Aren't you the same guy who posted in a Forum 7 thread and kept complimenting yourself and tried to force people to choose you?

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that is illegal.

We all realise that Bitely is behind this, right?

I mean, its beyond obvious.

Well, it's reached quorum...

I severely doubt the legitimacy of the approvals.

Oh please. Just face the fact that there's many a nation unhappy with the WA and just jumping at the the chance to voice their disappointment in it's failings. Perhaps is time the WA Ambassadors took some accountability.

I'd like to ask Vancouvia, leader of one of the largest regions, why the hell he approved this. Special mentions go to British Empire Strikes Back, Asturan, The Fatherland, and pretty much anyone else who approved this and leads a medium-large size region.

I was sympathetic with Bitely a number of times before. Now is not the time to do this Bitely, try and get well-known for good reasons before you do anything controversial.

Creating a WA Proposal to condemn it the very body in which you are proposing it in, but then voting to destory the thing you are voting in, which in turn would make why you just voted irrelevant.

Aren't you the same guy who posted in a Forum 7 thread and kept complimenting yourself and tried to force people to choose you?

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that is illegal.

Hmmm, this is interesting. Okay, why don't we break this down line by line:

APPLAUDING the founders of the World Assembly for their vision of a peaceful and brighter tomorrow;

ACKNOWLEDGING That the World Assembly has made great strives to see through this vision;

I don't know, I see nothing at all like that in the region's history. It seems they started it as an April Fools joke. What am I missing here?

NOTING that the World Assembly has become full of animosity, frivolity, and hostile debate;

Actually it's been very quiet for three and a half years, and before that it was mostly "Any questions? Anyone?" When was it ever full of animosity, frivolity and/or hostile debate? And, really, that's besides the point. Since when does spirited debate merit a condemnation?

REALIZING that the World Assembly has a habit of constantly repealing recently passed legislation;

Not seeing any legislation at all by this region. Repealed or passed.

HOPING that the World Assembly will get its act together and rise against the elitism that plagues it;

Hmmm okay, you may actually have a point there, that Ambassador nation does seem a little full of himself.

DISMAYED that we have let the World Assembly's useless folly continue for too long;

Well, I suppose that's arguable. Regions with three and a half years of inactivity could be seen as useless, but that seems a tad harsh, yes?

We the nations of the World Assembly hereby CONDEMN the World Assembly.

No, there are way, way too many factual errors here. I don't see what the region in question has done -- and, yes, goddammit, the fucking region -- to merit a condemnation. Against.

It was ruled that this is an ideological condemnation. So your points are null.

This ^^ is why resos like this keep showing-up: you've got to stop encouraging and enabling them with your votes. Qualifying signing statements may feel good, i.e. "well I'm voting for this, but only for the joke value" — but then the joke is on you when the thing passes, and somebody is inspired to pen something equally stupid/insipid/pointless/etc.

Best thing to do with these, is ignore them.
