The legalization of gambling

A resolution to legalize or outlaw gambling.


Category: Gambling

Legalize/Outlaw: Legalize

Repeal "Minimum Standard of Living Act"

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.


Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#344

Proposed by: The Kingdom of the Order of 33rd Degrees

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #344: Minimum Standard of Living Act (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Dissension and Repeal of the Minimum Standard of Living Act - a speech by the Ambassador of The Allied States of The Kingdom of the Order of 33rd Degrees.

Recognizing that sweeping, strong language shall Not delegate what every WA member nation should and should not do for each of their millions or billions of citizens.

Recognizing that large strong nations should not force smaller, developing nations, to comply with resolutions that will negatively effect the economy. Thereby negatively effecting their citizens beyond a bearable amount.

Believing that there is no need for the government to monitor and require citizens to provide information on their lives to determine who gets aid and who doesn't as this law requires.

The Minimum Standard of Living Act has driven down economies around the world. There are no definitions for specific requirements and there are also many underlying duties that must be enacted by the governments to be in full compliance.

Although there is a need to help those citizens who are handicapped or unable to provide for themselves, there is no need to catalog all citizens in order to determine if they meet the requirements for the "Minimum Standard of Living". The direct result of the weaker economy after this resolution is actually worse for the people than it seems.

The Commonwealth of Railana, the creator the bill, has said in their own fact book entry "Statement on Compliance with General Assembly Resolutions" that they will not even comply with certain international laws "obligation to resist unjust laws is greater than our general duty to respect the will of the international community." To build on this concept, there are many rogue, and totalitarian states that no mater what resolution is passed will not comply. The Minimum Standard of Living Act, while conceptually is just, is an unfair, broad, negative, and controlling Policy.

Under this logic I and other nations Demand the immediate repeal of this law.

Specifics within this Act such as guaranteed minimum income, and a living wage cannot be included due to the simple fact that every industry is different and each job requires varying amounts of skills. Broad regulations like this discourage education, a strong work ethic, and motivation to provide by their own merit.

The exemption A can never be determined without the establishment of questionable law enforcement groups. Exemption C allows people to easily circumvent exemption by continually exercising ways to maintain their aid as stated in paragraph C of #4.

There are many other broad items that need to be specified, removed, or changed indefinitely. Nations who have complied with this regulation have been effected negatively. And other large or rogue nations have no problem because they either do not comply or have large enough economies to sustain such regulation.

Although there is a "opt-out" clause in section 5, this does does not out weight the implications of having such regulation in place. Nor does it clearly define how a nation is able to exercise this clause.

We, The Kingdom of the Order of 33rd Degrees have received many telegrams from nations who agreed with our first comments of dissension. After the repeal of the Minimum Standard of Living Act we should first begin a discussion on what we the WA should do about this issue of citizens who cannot provide for themselves.

The WA should enact specific definitions for each requirement in this type of law as well as lower it's strength.

Branding, references to real-life gameplay, awful grammar, no actual repeal clause, and not even posted on the forum. Wonderful.

On top of that, he calls it a "speech", and dictates that this not only could damage economies, but is doing so. For Christ's sake, it's only been a day. The multiverse isn't going to collapse in a day.

[Phydios]

Look at his nation's page- by "economies", he probably means his economy. As always, MSLA affected each nation differently upon passage. So I think this is really just him complaining that the WA hurt his economy.

[Imperium Anglorum]

It did. All WA resolutions take effect immediately.

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Newstro

Description: Everyone human will be able to marry another human no mater race,gender, and religion. No country can ban the rights of a citizen or anyone living on their soil to marry whoever they want as long as they are humans.

Let's not be on the wrong side of history. We have to set the example for other country's not in the WA. Many proposals try to be passed but they don't because people don't get what we're fighting for. WE ARE FIGHTING FOR LOVE.

FINDING: It unbalievable how humans try to control other people life and happiness even when they have no right to.

CONCERNED: People will live in a world in which they can't be themselves but who society tells the to be.

OBSERVING: That no law has been passed to ensure the right of these people.

Where's the branding? That said, the double-negative in Article One forces all nations to prohibit all marriages.

[Normlpeople]

The branding, though subtle, is the part where they claim "WE ARE FIGHTING FOR LOVE"

They can only use one weapon that has to be some sort of hunting rifle and nothing else.

Naive bullshit.

But it shoes the crux of the binary relax/tighten mechanism:
For some nations this'll probably tighten gun control (mandatory background checks, only hunting rifles)
for others it'll relax gun control (there are, I believe, nations where no citizen is allowed to own a firearm, unless they're a member of the military or police force or ... )

[Herby]

The branding, though subtle, is the part where they claim "WE ARE FIGHTING FOR LOVE"

That's not branding. "WE" can be the WA.

EDIT: I mean, unless there's a nation, region or other organization named "FIGHTING FOR LOVE"....
