I thought I repealed that resolution.

It had an invisible clause that made it un-repealable.

It had an invisible clause that made it un-repealable.

An invisible clause? Call the Secretariat, I think the proposal needs to be pulled!

STOP WATERING THE BOOZE
Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant

Demands the Ambassadors Lounge in the WAHQ building stop watering their booze.

This act is egregious act of deceit and abuse.

Mandates that only unaltered alcohol be used in the WAHQ Ambassadors Lounge for all mixed drinks and/or straight and/or 'on-the-rocks'.

Any Bar manager, bartender, or other employee who violates this edict shall deserve whatever they get from the patrons.

If it is single malt scotch which is watered and/or altered, then the most severe penalty from the nation of the patron deceived shall be enforced on the spot.

DEFINING LANGUAGE TO AID COMMUNICATION

Noting that while most nations have their own language, the universal language of communication appears to be English,

Noting that there are some terms in English that can cause confusion,

Noting that while confusion is bad at the best of times, when it comes to international relations and people who have the ability to blow the crap out of each other it gets even more perilous,

The WA hereby declares that :-

1) FLAMMABLE means something is susceptible to fire and heat and burning, while INFLAMMABLE means it is absolutely not,

2) INFER means to take something away from an article, post, conversation or other form of dialog, while IMPLY means to suggest something without directly stating it,

3) CLEAVE will now mean "to split" and no longer mean "to join",

4) FAST will now mean with a lot of speed and no longer mean fixed and unmoving,

5) SANCTION will now mean to give official permision to something and will no longer mean to impose action against

With these new regulations, it is hoped that the amount of confusion will be lessened within The WA and that the idiot in District 7 who blew up a warehouse because he did not realise "inflammable" meant the same as "flammable" will not condemn another warehouse to the same fate.

OOC: ...you are aware that my ambassador sometimes debates with her flamethrower, yes? She tends to consider most things flammable, whether they're categorized as such or not.

OOC: She probably does that when she's suitably sleep-deprived, even though her aides try to keep her from getting to the weapon during those times. Mind you, she only uses it as a debating tool to incinerate proposals she considers to be better off as carbon than as a proposal.

NOTING that the roots of most tiny disagreements are lost in history,

5) MANDATES that resolutions that were repealed be unrepealed by the WA.

If the argument is that "most resolutions get repealed whether they deserve it or not" and that is the key argument to support this proposal, wouldn't that argument be rendered null and void if you prevent the repealing of any future resolutions (including this one) and so wouldn't THAT render THIS resolution null and void and require it (for the sanity of the WA) to be repealed? Because if it wasn't repealed it would have to be repealed otherwise it wouldn't be repealed!!

[Araraukar]

Because if it wasn't repealed it would have to be repealed otherwise it wouldn't be repealed!!

*throws used tissue papers at you* Stop poking at my tenuous grasp of sanity!

Hmm, maybe that's the joke in the proposal you were poking at.

[States of Glory WA Office]

5) MANDATES that resolutions that were repealed be unrepealed by the WA.

So repealing all the repeals? That makes this proposal self-contradictory. Also, what if this results in two proposals duplicating or contradicting each other? I mean, how many versions of Habeas Corpus have there been?

Yes, I know that I'm taking a joke too seriously, but that's the joke.

Ouch. You're giving me a headache. Your logic is....either odd and crazy or actually pretty smart. I'm going to go with odd or crazy because your logic will cause insanity within the World Assembly.

Yes, I know that I'm taking a joke too seriously, but that's the joke.

Most people say: "You know, this proposal doesn't make sense,"

The WA would say: "A resolution? Yay! Let's go vote on it! Yay!"

[States of Glory WA Office]

Ouch. You're giving me a headache. Your logic is....either odd and crazy or actually pretty smart. I'm going to go with odd or crazy because your logic will cause insanity within the World Assembly.

The World Assembly needs no help on that front.
