judge decides to make a ruling.

Should the judge rule against the accused, the judge will decide upon the amount of time the nation has to reverse the violation.

Failure to comply will result in censureIllegal, I see a committee rules violation and what appears to be a couple of game mechanics violations too.

I do suggest that if we do go forward with this that we only restrict this new law to controllable areas only. The controllable areas are helpful for keeping the user both save from driving under the influence of a narcadic but at the same time supply them as a customer with more drugs. Supplying the customer with more drugs means that the controlled area or business can make a prophet off of this sale. The controlled areas can be controlled by the government so that what ever amount of money that comes into the place the government can collect it as extra tax money. Controlled areas will not need to be required to pay propertiey tax like what a church and legally get away with. There will be an age restriction too to ensure to safety of our youth so we will not need to corrupt their bodies by the use of natural harmful plants.

Religion Police

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.


Category: Human Rights


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Feever

Description: Religions around the world are being abused and prevented from being practiced in most nations. This is against Human Rights, and therefore it is important for all nations to respect religions and allow their existence within their borders.

CONCLUDING that the international protection of Human Rights for allowing the freedom of practicing any religion will strengthen the societies of all member states and allow cooperation with ease thus forcing nations to move forward to a better future.

Religions are different but share many common aspects in beliefs. Different Nations have different Religions and must but not all respect other religions. Therefore, creating hostility and religions wars.

1. DEFINES, for the purpose of this resolution:
a. "Religious Freedom" as in everyone has the freedom to choose a religion as pleases and must be protected by the government from any harm no matter what is the Nations State Religion.
b. "Religious Information" as including all knowledge known by scholars to be shared to anyone requesting such information for any reason wether for conversion, debate, or general knowledge.
c. "Religion Police" as a UN international Police regulating Religious Freedom in nations.
d. "Religious Groups" are Christianity, Juedism, Islam, Budisem, and Hinduism.

2. STRESSES that Religion Police is for protection of Known Religious Groups from governments oppressing some religions and any terrorist activities. Also for regulating members on the list from performing and wrong deeds depending on their religion, Preventing corruption at the work place and in public spaces.

3. CREATES the United Nations Religious Police (UNRP) for the purpose of keeping a registry of Religious and their members in all nations, which shall register the members by the following process:
a. The Full name of the person, must write an application to the UNRP detailing his/her religion, age, Family members and their religions, Location, Nationality, and Occupation.
c. The UNRP will review the application, by checking with the government of the state where the applicant lives.
d. If these criteria are met, the applicant will be approved and given an identification number, from which he/she will be listed on the protection list.

4. DECLARES that members on the list with identification numbers are protected from governments oppression on their religions, accusations from citizens of any nation, and can file suits against any government or person that has offended his/her religion.

5. DECLARES that members of the UNRP are not to engage in any harm to any person with the same or different religion in any possible method.

6. EMPHASIZES that nations still have the right to have State Religions where the population has to respect and obey the ongoing laws.

ZOMG! RELIGION POLICE :headbang:

Note that only five religions are called religions. I'm sure that believers in Shinto, Judaism, Buddhism, and other faiths don't appreciate being slighted...

Repeal "Stop privacy intrusion"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal
Resolution: #10
Proposed by: Attleson

Description: UN Resolution #10: Stop privacy intrusion (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Argument to repeal the resolution "Stop Privacy Intrusion"

1. This Resolution, while being one in the interest of human and social rights, is one that restricts the ability to not only solve crimes, but stop criminals before they are able to commit a crime.

2. Such a kindness granted to people can be a tool that criminals can use against police and other law enforcement members, I.E. If police were too receive information adequate too require phone taping, then criminals might use staged coversations to fool police if they had received from their sources the knowledge that their conversations were being tapped, perhaps from a corrupt law enforcement official.

3. That all UN members realise that while this arguement is to repeal this statement, it realises that a certain degree of privacy will be allotted to citizens, however people with a large or flagrant criminal record will be monitered at a degree decided by the amount and type of their crimes.

4. Understand that this is all in the idea of protecting not only resources that can be stolen, but the health of those it is stolen from. Surely we cannot put a price on the health and wellbeing of our most highly esteemed citizens.

We would be free from other nations using their oil fields as a reason for the U.S. to be nice to them.

Ban Working Mothers

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


Category: Moral Decency


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Dixie-world

Description: Women are the weaker sex. However in this enlightened age we still allow women to work. However when a woman becomes a mother, surely it’s time to put self indulgence aside and accept the interest of the child is paramount. According to a recent survey carried out by Oliver North University in Dixie-World, published statistics clearly show children of working mothers are a hundred times more likely to become drug addicts, commit crimes or listen to black metal music. We feel it is in the interest of all UN states that their children grow up, wholesome, gun wielding and patriotic. Therefore we propose that women are forbidden to work after childbirth and restricted to the home.

Anti-Terrorist Resolution

A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.


Category: International Security


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Capitalist Pig Inc

Description: Description- A resolution to help improve the UN's capability to deal with the threat of terrorism.

REALISING that terrorism has become a huge global problem.

UNDERSTANDING that civil rights and political freedom are important factors in any developed country.

REMEMBERING that many hundreds of thousands have been killed due to terrorist activities

1. We propose that shoot to kill policies be implemented in all UN member states to deal with suicide bombers.

2. We propose that if innocents are killed under suspicion of being terrorists the offending police officer is not held directly responsible if the death was truly accidental.

3. We propose that all member states must have a specialist department for dealing with terrorism.

4. We propose that military budgets should be increased so in case of all out war the UN can fight off a terrorist attack.

5. We propose that all UN member states should not negotiate with terrorists in almost all viable circumstances.

6. We propose that all evidence collected through a countries secret service should be considered as evidence in a suspects trial.

7. We propose that if a suspect is found guilty of planning terrorist activities or participating in previous ones they should face at least 10 years in prison and possible deportation after their sentence.

8. We propose that a new specialist branch of security counsel is created, specifically for UN member states wishing to discuss co-operation in the war against terror.

CONCLUDING that unless some major changes are made in the near future terrorists will continue to kill more and more innocents and in the worst case overthrow UN member governments.

THEREFORE we encourage you to vote for this Anti-Terrorist Resolution.

Description: Hinduism (Sanskrit/Hindi Hindû Dharma—, also known as Sanâtana Dharma , and Vaidika Dharma ) is a religion originating in the Indian subcontinent, based on the Vedas and the beliefs of other people of India. It is one of the oldest religious traditions still practised today. The term Hinduism is heterogenous, as Hinduism consists of several schools of thought. It encompasses many religious rituals that widely vary in practice, as well as many diverse sects and philosophies. Many Hindus venerate an array of deities, or consider them as manifestations of the one Supreme monistic Cosmic Spirit Brahman, while others focus on a singular concept of God, such as in Vaishnavism, Saivism and Shaktism.[1]

Hinduism is the third largest religion in the world with approximately 970 million adherents (2005 figure), approximately 900 million of whom live in India [2] [3]. The Himalayan kingdom of Nepal is the only nation in the world with Hinduism as its state religion. Hinduism believes that there is only one supreme Absolute called Brahman. However, Hinduism is mostly associated with a multiplicity of Gods and it does not advocate the worship of one particular deity. The Gods and Goddesses of Hinduism amount to thousands, all representing the many aspects of the Brahman.

The most fundamental of Hindu deities, is the Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva - creator, preserver and destroyer respectively. Hindus also worship spirits, trees and animals. Deities are represented by a complexity of images and idols symbolizing divine powers. Many of these idols are housed within ornate temples of unparalleled beauty and grandeur.
Happy learningOK, you told us what Hinduism is, now why don't you tell us why we should advance it.

Let me see if I have this straight, the author want's to create a NationStates for the citizens in our NationStates nations.:rolleyes:

I remember a great short story about that. The city was under a heavy burden of too many pollsters so a company was formed to create a computer simulation to simulate the population of the city and poll them instead of the real citizens. While there was heavy opposition by unknown forces the project was started and was starting to give results. One day one of the programmers went into the simulation to investigate the strange behavior of one of the simulated citizens who seemed exceptionally parinoid. When asked if he was afraid of being a simulation. The simulation replied, "I not woried about the fact that I am a simulation. I'm worried about the fact that you're a simulation."

The simulation it seemed had created its own simulation. Fractal recursion is such a wonderful concept, even though it really is a waste of computer resources. :p

Description: UN Resolution #4: UN taxation ban (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: CONSIDERING the rights of member nations to have the rights to enforce and pass laws within their boarders.

RECALLING resolution number 4 “UN taxation ban”


TAKING INTO ACCOUNT with note to that it affects the sovereignty of members nations, But comments that’s the UN has already limited leaders from making the choice they would have chosen if the UN did not take that option away from them.


RECOGNISING that any tax by a leadership body of this organization would have to be vary minimal in order to have little impact on said member nation’s economy.

WISHING that with this repeal that the UN may have the power to impose a small tax and begin a change of events that will form a centralized governing body.

DECLARES that with the funds gathers from small taxes from the vast UN members that the revenue gathered may go to humanitarian efforts, scientific research and other endeavors.

Closing Speech
The United Nations was established to prevent atrocities on a global scale such as war, famine, disease, and starvation and to over all act as a force for good in this world. At this moment the UN is simply willing nations that join together in a common cause, but I believe in that this institution can become something greater, a way to peacefully unite this planet under a representational form of government. I believe and insist that with taxation at this level can begin a process to from a more centralized government.

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


Category: Moral Decency

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: McGhoo

Description: I propose that all UN member nations be granted the right to determine their own Euthanasia laws.

Under UN Resolution #43, 'Legalise Euthanasia', no UN member nation has the right to decide its own Euthanasia policy. This remains true even if its government has an overwhelming anti-Euthanasia mandate from the electorate. Instead, member nations are forced by international law to obey an arbitrary moral decision, passed by less than 800 votes out of more than 20,000.

While I accept that this was a fair and democratic decision, I question how it is 'fair' that the 10,810 nations who voted for the proposal be allowed to impose their moral values on the 10,031 who did not. I ask on behalf of the minority that, just as we would not wish to impose our moral code on you, so you should allow us to remain free from yours.

As far as I am aware, the UN's intended role is not that of a moral police force. Our great institution ensures the preservation of basic and fair human rights for the citizens of all member nations. But on a decision of such moral complexity as the rights and wrongs of Euthanasia, I believe national self-determination to be the only fair answer.

I quote the following highly dubious passages from Resolution #43:

"...if the person cannot make the decision themselves it would be made by those closest to them on the basis of professional medical advice."

The implications of this single clause are truly terrifying. How can any UN citizen feel safe in their hospital bed, knowing that, by law, they can be executed without their permission by the very doctors who are supposed to be caring for them?

"Why should carers use up time on those certain to die, when this time could be spent with those with a chance of life?"

Is a human being therefore expendable when they reach a certain age or level of infirmity? The encouragement of such callous financial calculation is the unintended legacy of Resolution #43. I for one do not wish to live in a nation that allows human life to be treated with such a complete lack of respect.

Resolution #43 must be repealed, and replaced by this resolution guaranteeing national control of euthanasia.

In addition, to ensure that individual freedoms are not impeded, I propose an additional clause guaranteeing the right of any terminally ill UN citizen to be granted an assisted death in any UN nation that allows such action. We can thus attain the best of both worlds: individuals free to make up their own minds, and the duly elected governments of UN nations free to do the same.

I urge my fellow UN members to vote for National Control of Euthanasia, and restore the right of the people to determine what is permitted in their nation's hospitals.

NOTING that the Bank Supervising Commision (BSC) cannot belong to any form of a government. It must be an independent organisation regulated by The UN banking rules.

CONSIDERING that duties of BSC are as following:
1. Supervising all the money operations performed by the banks
2. Blocking bank decisions which can hardly decrease the bank's money fluency
3. Reporting any malicious transactions to UN banking commision
4. In some way preventing from laundering money
5. Preventing from bank crashes

Haven't you seen what the application process (OOC: whose description was, I think, in the 'Hualien resigns...' thread) is like? I somehow can't see either of those nations' missions going through it... and they weren't listed in the official directory when last I checked its contents...

UN Trade Bank
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.

Category: Free Trade
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Tukus

Description: We propose that a bank be created and run by the UN.
This bank will hold the donated surplus goods of member nations.
Member nations may freely trade their surplus donated goods for other goods that were considered surplus by another member nation.
These trades are 1:1 meaning if i donate 1 ton of wheat and another nation donates 1 ton of iron the exchange or trade is equal..1 ton for 1 ton.
We feel that this Bank will not only encourage nations to produce surplus but will also encourage more nations to join the UN.

"How does he come to that conclusion"

"Well, he's also banning reporting on homosexuals in the media"

"Well couldn't we do that part first so they'll never be able to find out if we passed laws banning homosexuality, and they would never be able to do a study to check."

"That would certainly be the theory."

"So really, putting a lid on it is really just putting it under the rug"

"That's pretty much it, Alpha 1"

"Well, then we might as well tie him up and place him on his own island - isolated from all the bad homosexuals"

"My thoughts exactly. Permission to proceed?"

One, "the logical way" is not so logical. Two, has humanity - throughout the ages - really "wanted... the right to be free"? I think one of the reasons so-called libertarian movements have failed so miserably is that the majority of people do not in fact rate 'freedom' as an ultimate goal. Why do we have states? not to allow them to oppress us, but to co-ordinate and facilitate an easier lifestyle.

I'm not saying this is a good thing, just pointing out that 'freedom' is a goal that exists mostly in the heads of political ideologues. And this statement is coming from an anarcho-fluffyist.

Huh? I don't get it. What about this proposal is so WTF-worthy?

For me, it was mostly the fact he wants to increase freedoms by increasing the police and military presence. The WTF was because I can't figure out how having more authority enforcers "watching" the population can increase freedoms.

Category: Repeal


Resolution: #147


Proposed by: Republicans Armed

Description: UN Resolution #147: Abortion Legality Convention (Category: Moral Decency; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Regretting that anyone would disagree with the position to exterminate unborn children for any reason they choose and seeking to correct that deviance from absolute truth;

Recognizing a woman should have the right to "exterminate" any of her children under the age of one and a half years since they could never be viable without her assistance;

Ignoring the biological fact the fetus is both human and alive from the moment of conception and distinguishes its unique individuality from the mother by possessing a completely different genetic code, it's own immune system, and often possessing a different blood type (and male about half of the time);

Reminds states of the revenue lost in the absense of the abortion industry making alot of money from poor scared pregnant women;

Desiring to see a new bill replace this one that would mandate abortion in all nations and force any woman already having a child to get an abortion for population control reasons.

Repeals Resolution #147 Abortion Legality Convention:rolleyes:

How do you imagine a nation can secure the rights of its citizens if it cannot guarantee their safety, or defend itself and its people against outside aggressors?

I think the proposal as written sounds stupid. If you think it doesn't that is your right and business.

Personally I think freedoms are increased by less enforcer presence, not more. Agree or disagree as you please.

I asked him about it in a telegram and he said that he likes to give all proposals a fair chance infront of the UN, so that all proposals can be voted on by all UN members. Then, it is a fairer chance as to whether or not it passes or fails because everyone who the resolution affects gets a vote. Basically, he'd just like the delegate approval stage just removed.

Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Aubynholt

Description: In the event of one UN country being attack by another, or buy a country outside the UN, ALL UN countries will, without hesitation, declare war on the offending country and cease all trade with them. If the offending country is a member of the UN then they shall be stripped of that membership forthwith.Illegal, only mods can kick nations out of the UN.

I think it's more of a case of 'why do you care so much about going over something that just makes people cross yet again when we could go into new territory and explore the unknown?'
I'm actually more surprised cloning, gm foods etc haven't cropped up more.

But with UNR #43 under, I think, round 4 of serious repeal attempts and we'll be seeing that can of worms open in the near future, keeping cans of worms closed is not exactly the best way to work through the UN. Those that don't care seem to start winning when that happens.Really? So, if an abortion-rights proposal passes in the future, and I try to repeal it, you'd support the repeal, on the premise that "keeping cans of worms closed is not exactly the best way to work through the UN"? Did you support Dorksonia's attempt to reopen the can a few months back? No?!

Hmm.

I wasn't around to witness the canopenner.

And I thought that Abortion Rights was a "good enough resolution for now". The same I cannot say about ALC. Gee, a guy who discusses message as much as he discusses effect has a different opinion about a resolution with about as much effect but a completely different message.

EDIT: In effect, I was less concerned about reopenning the can of worms because I disliked the effect on the community than I was about other issues. One would be the fact that when Waterana campaigned for her own repeal of Abortion Rights to put CAR in place, she got swamped with TGs telling her that it was too important to keep Abortion Rights in place. I pretty much didn't think a pro-abortion repeal proposal could pass. Add on that Darksonia's resolution includes statements like

"NOTES people are passionate on both sides of this issue and repealing this issue will indeed be "pro-choice" (member nations may choose to permit abortions for any reason, limit it as they deem necessary, or prohibit)."
(which even my NatSov leaning region was annoyed about)

"EMPHASIZES Resolution #61 does not limit abortion to "Women's health" during later trimesters, but allows a woman to have an abortion for any reason whatsoever (age, gender of the baby, etc.), for no reason whatsoever, without parental consent, without spousal consent, and at any any point up to and including the ninth month of pregnancy. "

Two lines that I absolutely could not support. The latter actually hit close to home (now that I think about it, I might've shared that story on the debate thread).

No. I would not have been able to support Darksonia's proposal no matter how you cut it.

I saw this one posted.

Anyone over 30+ Body Mass Index whom is clinically obese, will be forced to pay higher tax. If they can afford to eat so much, then they can afford to pay higher tax! Every person in the nation will be weighed at their doctors each year.

It is about time people started acting in a responsible way, allowing the government to spend money on projects and people which are more beneficial for everyone.Banning smoking and taxing fat people is human rights?

Banning smoking and taxing fat people is human rights?
Why certainly.

We have the right not to have to smell smoke and not to be scarred for life watching a fat person waddle.

I think the proposal as written sounds stupid. If you think it doesn't that is your right and business.No, I wasn't particularly impressed by it.

Personally I think freedoms are increased by less enforcer presence, not more. Agree or disagree as you please.Meh. You can pass all the laws in the world protecting civil rights and personal and political freedoms, but they're totally meaningless without a credible "enforcer" presence to protect said rights and enforce said laws.

Regardless, claims of stupidity that are based on bias and personal opinion appear all the time here. Considering that half the proposals we joke about are based upon false reasoning....

Oh joy, another lame attempt to ban water.:rolleyes:


You leave out that it would also ban table salt, gold and silver. ;)

Description: Let it be known that prostitution shall be legal all throughout the world. Any nation not accepting this shall be destroyed.It's been done, and undone, and redone, can we not talk about this anymore?:D

We have the right not to have to smell smoke and not to be scarred for life watching a fat person waddle.Well yeah, but would that qualify according to the proposal rules?:p

You leave out that it would also ban table salt, gold and silver.;) I noticed the gold and was pretty sure that silver was one of the listed substances but I've never seen that term for table salt before.

...and haemoglobin, too? I presume, from the relevant line, that that is what the author meant by 'haima'?

IC:ARE YOU INSANE?!?!?! WHY ON EARTH DO YOU WANT TO REOPEN THIS CAN OF WORMS?!!?!?

I think he was thinking that now he's got the 'Patients Rights Act' passed no NatSov or 'pro-life' replacement for ALC would be legal...

Haima is one of the principle components of haemoglobin, which is one of the principle components of blood. Effectively, it would ban blood.

There are certainly some who believe that, but I've seen some disagreement about how mods might interpret.

Well it all depends on the definition of "patient." :D

I believe that continued attachment to a life sustaining device might be considered a medical treatment under the resolution and since unborn are technically under the "age" of 16 can have this wish proposed by their "legal guardian."

Now it would get interesting if one applied the argument that "Consultations between patients and physicians shall be held in the strictest confidentiality and shall not be made available to any third party without the consent of the patient" and "Personal medical records and the contents of such records shall not be made available to any third party without the consent of the patient" would prohibit the woman from knowing the details of fetal development without the express consent of the fetus' legal guardian.

One of the faults in the resolution is that only non treament has an endangerment clause. "Patients may refuse treatment and such refusal shall be verbal or in writing provided that such refusal does not endanger the health of others." Both the fetus and the mother could argue for medical procedures that puts the other at risk.

I have a hard time believing the fetus could give either verbal or written consent so I doubt its opinion weighs into the debate much.....

Unless any nation out there has a population whose members develop sapience & telepathic powers at the foetal stage... Considering the number and sheer diversity of the UN's member-nations, would you bet against there being at least one nation where this is the case? ;)

OOC: In fact, come to think of it, that pattern of development is probably the case for at least some people in one of my own other (currently-non-UN) nations, 'Happy Hexadactyls', whose people are a mutation-heavy branch of humanity...

1) Sapience != understanding any know language. If we ran into a sapient race, I doubt they will be speaking English ala Star Trek: Enterprise
2) Telepathy is not verbal. It lacks mouth movements. I actually cringed slightly when I realized that wasn't considered....during the vote

Doesn't need to as all those under an age limit can be represented by a "legal guardian" who one would assume could give verbal or wrtiten consent. And since the resolution doesn't define legal guardian, that's up to the courts of the individual nation to decide.

Telepathy is not verbal.

Nit picking, but telepathy is based on thought patterns, and most creatures with a verbal communication system tend to "think" verbally. So one might generaly consider it mostly verbal for most races.

Just because one might think verbally doesn't make all thoughts verbal.

Either it's oral, or it's using words. As I said, just because he's sentient doesn't mean he knows any known language

1) Sapience != understanding any know language. If we ran into a sapient race, I doubt they will be speaking English ala Star Trek: Enterprise
The aliens in Star Trek aren't speaking English we only hear it in English because of the universal translators that they have (assuming that the translators are working and can translate the language).

Anyway, back to what this thread is about.

Description: People of the world! Feeling tired of finding a hiding place to pull/finger one off? I do!

I propose that public masturbation should be legal, as it will break down the "badness" of mastubation and show that it's a perfectly normal and healthy thing to do.


PS: Vote against and i'll nuke yer ass ;)
