> DEFINES an 'important nation' as an important nation, and 'unimportant nation' as an unimportant nation,

Nope.

DEFINES an "important nation" as a nation that is not unimportant, and "unimportant nation" as a nation that is not important.

Needs more circular reasoning. Otherwise, I approve.

I support peace in Israel and Palestine. The governments and people in power on all sides are an absolute disgrace, and their unwillingness to pursue peace is a disservice to the people they are meant to be serving. The status quo is not simply untenable; it is unquestionably unacceptable.

Outlawing Peace


The World Assembly,

DEFINES:
War as a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or organizations located within a nation or a state.
Peace as freedom from the state of war, during which calm and peaceful relations may be expected between nations or states or organizations located within a nation or a state.

NOTING that peace is held dear by many sentient beings across the universe in which we live,

UNDERSTANDING the fact that they yearn for peace and quiet and think of war as a destructive enterprise which has the potential of taking away many lives and laying waste to whole cities and, perhaps, countries,

REGRETTING the fact that sentient beings, particularly humans, have been weakened and made lazy by peace, for they spend their entire time playing pointless games, watching low-quality shows on television or the Internet, and generally just trying to have fun all day long,

LAMENTING the fact that a lot of today's youth have fallen victim to slothfulness, for they prefer video games and sleeping for many hours to doing things that are more useful, such as trying to earn money for them and their families by getting a job or helping the disadvantaged, such as the many unemployed people,

OBSERVING that the despicable activities practiced by people today are dangerous to them, and that many who are too lazy to work have now lost their jobs and, in an attempt to relieve the stress which damages their health and their relationship with those around them who are genuinely well-meaning and want to help, resorted to the use of intoxicating liquors, leading to health problems,

DECLARING that only the state of war can rouse all sentient beings from the detestable state of slothfulness, for war can lead to a state training its citizens in the use of weapons and launching whole armies of men to battle, and the idea of a violent death, which many fear, has the potential of causing the soldiers to become ruthless in battle, spilling the blood of all who try to destroy them in an attempt to avoid death for themselves,

NOTING that while war can lead to large-scale destruction, at least people now have something useful to do (that is, slaughtering enemies and capturing towns, cities, and forts in the name of their country),

FURTHER NOTING that war is able to build a spirit of teamwork and solidarity among the soldiers, who are united under the banner of their nation, as they work together towards total victory on the field of battle and also during sieges,

DEMANDS THAT ALL MEMBER STATES:
1. Prosecute the war effort with the fullest vigor, enlisting as many citizens as possible into their armed forces. Sentient beings of all ages are available for enlisting.
2. Make use of all available resources to the fullest extent for the war effort.
3. Ensure that all citizens are fully armed and prepared for the war.
4. Take no prisoners of war (POWs). All sentient beings of all social classes, from the royalty to the poorest of the poor, regardless of gender, who fall into the hands of the enemy are expected to be immediately executed by the enemy.
5. Execute all soldiers who are regarded to be too lazy to contribute to the war effort.
6. Produce nuclear weapons, in the expectation that, by the year 2064, those weapons are commonplace and ready to be detonated, with apocalyptic-like consequences on the state(s) affected by the detonation.

AND HEREBY DECLARES that peace is outlawed and all member states are now mandated to commence war against at least one other state of their choice, with a 1-year cessation of warfare on every tenth year.

Yeah, I should have just encouraged all member states to build and use nuclear weapons right away, but that would probably result in the extinction of mankind within a decade.

Proposed syntax for new repeals

Postby The Burning Flag » Mon Dec 30, 2013 3:36 am

Repeal <proposal name here>

Description: Meh. Just because.


I think this is better worded than most repeal proposals that are actually submitted to the WA.

Not really. I'd say more than half of the repeals submitted actually have something that says "repeal". Even if it wasn't a proper active clause.

Stop WA Rulebreaking

Category: Gun Control || Strength: Really really big || Proposed by: Bodobol



The World Assembly,

NOTING
that some people have a tendency to break proposal rules when submitting proposals,

BELIEVING that you and I should not have to see these grossly stupid proposals,

HEREBY CREATES the Super Honduran Interpreters of Therules (SHIT), a committee to stamp out rule-breaking proposals,

ESTABLISHES the Far-out Uralic Central-American Korps (FUCK), a military subdivision of SHIT that executes that players behind rule-breaking proposals,

HEREBY MANDATES that only ambassadors from Bodobol can serve on the SHIT Committee,

FURTHER MANDATES that moderators must delete nations that submit rule-breaking proposals or face the wrath of FUCK,

FURTHER FURTHER MANDATES no government may criticize SHIT or FUCK, and must agree with all of its policies and actions,

RECALLING Resolutions #1, #9, #11 and #15,

HEREBY REPEALS those resolutions (along with Resolution #280, in advance) because they infringe on our freedoms and are contrary to the SHIT agenda, as well as amending #198 to allow multiple trials (so as to try the players behind rule-breaking proposals until they break)

Outlaw Everything

Category: REDACTED | Strength: CENSORED | Proposed by: UNLAWFUL


The world assembly (Which, under the terms of this proposal no longer exists),

NOTING that unless we do something about it, people are gonna be criminals.

ALSO NOTING that some people are ignorant of the law, and have no idea what's illegal.

THEREFORE, clearly we have to do something about it.

SO, the world assembly (Which no longer exists)

DECLARES that everything is illegal, and that anyone caught breaking the law, including law enforcement officers and diplomats must be executed on sight.

Bad grammar and wrong words - "nations" doesn't translate to "kansat" in this instance, but "maat", and since it's member nations, it's "jäsenmaat". There's a reason that Google Translate is an endless source of hilarity for me, when making it translate between English and Finnish. :lol2:
