Draft - Toothpaste Accordance Act

Postby Eraplevok » Fri Jul 09, 2010 9:02 am

World Assembly
Human Rights

Purpose: To make toothpaste more fun without the mess

Concerned about the millions of messy sinks and related appliances across the universe of NationStates.

Concerned that toothpaste is no longer fun for younglings nor mature adults.

Realizes that colored toothpaste makes people happy in numerous studies done by a plethora of news organizations and the BEST committee (Bismuth Eduaction and Sharing Team).

Understands that in order to be hygenic, one must brush ones teeth.

HATES when people dont brush their teeth

HATES when people who do brush their teeth leave the cap off, and the toothpaste becomes all hard and crusty, not to mention leaves a huge mess

Hereby mandates that all toothpaste manufactured in WA territories be made in various colors; more preferrably white. This shall be overlooked by the TTF committee (Timmy Tooth and Friends)

Also hereby mandates that all people under the WA are required to use toothpaste daily which will also be overlooked by TTF.

Requires that people put the cap back on their toothpaste dispenser, those who do not comply will be at the mercy of those who are angered by huge messes relating to toothpaste. Those who are angered and commit a henious act shall be immune to any law.

This proposal demands a more hygenic and colorful world

This proposal shal not hinder any future toothpaste related legislation.

--
Can I submit this or what?

--
This is the new and improved version with the help of Turtleshroom

FRUSTRATED at messy sinks, mirrors, and appliances induced by poorly made toothpaste containers,

WORRIED that toothpaste is no longer fun for younglings nor mature adults,

UNDERSTANDING that in order to be more hygenic, one must brush ones teeth,

THINKING that more colorful or flavored toothpaste may encourage better oral hygene,

REALIZING ALSO that colored/flavored toothpaste encourages teeth brushing because it is more appealing,


YET DISTRUBED by the lack of regulation on what can and can not go into toothpaste,

WANTING colorful and flavorful toothpaste but refusing to compromise safety and dental health for consumer appeal,

FEARING that some conmpanies may insert toxic chemicals inserted to save a quick buck,

ALSO FEARING the chemicals used in toothpaste,

NOTING that some manufacturers do not disclose these chemicals and ingrediants,

NOTING that certain chemicals could harm the mouths, bodies, or lives of consumer,

SEEING THIS as risky and discouraging both to health and teeth,


HEREBY:

MANDATES that all toothpaste manufactured in WA territories be made in various colors,

MANDATES that no toxic, harmful, or teeth-damaging chemicals be inserted into toothpaste,

FORCES toothpaste manufacturers to list all ingrediants in their toothpaste,

FORCES toothpaste manufacturers to pass safety standards,

DEMANDS that toothpaste marketed towards children be safe to swallow,

MANDATES that all toothpaste tube caps be connected to the dispenser, so not to have the unscrewed cap lost or forgotton, thereby pre-empting messes,

REQUIRES toothpaste factories to be clean and sanitized to prevent diseases from entering toothpaste by mistake,


INSTATES the Timmy Tooth Board to create and manage these health and appearence standards,

AUTHORIZES the Timmy Tooth Board to send auditors/health inspectors biannually and without prior warning to WA member toothpaste manufacturers to check and maintain these health and appearence standards,

PERMITS the Timmy Tooth Board to use reasonable fines, never amounting more than seven hundred thousand of the member nation's currency, to convince the manufacturer to maintain these standards,

SPECIFICALLY FORBIDS the Timmy Tooth Board from seizing control or ownership of any WA member's toothpaste corporations, splitting up the companies, and from shutting down the same without expressed consent and assitance of the member states,

EMPOWERING the law enforcement, inspectors, and regulators of each WA member state to enforce these standards in conjunction with and upon the reccomendation of the Timmy Tooth Board on toothpaste corporations as they both jointly deem necessary,

FORBIDDING excessive or cruel punishments on toothpaste corporations.


This proposal demands a more hygenic and colorful world in dental health, and maintains safety standards to protect the mouths, and quite possibly, and lives of those who brush.

So be it,
THE WORLD ASSEMBLY.

In respect, I will take this hilarious and creative proposal as serious legislation.


Your proposal is laughed at because it mandates the brushing of teeth. The World Assembly may have thousands of mystical blue-helmeted bureaucrats to enforce and magically implement every WA resolution on your nation, but it can't, I repeat, CAN'T, force the universe to brush their teeth.

I reccomend that your Act be edited so that the Timmy Tooth Committee instead monitors toothpaste production, ensuring that toothpaste tubes are properly sealed in packaging, or that they don't contain alcohol, mercury, sugar, or other things like that. Don't force people to brush, instead, regulate the toothpaste and make it safe to brush with... -and colorful.

Your proposal, if you wish, should continue to mandate the colors and force all maufacturers to make caps that are attached to the tube, like that of ketchup bottles.

Because you try to regulate the COLOR of toothpaste and try to force everyone to brush there teeth - its upto person themself what they want to do with there teeth. Next thing is to regulate how many times a person should pee right?

What a waste of time this proposal is. The brushing of teeth is best addressed with local government initiative and education campaigns to raise awareness, as unprofitable as they often are. Further, why difference or what possible purpose is there to regulating the colour of toothpaste? It's just petty nit-picking micromanage at its worse. Regulating the production, as unfavourable as it is, is probably the only way in which a proposal on toothpaste could see the light of day. The turtles and mushrooms are right about that.

Also... do turtles and mushrooms even have teeth to brush?

Turtles do not have teeth, their jaws are strong enough to bite and tear food into swallow-able amounts. TS mushrooms have some sort of mouth that can show emotion (smileing, frowning), but it leads to nowhere (think car trunk) and lacks a tongue, lips, taste buds, teeth, and everything a normal mouth has. Instead, mushrooms simply do what RL fungi do. They decompose food externally and absorb it into their bodies. TS mushrooms accomplish this by simply lying down in the food source or sticking themselves in trash cans or compost bins.

The Honoured ambassador from Charlotte Ryberg does not consider toothpaste as notable for a WA resolution. Maybe medicine safety, but not specifically toothpaste.

Ambassador, in sheer pity, I propose to you a strongly edited version of your Resolution. Though we are not WA members, we strongly expect you to list the Holy Republic of TurtleShroom as your co-author.

THE WORLD ASSEMBLY:

FRUSTRATED at messy sinks, mirrors, and appliances induced by poorly made toothpaste containers,

WORRIED that toothpaste is no longer fun for younglings nor mature adults,

UNDERSTANDING that in order to be more hygenic, one must brush ones teeth,

THINKING that more colorful or flavored toothpaste may encourage better oral hygene,

REALIZING ALSO that colored/flavored toothpaste encourages teeth brushing because it is more appealing,


YET DISTRUBED by the lack of regulation on what can and can not go into toothpaste,

WANTING colorful and flavorful toothpaste but refusing to compromise safety and dental health for consumer appeal,

FEARING that some conmpanies may insert toxic chemicals inserted to save a quick buck,

ALSO FEARING the chemicals used in toothpaste,

NOTING that some manufacturers do not disclose these chemicals and ingrediants,

NOTING that certain chemicals could harm the mouths, bodies, or lives of consumer,

SEEING THIS as risky and discouraging both to health and teeth,


HEREBY:

MANDATES that all toothpaste manufactured in WA territories be made in various colors,

MANDATES that no toxic, harmful, or teeth-damaging chemicals be inserted into toothpaste,

FORCES toothpaste manufacturers to list all ingrediants in their toothpaste,

FORCES toothpaste manufacturers to pass safety standards,

DEMANDS that toothpaste marketed towards children be safe to swallow,

MANDATES that all toothpaste tube caps be connected to the dispenser, so not to have the unscrewed cap lost or forgotton, thereby pre-empting messes,

REQUIRES toothpaste factories to be clean and sanitized to prevent diseases from entering toothpaste by mistake,


INSTATES the Timmy Tooth Board to create and manage these health and appearence standards,

AUTHORIZES the Timmy Tooth Board to send auditors/health inspectors biannually and without prior warning to WA member toothpaste manufacturers to check and maintain these health and appearence standards,

PERMITS the Timmy Tooth Board to use reasonable fines, never amounting more than seven hundred thousand of the member nation's currency, to convince the manufacturer to maintain these standards,

SPECIFICALLY FORBIDS the Timmy Tooth Board from seizing control or ownership of any WA member's toothpaste corporations, splitting up the companies, and from shutting down the same without expressed consent and assitance of the member states,

EMPOWERING the law enforcement, inspectors, and regulators of each WA member state to enforce these standards in conjunction with and upon the reccomendation of the Timmy Tooth Board on toothpaste corporations as they both jointly deem necessary,

FORBIDDING excessive or cruel punishments on toothpaste corporations.


This proposal demands a more hygenic and colorful world in dental health, and maintains safety standards to protect the mouths, and quite possibly, and lives of those who brush.

So be it,
THE WORLD ASSEMBLY.



THAT is how you do it.

Alright, I will co-author you good sir, but with various colors part, it is most preferable that the color be white

Could you also fix up my Bismuth Article's proposal?

Anybody object to the brand new brilliant piece of legislation?
