Private fire departments? What the hell pretty sure we do not have anything as stupid as that.
Also under ETC you are making it easy for us to classify just about everything as part of restrictions.

Well voting against such nonsense that only the libertarians can think of...
Same goes with this. Eminent domain always grants the people that have their property taken from them full market value. In case you do not know.

This is a joke bill that's not going to be tabled.

A Ban on Coronation Street

The Senate of the Aurentine Commonwealth,

Affirming that the British television programme Coronation Street is boring as shit,

Noting that the slow-paced action in the series is more boring than watching paint dry in a tropical rainforest,

Declaring that no one should have to endure the pain of watching bad soap operas,

Hereby outlaws the series Coronation Street.

From your own source:

..."just compensation" is "fair market value," i.e., the price that a willing but unpressured buyer would pay a willing but unpressured seller in a voluntary transaction, with both parties fully informed of the property's good and bad features. Also, this approach takes into account the property's highest and best use (i.e., its most profitable use) which is not necessarily its current use or the use mandated by current zoning if there is a reasonable probability of zone change.

It's not a voluntary interaction, first of all.

This measure of compensation has been severely criticized because it omits from consideration a variety of incidental economic losses that a taking of land inflicts on its owners when they are evicted from their homes and businesses. The most egregious example of such uncompensated losses is provided by the American law that denies any compensation to owners of businesses that are destroyed when land on which they are located is taken, and the business cannot relocate. A small minority of states have provided by statute that at least some business losses are compensable.

If a business is doing successful in an area, probably due to traffic, and the government takes that away, how can they accurately determine the net loss of money if they are relocated to an area with less traffic over an extended time span?

Criminal Negligence Act

| Author: New Zepuha [ALM] | Sponsors: The Neo-Confederate States of America [ANL], Oneracon [RG]| Category: Order | Urgency: Low |

---

Section 0. Preamble -

Believing that fleeing an area in which a crime or accident has occurred is a great danger to public order. Those who knowingly are involved in a vehicular accident and flee without consulting officials or refusing aide to people they have purposefully ignored, should be punished accordingly. This bill is with intent to ensure the broad safety of motorists.

Section 1. Fleeing the Scene of an Accident -

When a motor vehicle accident has occurred, by any number of vehicles people involved in this crash may not flee the scene without a relevant medical issue that would justify their fleeing. Otherwise, those who know they have been involved in an accident must remain, check the safety of the other motorists [if possible], and contact the relevant authorities. Anyone witnessing said accident and are able to safely pull to the side of the road must stop to aide or contact relevant authorities [chiefly the police and fire department]. Prosecution must be able to prove that someone knowingly fled the scene of an accident.

Section 2. Criminal Offences Relating to Criminal Negligence -

Fleeing The Scene of an Accident - Anyone who knowingly flees the scene of an accident without a pressing need for medical attention, is held liable for the crime of negligence. Such as if car A crashes into the rear of B and the driver of A or B flees the scene. This can be a Delict or Contravention depending on the severity, to be determined by the judges.

This includes complicity in said crime.

You value it one way. The market values it other way. Or you want the price of the person to be paid?

So know you don't know that property appraisal is a profession? We have people who price property for a living.

It doesn't have to be. When you calculate fair market value, you predict what it would go for on the market.

Geil I know. I was just pointing it out to him. The market are those people... But apparently he wants your price to be paid.

The only thing about that bill I support is the membership limit, otherwise all that stuff is useless fluff that parties already do. Parties should choose their own policies, not be mandated to go a certain way.

The "useless fluff" is what backs up the membership limit.

What if they want outside members to lead the party?

The Rhinoceros Party opposes this.

What if they want outside members to lead the party?

Then what is the point of creating the separate party? If the ideologies are so similar then they don't need to be separate parties, or it shouldn't be a hassle for one outside party member to shift their official membership.
