Proposition Smoke-Free

A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.

Category: Social Justice

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Mans0nites

Description: I'm a heavy smoker of several years.. and I know the damage it's doing to me, and countless others.. I also know it's virtually impossible to quit.. but there is one way that would work, and that is to outlaw tobacco all together.
The Government profits from this killer drug, and have the hide to outlaw pot.. and allow alcohol consumption, and cigarette smoking to continue..
Your priorities should be the preservation of our kind.. not the demise of it.
BAN cigarettes so it FORCES us to quit!
Can you do that? or will it cut into your kick backs Government?
It might seem like a solution for the 'weak' but it isn't.
Some of us can't give this habit up, and forcing us into quitting, might be the only way to save us from smoke related illness' and possibly death.
It's a growing cancer within us, and a cancer on society..
Lets face it.. it's a potential nail in the coffin of every human being on the Planet.

Outlaw this filthy killer substance before it claims our children, and our childrens children.
If you don't do it for yourselves.. do it for them.

The Simple Proposal Act
A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.


Category: The Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: East Columbia

Description:
Purpose: To simplify U.N Proposals

Scope: This act limits the number of topics covered in a U.N proposed Resolution to one.

Issue: Many proposaled Resolutions contain multiple provisions within the same proposed Resolution, some provisions are acceptable, others unacceptable. Nations are currently not able to "pick and choose" between provisions within proposed Resolutions. This forces nations to accept "whole cloth" provisions which are repugnant to them, hindering the passage of legislation which would otherwise be wholly acceptable.

Examples: Discrimination Accord (#99), Children In War (#51), Stop dumping - Start Cleaning (#35), Global AIDS Initiative (#32), The Child Protection Act (#25),End slavery (#6)

Therefore,

1. Be it resolved by the members of the United Nations, all proposed resolutions shall be limited in their subject matter to a single topic.



And finally, we have the "HOW DARE YOU BE RICH!" proposal...


MAKE POVERTY HISTORY 2005
A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.


Category: Social Justice
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Bubville

Description: Every single day, 30,000 children are dying as a result of extreme poverty.

This year, 2005, we finally have the resources, knowledge and opportunity, to put a stop to this. We can no longer let this continue, greed can no longer take lives.

All UN Members MUST:
1) PROVIDE MORE AND BETTER AID
At least double the aid currently being provided, and ensure all aid is of the highest standard. We must also ensure it does not fall into the hands of corrupt governments, and not reach where it is needed.

2) DROP THE DEBT
100% of all debt owed by the world's poorest countries MUST be dropped. These impossible debts can never be payed back, and should not have been there in the first place.

3) TRADE JUSTICE
It cannot continue that the richest countries profit from those in poverty, while they become poorer. The trade rules must be changed, in favour of the poorest countries, therefor allowing them to develop, build their own industries, grow stronger, and one day compete as equals.

This year we can MAKE POVERTY HISTORY.

Wow. This person failed both history and basic physics. Apparently, so did everyone supporting this.

Also, their numbers are wrong. Compare this to the fact that antimatter bombs are 1,000 times more powerful than fission bombs and 300 times more powerful than hydrogen bombs. Unless the laws of physics or mathematics have changed on us.

Must have failed all forms of school, in addition to not bothering to read the FAQ. If they had passed, they would have realized that a single topic can have a wealth of information on it, depending on the topic broadness.

Yes. They're cheap knockoffs of the true versions and are misleading in appearance. A correct translation is necessary for all levels of understanding when it comes to just about anything involving language. Without it, you get just a shadow of the truth.

I'm tempted to offer a counterpoint to this, but you're right that we should stop the hijack here.

There might have been an excuse in the past for mistranslation, but in this era there isn't. We have the technology to spread the truth around and allow people to read it. If they don't accept it, it's not my soul they're risking.

Agreed. I think the problem here is similar to a problem we have in the NSUN, specifically that the average member thinks they understand the UN in all its complexity, but truly don't. Education is the key, but no one wants to educate themselves further because they think they already know.

The problem is simple: If one portion is mistranslated, it opens up the possibility other portions are. If the words of Christ are mistranslated, specifically the passages important for today, then pretty much most Christians are pretty much doomed to eternal damnation. The words of Christ are, even if you ignore the rest, pretty much the essential element.

I'll have to say "it depends" again. Even if the translations were mistaken in critical places that are used to support Jesus's divinity and salvific power, those who only see Christ as a good moral teacher to be followed are still pretty much where they were before.

I'd ask for a topic split, but I'm afraid of the flame war this will cause in the General forum. But, anyway, shall we get back to topic for now? We can always continue another day.

Certainly. We're basically agreed on most points about the Bible and mainstream Christianity, anyway. It's more the question of whether a mistranslation can change the essence of what a work is in addition to what it says. Sort of a literary existential discussion that would bore most people, and I'm probably too tired to perform adequately anyway. :)

Make Poverty History

With the money that those countries now do not need to pay back, reforms for healthcare, education and basic needs must be put into place to make the first step to making the world a more equal place.

Approvals: 1 (Markodonia)


Let's see... the logic here goes "If we give them money, they won't squander it like they did last time... and the time before that... and before that..."

IN KEEPING with the fact that any civilization that does not expand its horizons both socially, and in relation to new technologies.

IN REGARDS to the fact that the world continues to spend astronomical amounts of money on the Military Sector.

Repeal "Common Sense Act II"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal
Resolution: #30
Proposed by: The South Outpost

Description: UN Resolution #30: Common Sense Act II (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: This Act can be seen to give the courts of the UN an arbitrary power which they can no longer be allowed to have. There are more fitting ways by which these frivolous lawsuits can be avoided. I suggest that member nations that are plagued by such lawsuits to alter the structure of their courts, giving power to the judge to rule on matters of punishment, and give juries merely power over the verdict of a case.


The UN has courts? When did this happen? I know of a court, but courts? Maybe they mean tennis courts...

Because a slave can obviously never, ever, commit a crime.

Category: International Security


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Antrium

Description: Aware of the debate between UN members of whether or not to allow nuclear weapons,
Aware of the fact that non-UN members may possess nuclear weapons, and UN members are greatly outnumbered by non-members,

Proposes the following:
All nuclear weapons currently in possession by any UN member nation would be given to the UN.
The UN would build a secure place to store these weapons that only belongs to the UN, not any specific country.
The formation of a new committee, the Nuclear Weapon Committee (NWC).
Any country that needs nuclear weapons to defend itself from any non-UN member country would fill out an application, explaining its situation to the NWC, and they can decide whether to allow them to use some of the weapons or not.
At the storage facility, more weapons would be produced whenever the UN needs to.

This plan would ban using a nuclear weapon on ANY UN member nation, and restrict nuclear weapons for defense purposes only.As DLE would say, another useless committee.

Oh. My. God. Was becoming a delegate really worth all of this? There's a proposal where the author has expressed his/her love for their grannie.

All too often, smaller member nations are targeted in regions where UN members are not a majority. The UN must protect all of its members, or soon nations will begin to look at us as weak and futile. No country should have to face agressors alone, and the number of nations facing direct threats to their livelihood will drastically decrease when many countries ban together to stand with our allies in the face of danger.

Category: Free Trade
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Independent Declarists

CONSCIOUS that their are certain nations that will not trade with other countries, and are particularly antagonistic to such countries.

CREATES the following practices:

1) The monorails will be created using the surpluses available from each financially able nations. If the country doesn't want to use the surplus the citizens and corporations have the option to help contribute to its creation.

2) It is completely optional whether or not a country decides to build a monorail in their respective country.

3) Their will be both industrial and commercial trains, as with the railroad industry, in each nation who chooses to have a monorail.

4) When each train enters the neighboring nation they will be checked for drugs, arms, and anything forbidden in that country.

5) Only UN nations can have monorails, to be able to have this monorail system they must apply for UN delegacy.

6) The way and technology of the monorail that is built is up to the respective country. If said country decides they want an subway instead of a monorail it must work in accordance with neighboring countries so that the monorail reaches to become a subway, and vice versa, on its borders.

7.) Prices for fare will be delegated by a panel of representatives of each country within every nation. Prices and maintainence will be determined by a 3/4 vote for or against the laws each nation decides.

8.) Monitors for each train will be put on each train, which will be 3 undercover law enforcement agents from any nation within a individual region.

10.) A nation that wants to build a monorail and/or subway on a border must agree with the neighboring nation or region to connect their rails at the border.

Finally, the UN will inform each nation which countries and regions are hostile to their borders, as well as what products each country will trade with them. The UN will help settle all transportation disputes if brought up by a nation or region to the UN.

Description: It is important that no nation run out of potatoes.
On this point I propose that all nations have a potato farming a harvesting program on 10% of their land.
The potato is one of the most useful roots. It has starch which is great for clothes, it is eatable, which means you can boil them, bake them, mash them, make chips out of them, make potato bake, etc. Also they can be excellent paper weights and if you carve faces into them, children's toys!
So I put forward my proposition that an annual potato farming/harvesting project go forward in all nations!
Nations could even create their own festivals for the harvest!Insert funny comment here.

Proposed by: Hyperborea-Prussia

Description: This resolution grants all UN member nations the guarantee of the other UN member nations that they will be protected from intrusion and influence by other nations which may affect the inner political stability of the nation in a negative way and without being justified (see (V)).

Amongst other smaller measurements, we should agree that following points are necessary to protect every members souvereignity:

I. All secret police or intelligence operation inside another UN member nation that weakens the nations political structures or affects its abilities in making policies negatively will be punished by the UN with full force.

II. To ensure (I) all UN member nations will withdraw all intelligence and secret agents from other UN countries and will swear not to send any intelligence agents in the future.

III. All UN member nations aren't allowed to support any campaigns against other member nations that are aimed towards denouncing the nations government without any important reason (see (V)).

IV. All UN member nations agree to tolerate any given political system of all the other UN member nations and will grant other UN member nations the right to find their own political way. That doesn't mean that you must agree with the viewpoints of other nations, but you grant them the right to perform their style of policy without your interference or any other hostilities against that nation.

V. Any UN member nation that does not respect the UNs structures, organisation and resolutions is excluded from those protections ((I)-(IV)).

VI. Those protections are also granted to all non-UN nations in a milder form, as long as those nations are not against the purpose of the UN or heavily violate common UN points of view as stated in the UN resolutions.


V removes most of the members from it's "protections"... and VI pretty much finishes it off as "illegal".

I read this that he wishes drivers to do a minimum of 300 verified miles every week. What a spanner! :D
Also I carry my licience in my car and not on my person therefore it does not apply to me.

hmm....

Repeal "Abortion Rights"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal


Resolution: #61


Proposed by: Lansingville

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

Argument: Henceforth, all member nations shall also respect the
rights of fathers to interfere with abortions.

As "civilized" nations we have outlawed nuclear weapons,
chemical weapons, bio-chemical weapons, made laws to protect dolphins and whales, yet we make no law to protect the rights of fathers who want their pre-born child to live?

The FIRST DUTY OF LAW is to prevent the shedding of innocent
blood. It is, therefore, the duty of all civil nations and
governments to secure and to safeguard the lives of the
unborn.

Abortion is the unjust taking of an innocent humann life.
It is murder.

Ao noe should be allowed to kill a preborn baby any more than he or she
shall be allowed to kill any other class of human being. Human beings should not be treated as property which may be disposed of at will.

I also propose that if we repeal abortion rights, all nations should help remove as much of the red tape as possible to allow for easier adoptions to take place across
the globe.

More Secure Airplanes Act

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


Category: International Security


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: The Germanian State

Description: This proposal, if enacted and passed, would allow all citizens to carry a single gun (to be approved by the airline) onto an airplane in the interest of promoting security on airplanes. This proposal would also promote and require numerous ways to further secure the safety of both the passenger and the aircraft itself.


WHAT IT IS-
1) This proposal would only allow passengers with no criminal records or history of violent/aggressive behavior onto airplanes armed.

2) Would allow airlines to remove the firearms of those deemed as a security threat.

3) Would allow a single, government-appointed, airline-approved, armed-to-the-teeth person or persons to remain on the aircraft, not draw attention to themselves, and do what is necessary to protect the security of the airplane.

4) Would re-equip all cockpit doors with two-inch thick steel, bullet proof plates.

5)And would strongly advise, but not require, all pilots to board the airplane first, bolt the door shut, and not open it for anyone.

6) Would allow "Trusted Travelers," or those who are citizens in good standing, have no criminal record or history of violent and/or aggressive behavior, to subject themselves to a very thorough background check. The Trusted Traveler would then be able to skip the two-three hour process of insanely complicated security procedures when that person flew on any airline that has approved that person.

WHY-
1) A passenger would feel safe and would be able to contribute to the safety of an airplane.

2) The pilots would remain safe at all times and free to pilot the aircraft.

3) This proposal is desperately needed if we are to effectively combat the likes of terrorism.

4) Think about it. Would you try to highjack an airplane if you knew that every passenger might be armed?

The proceeding points both show why this proposal should be enacted, and what exactly it is.

It is quite clear that terrorism is deadly and very dangerous to millions of people world-wide. Opponents of this proposal may say that if everyone is armed, then they would all try to highjack the plane. To that, this proposal restates that only citizens trusted by the airline and approved after a background check can board an aircraft armed.

To further ensure the safety and security of aircraft and all their contents, be it passengers or important cargo, pass this proposal!

Resolution: #61


Proposed by: Foxstenikopolis

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

Argument: Abortion should be legal because it denies people the most basic right: The right to live. If abortion was legal, than it might actually encourage people to commit adoltery, knowing that they could commit adoltery, get abortion, then noone will ever know! If a women wus unresponsible enough to have unwanted pregnancy, she, and the father should learn responsibility, and go through with raising the child. And what about the child? What if he(she) grew up to discover a cure for cancer? You never know, so vote against Abortion.You've got to love that first sentence.http://bak42.notworksafe.com/images/NationStates/Smilies/laugh.gif

Embryonic Stem Cell Research

A resolution to ban, legalize, or encourage recreational drugs.


Category: Recreational Drug Use


Decision: Legalize


Proposed by: Eridanus Secundus

Description: As medicine advances further in the Scientific community, and Embryonic Stem Cell Research is the pinnacle of the research, A heated debate arises about the use of these cells. So who will scream the loudest? The scientists who want to legalize the use of stem cells to help improve our medicine? Or the human rights activists who beleive in all life should be treated the same.

Although, the stem cells are taken from live embryos, I beleive the research gained from Stem Cells could help improve medical needs everywhere without fear of tissue, blood, or organ rejections. Though it might seem like taking life to save life, I can assure you the wealth of knowledge to benefit all of mankind is worth it. We can't abandon the research, so I would like make a motion to legalize the use of Stem Cell Research for medicinal purposes.

Status: Lacking Support (requires 147 more approvals)

It's not that we've already passed a proposal that effectively legalizes Stem Cell Research - after all, there's over 85 pages of text in the resolutions when you take it into MS Word (yes, I have checked).

It's not that it's narritive style essay (and even then, just an introduction to an essay) rather than a UN proposal.

No, the best part is that Stem Cell Research falls under the category of.....

RECREATIONAL DRUG USE?

The End of 3rd World Debt
A resolution to restrict civil freedoms in the interest of moral decency.


Category: Moral Decency
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Zephyrdomez

Description: The massive debt owed by economically progressive nations to economically developed nations is immense. Many nations have already paid back what they originally borrowed, but now find their economies further crippled by the huge interests their original loans have generated. Some nations are now resorting to desperate measures such as huge scale deforestation which is highly damaging to our environment in a failing attempt to end their debt once and for all. The continuation of Third World Debt does far more harm than it does good, as it in creases the huge divisions between rich and poor, and actually encroaches upon social and international justice. It is not fair that the more wealthy countries should continue to attack poorer nations with these unreachable targets which make them descend further into abject poverty. If we do not cancel Third World Debt, and let our world begin again with a fresh slate, we will never succeed in making poverty history.

Give poker the poke

Category: Gambling
Legalize/Outlaw: Outlaw
Proposed by: Dave of hand

Though most gambling is part of civilized and normal gatherings, some people use peopl,es intense vunrerability to take money out of thier pockets without having to mug them.

Many criminal organmisations are centred around gambling, so if you stop this evil pasttime than crime could drop by a large 18%. Now in't that worth giving up gambling for.

Also, Hack, out of curiosity, how come you've allowed some RL nations (such as Rome and America) to be created?

To test the name-release code, a handful of auto-deleted nation names were released. Aparently things weren't quite right, as we're still waiting for the rest.

Any nation not wishing to help support the UN's fleet may NOT be subject to any punitive tariffs. It is the right of any nation to not send any military aide to the UN.Interesting, this nation wants the UN to have a navy.

Category: Global Disarmament


Strength: Mild


Proposed by: Zactarn Prime

Description: I say that since Thermal,Biological,Chemical,and Radioactive bombs cost more money and resources and are which not as effective as a Napalm Bomb. In most countries the chemicals needed to create a Napalm Bomb are abundant in most nations I say we ban the use of Thernal,Biological,Chemical,and Radioactive bombs and make Napalm the only WMD permitted.

A Napalm Bomb literally incinerates everything so of course it would only be used in emergency and drastic situations. (I.E. Severe threat to national security or higly contagious disease with no time to find a cure and needs to be terminated for public safety).

This act would cut militarial spending drastically and give more money to more countries for more economical improvements, and thus cutting the debt owed by third-world countries, by allowing them more money.Ban all those WMDs and the proposal is only "mild."

Interesting, this nation wants the UN to have a navy.

Proposed by: Entcepatiolis

Description: Drugs should be banned for any use except those prescribed by doctors. Why? Because drugs continually cause people to die! Either being killed by the drug, diseases caused by the drug, or somebody on the drug. Therefore it should be stopped.
Anyone caught using drugs after this made law should be put under the following punishments:
1. Drug Rehab for 10 yrs
2. Strict Monitoring by police
3. No Social Activity for 6 months
4. No drugs, prescription or non-prescription, for 5 years after drug rehab

Thank-you.
REspectfully yours,

So now we'll need a prescription to get painkillers or antihistamines? Somehow I don't think the people will like this one. Our doctors' surgeries are crowded enough as is.

Decision: Legalize


Proposed by: Eridanus Secundus

Description: As medicine advances further in the Scientific community, and Embryonic Stem Cell Research is the pinnacle of the research, A heated debate arises about the use of these cells. So who will scream the loudest? The scientists who want to legalize the use of stem cells to help improve our medicine? Or the human rights activists who beleive in all life should be treated the same.

Although, the stem cells are taken from live embryos, I beleive the research gained from Stem Cells could help improve medical needs everywhere without fear of tissue, blood, or organ rejections. Though it might seem like taking life to save life, I can assure you the wealth of knowledge to benefit all of mankind is worth it. We can't abandon the research, so I would like make a motion to legalize the use of Stem Cell Research for medicinal purposes. Note the category.

Repeal "National Systems of Tax"

Resolution: #105

Description: UN Resolution #105: National Systems of Tax (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Wait, so a resolution that protects your right to determine your own tax system is overtaxing the rich and undertaxing the poor? Wow. Just wow.

Heh. It's kind of amusing how so many people want to repeal National Systems of Tax for reasons that completely contradict what the resolution actually does.

This has been an OOC post.

Umm, is that possible to implement?
Yes, hard to implement, and even harder to justify; I would appreciate it if the party proposing this new law would try to explain the rationale behind it. My personal view is that private property is a privelage, not a right, and that anything other than punitive income taxes targetted at the rich and super-rich - which will still leave them on the upper rungs of the income ladder - punishes the poor.

So let's see..... aside from the fact that there are two "2.", it wants to force all nations to abolish their heads of state, become subservient to the british empire, pretty much go from nation to colony, and then AFTER that, these nations (which pretty much includes....the British Empire) are protected from being forced to not have nukes....even though they are the sole voice anyways so....yeah..... :headbang: :headbang:

Eventually, the code should go through. The real-nation names are all the same code as everything else for other naturally-deleted nations. Our admins just have "real lives" or some such nonsense and have "more important things to do" than slave away at the game code.

Real-life football (soccer to Yanks) reference. Liverpool won the Champions' League this year (a competition of Europe's best teams) but only finished fifth in the English domestic league. CL rules say that only the top four of the English league qualify for next year's CL, but a bit of wheeling and dealing got Liverpool into next season's CL - but they have to go through three qualifying rounds to get into the CL proper, putting them in the same position as football minnows such as the champions of the Welsh league. The poster is saying that the champions of the Champions' League should automatically qualify for the Champions' League proper, which seems only logical, given the name. (Igor Biscan is a slightly infamous member of the winning Liverpool squad).

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.


Category: Human Rights


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Saskatchetoon

Description: Be it resolved that the NationStates United Nations establish UNICEF, a humanitarian organisation which will operate under the following mission statement:

UNICEF is mandated by the NationStates United Nations General Assembly to advocate for the protection of children's rights, to help meet their basic needs and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential.

UNICEF is guided by the Convention on the Rights of the Child and strives to establish children's rights as enduring ethical principles and international standards of behaviour towards children.

UNICEF insists that the survival, protection and development of children are universal development imperatives that are integral to human progress.

UNICEF mobilizes political will and material resources to help countries, particularly developing countries, ensure a "first call for children" and to build their capacity to form appropriate policies and deliver services for children and their families.

UNICEF is committed to ensuring special protection for the most disadvantaged children - victims of war, disasters, extreme poverty, all forms of violence and exploitation and those with disabilities.

UNICEF responds in emergencies to protect the rights of children. In coordination with United Nations partners and humanitarian agencies, UNICEF makes its unique facilities for rapid response available to its partners to relieve the suffering of children and those who provide their care.

UNICEF is non-partisan and its cooperation is free of discrimination. In everything it does, the most disadvantaged children and the countries in greatest need have priority.

UNICEF aims, through its country programmes, to promote the equal rights of women and girls and to support their full participation in the political, social, and economic development of their communities.

UNICEF works with all its partners towards the attainment of the sustainable human development goals adopted by the world community and the realization of the vision of peace and social progress enshrined in the Charter of the NationStates United Nations.

Repeal "Gay Rights"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal
Resolution: #12
Proposed by: Garnilorn

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

Argument: This proposal says in Title 'Gay Rights' but in contents it protects all area rights. Thus it's missleading.. in this part... --- must pass laws protecting people from discrimination in all parts of life --- would mean that we:
1) can not ban any weapons system because it would be discriminating against those nations that feel a need to have them or those who choose to build them..
2) nor could we require a free education for all citizens because it would discriminate against those who feel citizens are just slaves of government and only need to know how to work harder..
3) nor could we require that women be equal to men... as this would discriminate against men who hold women as servants.
4) nor could we require that all humans most walk on their hands by age six to avoid them wearing out shoes.... as it would discriminate against uncordinated people still learing to walk on two feet, as well as they shoemakers who depend on us wearing out our shoes by walking on them.

Since all these items and more are 'in all parts of life' this proposal in effect extends beyond gay rights and stops us from discriminating against anything. Thus ending our right to make proposals here in the UN because all of them might discriminate against someone, as it says protecting people...

Solution: Repeal this and let us discriminate as we find it needed..

Proposed by: The Adeptus Terra

Description: WHEREAS historically, women are responasable for causing many conflicts, great and small, between men.

WHEREAS the sexuality proliferated by women distracts males

WHEREAS these distractions make said males unproductive workers

WHEREAS more efficient methods of continuing the human race could be found

This resolution:

1. Makes being a women an offense punishable by death

2. Allocates funding towards building "Multiple Offspring Manufacturers" or MOMs, which would be large centres that would create babies from stem cells. These babies would then be distributed to a designated father
I pray that that's a joke.

Argument: REALIZING that with this resolution,

THAT we are now more powerful than non-UN members,

THAT we leave non-UN members at a loss,

THAT they can be annhilted,

WE NEED to make ourselves equals by repealing this resolution.Apparently the author thinks that the non members either can't have or don't have nukes.:rolleyes:

Description: RECOGNISING the recent award of the 2012 Olympic games to London

NOTING that it is customary for new sports to be periodically introduced from time to tim to further the Olympic spirit and ideals

NOTING with some surprise that this has included in recent years such well-know amateur sports as tennis and beach volleyball.

SUGGESTS that it is time to bring back some of the true amateur nature of the Olympic games and re-introduce some traditional sports and past-times that have passed out of everyday use.

PROPOSES that the UN lobby the IOC to introduce the sport of English Longbow Archery, a true amateur past-time, once practiced by all able-bodied males in the world's finest Empire.

HOPES that in so doing, nations will wish to introduce compulsory archery practice as in the days of yore, thus also solving the juvenile delinquency problem by removing many of the unruly youth of today from the street corners and giving them something worthwhile to do.

URGES all nations to petition their regional delegates to support this worthwhile and fine idea.

Solve juvenile delinquency by giving all the chavs longbows... :rolleyes:

Oh yeah...

RECOGNISING the recent award of the 2012 Olympic games to London

Argument: There are some that will not have enough skill or for other reasons, they may be unable to find a job and keep the welfare of themselves and their families. Slavery gives these people and chance to earn a little money but instead we choose to leave these people without work and therefore money?

FURTHER CONCERNED that all nations may not agree with this way of living but will find that the way of god is the way to go.

ENCOURAGES that all nations will follow god and find the way of the lord and to be able to run their nations the way god would.

DECLARES that all nations will convert their citizens to Catholics and to run their nation in the way of the lord. With everyone obeying god, the world will be a better place to live.
Because the first step to improving civil rights is forcing everyone to be exactly the same.

Gotta love this one's name. And what defines a "good" and "bad" citizen? Should "bad" citizens really be given guns?

I propose that a United Nations Supreme Court be placed to serve justice as it may be fit to give, to no longer allow the cruelty of tyrannts.
1. That the United Nations Supreme Court be placed by the U.N., that for every one nation in the Security Counsel, their will be one Justice.
2. A Chief Justice will be nominated by the U.N. and placed their by the majority of the United Nations.
3. Every 10 years a Justice must run for re-election, or a new Justice will be appointed.
4. Every Justice appointed from the Security Counsel must have the following approvals to receive their appointment.
a. The Nations leader approval
b. The majority of that nations congress, parliament, or whatever formed used to make that nationa democracy.
c. Two members of the BAR association(senior or more that 10 years serving the BAR association)
d. Two high placed Judges in that country.
5. The Supreme Court shall decide if and what is right or wrong. By reviewing this or that and deciding this or that.
6. The Supreme Court can be overruled by vote of congress, it takes three-fourths the vote to overrule their decision.
7. If a Justice is considered unfit, that nation must have the majority of congress(or whatever term they use) to impeach that Justice.
8. Finally, the UNSC shall also be incharge of war crime trials, governemtal affairs, critical issues, and finally what is right and what is wrong.

In conclusion, by the power of God, i ask that you vote in agreement, to stop the cruelty and evilness of the easily corruptable man and serve Justice to all accordingly.

Resolution: #73


Proposed by: Weed Central

Description: UN Resolution #73: Habeas Corpus (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: STATING that the repeal is NOT REPLACING the habeas corpus, nor making it now void. It is merely making a modern day amendment.

NOTING that the legal principle stops all unjust ways of imprisonating 'suspects' without requiring a legal charge.

QUOTING "This period does not apply to any time when the judicial authorities are not active, such as weekends or national holidays."

EXPLAINING that every time a state of emergency, such as times of war, the judicial authorities are not active as such. The governmnt can, therefore, ignore the UN's act and imprison suspects.

HIGHLIGHTING the hysteria that sweeps a nation in times of war, especially the threat of terrorist bombers.

SUGGESTS that the habeas corpus act is ALWAYS in place. Whilst harder to maintain, is essential for civilisation.

PLEDGES to stop 1.Religious persecution
2.Racial persecution
3.Corrupt governemnts imprisoning political opponents.

FURTHUR NOTING that the amendment will merely replace "This period does not apply to any time when the judicial authorities are not active, such as weekends or national holidays." with "This period is always active".
Apparently someone hasn't read the definition of "repeal."

With regards to the Habeas Corpus 'repeal' - I've been in contact with Weed Central, pointing out my responses to his points. His only response was 'it's too easy to just arrest people' - which is what Habeas Corpus is specifically designed to prevent - and 'as soon as I fix it, it'll pass'.

Repeal "Metric System "

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal


Resolution: #24


Proposed by: Bombolobolia

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

Argument: Let's face it: This repeal will probably never pass for the exact same reason why it passed. The majority of members of NationStates come from nations who use the metric system, and they see Resolution #24 as what they hope to force the ACTUAL UN to do, which is force the entire planet to use the metric system, mainly to bully the United States. So I propose this, knowing that it will most likely never reach quorum, because most of those who would be able to allow it to reach quorum are narrow-minded pinheads who think that passing such a resolution is a GREAT way to "teach" us Americans a lesson for our government's transgressions. After all, that's what the game is about, an open forum to b***h about America's government and how "stupid" we are, since 100% of Americans support Bush. After all, that's why he recieved only 51% of the popular vote, because 100% of Americans believe EXACTLY what he does... Idiots.

And, though those kind of idiots run wild throughout the UN, I still submit this because it's what's right. And because this resolution was only passed because of anti-American sentiments, admit it. I'm an ashamed American, and a proud Democrat. If you want to help us change our country, get pro-active, don't pass idiotic resolutions in a game with the intent of "This is what we want America to do, durr!"

Sure it may be contaminated but look at what good will come of it: One place less where rogue states can fester

A few nuclear weapons fewer as they will have been used to blow up Belfast Rebel Alliance

Well that's sorted then.

Proposed by: Whitekong

Description: NOTING that there is a lack of support for the arts in the world.

CONCERNED that children are being left out of the beautiful arts.

PROPOSING:

1) Those countries that give to the arts of MUISC, SONG and ACTING will recive a monetary award from the UN

2)Those countries that do not support them will be penolized by the UN.

3)Poetry and Dancing are not considered arts under this proposal
-AND-
4)Non-Un nations are encouraged to participate although they will not be fined or awarded if they do or dont.

We need to give our kids the chance to live with great music and acting. Lets not be stupid and forget the arts.
The name itself guarantees a place in this list. But aside from that, I like how poetry and dance are apparently no longer arts, plus there is no mention of prose, design, architecture or even the visual arts.

Repeal "Outlaw Pedophilia"
Category: Repeal
Resolution: #22
Proposed by: Monte Verita

Description: UN Resolution #22: Outlaw Pedophilia (Category: Moral Decency; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: - Individual freedom is the most important thing, and morality and decency are different from one country to another.
- Pedophilia happens mostly inside families, not in the public area. How could the United Nations be aware of how families work? This makes no sense.
Therefore, we must repeal this resolution. Nations can outlaw pedophilia in their own countries without passing through the UN.

So are you fined if you do participate and are awared if you don't participate?

There's an artform called grammar - do you "participate in" it?

I forgot to copy the name of this one, but it's entitled something related to nudity. I like who the author chooses for the "nakedness panel" ;).


This has become an issue in my country and I assume in
the good-natured countries of my esteemed colleagues.
The issue is nakedness in public. Out of my own
arrogant forsight, I propose that all people of the
world under the age of 17 and over the age of 30 wear
clothing at all times (even when they shower). Those
who are between the age of 17 and 30 will be judged by
a selective panel of three straight men as to whether
they should wear clothes or not. One of these men
will be yours truly, but the others will be the first
two people to vote for this resolution.

I forgot to copy the name of this one, but it's entitled something related to nudity. I like who the author chooses for the "nakedness panel" ;).

Now what happens if the first two people to vote are NOT straight men?

Category: Political Stability


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: South Halliburton

Description: Agenda: In the interest of stabilizing international political environments, U.N. nations must restrict freedom of religion and submit to the greater good that is David Hasselhoff.

Purpose: Submission to a single practiced religion will eliminate religious-based wars, riots and/or any struggle/altercation that may/not occur.

Action
1) All U.N. nations tear down religious "idolotries" and replace them with life-size posters of David Hasselhoff featuring his majestic chest hair. This shall be done on the Supreme's birthday, July 17, and will forever then be known as KITTmas, or the world's rebirth.

2) All U.N. nations welcoming religious leaders visiting from The Empire of Hasselhoffonia, David Hasselhoff's most holy empire, in the interest of educating global citizens of the greater good that is David Hasselhoff.

3) All U.N. nations appoint a religious and spiritual advisory council to act as a government check and balance to ensure all parlimentary/congressional/dictatorship decisions/laws comply to the holy teachings of Knight Rider and enforce the historical significance of Baywatch.

4) All religious insurgents refusing to submit to the greater good that is David Hasselhoff will be re-educated by a minimal force of artificially intelligent supercars.

Conclusion: Realizing and recognizing one single religion will eliminate the need of religious wars and riots so often witnessed around the globe. Thus meaning, submitting to the Greater Cause will not only stabilize international political environments, but also help maintain domestic law and order within U.N. nations' borders.

The Global Peace Initiative

A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.
Category: Global Disarmament
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Community Property

Description:

PREAMBLE

We believe war to be unnecessary. No nation need ever go to war. Wars can always be avoided through non-provocative, non-confrontational foreign policy, a willingness to resolve all disputes through negotiation and compromise, and a refusal to meet force or threats of force in kind.

We believe there to be no excuse for war. Because a nation never need go to war, any nation that does so for any reason is guilty of aggression. Aggression is unacceptable within this community of nations.

We believe that military forces, weapons, and spending are unnecessary, and should be eliminated worldwide as soon as possible.

DECLARATION

I. No United Nations member may ever go to war or undertake military action of any kind for any reason.

II. With war now forbidden, all weapons are unnecessary, all counterclaims by individual members notwithstanding.

III. With all weapons now unnecessary, no United Nations member may ever produce, acquire, possess, or use any weapon where no prior United Nation Resolution reserves for members such a right.

IV. Where a prior United Nations Resolution reserves for members a right to produce, acquire, possess, or use a particular weapon, whether necessary or not, that right shall be respected for as long as the Resolution in question remains in force; should the Resolution in question ever be repealed, however, such grandfathered rights shall be forever lost.

V. Where the right of members to produce, acquire, possess, or use a particular weapon has been reserved by a prior United Nations Resolution, such a right shall be read as narrowly as possible; thus, a right to produce or acquire a weapon shall confer a right to possess it, nor shall a right to possess a weapon confer a right to use it, and so forth.

VI. No United Nations member may ever organize, assemble, or maintain under arms a military, nor may it spend any money on defense, except as may be needed to exercise its right to produce, acquire, possess, or use a particular weapon as provided by a prior United Nations Resolution, and then only to the minimum extent required exercise the right; thus where a right to possess a weapon is specified, this right shall be held to allow exactly one (1) such weapon, unless stated in the plural, in which case it shall be held to allow no more two (2) of them.

VII. Where the right to acquire or possess a weapon has been reserved by a prior United Nations Resolution, that right shall not be read to embrace any unspecified "supporting" weapon systems, such as airplanes, missiles, artillery pieces, or other means with which to deliver the permitted weapon, and so on.

VIII. Upon passage of this Resolution, all military spending beyond what is needed to acquire and possess any weapons permitted under prior United Nations Resolutions shall be redirected to education and environmental protection, in equal amounts.

IX. As war is now unnecessary, no United Nations member may ever enter into any military alliance or relationship with any other nation.

CAVEATS

X. Where a weapon has been banned under a prior United Nations Resolution, this Resolution shall not be taken to duplicate that ban. Should the ban in question be lifted, however, then the immunity of the weapon in question from consideration herein shall also be considered lifted, and the weapon in question shall from that moment onward be governed under this Resolution.

Peaceful Uses of Outer Space

II. No nation shall place weapons of any kind into orbit.

III. No nation shall place weapons of any kind on to celestial bodies.

IV. No nation shall place hazardous materials into orbit

V. No nation shall place hazardous materials onto celestial bodies.

VI. Space stations shall not be used to harbor weapons.

VII. All celestial bodies are open territories, and can not be claimed or fought for.

VIII. A nation may keep to their own space program, and will not be required to join any U.N. Space Program.

IX. We strongly encourage to share any scientific breakthroughs, in Space Research, to be shared with other nations.

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

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

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

Sorry to go back so far but... I think the big problem with this one is "Fines for no work or not going to work."

Um... if they don't have a job, how are they going to pay the fine? They've got no money to pay it.

The UN has ALREADY passed a resolution requiring every nation to develop Hydrogen-powered vehicles.
This seems to ignore the possibilities that some nations might EITHER have sufficiently "pre-modern" levels of technology that they don't have any automotive vehicles [except, perhaps, 'steam' ones] at all yet OR sufficiently "post-modern" levels of technology that they've already gone beyond using Hydrogen as a fuel for combustion [rather than, perhaps, for fusion]...

Isn't THAT a bit silly?

Surprisingly, all supported by Flibs.I support repealing "Gay Rights" and "Definition of Marriage" because they deal with marriage laws which I believe should be dealt with by the individual nations as opposed to the UN. "Rights of Minorities and Women" I support repealing because the resolution is redundant as all the points are covered under other resolutions.

Very pragmatic, but I think it's a bit dubious to put your endorsement to the sentiment "love for same sex is wrong" - not even 'sex with', which would be bad enough, but 'love for'... I've give you the benefit of the doubt on your own reasons for supporting this, but you're probably sharing that platform with some people who are operating from much darker motives.

It's a bit disappointing the number of proposals that look like this, but quite heartening that they usually get very little support.

u all know that your mothers (the ones i was with last night) hate the idea and the practic of gambling. To indure that none of you get grounded i propose that the United Nations bans gambling.
This move will help your nation in many ways:
1) If your nation is having trouble with crime banning gambling will help you to reenforce your law enforcement
it also makes baby jesus cry every time someone gambles so with all of this i strongly support that all christians mothers and anarchisits ban togehther to fight the worst disease that has ever threatened the Nation states.

Simply put, the sea can absorb all the waste (not unlike digestion) and dilute toxic materials to harmless levels so that no ecosystems are significantly affected. The sea has the power to recycle waste, an there is no reason not to use it.http://bak42.notworksafe.com/images/NationStates/Smilies/laugh.gif

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

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

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

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.


Category: Human Rights
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Trans-Caspia

Description: RECOGNIZING that it is impossible for a nation to conform to the wishes of all its citizens.

VALUING the right of the citizen to live in the manner he or she chooses and with those of similar persuasion.

REALIZING that the sovereignty of any nation must not be degraded through fracture and secession.

DECIDING that in order to accommodate both the nation state and those who whish for different social, political, religious, or economic environments, these rules be put into place immediately:

1. A group of people who claim the right of the micronation shall be allowed to construct an off-shore facility. The nature may be entirely artificial(like an oil rig), or may be dredged from an already partially exposed part of seafloor to create an island. The expense shall be the colonist's burden, and no other group or state is obliged to fund any micronation outside of a contract.

2. This construction must be entirely built in UN-recognized international waters.

3. The group claiming the right of the micronation may not have any connections with known terrorist groups. If they are found to be terrorists or connected to any such group, their right to a micronation will be declared null and void, and force may be used to remove them.

4. After their right to a micronation has been recognized by the UN, no nation may extend their maritime borders over the construction or its recognized maritime boundaries, nor may any nation claim sovereignty over it.

5. The maritime boundaries of a micronation shall extend precisely one mile from the construction. In any place where maritime boundaries conflict, the pre-established state shall have the right to retain its boundary, and is not obliged to secede any of its waters to the newly established state.

6. Should the UN approve of an extension of international maritime boundaries, the 1 mile boundary limit shall not change.

7. No outside entity shall have the right to impose any law upon a micronation, except for these following guidelines:

- No human being shall be brought to a micronation against their will.
- All human beings have the right to leave any micronation at any time they choose.
- No micronation shall be permitted to do any action that has a negative effect on any other nation's economy, enviroment, or national security.

8. A corporation, government, international organization, or any entity other than those constituting the micronation's population shall not be allowed to establish a micronation.

9. A UN committee shall be established to oversee all matters pertaining to the establishment of micronations. Their decisions will be the highest recognized authority on this matter. All currently existing micronations shall be subject to a review by this committee to determine their legal status.

This has to be the daftest proposal i have EVER seen looking for approval.

Actually I don't think that one is daft. I liked the idea enough to endorse it. It is very orginal.

ok then, Let me set the scene. I decide that i dont like my nation but i aint leaving. So I gather up a group of disgruntled people and we purchase an off shore Island. I can then apply for the status of "Soverign Micronation" to the UN. which is duly granted and yay the SM of My island is born. So now i dont have to pay taxes to the nation i was disgruntled with and anyone can move to my MN as long as they arent terrorists. So then i have a one mile Territorial water around my MN so if a busy shipping lane passes through i can now toll shipping traffic.

Man its just plain daft!

I guess I just see this differently than you do. It seems a perfectly good way for me for a group of like minded people to set up their own nation without taking anything away from an existing nation.

I really don't want to go into too much debate about this here because A - this is the wrong thread for that, and B - the resolution is close to running out of time, but if it is resubmitted I will contact the author and ask him/her to start a thread on it so we can talk about it properly ;).

For now, well just have to agree to disagree :).

Category: Human Rights


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: The Blue Monday

Description: Description: Description: We, the United Nation, recognize the basic human rights of all individuals, including the Clownkind. The Clownkind Equality Act seeks to extend civil rights and fair treatment to members of the clown community.

Believing that Human right is a rooted in belief in human dignity, and that everyone, including members of the Circus Entertainment community, deserves to be treated with dignity and respect regardless of occupation or comedic expression

Defining a clown to be any person who has and occupational experience, past or present, in circus work, mime work, private party work, or otherwise related occupations, any person that uses slapstick comedy with a painted face and a squeaky nose.

Definning Clownism as a person’s innate sense of self while occupation declares that they must hold a comedic act of some kind, in costume or otherwise.

Taking into account that everyone has the freedom of choice as outlined in the resolution of Universal Freedom of Choice to act in a way that might or might not fit with conventional clown stereotype as long as small children and foolish adults are not threatened by them.

Recognizes that biological factors, such as one’s sense of humor and age play a large role on how a clown may be employed as opposed to talent. Older clowns will be less likely employed as a younger, bald clown.

Acknowledges than that Clownism is a recognized social issue that
involves a person’s humor so long as they are in costume and come out of small cars.

Convinced than that occupation reassignments and its related occupational procedures should be legal and allowed in order to alleviate the psychological pain and suffering caused Clownkind.

Acknowledging that many Clownkind are discriminated against in all area of life, including in employments and health care.

Noting with satisfaction that a significant number of human right laws have already been approved by the United Nation.

Noting with Regrets, however, that none of the past human rights resolutions made any mention on the right of the Clownkind.

Be it resolved that the Clownkind Equality Act be recognized and declared by the United Nation.

Article one: One’s clowning area or self expression shall be included as a prohibited ground of discrimination; any Clownsman should receive the same right as everyone else residing in all U.N member countries.

Article two: Considering that a clown is much more likely to be targeted for hate violence, law enforcement authorities should be encouraged to access Clown Sensitivity training so they can adequately and sufficiently deliver justice to members of the transgender community.

Article 3: All Clown Sensitivity discrimination in hiring, promotion, training and dismissal will be illegal in all U.N countries.

Article 4: Everyone has the right to having a good time; Occupational equality and Occupational Clown Training should be legal and reasonably accessible to Circus folk of all walks of life. Medical personnel are not allowed to refuse treatments to a Clown based on early childhood trauma and hatred for Clownkind.

Article 5: Clownfolk who have undergone Carnie Training will have his or her new Clown name be legally recognized. Other Clowns, including Mimes, Freakshow workers, and bearded-women will continue to be legally defined by their occupational contract.. Is it my imagination, or did someone just basically take the current resolution up for vote (The Transgender Equality Act) and just replace the word "transgender" for "Clownfolk?"

check it out on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micronations - there's tons of micronations out there, but usually they're not recognised by any other country - there's this one off the coast of England that was on an old military base called Sealand, that recently had a company trying to establish a data hosting facility there so that people could hold data that didn't respect patents and the like.

They're an interesting loophole to international law

The Global Peace Initiative

A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.
Category: Global Disarmament
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Community Property

Description:

PREAMBLE

We believe war to be unnecessary. No nation need ever go to war. Wars can always be avoided through non-provocative, non-confrontational foreign policy, a willingness to resolve all disputes through negotiation and compromise, and a refusal to meet force or threats of force in kind.

We believe there to be no excuse for war. Because a nation never need go to war, any nation that does so for any reason is guilty of aggression. Aggression is unacceptable within this community of nations.

We believe that military forces, weapons, and spending are unnecessary, and should be eliminated worldwide as soon as possible.

DECLARATION

I. No United Nations member may ever go to war or undertake military action of any kind for any reason.

II. With war now forbidden, all weapons are unnecessary, all counterclaims by individual members notwithstanding.

III. With all weapons now unnecessary, no United Nations member may ever produce, acquire, possess, or use any weapon where no prior United Nation Resolution reserves for members such a right.

IV. Where a prior United Nations Resolution reserves for members a right to produce, acquire, possess, or use a particular weapon, whether necessary or not, that right shall be respected for as long as the Resolution in question remains in force; should the Resolution in question ever be repealed, however, such grandfathered rights shall be forever lost.

V. Where the right of members to produce, acquire, possess, or use a particular weapon has been reserved by a prior United Nations Resolution, such a right shall be read as narrowly as possible; thus, a right to produce or acquire a weapon shall confer a right to possess it, nor shall a right to possess a weapon confer a right to use it, and so forth.

VI. No United Nations member may ever organize, assemble, or maintain under arms a military, nor may it spend any money on defense, except as may be needed to exercise its right to produce, acquire, possess, or use a particular weapon as provided by a prior United Nations Resolution, and then only to the minimum extent required exercise the right; thus where a right to possess a weapon is specified, this right shall be held to allow exactly one (1) such weapon, unless stated in the plural, in which case it shall be held to allow no more two (2) of them.

VII. Where the right to acquire or possess a weapon has been reserved by a prior United Nations Resolution, that right shall not be read to embrace any unspecified "supporting" weapon systems, such as airplanes, missiles, artillery pieces, or other means with which to deliver the permitted weapon, and so on.

VIII. Upon passage of this Resolution, all military spending beyond what is needed to acquire and possess any weapons permitted under prior United Nations Resolutions shall be redirected to education and environmental protection, in equal amounts.

IX. As war is now unnecessary, no United Nations member may ever enter into any military alliance or relationship with any other nation.

CAVEATS

X. Where a weapon has been banned under a prior United Nations Resolution, this Resolution shall not be taken to duplicate that ban. Should the ban in question be lifted, however, then the immunity of the weapon in question from consideration herein shall also be considered lifted, and the weapon in question shall from that moment onward be governed under this Resolution.

I wonder if anyone noticed my proposal directly under that, entitled Freedom of War? And it didn't pass either. *cries*

Fellows of the United Nations do you realise there is an evil amongst us. That Evil my friends is the Smurf. These blue creatures have been taking over countries all over the place via the backdoor and now control over half of the UN.

Their aims are simple. To turn the world into a drug filled, weak willed planet. Where no one does any work and lovefests result in hybrid human/smurf offspring, thus weakening all of humankind. They want to take over the world and allow their equally evil neighbours from outerspace the FURBIES to invade.

No, Ecopedia invalidated your argument by pointing out that it justifies a bunch of issues we ban - as they are...well....immoral.

The slavery comment was a way of emphasising that your justification for shafting developing countries was that infringement was a barrier to free trade, as if free trade is a be-all and end-all. It smacks of a rigid adherence to the doctrine of "free trade, regardless of the consequences!". We're not all free traders here, y'know.

Putting aside objections to patenting and intellectual property laws with respect to generic drugs etc in the developing world... some of us don't operate any form of copyright or patents. Have you heard of ceative commons?

Description: Larger Nations should automatically be granted power within the regions of the world. I also think that larger nations should be able to take control of regions with no effort. so therefore, my three-point plan follows as thusly.

1. whoever's nation is most populated becomes Regional Delegate.

2. That Nation, if it should choose, can run that region to the ground, lead it to world prominence, ditch the region, or any combination of the three.

3. The nations underneath the regional delegate can choose to overthrow by means of vote. If the delegate loses this vote, that delegate's nation is ejected from the region, and the next-populated nation takes command. If the delegate's nation wins the vote, defer to point number 2.

this plan can make a huge difference on the world as we know it.All together now, game mechanics.

Category: Political Stability


Strength: Mild


Proposed by: Seniwa

Description: It has been noted that several resolutions have been submitted multiple times, more often than not simply copies of a previous proposal that another nation wrote. Often, these resolutions are not nessicary, except in the case of ammendments to existing resolutions, or ammendments to existing repealment resolutions. Do we really need to hear about how we should ban whales or not ban them five hundred times in a row? I think not, therefor I propose a limitation of no more than five non-ammendment proposals of a single resolution.Illegal, game mechanics.

Proposed by: Mimefestazogi

Description: Long has it been noted by the more forward thinking members of our strong nations that the legalization of prostitution would be beneficial in almost all areas of life. It would increase revenue of a nation to tax it, the safety of all prostitutes would increase significantly, the proliferation of sexually transmitted disease could be stemmed by continual testing, and we could never stop this work, so why not exploit it?

this motion would legalize and tax prostistution in all nations.Someone needs to tell the proposer that legalizing prostitution has been done, undone, and redone.

Category: Moral Decency


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Iexela

Description: Recognizing that the 'Sex Education Act' as proposed and as probably would have passed LACKS certain checks and balances that would improve upon the resolution and constrain undue license:

Recommend the following amendments to said resolution, as follows:

1.) Discussion of the possible risks and consequences of activities other than those leading to the procreation of children in a monogamous male/female marriage relationship, i.e. STD's, adultery, unplanned pregnancy, instability, divorce, penalties for illegal activities

2.) Presentation of alternatives to the killing of the unborn: adoption, support for unwed mothers who choose to keep their children, and promotion of all other ways to make abortion unthinkable on positive moral grounds

3.) Promotion of marriage and family values as a superior way of life

4.) Presenting the advantages of waiting until the age of majority to assume the responsibilities and privileges that go with this part of adult life.

5.) Discussion of the moral and economic consequences of irresponsibility when it comes to dealing with this issue.

A balanced presentation is needed, as young people are bound to learn about the mechanics anyway and need checks and balances in this volatile area.Illegal, amendments are not allowed under the Hackian Laws. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=420465)

I told Iexela that - almost immediately got a response asking how to withdraw.

Description: Political stability is needed desperately in this world.
1. Police have the right to torture crminals for information.

A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.


Category: Social Justice


Strength: Mild


Proposed by: Zyrcissia

Description: Synopsis:One day a year where all the world eat the same thing, rich and poor, all together.

Problem:In this world some people live in wealth, others in absolute poverty. This unfair difference is often inherent to the political structures of the countries or even the world in general. The poor often feel left out and not a part of their society.

Solution:To show the unlucky part of this world's population that they are not totally forgotten I propose to pick 1 day a year that is Pony barbeque festival day. On this day the entire world will enjoy the same meal : Ponyburgers.
All will eat together and while doing so, form a bond of being one people on this world, no matter who you are, and where you come.

You might ask why the pony ? The reason for this is that there is no religious ban from any religion to eat ponies. Also in many countries ponies have a better life than the poor people.
(And most of all, they taste great with garlic sauce.)

So celebrate this festival of worldwide bonding of humankind and say yes to the "Pony barbeque festival Act"

Grand Theocrat of the Theocracy of Zyrcissia
Barbequed pony anyone?
