Knowledge

A resolution to promote funding and the development of education and the arts.


Category: Education and Creativity

Area of Effect: Educational

Proposed by: Loneylover

Description: In this bill, I propose that we raise the education of all nations to a level that all citizens of all nations must complete an elementary through college education. This is so they will understand what we have done in our past, and so they can make different decisions to create a better future for ourselves.

Wow. T-shirt slogan. Not from WAperspective. Borderline branding. Does nothing but spout platitudes.

Ban perversions forever!!!

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


Category: Moral Decency

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Slavic Soviet Socialist Rus

Description: In our modern world a large number of perverts is one of the worst consequences of too democratic policies. To stop them from developing our society's moral degradation and to struggle with veneric diseases spreading we should:
1.Ban gay and lesbian marriages and forbid gay and lesbian sex.
2.Ban prostitution
3.Ban polygamy
4.Ban sex between two people if they are not married
5.Ban sex between teenagers...

Well, aren't we just a special little ray of sunshine. Personally, I'd call this one "grossly offensive".

That, in itself, is already a contradiction of the Clean Prostitute Act.

[Bears Armed]

Topic for today: Is 'grossly offensive' the new 'bloody stupid'?

Don't know. Don't think i've ever used it before, but thought if anything qualified that one did.

[Defwa]

Topic for today: Is 'grossly offensive' the new 'bloody stupid'?

Well I'd definitely say painting an entire group of people as perverted just because of consensual sex acts or gestures of mutual love is pretty offensive.

[Grays Harbor]

Topic for today: Is 'grossly offensive' the new 'bloody stupid'?

Well I'd definitely say painting an entire group of people as perverted just because of consensual sex acts or gestures of mutual love that is pretty offensive.

That was my thought as well.

[Alqania]

Topic for today: Is 'grossly offensive' the new 'bloody stupid'?

Well I'd definitely say painting an entire group of people as perverted just because of consensual sex acts or gestures of mutual love is pretty offensive.

What group of people? The proposal would ban any people who are not in a two-party, different-sex marriage from having sex with each other, with the additional conditions that it be not-for-profit and that both parties are at least 20 years old. That's not really a group. The proposal doesn't explicitly call anyone a pervert, and if we were to assume that it implicitly calls everyone targeted a pervert, then that's true for sexually active teenagers, people who have sex before/outside/after marriage, polygamous people and prostitutes just as well as for gays and lesbians.

No, it is pretty explicit that all listed are "perverts" according to the author.

Repeal "Nuclear Arms Possession Act"

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.


Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#10

Proposed by: The Land of the Free Kingdom

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #10: Nuclear Arms Possession Act (Category: International Security; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: This proposal causes inequality throughout the NationStates. Granting WA members the right to nuclear weapons will severely harm the non WA members. There are other methods in engaging war with non WA members than using nukes on them. If we want to truly improve safety and human rights we can't allow for the WA members to control the non WA members with threats of bombing them. If we truly want to improve security then we must repeal this act.

Game Mechanics too.

[Kaboomlandia]

Queue a little full today.

[Flibbleites]

Queue a little full today.

You don't know what a full proposal queue looks like, back when I first started playing the proposal queue used to be 20+ pages long.

[The Dark Star Republic]

7 proposals is full!?

[Kaboomlandia]

7 proposals is full!?

It was ten about a half hour ago. Most days it's around 1-3 for the GA, and usually one for the SC, until a regional crisis comes along, at which time it spikes to 3-4.

[The Dark Star Republic]

It was ten about a half hour ago. Most days it's around 1-3 for the GA,

Because it's pruned far more regularly (and with much less discretion) than it used to be, and because the submission link is hidden one page deeper. As has pointed out, proposal queues used to be much longer.

and usually one for the SC, until a regional crisis comes along, at which time it spikes to 3-4.

If you want to talk about the SC, can't you take it to the relevant forum? Not an official opinion, but to my unofficial eyes it no more belongs in here than roleplay belongs in the Gameplay forum or the NBA playoffs in the NS Sports forum.

Repeal "Child Pornography Ban"

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.


Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#300

Proposed by: Island of the Cat

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #300: Child Pornography Ban (Category: Moral Decency; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: We believe that this is a deprivation of civil law. Of course we also believe that child pornography should be demolished, but this can be done by applying restrictive laws without abolish child pornography. Repeal this

No "repeals" clause. Also doesn't appear to be written from the WA's perspective.

[Wrapper]

Well... one can argue "we" can be interpreted as the nations of the WA, and that "Repeal this" is the repeal clause. It does seem like a silly self-contradictory argument, though -- they want to "demolish" kiddie porn without laws that "abolish" kiddie porn? I don't get it.

And given the sheer amount of votes that voted FOR putting the ban on in the first place...

...ANY proposal wanting to REPEAL it would be futile, not to mention any uproar and subsequent dogpiling that would arise if the author even bothered to make a [DRAFT] thread first...

Yeah - I saw that. I can't imagine a piece of legislation less likely to get overturned than that one. Genuinely cannot see why you would vote against banning child pornography, even in a fictional nation state simulator game.
