[PASSED] Repeal "A Model World Assembly"

[Pradovia]

Voted for the proposal

[United Cookies Of America]

I have little to say in here since we are a more isolated nation, but we as the United Cookies Of America think that everyone should be educated even with international affairs. The reason why is that our corporations of the nation can increase partnerships in other nations with the great monetary system of capitalism and increase jobs and careers.

The Federal Republic rises in support of this motion, and expresses some discomfort over some of the arguments presented in opposition to this article, particularly the "think of the children!" line. Indeed, I wonder how much we'd be "thinking of the children" if we voted against this repeal, thus exposing them further to the World Assembly and its all-too-common misadventures. Terrorism. Defenestrations. Bribery. Corruption. Profanity. Lewdness. Sexually transmitted diseases. And, of course, that incomparable harlot you horndogs all drool over going by the name "Thessadoria."

But don't just take my word for it. Just listen to some of the letters the K-SPAN network has received from disturbed youngsters who have suffered the misfortune of being forced to watch the show World Assembly in their civics classes:

"That Jack Riley is a very bad man. He kidnapped that poor little kitty cat and got scratched from head to toe. Now the kitty probably has gotten all sorts of diseases from him. Please make sure he sees a doctor! And teach Mr. Riley to be nice to animals!!!" --Sally Sue, grade 4.

"Your show is so funny! I really like the part where the man blows himself up every week, but he always comes back safe and sound every time! It's almost like a Roadrunner cartoon!" --Billy, grade 5.

"Last week's episode really made me sad. Especially when the man came running out of the WA, acting really scared because a woman was chasing him with a golf club. Then he got in an SUV and crashed into a statue of the naked guy wrestling with babies because the lady was hitting the windows with the club. He fell out of the car with a big bump on his forehead but the woman just kept screaming at him about 'floozies.' I told my mom about this, and she thought I was watching a show about golf. But it was really about a man and woman named Sammy and Avaya. I sure hope they get back together, because I was sad when my parents broke up. Now all my mom does is yell at Dad about 'floozies' -- just like the lady on TV!" --Betsy, grade 4.

"That lady with the leather and the whip is really pretty. But when I told my mom she grounded me for a month." --Tommy, grade 5.

And if parents of these students still aren't convinced of the extreme hazards of Model WA clubs, I would propose (quite modestly) that the exterior of the World Assembly be changed to resemble a giant gingerbread house, just to drive the point home that allowing children to be lured into an enchanted cottage in the forest only to be cooked and eaten would be preferable to sending them to the WA.

I yield the floor, Madame Secretary-General.

Ah, reminds me of the time in the bar when I gave that group of kids from... I think it was Southern Patriots, but fuck if I know for sure... anyhow, I gave them all booze and porn. Seemed quite happy.

"They were Alqanian, from the March of Raekevik I am proud to say", Lord Raekevik explained. "And they were indeed quite happy to get booze and porn. I do not know what their parents thought about it, if they were ever informed; I have not received any complaints. There may be more visits by Alqanian schoolchildren, but we do not need a resolution on the books for that to happen and so the Queendom is happy to vote for this repeal of a clearly unnecessary resolution. We will think of the children just as much with or without this resolution on the books."

[Teddy Bear Homeland]

"Sorry... comming through... ooops, sorry..." a short, skinny teddy bear makes his way through the assembly, trying hard not to draw attention while looking extremly self concious about the fact he is late to the meeting. He reaches his seat and notices people staring at him. Mostly those on who's toes he stepped while searching for his seat. He clears his throat in embarassment at the attention:

"Of course the Teddy Bear Homeland opposes the motion to repeal.
There are no grounds for a repeal. The repeal contradicts itself. On one hand it criticizes the "Model World Assembly" for merely encouraging, on the other hand it accuses the "Model Worl Assembly" of having a potentialy harmful effect on nations with other educational systems. As the "Model World Assembly" encourages but does not prescribe, it has only the effect each nation willingly chooses it to have.
The argument about financial costs on local and national levels are equaly dismissable. A nation which sees no benefit in the "Model World Assembly" can simply choose to ignore it and encour no financial loses whatsoever.
Lastly, the nitpicking on wording, trying to find fault with the use of the word "people" in the original "Model World Assembly" document, underlines just how thin and without substance this motion to repeal truly is.
The Teddy Bear Homeland strongly encourages other delegates to vote against this motion to repeal. Not because we want you to think about the children, but because we want you to think about the motivation of this repeal.
The repeal boils down to one simple fact: "I see no use in this, therefor I want to stop other people from having this tool."
What will the delegates supporting this repeal demand next? That we close down every internet forum they do not post on? That we shut down every TV station they do not watch and cease printing the books they do not intent to read?
The Teddy Bear Homeland opposes such selfishness and hopes more delegates will do so as well.

Perhaps if you examined the various arguments located throughout the drafting process you would find the counter to every single argument you have made here.

As things currently stand, the Repeal looks... good.

Whatever makes you believe that I haven't examined those arguments? Just because some people believe them to counter the arguments against the repeal does not make it true.
I could see there existing arguments in favour of a repeal, but the repeal consentrates on the arguments that do not truly give it weight.
The Teddy Bear Homeland would have supported this repeal if the grounds were that "A Model WA is not able to create a true simulation if only a minority of nations participate in it. As it would be impossible to dictate the participation though, a proper Model WA seems impossible to host by the WA and therefor the organization and hosting of such simulations should be negotiated by interested nations outside WA proceedings". Or a wording on those lines.

As stands though I find the repeal most unconvincing in its reasoning.

[Mallorea and Riva]

Repeal "A Model World Assembly" was passed 8,787 votes to 2,249.

It's done! Thank you everyone for your criticism and support, all of it was much appreciated. To those who voted in favor I appreciate your support, to those who look to replace the Model WA, keep that vote spread firmly in mind. Over six thousand reasons not to try and replace it.
