[draft] commend everyone

[Flemingovia]

Recognising the existence of the specific nation of Everyone

Feeling that Everyone is deserving of a commendation.

Specifically noting that Everyone is stunning, remarkable, compassionate, and intelligent - as witnessed by their overview.

feeling that a lack of commendation for Everyone would make the WA into an elitist body, but that if Everyone got a commendation then the work of the WA would be complete.

Further feeling that a commendation for Everyone would be a postmodern affirmation of relative value. As the old song nearly says: "Everyone is beautiful, in its own way."

Hereby commends Everyone.

Then why would you go out of your way to do anything good if everyone gets the same reward for doing nothing? It's like commendation communism...

Ah, that is why my resolution clearly commends the specific nation of Everyone, not "everyone" as in "every nation". To do the latter would be very very wrong.

[Ardchoilleans]

My delegation applauds the stated intention of the Flemingovian delegation to eschew action that would be very, very wrong. We consider this very, very nice. We have therefore sent them each individual cartons of chocolate chip, butterscotch brickle and cookie dough ice-cream, all of which are very, very yummy.

And so to business: in the interests of clarifying the far-reaching effects of this proposal, we would be interested to hear their response to the adage, "When Everyone is Someone, then no-one's anybody."

Is it your contention that commending Everyone will make them a Someone on the international stage? Do you consider this a consummation devoutly to be wished?

Sadly, we must also ask you for a clarification that has been forced on us by the statistics-obsessed bean-counters back home *reads from back of old envelope*: given that Commendations are, in theory, bestowed on nations that are in some way outstanding, we must ask for specifics: in what particular way is Everyone outstanding?

Everyone is outstanding. This seems self-evident, and if it is not evident then it is not really for a drafting thread to decide that. If the stunning, remarkable, compassionate, and intelligent is not outstanding, then I wonder who is. Surely if Everyone is not worthy of commendation then i doubt that Anyone will be found worthy of commendation.

To retort to your adage quoted above. Everyone is not Someone. Someone is an entirely different nation. I suggest that walter Arbuthnot purchases an atlas.

Thank you for the ice cream.

[Everything]

At the risk of seeming self-absorbed, why not commend Everything?

[Astro-Malsitari WA Seat]

I think they're much more worthy of a condemnation, myself.

[A mean old man]

God dammit, PD: It's "hear, hear."

Hear him, hear him!
LOL

[Cinistra]

I would like to emphazise that Better Than Everyone is better than Everyone. Due to this obvious fact, Better Than Everyone deserves this commendation. After all, Better Than Everyone is undoubtly better than Everyone.

[Flemingovia]

If you feel that Better than Everyone deserves a commendation, then draft one. It is off topic to discuss that in a threat devoted to drafting a commendation of Everyone.

There are plenty of commendations to go round.

Um...it was intentionally mispelled b/c I thought this was a silly thread ergo a silly response.

And I thought I was Mr. No-Joking-Allowed

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure it was.
Suuuure.
Sure.

"Everyone's national animal is the Smile, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Friendship."
^Considering the above information, Everyone is clearly a place where people are stalked by smiley faces, huddling in fear from them (a smiler), and Friendship's are used to bribe or extort other nations. Therefore I cannot support a commendation of such a horrific regime, it is evil...EVIL...EVIL!

On a serious note: Just no.

I will await the commendation of Everyone first.

[Flemingovia]

Before submitting this I would be grateful for some guidance as to whether this is rule-compliant.

And no, Punk D, do not assume this is a silly thread or a joke proposal. If we assume that every time a nation has a humorous name then their commendation is de facto also humorous, then we may as well say that nations like "Everyone" "everything" or even ones with names like "willie warmer" can never be in receipt of a commendation, which would be unfair.

Just because it is ridiculous doesn't mean he meant it to be ridiculous.

[Celestial Sphere]

Specifically noting that Everyone is stunning, remarkable, compassionate, and intelligent - as witnessed by their WFE.

Nations don't have WFEs.

Further feeling that a commendation for Everyone would be a postmodern affirmation of relative value. As the old song nearly says: "Everyone is beautiful, in it's own way."

"its own way."

I would like to emphazise that Better Than Everyone is better than Everyone. Due to this obvious fact, Better Than Everyone deserves this commendation. After all, Better Than Everyone is undoubtly better than Everyone.

Once this is passed, we could always commend Better Than Everyone twice.

Yes. After all BTE is a refuge for the endangered marsupials, and that's worthy a commendation. I'll make a draft soon.

Um yes. Just because it is serious doesn't mean he meant to be serious.

[Frattastan]

Is it content or intent that defines a joke proposal?
