Defwa wrote:OOC: Welcome to the world assembly. You have a lot of posts for someone who has been here three days but I see that you don't have any experience in the WA. This is a nice idea and we need more environmentally conscious voices in the WA, however this one is so reliant on real world information it is borderline illegal. The WA exists in a multiverse consisting of tens of thousands of nations from premulticellular organisms to transmaterial galactic empires. Thus a lot of truths we hold as evident on earth do not stand up well here. You would do well to read the forum rules and browse the passed resolutions (both available at the top of this forum) for a guide on how this section works. I'd also advise participating in existing debates before attempting to author your own resolution.
Welcome again, and have fun

RECOGNISING the fact that palm oil is an important fat source for the world's population due to its affordability,
ACKNOWLEDGING the immense environmental and rainforest destruction and pollution that palm oil production, both legal and illegal, produces,
SADDENED by the unnecessary deaths and displacements of humans, orangutangs, and animals which are caused by palm oil production,
REALISING that palm oil is an exceptionally unhealthy fat, being entirely saturated fat, which has been linked to heart disease,
KNOWING that palm oil is only used due to its affordability,
ACKNOWLEDGING that there are other affordable alternatives, many of which are healthier and have less of a detrimental effect towards the environment:
BANS palm oil due to these factors, as doing so would greatly benefit the environment, orangutangs and other animals, and humans, and allow rainforests to regenerate themselves.

Why do I have the feeling we are going to get a ruling similar to the great toothpaste debates? Please author, submit this as soon as possible? I want to die on the floor laughing when it is ruled illegal.

Note the difference. The first makes your proposal illegal (no active clause); the second doesn't.

All this is going to do is waste three damn days, as we all know this is going down in flames. I urge the author (and it will most likely be ignored) to pull this travesty before it actually goes to vote.
