Euthanize the Mentally Feeble

A resolution to modify universal standards of healthcare.


Category: Health

Area of Effect: Healthcare

Proposed by: Social Community

Description: Understanding that this is a very controversial and touchy subject I will explain my stand point.

What is meant by “Mentally Feeble” is someone who is mentally incapable of caring for themselves (feeding themselves, cleaning themselves, wiping their own behinds), a person who is 24 but has the mental capacity of a 2 year old and will never get better. These are people who will never be able to manage in society, physically or mentally.

What is not meant is those who have:
- Asperger Syndrome
- ADD
- ADHD
- OCD
- Minor Autism

These people merely need some help but can function in the world.
In the Supreme Court case of Carter v. Canada a precedent was set that allowed those with fatal illnesses to be able to decide to be euthanized by medical professionals instead of suffering the anguish of their affliction.

Is it then not kinder to remove these unfortunate souls instead of letting them live a life of underdeveloped. Some will argue that they are happy so what does it matter? But ignorance is bliss. It would be easier on families, instead of having to change their life to support someone who is nearly mentally dead anyway. It would be easier on national economies instead of having to spend millions of dollars a year on group homes and special educational programs out side of the normal class rooms.

It is not a pleasant thought but we must think of humanity going forward and these people will never reproduce or if they do the offspring will be no better off.

RL violations, not from WA's perspective.
Possibly grossly offensive...

Yep, definitely contains an RL violation and isn't written from the perspective of the WA. Now, given GAR#285, can this be considered a consensual act? If so then we've got duplication. If this isn't considered consensual then it contradicts.

So, either way it's illegal.

[Imperium Anglorum]

Repeal "Nuclear Arms Possession Act"

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#10

Proposed by: The New Deutschland

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #10: Nuclear Arms Possession Act (Category: International Security; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: [b]Description:[b/] General Assembly resolution #10 will be struck out and void.

NOTING: WA members are outnumbered by non-WA members,

ACKNOWLEDGING: Nations withing the WA will be weaker,

REALIZING the fact that together, the threat of an attack is NOT an issue,

1. DECIDES that legislation allowing nuclear arms is not needed without a legislation prohibiting it.

2. PRESERVES the right for member nations to keep their nuclear weapons unless further decided to be dis-armed

Approvals: 8 (Ten Cities, Texas Bay, The Midwestern Atlantic Colonies, Timmii3, Cresenthia, Terrocka, Soviet Socialists in Antarctica, Funkadelia)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 85 more approvals)

Voting Ends: in 2 days 12 hours

Though I don't post much in this thread. This one caught my eye. It is illegal due to legislating in a repeal (the 'Preserves' clause). Though — another attempt to repeal NAPA, I remember someone said 'must be Tuesday' about that.

Definitely agree on your point about clause two. As for clause one, I have no idea what it's suppose to be saying.

Clause one is claiming that since no resolution has forbidden nuclear weapons, a resolution permitting them is unnecessary. I don't even know where to start on how wrong that claim is.

The incessant incorrect use of the possessive in the first drives me crazier than anything. I really wish we could just expel members who submit garbage.

To Create a peaceful society

A resolution to tighten or relax gun control laws.



Category: Gun Control

Decision: Tighten

Proposed by: Geramic


Description: We need to create a global law that the States of this world need to control the weapons within there State's. People are too dangerous to there neighbours if everyone has there own personal weapon. Only the state should be allowed to own and use weapons.

This if passed will reduce crime and create a safer and friendlier world to live in.

Naïve bumpersticker sloganeering. Yippee. No actual operative clause that I can see either, just "we need to..." .

I think a lot of these illegal resolutions could very Well be avoided if when writing them, the page was changed from "description" to something more understandable. I think the Noobs get caught in the description box and just describe what needs to be done rather than making it legal...

EXACTLY!

[The Dark Star Republic]

So bring it up in Technical. There's nothing the mods can do about hardcoded features like that.

[Frisbeeteria]

So bring it up in Technical.

That's really a good idea. If we go with a revised proposal submission form because we're changing the way stats work, that would be a great time to come up with a new format. Create a discussion thread for "Suggestions for a new GA proposal submission form", and then break it down. Would you like separate text boxes for Preamble versus Active Clauses? Would you like it to force the creation of a new GA forum thread on submission? Would you like co-author fields? Do you need formatting buttons?

I'm not saying that creating a topic like that would guarantee results, but it might be nice to hash it out so the admins know what players want.

Edit: went ahead and did it myself.

Before anybody gets on your case about overusing "bloody stupid", I agree that it is. It's entirely possible for a technologically-advanced country to have an economy centered on agriculture.

[Defwa]

I always considered agriculture to be an industry.
Of course since cottage industry is still a thing, a househusband ironing socks for money is thus industry.

Definitely a do nothing proposal due to a linguistic failure.

[Kaboomlandia]

It just says "all countries are required to have some kind of industry", so I can just pass off "illegal weapons trading" as an industry and get away with it?

[Kryozerkia]

I find myself wondering how it's 'Environmental Deregulation'.

And really faulty reasoning. It is individual people who stand to lose this money, not governments, therefore that money could not be used for governmental purposes any damned way. (Unluss that government has a habit of confiscating money to fund their projects). Governments can, however, tax winnings which then provides more revenue for use.

Not to mention taxing the casinos themselves.
