Freedom Banning Act

Category: Political Stability

Proposed by: The Daemons

Description: Prevent the people who disagree with your government from speaking their minds, have them locked up for fun. Become corrupt today!





ummm is this a proposal, or a glorified piece of spam? i cant tell


CONFORMATION! WZ FORUMS IS A PROPOSAL APPROVING BOT!!!

That's not confirmation of bot-hood. Its confirmation he approves everything.

Category: Political Stability
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Emperatus Catorum

Description: My fellow delegates,
In the 1920's, Europe saw the creation of third party system politics, largely seeing themselves as a wedge in between the stand-offish uncooperative nations of the Soviet east, and Capitalist west. They are now daubed the ‘fascist dictatorships’. These regimes are now seen as the most evil, autocratic, and incoherent authorities to have ever existed. They were CORRECTLY shunned after the secondly world war. But did we eject such ideas rightly? Was there some tiny little element that may have been of a bettering nature to the nations of the world?

In paraliamentary fascism, a system of government was developed, in which instead of representing the geography of an entity, rather social sectors, employers, their employees and agrarian representatives were given seats in parliament. It stood for the betterment of the nation, and along with the ‘battles’ for grain, drainage, and transport, Italy became a powerhouse. It stood aside from the inertia of the past, as a nation revitalised, and a model for all economic advancement every where. Mussolini, a man despicable for other attributes, and rightly so, has this one good creditable motion to his name. Yet in our effort to distance ourselves from the evils of the general term, fascism (Nazism), we have abandoned all the good that we might otherwise have salvaged, some things which were given true praise, and whether we know it or not, we some what adopted by nations every where, as legitimate proposals. Need I mention Eire, whose centre left premier, Eamon De Valera, reformed his upper house, modelling it along corporative lines, making constituencies reflective of the social classes in his fledgling, neutral, democracy, for instance of the older Anglo-Irish aristocracy, along side the Trade Union delegates, who in turn sat across from genuine fascists, and communists alike.
Let us not poke ourselves ever with the stigma of the past. The future is where our destinies lie, so let us all try to see that other systems are possibly far more beneficial to our nations, and deserve genuine consideration, rather than allowing our friends and family dead to be dishonoured by excuses, against the betterment of their descendants.

TO re-arrange all paraliaments along social lines, rather than along the current goegraphical borders,

Vote ‘yes’ to the motion that, “Corporativism should be a genuine consideration for the future of the world.” Let us not be bound by geography or race. Let us remedy the flaws in democracy, by healing the stigma of boundaries. Let us do the right thing by our Christianity (what ever benevolent religion you profess if any)
Yours Emperatus Catorum,
Emperor of the Gaels

Wow. This does nothing, and makes no sense due to being mostly about RL references.

I could be wrong with my Latin (I'm not that well versed in it I have to say), but "Emperatus Catorum" is not a Latin statement. In fact, the Latin word for "Emperor"- and the root of the word- "imperator" simply meant "master of troops". My nation more properly refers to our rulers as "Caesar".

Description: As we all know, the use of any narcotic has an adverse affect on the blood and minds of those who use the drug.

Since impaired workers are lousy workers, and tainted blood not healthy for consumption, banning all narcotics, event those prescribed by doctors, will make the world's workers more efficient

Wouldn't you want to be able to live in a warm and cosy environment where people wouldn't look down on you! I propose that we should build big houses for the homeless, like we do for th elderly. We can help them get through their troubles and if they're on drugs we can rehabilitate them. It's a great idea because it would create jobs and after a while we would help them to get back on their feet so they CAN get a job and so they will also be able to buy their own clothes and maybe eventually they would be able to leave and buy themselves a cheap house or flat.
Good job, you just learned how not to write a proposal.
Category: Gun Control

The military however still can own lethal guns such as M16s, Pistols, and any other weapon from now until the end of time, and or until this is repealed. Vote for this and war will decrease, and also domestic crimes such as murder, muggings, and grand theft auto will decrease to almost a non existant status.
What?
Cap guns?
What the Hell are we supposed to do, scare off the criminals with the loud noise?
And the best thing is, s/he accidentally classed it under "Relax" anyway.

Adverse affect(sic) on the blood? Umm, sure...When you consider just the bolded parts, this one actually make sense. Apparently you don't spend enough time around Gothic Vampire Freaks.

although the banning of narcotics, even prescribed ones, is a good idea, wot would become of you if you became ill and with no drugs to make you better shurely you would just die. for the gothic vampire freaks this would be an advantage, but for normal people, this is horrendous. so i say that blood sucking freaks should suck each others blood not that of innocent poeple. so ther fore there is no need to ban narcotics!
sorry if i went off the point and this makes no sense but it works for me :) lol

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #43
Proposed by: Asswhoopia

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

Argument: CLAIMS:

Recognizing that Euthanasia is the termination of an individual capable of sustaining their own life in the absence of medical machinery.

and

Recognizing that the murder of another human being is a crime punishable in all U.N. member nations.

ARGUMENT:

Euthanasia is a crime not just against God, but against every moral code governing society. The murder of another human being is intolerable and should not be permitted unless the country in question has the death penalty.
Well, seeing as some euthanasia is people who cannot survive without life support getting their life support cut off by choice, your argument is a bit irrelevant.
Whoops!
On top of the fact that even if euthanasia were what s/he says it is, s/he's still wrong about it being "a crime against God and every moral code governing society". Funny, doesn't go against my morals...

Category: International Security
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Proeliator

Description: This resolution proposes to insure international security by dissolving the international body known as the United Nations. Since its inception, the United Nations has not managed to maintain peace or international security. The international stage is one, which requires swift action and the best way to insure international peace, and security is to allow each state to defend itself against armed aggression from within and without its borders. The presents of the United Nations simply gives the appearance of a body, which works for the betterment of the international community, but the United Nations simply passes and forces sovereign nations to accept useless resolutions.
This resolution would force the United Nations to disband and would allow for the creation of a new international body; one that would truly be an active organization and would help in solving the problems of the international community without forcing sovereign nations to deal with petty resolution dealing with internal matters such as prostitution or education.
To the mods, I bet that proposal reads something like this:

Description: "...it is ridiculous for people who have already decided that it is moral to kill babies in the womb to show some squeamishness about destroying human embryos in a petri dish. Hell, man, once you decide to become a child-killer, their ages no longer matter. Or the numbers. Damnation of your soul is completed with the first one." Charley Reese

Stem cells are very uncertain. Many people think stem cels are good but it is unproven. Stem cells are aquired through the killing of embroys and the fetus (Babys).

Stem cells hold no future. Man should not play God with what he has.

"I just cannot equate a child living in the womb, with moving toes and fingers and a beating heart, with a frozen embryo sitting in a lab somewhere." Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) on NBC's Meet the Press

"Do I want to see again? Dance again? Hear like I once did? I do not want those things at the cost of any living person and I consider live embryos to be people." Testimony of a disabled woman at a Congressional hearing.

Stem cells are obtained from extracted from an umbilical cord, a child's body or a fetus. This is unmoral and unethical. Even if they get alot of stem cells, The surplus embryos will almost all be eventually be destroyed, even if it happens accidentally, decades later, due to equipment malfunction.

THe project of stem cells also encourage Abortion and unjustified killing of a baby.

how would you like it if your mother kills you by selling you to a stem cell research facility because she can make some money?

Stem cells are bad and the researh is too costly. Doctors are being paid 100 million dolors a year to do nothing other than look at a cell and see if they can do anything to it. How rediculous. That money can be used for researches like AIDS research or feedin the HUNGRY people in Africa. We are wastingmoney with Stem cells.

What happens to the surplus embryos?
There are only two options for the surplus embryos -- those that are not implanted in the woman's uterus:

Most often, the spare embryos are deep-frozen in liquid nitrogen. This is called "cryopreservation." Of the 232 labs who returned surveys to a government survey, 215 (94.7%) have the equipment to preserve embryos.

Their fate is mixed: Some die during the freezing process;
Some die while they are subsequently thawed.
They may eventually die because of operator error or equipment malfunction.

STEM CELLS ARE BAD AND THEY ARE USELESS. WE HAVE TO BAN AND STOP ALL FUNDING TO STEM CELL RESEARCH AND USE THE MONEY IN A MORE SOUND INVESTMENTS. WE CAN USE THAT MONEY TO FEED THE HUNGRY OR GIVE SHELTER TO THE SHELTERLESS.

COME ON, LETS STOP THESE CORRUPT SCIENTISTS FROM GETTING RICH BECASUE THEY WANT MONEY SO THEY PURPOSLY STALL THE RESEARCH AND WASTE OUR MONEY WHILE THEY FILL THEIR POCKETS AND LEAVE PEOPLE HUNGRY, HOMELESS AND POOR.

BAN THESE STEM CELLS AND THEIR RESEARCH AND DIVERTE THE FUNDS TO ANOTHER SOUND INVESTEMENTS LIKE THE UN'S WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION.

The Solarplex power station will use state of the art solar collecting technology and a new battery control system to store limitless amounts of energy for use in everyday activities. With the help of the many nations Space Programs this bill will enable nations to launch solar collecting satalites which will then transfer the energy colleted via Microwave Radiation to a control center and energy reserve system for use at night or in case of emergiences.

The UN will decide the best location for this center and the estimated twenty or thirty Echolon mirror sites. The UN will also appoint a special board or Solar Energy Conecil (SEC) to oversee the project and its usuage there after.

ALL nations will be granted access to the Solarplex and its energy. The Solarplex and mirrors will be own by the UN and the SEC.

not only does it mean that we are at a higher risk if we dont use what we can, but all this money that has gone into it has been wasted

the intelligence we get about terrorist attacks is minimal as it is, we dont need less phone bugs and things like that, we need more, we need to know what things are happening, we need to try and stamp out all this terrorism, and the only way is to tighten out hold on communication
By that reasoning in the first line, you'd be happy for one of the larger nations to reduce your nation to slag because they have the technology to do it.

3) There is little point in having good trade agreements and excellent goods if the delivery service is so shambolic that no-one is certain goods will appear when promised
4) A global solution to this issue would have huge positive efects on the worlds trade levels and economic growth. A weak link in the chain would be fixed.

Bahgum proposes:
a) An internationally agreed system of fines for poor couriers, equal to at least double the cost of delivery plus recovery of the wages for the numner average working persons directly affected in the waiting nation.
b) That the number of cancelled/failed/late deliveries is publicised by each company by law.
c) Date and time of day (to the nearest half day) is agreed upon order, not later.

Extra Notes..
Bahgums glorious leader also suggests that member nations may wish to enforce more stringent, and possibly more unpleasant measures and encourages them to do so. Our latest offender is currently condemmed to a fortnight of living with a mother in law. Maybe this an example of anger led decisions..... When I saw the author I knew that it would qualify as silly before even reading it. Although I will admit the it is extremely well written.

Non-Lethal Gun Rights
A resolution to tighten or relax gun control laws.


Category: Gun Control
Decision: Relax
Proposed by: Cantarctica

Description: All previous gun laws for usage and licence requirements shall remain. However from now on Gun distributors may now only legally sell non-lethal guns such as stun guns and cap guns. The military however still can own lethal guns such as M16s, Pistols, and any other weapon from now until the end of time, and or until this is repealed. Vote for this and war will decrease, and also domestic crimes such as murder, muggings, and grand theft auto will decrease to almost a non existant status.

Approvals: 7 (Nauvus, The Derrak Quadrant, WZ Forums, Coco Mango, Nan Og, Naval Snipers, Black Reading)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 142 more approvals)

Wahey!!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you...made it onto the list on the first attempt. As you may or may not know, Bahgum takes exception to this absurd, self congratulatory and frankly boring 'silly' proposals tag. By all means please get rid of badly written/unimaginative/racist/typo ridden guff, but let's keep a little fun in here, it ain't the real world. (sorry I know i've written this all before, but can't resist).
Bahgum always aims to write proposals which you can happily take opposite sides with and have a little fun over (sometimes we fail), we know there is no chance of them being voted in, but hey, at least the topics make a change from most!!!!!

Here's to more nominations to the the 'silly' list. Or perhaps someone will take a hint and rename it the badly written list, and Bahgum will, hopefully, steer clear of it. Better get back to that camel proposal *wink*

Argument: Nodon't get me wrong here, I believe people should have the right to defend themselves. However, I deem this resolution inappropriate on the following grounds:

1.The strength is classified as 'mild' when it is clearly strong.

2.The words 'reasonable force' are too vague. Reasonable force can be interpreted as having many different meanings.

I hereby declare this resolution as having been improperly classified and too vague.
If anyone actually read the thread, they would realize that it is vague for a reason.

RECOGNIZING that the nations of the world can punish, rule, run, interfere with, etc.. on all the rights and freedoms of its citizens without worry;

MAINTAINING that most nations of the World only want what is best for their citizens even if it means total interference with the rights and freedoms that most people would have;

DETERMINING that nations, as individuals, should not need to depend on anyone other than their own governments to do what is best for the nation and the people living there;

CONCLUDING that it is in the best interest of all nations to ignore proposals that the UN is trying to force the world to live by and allow them rule themselves as they see fit:

1. DECLARES that a limitation should be put on the power of the UN;

2. REQUIRES all member states to have the right to ignore or ban any and all proposals the UN has passed and will pass within the confines of its own borders;

3. CREATES an oversight committee to monitor the power of the UN as a whole;

4. URGES the formation of independent nations that don’t bow down to the pressures of a world body;

5. ENCOURAGES member states to reduce it’s dependency on the UN and encourages true self government.
As well as that being really illegal, it would make it so the UN effectively does nothing but say "This would be nice" by passing resolutions.

Proposed by: Ellesmere Isle

Description: If enacted, all UN member nations will use one currency as the global standard.
Knowing that almost all, if not all UN nations have a trade industry.
Recognising that the initial change may be confusing to lots of people and that it may initially hurt the economy of member nations.
Benefits: We will all be able to go to any UN nation and buy a burger, or a car, or even a house (with proper legislation). When trading goods across borders, it will help to keep values or traded items easy to compare. It could possibly increase the industry 100%!
Plan: To shut down mints in all member nations until new plates are distributed to them, and then the new money will be started to be made. Old money will be allowed to still be spent, but governments will collect it over time and when 95% or more is collected, the government will outlaw use of the money to buy anything (but not outlaw the possession of it) and possibly instate a program so that old money can be traded in. We would try to get media to have articles on the new currency so people could get familiar with it over the course of the change.

For the good of the industry as a whole and the entire world, please enact this resolution. Great, two in one night.:rolleyes:

But making laws against it will not work, as there are too many non-UN nations that we cannot force our laws upon or that just do it illegally anyway. Therefore I propose we attach laser beams to whales so that the whales themselves can fight back.

"Project Frikin" as I like to call it was originally conceived after special agents confiscated some experimental sharks from a Dr. that had for some reason gone evil.

Now these Frikin laser beams could be attached to whales in various ways without any harm to the whales. Divers would use large straps to comfortably attach the lasers to the whales. We would set the Frikin laser beams up so that the whales can use them at their own will.

And thus whales would be able to fight off illegal whaling vessels and go on living their lives unhindered by such worries, all thanks to Frikin laser beams. WTF?

Personally I think the author should follow their own advice.:)

Bahgum thinks that some nations ought to spend their time finding a sense of humour, rather than picking on those nations who do have fun.

We ain't impressed by how highbrow this thread tries to be.

Bahgum thinks that some nations ought to spend their time finding a sense of humour, rather than picking on those nations who do have fun.

We ain't impressed by how highbrow this thread tries to be.

This thread's trying to be highbrow?! I thought the goal was to laugh at the silly proposals that would never have been posted if people read the rules.

"I thought the goal was to laugh at the silly proposals that would never have been posted if people read the rules."

And laughing at other people, with their proposal on show is pretty low behaviour. Not that far removed from playground sniggering, but masked by an attempt to show off how aware of these 'rules' folk are.

Many of the proposals which are picked upon are fully in the spirit of Nation States, which you may have noticed is written in a humourful way, it is only a collection of players who have added this pervasive air of must be serious to the game. You should respect those of us who wish to have some fun, or push the edge of what is normal.

Most importantly, everyone should have the right to post any proposal they wish, to the UN, without fear of ridicule. If it is illegal or badly written, then it should be calmly pointed out in the thread it is posted in, or in private to the nation concerned. To have a fear of writing your proposal because it may be laughed at is evidence of a stifling of free speech.
Now look, you almost have Bahgum on a serious note!!!

Krioval contends that there is no such thing as "freedom from ridicule". If a proposal is deemed poor AND has been submitted before being posted to the forum, I have every right to go at it, so far as I can tell. I'm far more restrained in the forum, especially if a poster is new.

You gotta admit, some of the proposals here have been hilarious, while at the same time highly annoying. Especially when you are a regional Delegate and you have to surf your way through 24 pages of proposals with 5 posted proposals per page.

2) You think we are going to willingly disarm the entire UN? kekekeke... What a wonderful idea...

Given that DLE isn't around, I guess I'll have to make the point about different methods of disposing of weapons, specifically within certain nations.

If that's too general, it basically translates as: people will dispose of their weapons, by fireing them into the proposing nation. Works best with the WMDs.

1) What's with the chosen title? :confused:

Possibly because RL UN Resolutions are referred to by their number, but if the Proposal passes now, it would be UN Resolution #97, not #133. Besides, they all get numbered anyway so it's best to have a title.

Description: UN Resolution #24: Metric System (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Through discussion with other nations, it was brought to my attention the previous motion was canceled. Those same nation went on to tell me what would make proposal better. We all realize that the Metric System is a world-wide system used amoung the UN. What about those nations that are not involved with the UN. What do we do about those nations that want to do trade with us? Wouldn't it make sence to change the wording of this resolution and allow those nations that do not follow our wonderful guidelines, to allow us to follow what ever standard of measurement they would have, whether it is the metric system, english system, corn system or whatever system they happen to use for their measurements. This is what the new resolution would read like....

"I propose that all countries within the United Nations be converted to the Metric standard. Those nations that are not included inside the United Nations can maintain their current standards, and allow for those nations within the United Nations to do commerce with those nations that are not in the United Nations. This would include all official research, roadways, and labeling. This would breakdown barriers in sharing of research and in the international marketplace. Tourism would also be benifited from the common standard. This proposal would mainly help countries of poor economic standing, whereas the common standard would improve their ability to compete in the international market place."

By changing this resolution we can take those nations that are struggling and help bring them to our weights and measurements, if they already do not have one. The standard would keep all United Nations in the metric system, but like said, would open the door for more commerce outside our community.

Description: Old People should be banned from walking down the streets on their own. They should either stay at home or move out the way for younger faster people to pass them.

Reasons:
1. Old People are slow and constantly get in the way when your in a rush.
2. They always take up the large majority of street making it harder to pass them.
3. They always have massive bags or trolleys that usually have nothing in them, these bags are always getting in the way, and usually hitting you in the legs.
4. What was supposed to be a 20 minute shopping trip become an hour because your always being blocked by these old people.

:confused:
Somehow, I don't remember that resolution saying we couldn't trade with nations not using the metric system...

Gun laws stopping burglary
Category: International Security
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Sumatra poo

Description: All guns are allowed (e.g. america) and a person at any age may own one. They can be used in self defence. for instance if someone robs your house you can shoot them. this will hopefully lessen the amount of burglarys.

You should also note that the proposal is also under International Security not Gun Control like it should be.

Category: Moral Decency
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Lord Zulu Mats-Wana

Description: Today, people across the globe are being terrorized and cheated out of millions, if not billions of dollars. I am speaking of the issue of lip singing.

People pay top dollar to get into concerts to get that real feel. Why should they pay when they could just get the same song for free online?

If it is not stopped, the general quality of music we decline as people don't have to worry about actually being able to sing, like ASHLEE SIMPSON.

So please, stop this people who think they can get away with robbery.

Certain Asian communist states have recently done so, and it is already saving people a poor concert. Please agree with them.
When this one gets to the vote, I am voting yes!

Boy, not here...besides, in the world of NS, who is Ashlee Simpson anyway?
(I'm just talking ICly. I know OOCly who she is)

Chronic=marijuana.

Chronic=marijuana.
Ahh.
Thank you kindly for enlightening me.
S'funny, I hadn't heard that term for it yet.

You're welcome. Actually, more specifically "chronic" relates to high-quality marijuana (though I'm getting this from Wikitionary). I'm guessing you don't really listen to Dr. Dre then- that's where I learned that the two terms were connected.

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

Argument: Slavery is a profitable business for people such as us (Pirates that is). Perhaps regulating the treatment of slaves would be better than to simply ban it. Slavery will continue anyway, twould it not be better to ensure that since it will continue, the slaves are treated well?

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #12
Proposed by: Poprockistan

Description: UN Resolution #12: Gay Rights (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: While acknowledging the fact that gay people should not be discriminated against based on their sexual preference, they should not be given the right to common marital and family values.

Marriage is a sacrosanct event, created by God, between a man and a woman. Allowing gay people to have this right would be totally against all our age-old beliefs. Although they should be allowed to be together, but must leave marriage and religion alone.

To add to this, gay people should not be allowed to bring a child into their family. Children operate best when they have both a male and female influence. Having two parents of the same gender can, often, disrupt the child's growing process and give them a false view of social behaviours.
That opening line was one of the funniest things I've ever read in a serious proposal.
"While acknowledging the fact that gay people should not be discriminated against based on their sexual preference, they should not be given the right to common marital and family values."

Also, some guy named "Beach Bay" spammed the proposal queue with 3 copies of each of the two proposals he made. His "UN Taxation Ban" repeal is pretty good:
Category: Repeal
Resolution: #4
Proposed by: Beach Bay

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

Argument: I think the U.N should not be allowed to collect taxes directly from citizens of any member states because citizens already pay taxes to their member nations and paying taxes to the U.n should be a Nations doing and not a citizens doing.
Umm, isn't that basically what "UN Taxation Ban" says?

Industry Affected: Woodchipping


Proposed by: Finlayonnya

Description: we should chop more trees so we have more parks cities and fire woodSomeone obviously doesn't understand the purpose of the Environmental catagory. And on semiunrelated point why is it the "Woodchipping" industry? How many places have a whole industry just making wood chips? The only explanation I can think of that makes any kind of sense is that it was a typo made back when the game was first coded and nobody has ever fixed.

I'm sorry but, "wangster". If that's supposed to mean what I think it's supposed to mean, then i just learned a new euphanism for penis.
It prolly means that.

Also, from that proposal, we get this extremely high-quality sentence:
"Sex prodons your herazion and it feels real good."

DLE: That would depend. I'd think of "spam" as something like the "moo" proposal- something that is noticeably not serious. Great boats' proposals, however silly they may be, at least have arguments so they're quasi-serious- and thus, not spam. Besides, who said that no one can't try to repeal everything?

Spam rules also cover large numbers of a certain type posts, such as if I held a topic where I talk to myself. But that's why I said it depends on the mods.

Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Dimromaland

Description: Friends, the time has come to face the real challenge of getting Political Stability throughout our regions. This proposal is to be short, simple, and to the point!

Grammaton Clerics duties:
*To serve for the better good.
*Follow all orders.
*Make sure Political Stability is kept.
*Exterminate Political Enimies with out Thought.
*If Need be placed in command of Special Forces in both the Police and Military.
*Kill only when life is threatened of the Gravaton Cleric or that which is he protecting.

The Training for a grammaton Cleric is pretty complicated, but should not be a problem if governments teach them from birth.

The Technique being tought will be that of "Gun-Carta" this is quick mathmatical equations of angles that should be added with that of a gun to be used, this will ensure quicker kill rates, and with these calculated angles, the Grammaton Cleric can find the right angle to stand at to which is enemy will be lease likely to fire at. Also with the Training will be three forms of Kung-Fu, Ti-Chi, Kendow, and the Samuri style of sword fighting. this way the Cleric will be able to fight with a Gun, Sword, anything that he can pick up, or his fist.

With this being introduced to the U.N. if every country starts this then all Wars will be on equal grounds and on that point--pointless, so this would get rid of political unrest, crime, and will equal out warfare.

Proposed by: Isle of May

Description: The General Assembly,

As a gesture of good will towards the people of the world, we the inhabitants of The Glorona Gulf are offering to colourize the moon a beautiful and serene ice blue.

After extensive research, we have found that the choice colour ice blue will have no negative impact on the environment.

On the contrary, human emotive responses to exposure of this environment in thorough research have shown to elicit endorphins from the brain that increases the proverbial sense of love. Such stimulation transcends lovers on the beach and encourages a more open society where violence gives way to discussion. Colourizing the moon will bring humanity together as a species under the most serene and beautiful pale blue luminescence.

We realize the implications for this in terms of setting dangerous precedent, so there is a timeline. The moon shall be a luminescent ice blue for a period of no more than two years. Upon completion of this time period, the issue will be tabled once to let the moon revert back to its original mottled grey and white, or to remain a most illustrious ice blue. Various information and experiments confirms our scientific research should be brought to this meeting as well.

This trial colouration for a period of no more than two years will become effective immediately; our ships are ready to go. We are bearing the full economic cost of this endeavour as a gesture of goodwill. Environmental impacts of the launch and painting of the moon have also been analyzed and is so developed that the only items to be left on the moon are footprints, and non-toxic biodegradable colouring.

All science has proven to show that this colouring leads to peace amongst test subjects, and to bring this to the world is the first step towards a more peaceful and beautiful world. We implore you to support this motion, to support humanity and peace for all.

Whereas a justifiable case has been made

Be it resolved to allow Glorona Gulf to colourize the moon an ice blue for a period of no more than two years, where it will revert back to its original colour pending the resolution to be made in two years time, in an effort to foster global peace and faith in humankind.

Hey, at least it's not Cristo in Central Park!

Proposed by: Upper Strathyclyde

Description: Recognizing the civil wars, acts of terrorism and general friction between nations, this proposal states and International Protection Alliance. The description is as follows.

1. All current nations of the world would contribute to an international army, which would portect the citizens of countries deemed to be in life threatning predicaments. This planetary army would act as a peace force in civil wars or strifes, and carefully monitor nations deemed dangerous. ALL countries would be required to contribute as follows:
a. All contries would contribute 5 percent of their navy, airforce and army, both in manpower and hardware, to the International Protection Alliance.
b. All countries would pay at least 10 percent of their annual profits to the organization. If a country was declared bankrupt, or losing money per annum, obviously they would be exempt from such payments.

2. The troops of the IPA would be stationed in strategic locations of strife, determined by an eliete panel of generals voted from the member countries. These troops would protect the peace, and if need be, carry out offensive operations on hostile rebel forces.

3. The IPA would also be responsible for defence of the planet. It would build deterrents against stray meteors or astroids. These defences would also be able to shoot down stray intercontinental ballistic missiles, or any unidentified missile.

4. The IPA would regulate the maufacture of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. If ay nation deemed too dangerous to acquire such weapons, they would be given 72 hours to disable the weapons, or face invasion.

5. Any rogue nation that refused to comly with the weapons regulations mentioned above, should face invasion by IPA forces, and subsiquent occupation. This land would become a IPA colony, presided over by a Govener-General. After a minimum of 100 yrs. has passed, or a democratic regime has been erected within that timespan, the nation will be returned to independance.

If no nations vote on the issue then it can be the sole decision of either the region's founder or the UN delegate whether or not that country should be exiled. The voting should take place within a 48 hour window, and be completly democratic. By doing this it will enable regions to become stronger and more productive.
:headbang: :headbang: :headbang:
On top of the fact that the UN isn't the place for this, you can already do that, if you use an offsite forum or something. Reducing nation booting to always be a democratic process would make getting invaders out pretty close to impossible.

So that's why there are 10 pages of new proposals since this morning.:rolleyes:

Anywho here's a good one.
Category: International Security


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Ogalalla

Description: The Nomadic Peoples of Ogalalla see that there is a need for the U.N. to set up computerized database of every person on the planet. This database would only be able to be used by the Border patrol of each nation. This database would simply list if the person has links to a dangerous criminal organization or terrorist cell or something else of this nature. It would serve as a way for Nations to keep people out of their country that are not welcome. Having one database that would be constantly updated would be a great tool for keeping Earth safe and secure.Well first off, DLE you're obviously exempted from this resolution as it only covers Earth. Secondly the proposer abviously has no clue just how many people are on this planet, hell my nation alone is over 2.5 billion and that doesn't count my puppet either, so this database would probably be so large as to be practally unusable simply due to its immense size, not to mention the fact that it would need to be constantly updated even while it's being compiled in the first place. (Ahh, I needed to get a good rant off my chest)

Category: The Furtherment of Democracy


Strength: Mild


Proposed by: Ogalalla

Description: The Nomadic Peoples of Ogalalla see the need for a choir to be formed. This choir's task would be to stand outside of the border of non-democratic countries and sing abou how great democracy is towards them. Each nation must hold a tryout for their one best singer. This person will move on to a regional competition. The winner of each regional competition will be a member of the choir. The choir will walk to most of its destinations and live off of donations and food that they find, meaing that they will not need any financial support.Ok, moving on.

Category: Political Stability


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Ogalalla

Description: The Nomadic Peoples of Ogalalla see that need that everyone in the world must be accounted for. The United Nations will make a Census information sheet that contains all questions asked in a standard census. This sheet will be translated into all languages. The sheets will be distributed to all nations. After the information has been returned, it can be processed by the U.N. The information will then be posted in a worldwide information factbook. The factbook will be sold through the U.N. The money made from the book can be used to help pay for the costs associated with performing a cencus. This census would allow countries to take into full account everyone in their country. This would lead to a stronger Earth in the matters of law and order and human rights.Anyone else feel that this is bordering on Game Mechanics?

blah blah blah a Security Force controlled by the United Nations blah blah blahExact wording doesn't matter it's illegal.

Category: Moral Decency


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Ogalalla

Description: The Nomadic Peoples of Ogalalla
RECOGNIZE that there is One Supreme Creator
RECOGNIZE that the One Supreme Creator is the God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob
RECOGNIZE that this God is not in favor of same-sex marriages, through his Living Word, the Bible
RECOGNIZE that same-sex marriage ceremonies have been taking place
RECOGNIZE that God is not in favor of these relationships

This proposal would repeal Resolutions 7, 12, 69, 80, and 81
We ask that new same-sex marriages be forbidden. This would not affect current same-sex marriages.

We would like to point out a quote from the New International Version of the Bible that shows our previous points.
18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator–who is forever praised. Amen.

26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, Godhaters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

This passage speaks about group of people that had given up on him. They committed sins against God, including homosexuality. I recognize that all people sin, but that this sin should be minimalized in whatever ways possible.Illegal attempt to repeal multiple resolutions with one resolution. Interestingly enough it's the first time I've ever seen The Bible quoted in a UN proposal. And triple posted too.

The above passage explains why most people don't believe the Bible can be used as proof for anything (I think it has merit as a historical text as well as it's accepted role as the Christian "guidebook" if you will), because it is a) vague and b) translated differently than previous versions. Now, I'm not sure which book this is found in, but I'm guessing it's probably an Epistle.

Verses 26-27:

26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

What does this say? It appears to be an ostensible passage banning homosexuality, but if you read deeper it condemns lust, which is different than homosexual love. It also does not say explicitly that the natural relations of men were exclusive to women, although, arguably, this is implied. Regardless, the passage does not say that "loving" someone of the same sex is wrong- it just said that "indecent acts" with and the "lusting of" members of the same sex is wrong. Also notice how lesbians are left out of the passage completely, as it does not define what is "natural relations" for a woman (it says that it's natural for a man and a woman to be one but it does not say that it's unnatural for two women to be a couple- it just says that about males).

Also, to quote one of the passages usually used to condemn homosexuality (1 Corinthians 6:9-10) as found in the Good News Bible:

"9 Do not fool yourselves; people who are immoral or who worship idols or are adulterers or homosexual perverts 10 or who steal or are greedy or are drunkards or who slander others or are thieves- none of these will possess God's Kingdom."

Again, the act of homosexual love is not condemned, just the act of homosexual perversion, or someone making unwanted homosexual advances. It also proves that translations are not always what they seem, and that if you really twist it, the Bible- or any book for that matter- can be used to condemn or glorify any act. Thus, it's not meant to be *morally binding*- it's meant as a moral guidebook, one where everyone's able to make up their own mind regarding to what they want to do. There are a few basic principles like the Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12), but everything else is just there to help you form your own chain of thought- not to tell you or anyone else how to think.

In fact, if I could go off tangent a little more, the passage in Corinthians was written in the height of Nero's reign, and Nero was known across the Empire for being, well, a pervert (on both sides of sexuality). Apparently he had a thing for boys as well and was called upon it at the arena in Rome (which was NOT the Colosseum, or, more correctly, the Flavian Amphitheare, as it wasn't built yet). Thus, the passage in Corinthians may be speaking out- indirectly- about Nero and the acts of many aristocrats who felt that their power allowed them to get away with anything. The Romans tended to agree with Paul here- they don't like perverts (they also didn't like watching the Christians get eaten by lions, as "any good Roman" wouldn't watch an execution because it's barbaric). So in it's context at least it's understandable as to why it was written. As for relevance today: it may have relevance and it may not- but that's up for you to decide.

"Even the Devil may quote Scripture".

Which, of course, brings up the whole question of it being "holy words", but I won't go there.

Tch, tch. How could you not see the serious intent of the elegantly written "turn the moon blue" proposal? Obviously, once it passes, everything that happens "once in a blue moon" will happen! Eg: "Once in a blue moon, an honest politician gets elected." J'accuse, YGSM: This is too sensible to be a proper Silly Proposal. You're (shock-horror) off topic!.

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #4
Proposed by: Beach Bay

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

Argument: The UN Has no business with collection of Taxes from individuals. The individuals of a particular country have a duty to pay taxes to their own individual coutries.
This is like the fourth time he's written a proposal repealing "UN taxation ban" using exactly the same thing "UN taxation ban" says.
:headbang:

Seems like peeps are jumping the gun a bit on the April Fool's proposals...
I just don't like the UN's resolutions that have been passed :mp5:

Child Labour Laws

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.


Category: Human Rights


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Starscreamkavu

Description: GIVEN that many states see fit to employ children only over the age of 18 in manual labor and industry,

GIVEN that these industries and labor are often highly detrimental to a child's body and health,

BELIEVING that it is a fundamental requirement not only to society but also to one’s health and education,

ASSERTING that it is moral and profitable to force children, by manipulation, authority or raw strength, to work for corporation or state,

Be it hereby resolved that the United States Constitution shall be amended as thus: guaranteeing that children WILL, forced or no, work in any mines, factories, chemical plants or ANY OTHER industrial occupation; moreover, it shall be prohibited for a child to refuse to take up labor in any such occupation while this law holds.
So now we're amending the U.S. constitution?

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #4
Proposed by: SpazzaWorld

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

Argument: The UN shall not be allowed to collect taxes directly from the citizens of any member state for any purpose.
What the fuck. This is even worse than the other ones, because that is not only the same argument as "UN Taxation Ban", but is also exactly the same text as "UN Taxation Ban"

:confused:

Whoa...

And again, yes, not to mention the fact that's it's illegal due to the fact that it trying to repeal resolutions when it's not in the repeal catagory.

Anyway here's an interesting one I found.
Category: Gun Control


Decision: Relax


Proposed by: United Drewtopia

Description: Many people around the world like to hunt. With tight gun control laws it makes it impossible for dumb rednecks to go deer hunting with a AK 47. I implore the UN to relax its gun control laws and make it fun for gun-yielding rednecks once again.Who would use an AK-47 to go deer hunting anyway? And for that matter, what gun control laws? I don't rmember the UN ever passing any gun control laws.

And before I forget a big thank you to Hack for stickying this.

I see that the thread which endorses juvenile sniggering at others has got a sticky. The UN should not be encouraging such low behaviour.

That's not why I stuck it.

I stuck it because it makes for a handy reference when I don't have time to sift through one hundred some-odd Proposals. This lets me see the worst violations for spot removal.

It's also amusing, even if it is juvenile. As my brother often says, "Maturity is knowing when to be immature."

And Baghum, it also serves as an example of what NOT to do in the UN. Stupid proposals are illegal, and they've been mocked all throughout the history of NationStates. By posting these here, you're giving a real example of what shouldn't be done, which (again, assuming people actually read the stickies, which they don't) would limit the occurence of them.

I see that the thread which endorses juvenile sniggering at others has got a sticky. The UN should not be encouraging such low behaviour.
You're just upset because I posted your proposal in here.

Umm ... it's just possible Bahgum is being ironic. Or even in character. He does have a talent that way.

Besides, if I'd posted a silly proposal, I might regard it as a tribute to find it being recognised as such here. Not the sort of proposal that is silly because it's badly written or disregards UN etiquette, but the sort that shows loving attention (like the Blue Moon one, which, obviously, I admire).

Of course, it's also possible that those of you who've replied to Bahgum are also being ironic, and I haven't picked it up. In which case I'll retreat into my shell. Irony is a double-edged sword.

Who would use an AK-47 to go deer hunting anyway?

OOC: I would. Damn things are nearly overruning my state, and that's even with the liberal passing out of licenses and tags every year. We're one of the states half-considering making soldiers train for war by hunting deer. Let them get a taste for blood and help nature out at the same time. And if they use missile launchers, the meat will already be cooked as well. Kudos to anyone who gets that reference.

And for that matter, what gun control laws? I don't rmember the UN ever passing any gun control laws.

UN gun control is simple. It's how hard and how long you press the trigger.

Irony is a double-edged sword.
And usually people cut me with both sides too.

Ban the Ginger people

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

Category: Moral Decency
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Joedabo

Description: Well, it has come to my current knowledge that people with ginger hair are inadaquate human beings. They pollute our lands with grotesque smells and leave their stagnant hair on our chairs. It is time we acted against these sub- human scum. I propose we order a census to be taken of all humans with ginger hair and when finished, line them up and shoot them. Then, their bodies should be burnt and used as pig feed. We do not want any trace of these immoral people left.
Please, for the good of the UN vote on the proposal and help me clear the world of these nasty people.

Approvals: 0

Offensive and threatening, as well as just plain stupid.

By posting these here, you're giving a real example of what shouldn't be done, which (again, assuming people actually read the stickies, which they don't) would limit the occurence of them.

And there lies another of my bugbears. The so-called 'rules'. Who decides illegal, and who decides the title 'stupid'? The definitions of stupid and illegal have been stretched over the past year from badly written guff (which hardly anyone objects to getting rid of) to now include anything which is in keeping with the hallowed founder of Nation States sense of fun i.e. actually amusing.

It seems only dull proposals on repetitive real world issues are 'allowed'. Which is a shame, a little fun stimulates your inventive talents. Bahgum is amused that many of those who perpetuate such mind crushing seriousness and frown upon any frivolity are queuing up to descend into the aforementioned juvenile commenting on others writing (not all of the comments are in this category, but too many). The place to do this, if they must act in such a sad manner, is in the thread of the writers proposal announcement or directly to them, where the writer may see it and respond. It is wrong to post them up in one place, where the original writer may not visit and attempt to embarass them. A badly written proposal is shame enough, and perhaps the writer may go on to learn if given friendly hints. If this thread did that, then great, but sadly it doesn't, perhaps the moderators wish to take note.

By the way, with the current situation re: silly, Bahgum would be upset not to make this list and joyfully aims to provide more!!

Preservation Of Life

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

Category: Moral Decency
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: TilEnca

Description: Arguing that there is strong evidence that genetics play a strong part in a person's life,
Affirming that innocent citizens should be protected at all costs,
Accepting there is a case for executing criminals who are a danger to society,
Confirming that nature vs nurture has not yet been proven one way or the other,
Affirms that

1) Natural Children of people convicted for any of the criminal offences listed will be executed. Adopted children will be imprisoned for monitoring.

2) The spouse of the convicted criminal will not be permitted to have any more children with the convicted criminal. If they re-marry the children will be put on watch lists when they are born to ensure there is no possibility of the children inheriting criminal tendancies.

3) The crimes included in this are : murder, rape, kidnapping, torture, genocide, child abuse, spousal abuse. This list can be expanded by the member nations, but can not be reduced.


Note that child abuse is on the list of crimes for which the children of the perptrator are to be executed. In other words, if someone abuses his/her child, the *victim* is to be executed. (And, depending on the local nations punishment for child abuse, the abuser might *not* be.)

And, by the same nation:

Save Our Children!

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

Category: Moral Decency
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: TilEnca

Description: Noting with concern the amount of juvenile delinquency in the UN,
Accepting that putting children to work would solve a lot of the problems associated with the above,
Realising that, despite the Resolution to Outlaw Paedophillia, there is still a large child abuse problems in most member nations,
Noting that children may not be put to work in dangerous environments (Child Labour),
Affirming that Prositution has twice been legalized in The UN,
Requires that Child Prostituion be legalized in all UN nations.

1) Government centers will be set up to administrate this. All children over the age of five will be employed in these facilities.

2) Paedophillia is defined as the illegal molestation of a child by someone else. As these legalizes child prostitution, the previous resolution will not be breached.

3) The tax income from these centers will provide wages for the children, so the End Slavery resolution will not be breached.

4) By ensuring the prostitution takes place in a government center the children will be protected and safe, so the Child Protection resolution will not be breached.

5) By ensuring the parents give permission for this to take place, the Child Protection resolution will not be breached.

6) The Sex Industry Worker Act indicates that child prositution is not covered by that resolution, however with the legalization this will ensure that resolution is not breached.

Approvals: 1 (Gaiah)

Enodia, largely. However, since he's left the game, it's generally been up to me. With some help from the other Mods. If you look at the stickies in this forum, you'll see a discussion of new rules.

now include anything which is in keeping with the hallowed founder of Nation States sense of fun i.e. actually amusing.

Example?

If this thread did that, then great, but sadly it doesn't, perhaps the moderators wish to take note.

I've already explained my reasons for giving this thread a sticky. Pity you've chosen to ignore them.

By the way, with the current situation re: silly, Bahgum would be upset not to make this list and joyfully aims to provide more!!

As most Proposals on this list are ejected, you'd quickly find yourself out of the UN.

Did not bring up the sticky again, but brought up, again, the woeful situation of mocking people outside of the main proposal thread, or not directly to them. I still maintain this is wrong, and would be seen to be wrong in anyplace outside of a schoolyard or downmarket publication.

But often (almost always) are there no threads for the silly resolutions. The author merely submits them without drafting them here for our criticism. SO therefore we can hardly make comments on non existent threads!

Anyway, laughing at the mistakes of others is a fine comedy tradition- just look at slapstick. ;)

If there is no thread, then send a message direct to the writer, at least they can attempt to defend themselves, or get the message that it isn't appreciated.

Getting back ontopic, here's a proposal I find silly...

A few things I want to point out...

- The right to own possessions.

This'll really tick off Marxist nations...

- Prohibition for children under 14 years old to work in any occupation since their activity is to grow and receive education.
Like the 40 hour workweek, some children under 14 actually WANT to work. Besides, this would prevent children from helping around the house (housework IS an occupation).

-The outlawing of the selling or purchasing of people.
This is effectively outlawing prostitution (prostitutes sell theirselves for sex, right?).

Therefore, this proposal actually limits human rights, so shouldn't it come under Moral Decency?

If there is no thread, then send a message direct to the writer, at least they can attempt to defend themselves, or get the message that it isn't appreciated.

Bahgum, if you can't laugh at yourself, then how can you laugh at all? I know that you're upset that you've been listed here, but understand that this thread is only supposed to be in good fun. I know that when I look at this thread I don't think to myself that the authors here are dumb- I just laugh at the proposals. In other words, I mock the proposal and its faulty logic, not the person who wrote it (in fact, in a previous thread I submitted proposals with the author's name scratched out because I thought it may have been offensive, but I was told it wasn't, because rule violators- which most of these proposals are- should have to stand up for what they've done). Besides, something that is, well, *stupid* should be laughed at, if only to provide an example for what future proposal writers should not do later.

You consider yourself light-hearted, right? Well, just take this in stride and don't let it bother you- really, will getting worked up about this thread have any effect at all on your life? Don't worry so much.

Getting back ontopic, here's a proposal I find silly...

Most of it is already covered in other Resolutions, notably the freedom of movement and of ownership (Universal Bill of Rights). Thus, the proposal you listed is silly as it is useless.

Here's one for the illegal catagory
Category: Political Stability


Strength: Mild


Proposed by: Botswombata

Description: Distinguished Citizens of the UN,

It the interest of honesty & fair play I submitted this proposal to the floor for your consideration.

With the passing of the last 2 resolutions it has come to my attention that a certain level of dishonesty has entered our hallowed halls.

Although I am not certain if this deception was in fact intentional I believe it has harmed the integrity of our political organization.Do you mean that you expect politicians to be honest?:eek:

What am I speaking of you ask?
What I speak of are resolutions that have raised our taxes without us ever having the knowledge it was going to happen.

A certain resolution that I think you are all aware of promised that it would get all it's funding from donations of a voluntary nature.

As the UN has no source for collecting donations from it citizens, it was left with a large bill to pay for the project that the resolution created.

So then how was it paid for?
It was paid for with the tax dollars of all citizens in the UN.Hold up here I think we might have a resolution that if it passes actually violates itself here, after all thanks to the resolution "UN Taxation Ban" the UN cannot collect taxes from any nation's citizens.

My proposal then is very simple. I submit that all future proposals honestly state what changes it will have on our individual governmentsRight, like the admins will tell us exactly how our nation's stats will change.:rolleyes:

1) If taxes will rise from the bill, state taxes will rise.Doesn't this happen with all UN resolutions? (exept for the Taxation Ban)
2) If political freedoms are given or taken away, show honesty that this will happen.I believe that this can nbe determined simply by looking at the catagory, Furtherment of Democracy increases them and Political Stability reduces them.
3) If Nation’s economies will be hurt or helped, be honest & truthful.Again, check the catagory, Environmental hurts, Free Trade helps.:rolleyes:
4) If a nation’s Civil Rights are to be added to or taken away, be truthful & honest.How many times do I have to say it, look at the bloody catagory, Human Rights improves, Moral Decency restricts.:headbang:

We the Nations of the UN have an obligation to be truthful to each other & like wise we have the right to be told the truth.Where does it say this I can't find it anywhere?

To enforce these rules I submit this proposal.
Any Delegate that finds a resolution to be a violation of “ The Truth in Honesty Act:” can submit a standard UN proposal stating the exact nature of the violation & ask that the offender voluntarily step down as their regional delegate.First off the proposer miht not be their region's delegate because you don't have to be regional delegate to submit resolutions. Secondly, you can't write proposals that target specific nations.
The format will be as follows:
“We find that resolution Number (fill in blank here) is In violation of the Truth in Resolution Act & hereby request that the Delegate who created this proposal (fill in name of nation here) step down as the delegate of their region. (please state the nature of the violation here.)
At this point the Delegate can choose to step down & the proposal will be dropped. If not the following process will occur.
The general assembly of delegates will decide like with any proposal weather to support it or not. Once it gains the necessary votes like any other UN proposal it will go to the floor for the entire UN to vote on.
Again, If the UN votes “No”the resolution is not in violation, no further action on the measure will be taken. If the UN votes “Yes” the offending nation will again be asked to voluntarily step as your regional delegate.
Although the UN cannot force you to step down there will at least be a record that you were asked until a time when the ruling can be repealed.And anyone submitting such a proposal will find themselves guilty of submitting an illegal proposal.
I ask this motion that will limit our political freedoms for the sake of honesty & integrity be taken seriouslyThat's not going to happen now.:D
By the UN & I thank you for your time. I want the time I spent reading this blatently illegal resolution back.

Wow. Just...wow. It's amazing what some people will try to push.

That Truth in Resolution Act is simply hilarious, especially due to its length.

Baghum: i believe that removal of this thread based on your argument would be in violation of NSUN resolution #36

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #59
Proposed by: Federationz

Description: UN Resolution #59: The 40 Hour Workweek (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: "The 40 Hour Workweek
A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare."

The resolution is socialist nonsense. It interferes with individuals basic rights. Each person should be free to decide how many hours they wish to work. The limit of 40 interferes with all aspects of the Public Sector and especially national health services.

The limit contributes to a poorer and slower economic growth for UN member states than those with no such limit and "inequality" is best tackled by other methods.

Free Trade for the best
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.


Category: Free Trade
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Necrum

Description: Seeing how having a Free Trade Alliance between nations or even regions can help out one on another in the economy, an Alliance like this one would be appropriate.

Knowing the facts of inflation and what not, this will help boost the economy of the world, or if not many, many countries. Just saying if one nation falls due to poor economy, they wouldn't be completely helpless against other ones, anybody wouldn't have to help. With having a Free Trade Alliance this problem will not happen, seeing how if one country did go down, the attacking one would go down as well.

Also this could balance the world powers and ties between other nations or perhaps even regions. Observing that some are more powerful than others without this alliance, some could easily dominate others. But that wouldn't happen if they all had the money to fight with, because some currencies aren't worth much of others.

I have done my own work here, but now it's time for you, my fellow United Nations Members, to decide if this world should have an alliance like this or thing that this was a complete and total waste of time. As time will go by also, we will select what the currency is called.

Proposed by: Outer Zanarkand

Description: The purpose is to place a supreme limit on how large and powerful the UN will be able to become. This will protect the dignity of nations, discourage and deter tyranny, allow nations to responsibly pursue their own destiny, and protect and preserve the ideal of freedom among all peoples and their respective countries.This ought to be good.:rolleyes:

Therefore, the following is proposed,



Statute:

1) The UN will be prohibited from creating a convential, professional army or any assault or fighting corps that is suborinate only to it, or the equivalence thereof.Already in place and enforced by the mods.

2) In addition to the UN Tax Ban Resolution already in effect, the UN will be prohibted to reserving the right of taxation of member states without the approval of their own legal ruling in their own respective parliaments, or the equivalence thereof.I think I'll quote Vastiva on this one. Now the UN will have no source of money except those lemonade stands out front and the hookers out back...

3) UN peacekeepers will no longer be demanded from member states as a right of the UN or as a condition for state membership, but will only be granted by member states in the same manner as precribed in article 2.What peacekeepers? Why didn't anyone tell me that we had peacekeepers?

4) The UN will be prohibited from purchasing territory for itself.I actually don't have a problem with this one, as long as we can keep the land the UN building is located on.

5) The UN will be prohibted from issuing to any citizen any distictive passports, any sort of "UN, or World Citizenship", or any documents of such sovereign nature.Don't have a problem here either.

6) The UN will be prohibited from evolving into an autonomous organization that is no longer dependent on members states and possesses a state of sovereignty.considering the fact that without the members their wouldn't be a UN I don't see this happening any time soon.

Bahgum, if you can't laugh at yourself, then how can you laugh at all? I know that you're upset that you've been listed here, but understand that this thread is only supposed to be in good fun. I know that when I look at this thread I don't think to myself that the authors here are dumb- I just laugh at the proposals. In other words, I mock the proposal and its faulty logic, not the person who wrote it (in fact, in a previous thread I submitted proposals with the author's name scratched out because I thought it may have been offensive, but I was told it wasn't, because rule violators- which most of these proposals are- should have to stand up for what they've done). Besides, something that is, well, *stupid* should be laughed at, if only to provide an example for what future proposal writers should not do later.

Completely missed the point. Bahgum is not upset in the slightest at being included on this list, actually with the over the top, made up, rules as they are, we were delighted. What Bahgum is actually upset about is that this UN is now actively discouraging any attempt at humour in proposals and follwing it up with a petulant threat to kick nations out of the UN for having fun. Yes, Bahgum does consider itself lighthearted but is feeling that it's duty is to defend the right to submit humouress and frivolous proposals. This is causing us to act uncharacteristically seriously, but if we don't then ours and others fun proposals will be no more, which we consider tol be a loss to the game.

Bahgum will continue to visit this thread to highlight the hypocrisy of forcing the NS UN into a quagmire of seriousness whilst simultaneously sinking to the aforementioned lowest of behaviour. Perhaps the points Bahgum has raised about the wrongness of the activities in this thread have distracted from our real cause for concern, above? (sorry, not too used to being serious).

I actually don't have a problem with this one, as long as we can keep the land the UN building is located on.

Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Hyperbia

Description: Save the Earth for Our Children!

My fellow UN members,

It has come to our attention that the population of the world has reached alarmingly high numbers and continues to grow exponentially. The Earth's resources will reach a drastically low quantity and billions will die.

In an effort to prevent this horrible event we have devised a multi-teired plan.

Phase 0:All laws banning abortins and contraceptives will be nullified and both will be offered to the public free of charge in a well advertised location witin ever community consisting of at least 2 persons, and at least 1 locatoion for every 1000 persons.
No law or bill may be passed banning abortions or contraceptives.
Phase 1:All living females will be given the choice of being electronically tagged within 3 months of the passing of this proposal, or die. A database will be created that will track their children.

Phase 2:Any female who has already had at least one child will be have the choice to either have a hysterectomy or die.

Phase 3:All women born within 5 months of the passage of this proposal will be deemed type 1. Any type one female who gives birth will have a hysterectomy within 1 month of the birth of their child or die. The female child of any type 1 female will be a type 2 and will be similarly tagged.

Phase 4:Type 2s will be subject to all rules of type 1s with the exception that their female childen will be type 3s, and similarly tagged.

Phase 5:Type 3s will be given the choice to have a hysterectomy or die, within one month of the birth of their second child. Their childern will be type 4s and subjet to the same tagging.

Phase 6:Type 4s and thier childern, type 5s, will also be given the choice of having a hysterectomy or dying within one month of the birth of their second child, all females will be simlarly tagged. The childern of type 5s will be type 6s.

Phase 7:Type 6s will be given to option to have a hysterectomy or die after the birth of their thrid child. These childern will also be type 6s and so tagged.

Phase 8:If at the point that the Earth's population ever excedes 6 billion all living females will be categorised as type 1 and the process will reset to phase 2.

In order for this proposal to have an actual benefit and in order to maintain the strength of the UN this proposal will have effect upon the entire world, not just the UN and will be enforced by whatever means necessary in descenting countries.
In order to do this all member nations will transfer 25% of their military budgets to create a UN task force to enforce this proposal. This task force will be exempt from any UN law that bans the use of weapons of any kind.
The UN will elect a military leader in good standing to command these forces and will maintain the athority to recall him at any time.

This may seem extremely harsh but the population of the world is spinning out of control and without doing something drastic at this time our descendants will live in a time where there really will not be enough food to eat, water to drink, or even air to breathe.
Thank you for listening and I hope that you approve this proposal,
TheUnspeakable CEO, Commander, and Cheif of The People of HyperbiaI count at least three seperate rule violations here.
1. attempted enforcement upon non-member nations.
2. creation of a UN army.
3. just plain offensive.

What peacekeepers? Why didn't anyone tell me that we had peacekeepers?

Of course we have peacekeepers. My nation keeps the peace by having fleets of doom in orbit over Earth, which are considered rogue and charged with exterminating any nation that proves a threat to the UN. You can see the radiation shockwaves of peace at least once a month.

And if you think that is bad, we also use Nuclear Warheads of Knowledge. If they fail to see the light, they can't miss the mushroom cloud.

Well, this *is* the UN- a level of seriousness *should* be used. I mean, I think you and I both agree that we shouldn't be seeing something that grants rights to nail clippers- what function would that have? Also, I don't believe light-hearted proposals- such as Mikitivity's Beer Accord (whatever it was called)- cannot be done, they just have to be something that the UN should be taking seriously, even if it's lighthearted.

...and, I don't think this thread is hypocritical. It would be hypocritical if we *allowed* a stupid proposal to pass- it's not hypocritical of us to have a "stupid proposal" thread and ban their submission as "official" proposals- we're not making a rule that we're repeatedly breaking (which is hypocrisy). As I've said before this is merely a thread where rulebreakers have to answer for what they've done.

To finish on a lighter note: Baghum, you're creative- I'm sure you can think up a light-hearted proposal that works.

wow even wz forums didn apporve dis res

I remember Westrogocidae (I could never spell his name correctly, so that might be misspelled). He'd approve every proposal as a point about stupid proposals; he figured maybe people would stop submitting them if the full UN had to vote on all of them.

Resolution: #18


Proposed by: Croasia

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

Argument: Unfortunately, unlike fossil fuels, hydrogen isn't replenishable. When something dies, after a while its remains turn into fossil fuels such as coal, thereby giving the world an infinite source of fossil fuels. However, when hydorgen is destroyed in order to be used in cars, it cannot be fused with oxygen to form water again. So, if the trend of using hydrogen-powered cars continues, then eventually we will have to drain bodies of water for hydrogen. Since water is infinitely more necessary for life than fossil fuels, we should limit the amount of hydorgen that we use.Isn't water vapor one of the by products of buring hydrogen, after all to burn it you are combining hyrdogen and oxygen?:confused:

In addition, hydrogen is a highly flammable gas, more so than fuel. If there was an accident, then many people could die as a result of the explosion. Almost the same thing happened on the zeppelin the Hindenberg. Due to some of the hydrogen used to power the massive airship accidentally igniting, several people lost their lives.Ignoring the fact that the Hindenberg is a real life reference, the Hindenberg was not burning the hydrogen (at least not intentionally :)) it was simply being used to provide the airship's lift.

I agree that we must cut down on air pollution, but we must do it in a different way. If we want to power our cars using replenishable resources that are environmentally safe, then we should make solar/electric cars, not hydrogen ones!Actually the resolution doesn't say anywhere that we have to actually be producing hydrogen powered vehicles, just that we need to be developing them.

Proposed by: Al Meh

Description: In these days the world is no longer in need of the old religions it once so fondly stuck to. Science has proven there is no such thing as a God which means that people who are worshipping statues and holy scriptures are wasting their time! The only good thing left about religion are the moral values it teaches. Those can be readily included in a mandatory new "spiritual" movement called Realism. Why worship gods when you should focus on treating your fellow men like human beings? This will end religious wars and violence (and remember: the worst crimes in history were committed under the wings of religious movements!).

future generations will learn to respect eachother instead of some omnipotent being.

(if they still want to worship someone they can always kiss the feet of their leaders of course ;))

the vacant religious buildings can be used for publib purposes such as libraries, educational institutions and of course nice places to live for the big chiefs

Category: Moral Decency
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Sinitsyn

Description: Good UN members, I have come to you with a proposal that shall benefit the world as a whole and I ask you for support on this cause.

RECOGNIZING:
1. That mental retardation is a condition that many people of the world have, people even in your own countries.
2. Those who are mentally retarded are often plagued with discrimination and down right ugly insults.
3. The mentally retarded are usually not capable of living a normal life and holding a normal job.
4. Finally, that there is no known medical cure for retardation.

WHAT NEEDS BE DONE:
1. To make mentally retarded people under the IQ of 80 and over the age of 15 useful for society, they will be given a manual labor job that they cannot be fired from. (Ex: Mining, digging trenches, assisting in construction, etc.) They will get paid the same as any other person doing that job. All children of at least the age of 10 that have shown signs of mental retardation will have to register themselves, so that at age 16 they may be sent to one of these communities.

2. To stop discrimination and the hate, mentally retarded people will be given free housing around the area that they work, the housing will be like the average 3 room apartment, larger depending on if that person has a family already. That area will have a small wall surrounding it; on the inside the compound will be exactly like any small town, with shops, movie theaters, hospitals etc. The prices will be the same as on the outside.

3. Knowing that most mental retardation occurs genetically, those who were born retarded will not be allowed to reproduce, if they violate that then the female will be given a mandatory abortion and the male will receive a mandatory vasectomies at no cost to either of them. Those who are not born retarded but became that way during an external influence (such as a car accident) will keep their right to reproduce as they will.

4. To stop the temptation to overworking these people, the overseers assigned to every group will carry only a pistol for security purposes. Every week an inspector will come to these communities and if any people were seriously hurt they will receive free medical care and the overseer will be fired and put to trial.

5. Inside the community, after work the people are free to do as they wish until their next shift, all laws of the country will be enforced inside the walls and the mentally retarded will be treated equally to any other citizen. Family members will be allowed a visit every day in the evening.

6. Finally, I must imply again that THE MENTALLLY RETARTED WILL NOT BE TREATED LIKE SLAVES!!!!! Meaning that inside of the community none of the rights that any citizen of your country has will be imposed on and they will not be forced to work in places that are extremely dangerous or hazardous. An area becomes hazardous if 1/20 that work there dies.

EFFECTS:
1. This resolution will almost totally eradicate mental retardation within 2 generations, for those who will die from old age will not have children and mental retardation will no longer spread genetically, making your country a less hating an more productive place.

2. If there are less than 100 people in a community, it will shut down and become a city of it's own and those in it will be sent to a new community, eventually only leaving one or two working, where those who become retarded non genetic causes will be sent to live.

Thank you for reading this, I hope for your nation's support.

I don't know what to say... I don't think "silly" is quite the right word for this one...

i have to admit, that ban traditional religions does have its merits (cept for the kissing of leaders feet. OOC: there is no F'n way i would kiss john howard's feet *pukes over that thought*)

A Global Police Force

Category: Global Disarmament
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Dermenstraught

Description: The worry of all nations, is that one day it will be attacked, invaded, and taken over by another. The resolution I sugjest, is a way of controling the and getting rid of wars. In so doing reducing the amount of money spent on weapons of defence and/or offense

To do this I am suggesting the creation of a global police force. They would police the nations and their armies. They will significantly reduce the military of all countries, therefore it will be impossible to commit acts of violence towards other nations, but also it will stop genosides.

It would be under the control of the UN, and would be financied by the member nations.

This is an opurtunity to get rid of wars, weapons of destruction, and relieve the burden on the Economy created by military spending.

The majority of the countries will benefit from: Increased security (both globaly and localy), a lifted burden on the economy and the supporting UN will be stronger.

This will take into affect, right after being voted "yes". All member nations will cut there military, and spend half of the saved money helping the UN build the global police force.

Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Gansine

Description: In order to ensure the safety of the average human, and considering the threats and dangers of today’s modern society, it is proposed that a person’s personal history and record should henceforth be digitalize into records available to the general public. The electronic archives shall be placed under the right eyes’ retina, and accessed by the recorder that shall be placed under the left eye’s retina. The following information shall be inserted in the electronic archives for the unconditional access of the public:
1. The individuals criminal record
2. The individuals sex, age, and marital status
3. The individuals viral and bacterial record
Personal information may be given in accordance to the individuals will.
Keep in mind that the intention of this proposal is not to invade privacy. The sole purpose of this proposal is to ensure the safety of the world’s populous by :

Informing the public of their acquaintances criminal records to decide whether or not their or their loved ones safety is in jeopardy.

Prevent the abuse of minors who appear older than their actual age.

Prevent the spread of viral and bacterial diseases by informing the public of an individuals medical records.

Sex and marital status are for the sake of formality (although it is the hope of this proposal that by making marital status public information the duration of marriages will increase).

In order to make this possible all Member nations to increase national security spending accordingly to cover the costs of these measures.

Please be aware that the entire process of inserting the recorder and electronic archive has been perfected, tested on living subjects (both human and animal), to the point that it is fully safe. No fatal side effects were encountered during the fifteen year testing period.

Freedom to Play
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.


Category: Human Rights
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Ferantia

Description: Description: Freedom to Play is a resolution to add game in school.

Definition: within Freedom to Play, by the word "game" we mean each form of cultural game.
Examples of "cultural game" may be Pen&Paper Roleplaying Games, Live Roleplaying Games, or Boardgames with a social component.

Exception: Gambling IS NOT the kind of game we are talking about; while on the other hand each not-so-strictly competitive game may be considered a cultural game.

Motivations: having thought about
- UN Resolution 25 (Child Protection Act)
- UN Resolution 36 (Freedom of Humor)
- UN Resolution 53 (Universal Freedom of Choice)
expecially comma 2 and 3
2) Strongly encourages leaders to imagine how different the world could be, if from an early age, people were free to exercise genuine choice in what they read, watched and learnt;
3) Recognises that the most basic human characteristic is that of curiosity - the ability to wonder, ask questions, and seek answers, and affirms its belief that no State should limit its people's freedom to do this;
- and UN Resolution 79 (Reformed Literary Initiative)
expecially comma 3:
3.Children with a deficiency in literacy of any kind have at their disposal increased efforts and attention (with respect to a non-deficient child) of well-trained educators, proportional to the severity of the deficiency;

and expecially having for so long thought about the following facts:
- a certain kind of games may be extremely useful in teaching;
- Pen&Paper Roleplaying Games are a kind of literature most often based on historical facts, being useful in learning.

we therefore propose to:
(1) add game to school, from the very beginning age of school until children will be 18;
(2) game should not be mandatory, of course, but no limitations should children be forced to;
(3) each single UN nations will have freedom to choose what kind of games will be comprehended

And so on, enforce trade embargoes on weapons and any goods that would enforce despotic reign in any area of the world,

Eventually, we should extend our policy towards despotic regimes who are not members. And within the UN chart, we should invite non member countries who are democracies, and wish not to join, to hold their seat as observers and associate them in our struggle for the most fair possible standards for humankind.

All people that mention any sort of terrorist groups must be eliminated.
Anyone that dresses, acts or attempts to be a terrorist must be eliminated.
All terrorist groups must be broken up and all eliminated.
This would be one more step into insuring world peace.

Excuse me, I have several press agencies and world leaders to eliminate, back in five...

It would also make Halloween and Costume parties rather... interesting.

"I am not a terrorist! I'm a Ninja!"
"Tell it to the Judge!"

And it's always so annoying how terrorist groups disrupt our daily lives through destrustion.

Proposed by: Kronigalis

Description: RECOGNIZING that crime has reached a new high in crime rates.

VIEWNG that more and more methods of crime are being established by criminals and killers all over the globe.

ESTABLISHING that organized crime is becomin more common, high tech gadgets are being used and that something must be done about rising crimerates.
............................................................
By boosting police and military spending the world can impliment the "International Micro Chip Act". This act will make implanting micro chips into the human body of every person on the planet. Each country will use a space station that will orbit above the country. If a crime happens, these space stations will be able to record the exact location of all persons in said country through the micro chips. This way that country will be able to know exactly who was at the store at the exact time of the robbery. This will make finding suspects and criminals much easier.
