[DISCARDED] Commend Auralia

[Afrasiab]

Yay! This is now at vote!

[Koderland]

Koderland votes against this commendation on the grounds that Auralia has consistently put forth measures to decrease freedom in the name of religion. The authorship of resolutions focusing on the economy is but a small part of it's agenda, as Auralia has seen fit to support numerous moralistic resolutions and repeals that would desecrate the very idea of equal human rights for all. The way in which Auralia and like-minded nations try to disguise intolerance and bigotry as "Godliness" and "morality" should be condemned by this assembly immediately.

I agree with this and vote against the commendation of Auralia

We agree as well, though we suspect this will pass. Is it time yet for that condemnation draft?

Far too early to suspect that, as none of the GCR Delegates have voted.

Yes but who knows, I doubt that most voters even bother to read the whole resolution and try to understand what he has done which is mostly authorship of small resolutions. I also noticed that there are no specific contributions listed in the resolution

Absolutely correct. But when 300+ votes from Cerb or 400+ from McM come in, that could swing the lemmings one way or another.

You obviously didn't read down to the "Grateful" clause, then.

[Good Morning]

I wholeheartedly support this commendation. Auralia is the man.

[The Saint James Islands]

Amongst Democratic Socialist Assembly residents, voting is currently 2-9 (81% Against).

This is such music to my ears. No one can possibly know how much I am enjoying this right now. My current lack of sobriety is off of happiness rather than booze for once in my WA career. For the first time in ages, I can finally act upon the Commonwealth's shiny Security Council policy. As with all other substantive Security Council proposals, we Saint James Islanders are AGAINST this resolution as a matter of course. No offence to the candidate, of course.

[Port blood]

Just leaving this here in a attempt to let people realize the truth...

I agree comrade. <---- Exterminate these things. Religion is just a large cluster of brainwashed individuals who are born into it and can't think for themselves.

As the delegate from a nation that prides itself on religious freedom I could not disagree with you more. The true issue is the way in which a government endorses one religious view over another, not that religion exists at all. It is a government's duty to protect people of all races, religions, genders and sexuality. Your view that religious people are in some way inferior human beings is no better than a nation that treats sexual minorities as second class citizens.

[Applebania]

The Applebanian delegate stands.
"Applebania opposes this resolution. Their non-compliance with three WA resolutions makes them uncommendable in my eyes."

[Tabcorp Park]

Tabcorp Park has voted against this commend and urges anyone who cares for the general assembly to do the same.

It it our opinion that you commend a person for all of their actions and not just a few. Openly admitting to defying resolutions in their Facebook is not commendable.

[Aetrina]

While we are tempted to vote for this just for the fact that it contains no defender rhetoric, The Kingdom of Aetrina cannot justify a for vote at this time. While the nominated nation's "compliance" to certain resolutions is creative at best, as we all know there can be no real non-compliance. While we feel it is counterproductive to remain in the WA if you are not going to follow it's rules, we also understand some of the moral ambiguity that can cause. Overall the nominated nation has made a name for themselves by publicly stating their intentions to not comply with several WA resolutions. In our opinion this is not commendable. Nor do we agree that it is worthy of condemnation either.

[Communist Eraser]

So this is the 2nd time the WA voters has sided with the non-compliancers. When is the other side going to accept it?

The implication that this is a referendum on noncompliance by the voters is a monumentally stupid statement to put forth. I actually have a headache from trying to wrap my mind around how those dots became connected in your mind.

[Elke and Elba]

No worries, if it's a lemming vote it's easy to deal with. A repeal would be rather in order and accepted if 'Lemming Effect' is used. ^_^

[Communist Eraser]

Take a panadol Mall. It's obvious how I connected the dots when most of the posts in this thread are about Auralia's non compliance.

Not sure aboutt hat Elke. You usually have to do something really horrible to get a commend removed - I think Sedge was the only one? QotD also had his removed, but that was after his region, The Featured Region Followers got commended so it was redundant. People generally don't like to rip badges off others.

The second implication, that the majority of voters have read this thread, has actually blown my mind even more than the first one.

The voters probably aren't aware of this debate we're having. Most might not even know what non-compliance is. So this isn't an example of the WA reaffirming or rejecting the notion of national sovereignty. Rather, it's an example of an author showing no regard for the GA and its customs.

Speaking as an SC author: In my experience, most authors who are heavily focused on the SC don't really care about the GA or what it does unless it relates to the proposal they may be writing.

[Normlpeople]

As a region that opposes business and economy-killing legislation (often based on flawed-science and heartstring-tugging), We support this resolution. Auralia's past track record and history of ridding the WA of this particular abomination is to be commended indeed.

[Lamoni]

AGAINST. The subject of the commendation is in non-compliance with three WA resolutions, and has no business being commended by the WA.

[Varislavia]

Completely Against

Recently, less than five hours ago, our Diplomatic Services have aknowledged that the Government of Auralia had resigned from the World Assembly in the middle of the night. Since turning his back to the WA, it would be nothing but meaningless to go any further with this proposal. This commendation should be removed from the panel.

Hope more nations join our position on this matter.
